Diuteronomi 12

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 statutes and the ordinances, which ye shall observe to do in the land which the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath given thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon 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.

Ye shall surely destroy all the places, wherein the nations that ye are to dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every leafy 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.

And ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods; and ye shall destroy their name 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 unto the 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 unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put His name there, even unto His habitation shall ye seek, 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 thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;

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 eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein 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 do after all that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own 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 as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth 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 go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God causeth you to inherit, and He giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;

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.

then it shall come to pass that the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto 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 rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath no portion nor inheritance with you.

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

Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every 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 the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command 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 mayest kill and eat flesh within all thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which He hath given thee; the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart.

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

Only ye shall not eat the blood; thou shalt pour it out upon 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 mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill-offerings, nor the offering of thy hand;

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 eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates; and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.

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

Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon thy land.

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 He hath promised thee, and thou shalt say: 'I will eat flesh', because thy soul desireth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, after all the desire of thy soul.

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 shall choose to put His name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat within thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul.

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.

Howbeit as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat thereof; the unclean and the clean may eat thereof alike.

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

Only be stedfast in not eating the blood; for the blood is the life; and thou shalt not eat the life with the flesh.

24 Erila ọbara, wụsa ya nʼala dịka mmiri.

Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it out upon 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 do that which is right in the eyes 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.

Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose;

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 offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out against the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat 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.

Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the eyes 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 cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest in to dispossess them, and thou dispossessest them, and dwellest in their land;

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.”

take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying: 'How used these nations to serve their gods? even so will I do 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 do so unto the LORD thy God; for every abomination to the LORD, which He hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the 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.

All this word which I command you, that shall ye observe to do; thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
