Diuteronomi 11
1 Hụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nʼanya, na-edebezukwa ikpe ya na ụkpụrụ ya na ihe niile o nyere nʼiwu.
Love the Lord your God and do everything he says—his rules, regulations, and commandments.
2 Chetanụ taa na ọ bụghị ụmụ unu, kama ọ bụ unu onwe unu jiri anya unu hụ ịdọ aka na ntị Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu. Ọ bụ unu hụrụ ịdị ukwuu ya, ịdị ike ya, ịrụsị ọrụ ike nke ike ya,
You should realize that it's not your children who have experienced the Lord your God's discipline. It was you who saw his greatness, his power and strength;
3 ihe ịrịbama ya niile na ihe niile o mere nʼIjipt, otu o si megide Fero eze Ijipt na ndị ala Ijipt niile.
and his miracles. You saw what he did to Pharaoh king of Egypt and his whole country.
4 Unu hụrụ ihe o mere ndị agha Ijipt na ịnyịnya ha, na ụgbọ agha ha. Otu o si mee ka ha laa nʼiyi nʼime Osimiri Uhie, mgbe ha na-achụ unu ọsọ, na otu Onyenwe anyị si wetara ha ịla nʼiyi ebighị ebi.
You saw what he did to the Egyptian army and its horses and chariots when he swept them away in the Red Sea, drowning them as they chased after you. The story hasn't changed!
5 Ọ bụghị ụmụ unu hụrụ ihe o meere unu nʼoge ahụ niile unu nọ nʼọzara tutu unu erute nʼebe a,
You saw what he did for you in the desert until you arrived here.
6 na ihe o mere Datan na Abiram, ụmụ Eliab, ndị si nʼebo Ruben, otu ala si meghee ọnụ ya loda ha, ha na ezinaụlọ ha, ụlọ ikwu ha na ihe ọbụla nke dị ndụ ha nwere nʼetiti Izrel niile.
You saw what he did, right there among you, to Dothan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab of the tribe of Reuben, when the earth split open and swallowed them down—their families, their tents, and all their animals.
7 Ma ọ bụ anya unu hụrụ oke ihe ịtụnanya ndị a niile Onyenwe anyị mere.
You saw with your own eyes all the amazing things that the Lord has done.
8 Lezienụ anya debe iwu ndị a m na-enye unu taa, ka unu nwee ike, baa bichikwaa ala ahụ unu na-agafe Jọdan inweta,
So you must keep every commandment I am giving you today That way you will have the strength to enter and take over the country that you are crossing the Jordan to have as your own,
9 ka unu bie ogologo ndụ nʼime ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị ṅụrụ nʼiyi inye nna nna unu ha, na ụmụ ụmụ ha, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
You will also have long lives in the country that the Lord promised to give your forefathers and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Nʼihi na ala a unu na-aga ịbanye nʼime ya inweta adịghị ka ala Ijipt, ebe unu si pụta, ebe ị na-agha mkpụrụ gị, were ụkwụ tụwara mmiri ụzọ, dịka a na-eme nʼubi akwụkwọ nri.
The country you're entering to occupy isn't like the country of Egypt that you've come from. There you had to sow your seed and work hard irrigating the ground, like taking care of a vegetable garden.
11 Ma ala unu na-agafe Jọdan inweta bụ ala nwere ugwu na ndagwurugwu, nke na-aṅụ mmiri ozuzo si nʼeluigwe.
But here in the country that you are crossing the Jordan to take over is a land of mountains and valleys that receives plenty of rain
12 Ọ bụ ala nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nʼonwe ya na-elekọta! Site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, sitekwa na mbido afọ ruo nʼọgwụgwụ afọ, anya ya adịghị apụ na ya.
It is a land that the Lord your God takes care of. The Lord your God it is always watching over it, all year long.
13 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na unu ga-eji ntụkwasị obi rube isi nʼiwu ya niile, nke m na-enye unu taa, ọ bụrụkwa na unu ga-eji obi unu niile na mmụọ unu niile hụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nʼanya, ọ bụrụkwa na unu ga-efe ya ofufe,
So if you pay careful attention to keep the commandments I'm giving you today, if you love the Lord your God and to worship with all your mind and with all your being,
14 ọ ga na-ezite mmiri ozuzo nʼoge ya, mmiri ozuzo nke mbụ na nke ikpeazụ, nke ga-eme ka ọka unu mịa mkpụrụ hiri nne, ka unu nwee ọtụtụ vaịnị, nweekwa mmanụ oliv.
then I will send rain for your land at the right time, rain in autumn and spring, so that you can harvest your grain, new wine, and olive oil.
15 Ọ ga-eme ka anụ ụlọ gị nwee ahịhịa ha ga-ata, gị onwe gị ga-enwekwa ihe oriri dị ukwuu. Afọ ga-ejukwa gị nʼihe i nwere.
I will also provide grass in the fields for your livestock. You will have more than enough to eat.
16 Ma lezienụ anya, ka ahapụ ịrafu obi unu mee ka unu wezuga onwe unu, bido ife chi ndị ọzọ ofufe, kpọọkwa isiala nye ha.
