1 Ndị a bụ iwu na ụkpụrụ niile unu na-aghaghị idebe ogologo ụbọchị niile unu ga-ebi nʼala ahụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna unu ha nyere unu, dịka ihe nweta.

These are the ordinances and the lawes, which ye shall obserue and doe in the lande (which the Lord God of thy fathers giueth thee to possesse it) as long as yee liue vpon the earth.

2 Tikpọọnụ ebe niile nke dị nʼelu ugwu niile dị elu na nʼelu ugwu niile dị nta, nakwa nʼokpuru osisi mgbasa ọbụla, bụ ebe mba niile unu na-anapụ ala ha fere chi niile ha ofufe.

Yee shall vtterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall possesse, serued their gods vpon the hie mountaines and vpon the hilles, and vnder euery greene tree.

3 Kwatuokwanụ ebe ịchụ aja ha niile, tijisie ogidi nsọ ha niile, kpọọkwa osisi Ashera ha ọkụ, gbutukwaanụ arụsị niile a apịrị apị nke chi niile ha. Kpochapụkwanụ aha ha niile site nʼebe niile ahụ.

Also ye shall ouerthrowe their altars, and breake downe their pillars, and burne their groues with fire: and ye shall hew downe ye grauen images of their gods, and abolish their names out of that place.

4 Unu agaghị efe Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ofufe dịka ndị ahụ na-efe arụsị na-eme.

Ye shall not do so vnto ye Lord your God,

5 Kama unu chọpụta ebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-ahọpụta, site nʼetiti ebo Izrel niile, ebe ọ ga-akpọkwasị aha ya. Nʼebe ahụ ka unu ga-abịakwute ya.

But ye shall seeke the place which the Lord your God shall chose out of all your tribes, to put his Name there, and there to dwell, and thither thou shalt come,

6 Ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka unu ga-ewetara Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ unu, na aja ndị ọzọ niile, na otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri unu, na onyinye pụrụ iche unu, bụ onyinye unu kwere nkwa inye, na onyinye afọ ofufu unu, na onyinye ụmụ mbụ igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ unu.

And ye shall bring thither your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the offring of your hands, and your vowes, and your free offrings, and the first borne of your kine and of your sheepe.

7 Unu na ezinaụlọ unu ga-anọkwa nʼebe ahụ, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, rie oriri unu. Nʼihu ya kwa ka unu ga-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ, nʼihi ihe niile ahụ unu setịpụrụ aka unu ime, na nʼihi ngọzị Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu gọziri unu.

And there ye shall eate before the Lord your God, and ye shall reioyce in all that yee put your hand vnto, both ye, and your housholdes, because the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.

8 Unu agaghị emekwa ihe masịrị unu, dịka unu si eme taa, nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ọbụla o chere na o ziri ezi nʼanya ya,

Ye shall not doe after all these things that we doe here this day: that is, euery man whatsoeuer seemeth him good in his owne eyes.

9 nʼihi na iwu ndị a ebidobeghị ịdị ire, ebe ọ bụ na unu abanyebeghị nʼebe izuike ahụ, na ihe nketa ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu na-enye unu.

For ye are not yet come to rest, and to the inheritance which the Lord thy God giueth thee.

10 Kama, mgbe unu gafere osimiri Jọdan, birikwa nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu na-enye unu dịka ihe nketa, mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyere unu izuike, meekwa ka unu nwere onwe unu site nʼebe ndị iro unu nọ.

But when ye goe ouer Iorden, and dwell in ye land, which the Lord your God hath giuen you to inherit, and when he hath giue you rest from al your enemies round about, and yee dwel in safetie,

11 Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-eweta ihe ndị ahụ niile m nyere unu nʼiwu: aja nsure ọkụ unu niile, na aja ndị ọzọ, na onyinye ahụ pụrụ iche unu kwere nkwa inye, unu ga-eweta ya nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu họpụtara ebe o kpọkwasịrị aha ya.

