Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment and the judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.
Mgbe esemokwu dị nʼetiti ndị mmadụ, ha ga-ebuga ikpe ha nʼụlọikpe ebe ndị ikpe ga-elenye anya nʼikpe ahụ, maa onye ajọ omume ikpe, meekwa ka onye aka ya dị ọcha nwere onwe ya.
2 It shall be, if the wicked man is worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.
Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ikpe mara kwesiri ka apịa ya ụtarị, onye ọkaikpe ga-eme ka onye ahụ dinaa ala nʼihu ya, ka apịakwa ya ọnụọgụgụ ụtarị kwesiri ajọ omume ya,
3 He may sentence him to no more than forty stripes. He shall not give more, lest if he should give more and beat him more than that many stripes, then your brother will be degraded in your sight.
ma agaghị eti ya karịa ọnụ ụtarị iri anọ. Ọ bụrụ na e tie onye ahụ ikpe mara ọnụ ụtarị karịrị nke a, ọ ga-abụ onye e leliri anya nʼihu ndị Izrel ibe ya.
4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
Mgbe ehi na-azọcha ọka, ejila ihe kechie ya ọnụ.
5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her, and take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.
Ọ bụrụ na nwoke anwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa, nwunye ya ahụ agaghị alụ di nʼama, kama nwanne nwoke di ya ga-alụrụ ya, ha ga-edinakọkwa.
6 It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.
Nwa nwoke mbụ nwanyị ahụ ga-amụ ga-aza aha nwoke ahụ nwụrụ anwụ, ka a ghara ihichapụ aha ya nʼala Izrel.
7 If the man doesn’t want to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel. He will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.”
Ma ọ bụrụ na nwoke ahụ ajụ ịlụ nwunye nwanne ya nwụrụ anwụ, nwanyị ahụ ga-ejekwuru ndị okenye obodo ahụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, gwa ha sị, “Nwanne di m ajụla ime ka aha nwanne ya nwoke dịgide nʼIzrel. O kweghị ịrụ ọrụ kwesiri nwanne di nʼebe m nọ.”
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him. If he stands and says, “I don’t want to take her,”
Ndị okenye obodo ga-akpọ ya, dụọ ya ọdụ. Ọ bụrụ na ọ nọgide jụ sị, “Achọghị m ịlụ ya,”
9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his sandal from off his foot, and spit in his face. She shall answer and say, “So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.”
nwanyị ahụ ga-ejekwuru ya nʼihu ndị okenye, tọpụ akpụkpọụkwụ o yi nʼụkwụ aka nri ya, bụọ ya asụ nʼihu, sị ya, “Otu a ka a na-eme nwoke ọbụla jụrụ iwuli ụlọ nwanne ya nwoke.”
10 His name shall be called in Israel, “The house of him who had his sandal removed.”
A ga-ama ahịrị ya nʼIzrel dịka, “Ezinaụlọ nwoke ahụ e sitere nʼụkwụ ya yipụ akpụkpọụkwụ ya.”
11 When men strive against each other, and the wife of one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts out her hand, and grabs him by his private parts,
Mgbe ndị ikom abụọ na-alụ ọgụ, ọ bụrụ na nwunye otu nʼime ha abịa ịnapụta di ya site nʼaka onye na-eti ya ihe, ma nwanyị ahụ esetipụ aka jide nwoke ahụ nʼamụ ya,
12 then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.
a ga-egbupụ aka nwanyị ahụ. Ebere adịghị ya.
13 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light.
Enwela ụzọ ihe ọtụtụ abụọ nʼime akpa gị, nke dị arọ, na nke na-adịghị arọ.
14 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one small.
Enwela ụdị ihe ọtụtụ abụọ nʼụlọ gị, nke ukwu na nke nta.
15 You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
Ị ghaghị inwe ezi ihe ọtụtụ na nke zuru ezu. Nke a ga-eme ka ndụ gị dị ogologo, dịkwa mma nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị.
16 For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị kpọrọ onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ndị a asị, bụ onye ọbụla na-aghọ aghụghọ.
17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came out of Egypt,
Cheta ihe ndị Amalek mere gị nʼụzọ mgbe i si nʼIjipt na-apụta.
18 how he met you by the way, and struck the rearmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he didn’t fear God.
Chetakwa na ha lụsoro gị ọgụ mgbe ike gwụrụ gị, mgbe ị dara mba, tigbuo ndị niile ji nwayọọ na-abịa nʼazụ. Ha atụkwaghị egwu Chineke.
19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky. You shall not forget.
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere ka i nwere onwe gị site nʼaka ndị iro gbara gị gburugburu, mgbe o mere ka i zuru ike nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị dịka ihe nketa, ime ka i nweta ya, ị ghaghị igbuchapụ ndị Amalek, ka ha bụrụ ndị a na-agaghị echetakwa ọzọ nʼokpuru eluigwe. Echefukwala ime otu a.