But make sure you're not that you're not fooled into worshiping and bowing down to other gods,
17 Mgbe ahụ, iwe Onyenwe anyị ga-adị ọkụ nʼebe unu nọ, ọ ga-agbachi eluigwe, mmiri agaghị ezo, ala agaghị epupụtakwa ihe ubi, unu ga-alakwa nʼiyi nʼotu ntabi anya, nʼezi ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị na-enye unu.
or the Lord will become angry with you. He won't send any rain, and the land won't produce any crops, and you will soon die, even in the good land that the Lord is giving you.
18 Meenụ ka okwu m ndị a dịgide nʼobi unu na nʼime mmụọ unu. Keenụ ha dịka ihe ịrịbama nʼelu aka unu, kekwasịkwa ha dịka ihe ncheta nʼegedege ihu unu.
Focus your minds on the words that I'm saying. Tie them on your hands as reminders and put them on your foreheads as well.
19 Kuzierenụ ha ụmụ unu, na-ekwu ihe banyere ha mgbe ị na-anọdụ nʼụlọ gị, na mgbe ị na-aga nʼokporoụzọ, mgbe ị na-edina ala na mgbe i si nʼihe ndina bilie.
Teach them to your children and talk about them when you're at home and when you're traveling, when you lie down and when you get up.
20 Dee ha nʼelu ibo ọnụ ụlọ gị na nke ọnụ ụzọ ama gị.
Write them on the doorposts of your homes and on your gates,
21 Ka ụbọchị ndụ unu na nke ụmụ unu dị ogologo nʼala ahụ unu na-aga ibi nʼime ya, nke Onyenwe anyị kwere nna unu na nkwa. Dịka ogologo ụbọchị niile ha nke eluigwe dị nʼelu, ụwa dịkwa nʼokpuru ya.
so that as long as the earth lasts, you and your children may have long lives in the country the Lord promised to give your forefathers.
22 Ọ bụrụ na unu elezie anya debe iwu niile m na-enye unu taa, na-ahụkwa Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nʼanya, na-eso ụzọ ya, na-adaberekwa na ya,
If you are careful to keep all these commandments I am giving you to follow, if you love the Lord your God and follow all his ways, and hold onto him,
23 Onyenwe anyị ga-achụpụ mba niile bi nʼala ahụ unu na-aga inweta, unu ga-anapụkwa ha ala ahụ, ọ bụladị na ha buru ibu, siekwa ike karịa unu.
then the Lord will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will take over the country from nations that are greater and stronger than you.
24 Ebe ọbụla unu zọnyere ụkwụ unu nʼala ahụ aghọọla nke unu, site na ndịda Negeb ruo Lebanọn, sitekwa nʼOsimiri Yufretis ruo Osimiri Mediterenịa. Ha ga-abụ nke unu.
Everywhere you walk will belong to you. Your territory will extend from the desert all the way to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
25 Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla pụrụ imegide unu nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-emenye ha egwu na ụjọ nʼafọ nʼụzọ ọbụla unu na-aga, dịka o kwere na nkwa.
No one will be able to withstand you; the Lord your God will make everyone living there absolutely terrified of you wherever you go, just as he promised you.
26 Lee, taa, ana m eche nʼihu unu ngọzị Onyenwe anyị na ọbụbụ ọnụ.
Look! Today I'm placing before you both a blessing and a curse.
27 Ngọzị ga-adịrị unu ma ọ bụrụ na unu edebe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, nke m na-enye unu taa.
You will receive a blessing if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I'm giving you today.
28 Nkọcha ahụ ga-adị ma ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ irube isi nye iwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke unu, wezuga onwe unu nʼụzọ ahụ nke m nyere unu nʼiwu taa site nʼịgbaso chi ndị ọzọ, nke unu na-amaghị.
But you will receive a curse if you disobey the commandments of the Lord your God and don't keep to the path I'm ordering you to follow today by worshiping some other unknown gods.
29 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu mere ka unu nweta ala ahụ, a ga-esite nʼelu ugwu Gerizim kwupụta ngọzị ga-adịrị unu, a ga-esitekwa nʼelu ugwu Ebal kwupụta ọbụbụ ọnụ ga-adakwasị unu.
When the Lord your God takes you into the country you are going in to occupy, announce the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
30 Gerizim na Ebal bụ ugwu dị nʼofe Jọdan, nʼakụkụ okporoụzọ dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ. Ọ dị nso nʼebe osisi ukwu ndị ahụ toro na More, nʼala ndị Kenan ahụ bi nʼAraba, nʼakụkụ Gilgal.
(These mountains are to the west of the Jordan, in the country of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh.)
31 Nʼihi na unu na-aga ịgafe osimiri Jọdan, ịbanye nweta ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu na-enye unu. Mgbe unu nwetara ya biri nʼime ya,
Shortly you're going to cross the Jordan to enter and occupy the country the Lord your God is giving you. When you take it over and settle there,
32 hụnụ na unu rubere isi debe iwu niile na ụkpụrụ niile m na-eche nʼihu unu taa.
make sure you follow all the rules and regulations that I'm giving you today.