When there shalbe a place which the Lord your God shall chose, to cause his name to dwell there, thither shall yee bring all that I commaund you: your burnt offrings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offring of your hands, and all your speciall vowes which ye vowe vnto the Lord:

12 Unu na ụmụ unu ndị ikom, na ụmụ unu ndị inyom, na ndị odibo nwoke na nwanyị niile unu, na ndị Livayị bi nʼobodo unu, ndị na-enweghị ihe nketa nke aka ha, ga-anọ nʼebe ahụ ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.

And ye shall reioyce before the Lord your God, yee, and your sonnes and your daughters, and your seruaunts, and your maidens, and the Leuite that is within your gates: for hee hath no part nor inheritance with you.

13 Ị gaghị achụ aja nsure ọkụ gị nʼebe ọbụla masịrị gị,

Take heede that thou offer not thy burnt offrings in euery place that thou seest:

14 ọ bụ naanị nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-ahọpụta. Ọ ga-ahọpụta otu ebe, nʼala otu ebo. Ọ bụ naanị nʼebe ahụ ka ị ga-esure aja unu niile, ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka ị ga-eweta onyinye gị niile.

But in ye place which the Lord shall chose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offrings, and there thou shalt doe all that I commaund thee.

15 Otu ọ dị, ị pụrụ ịnọ nʼebe ọbụla gbuo anụ ị ga-eri, dịka ọ bụ ele maọbụ mgbada ugbu a. Rie anụ mgbe ọbụla ọ gụrụ gị agụụ, na-erikwa ya mgbe ọbụla i nwetara ya, dịka ngọzị Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu na-enye unu. Ma onye dị ọcha, ma onye na-adịghị ọcha nwere ike iso rie ya.

Notwithstanding thou maiest kill and eate flesh in all thy gates, whatsoeuer thine heart desireth, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath giuen thee: both the vncleane and the cleane may eate thereof, as of the roe bucke, and of the hart.

16 Naanị iwu dị nʼiri anụ ndị a bụ na ị gaghị eri ọbara ya, wụsa ọbara ya nʼala, dịka mmiri.

Onely ye shall not eat the blood, but powre it vpon the earth as water.

17 Ma o nweghị onyinye ọbụla a na-enye Onyenwe anyị i kwesiri ịnọ nʼụlọ gị rie. I kwesighị ịnọ nʼụlọ gị rie onyinye ndị a: onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ọka na mmanya ọhụrụ gị, na nke mmanụ oliv, na ụmụ mbụ nke igwe ehi na igwe ewu na atụrụ gị, na ihe ọbụla i kwere na nkwa, na onyinye afọ ofufu gị, na onyinye ndị ọzọ pụrụ iche.

Thou maist nor eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corne, nor of thy wine, nor of thine oyle, nor the first borne of thy kine, nor of thy sheep, neither any of thy vowes which thou vowest, nor thy free offerings, nor the offering of thine hands,

18 Kama unu ga-eri ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-ahọpụta, gị onwe gị, na ụmụ gị ndị nwoke na ụmụ gị ndị nwanyị, na ndị odibo nwoke na nwanyị niile unu, na ndị Livayị si nʼobodo unu niile, unu ga-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, nʼihe niile aka gị rụpụtara.

But thou shalt eate it before the Lord thy God, in the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse, thou, and thy sonne, and thy daughter, and thy seruat, and thy maid, and the Leuite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt reioyce before the Lord thy God, in all that thou puttest thine hand to.

19 Echefukwala ndị Livayị, gị na ha ga na-enwekọ ihe ndị a niile, ogologo ụbọchị niile i biri nʼala ahụ.

Beware, that thou forsake not the Leuite, as long as thou liuest vpon the earth.

20 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị mere ka oke ala gị saa mbara, dịka o kwere gị na nkwa, i nwee oke agụụ maka iri anụ na-asị, “Achọrọ m iri anụ,” mgbe ahụ, i nwere ike rie anụ dịka i si chọọ.

When the Lord thy God shall enlarge thy border, as hee hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I wil eate flesh, (because thine heart longeth to eate flesh) thou maiest eate flesh, whatsoeuer thine heart desireth.

21 Ọ bụrụ nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị kpọkwasịrị aha ya dị gị anya site nʼebe i nọ, i nwere ike gbuo anụ ụlọ site nʼigwe ehi maọbụ ewu na atụrụ nke Onyenwe anyị nyere gị, dịka m si nye gị nʼiwu. Gbuo ha nʼobodo ebe i bi, riekwa ha otu ị chọrọ.

If the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to put his Name there, be farre from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy bullockes, and of thy sheepe which the Lord hath giuen thee, as I haue commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates, whatsoeuer thine heart desireth.

22 Rie ha dịka ị ga-esi rie ele maọbụ mgbada. Onye ọbụla nʼime unu nwere ike rie ya, ma onye dị ọcha ma onye na-adịghị ọcha.

Euen as the roe bucke, and the hart is eaten, so shalt thou eat them. both the vncleane and the cleane shall eate of them alike.

23 Ma lezie anya hụ na i righị ọbara, nʼihi na ndụ dị nʼọbara. Ị gaghị erikọta anụ ọbụla na ndụ ya.

Onely bee sure that thou eate not the blood: for the blood is the life, and thou maiest not eate the life with the flesh.

24 Erila ọbara, wụsa ya nʼala dịka mmiri.

Therefore thou shalt not eat it, but powre it vpon the earth as water.

25 Erila ya, ka ihe si otu a gaara gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị nke ọma, nʼihi na ị na-eme ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.

Thou shalt not eat it, that it may go well with thee; and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt doe that which is right in the sight of the Lord:

26 Ma were ihe ndị ahụ niile i doro nsọ, ya na ihe ọbụla i kwere Onyenwe anyị na nkwa gaa nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-ahọpụta.

But thine holy things which thou hast, and thy vowes thou shalt take vp, and come vnto the place which the Lord shall chuse.

27 Chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, ma anụ na ọbara. A ghaghị ịwụsa ọbara anụ ahụ e ji chụọ aja nʼakụkụ ebe nchụaja nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị. Ma i nwere ike rie anụ ahụ e ji chụọ aja.

And thou shalt make thy burnt offerings of the flesh, and of the blood vpon the altar of the Lord thy God, and the blood of thine offerings shall bee powred vpon the altar of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eate the flesh.

28 Lezie anya, debe iwu ndị a niile m na-enye gị. Ọ bụrụ na i mee ya, ihe ga-agara gị na ụmụ gị nke ọma, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe dị mma nʼanya Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, na ihe ziri ezi ka ị ga na-eme.

Take heede, and heare all these woordes which I commaund thee, that it may goe well with thee, and with thy children after thee for euer, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God.

29 Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-ala mba niile bi nʼala ahụ ị na-aga ibuso agha nʼiyi. Ma mgbe i si nʼala ahụ chụpụ ha, ị ga-ebichi nʼala ha.

When the Lord thy God shall destroy the nations before thee, whither thou goest to possesse them, and thou shalt possesse them and dwell in their lande,

30 Mgbe ị lachara ha nʼiyi, lezie anya ka ị ghara ịma nʼọnya, site nʼịjụ ajụjụ ka ịjụpụta otu ha si efe chi ha, na-asị, “Mba ndị a o si aṅaa na-efe chi ha ofufe? Anyị ga-emekwa otu a.”

Beware, lest thou be taken in a snare after them, after that they be destroied before thee, and lest thou aske after their gods, saying, Howe did these nations serue their gods, that I may doe so likewise?

31 Efekwala Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị dịka ha si efe chi ha, nʼihi na mgbe ha na-efe chi ha ofufe, ha na-eme ihe arụ dị iche iche nke Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ asị. Ọ bụladị ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom ka ha na-esure nʼọkụ nye chi ha dị iche iche dịka aja.

Thou shalt not doe so vnto the Lord thy God: for al abomination, which the Lord hateth, haue they done vnto their gods: for they haue burned both their sonnes and their daughters with fire to their gods.

32 Lezienụ anya hụ na unu na-eme ihe niile bụ nke m nyere unu nʼiwu. Unu etinyela ihe nʼime ya maọbụ wepụkwa ihe site na ya.

Therefore whatsoeuer I command you, take heede you doe it: thou shalt put nothing thereto, nor take ought therefrom.
