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.

And these [are] the ordinances and the judgments, which you shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you for an inheritance, all the days which you live upon the land.

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.

You shall utterly destroy all the places in which they served their gods, whose [land] you inherit, on the high mountains and on the hills, and under the thick 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 you shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their groves, and you shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods, and you shall abolish their name out of that place.

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

You shall not do so to 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 in the place which the Lord your God shall choose in one of your cities to name his name there, and to be called upon, you shall even seek [him] out and go there.

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 you shall carry there your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your first fruits, and your vowed-offerings, and your free will offerings, and your offerings of thanksgiving, the firstborn of your herds, and of your flocks.

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 you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all the things on which you shall lay your hand, you and your houses, as the Lord your God has blessed you.

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,

You shall not do altogether as we do here today, every man that which is pleasing in his own sight.

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 hitherto you have not arrived at the rest and the inheritance, which the Lord our God gives you.

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.

And you shall go over Jordan, and shall dwell in the land, which the Lord our God takes as an inheritance for you; and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and you shall dwell safely.

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.

And there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose for his name to be called there, there shall you bring all things that I order you today; your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the first fruits of your hands, and every choice gift of yours, whatever you shall vow to the Lord your God.

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 you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants and your maidservants, and the Levite that is at your gates; because he has no portion or inheritance with you.

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

Take heed to yourself that you offer not your whole burnt offerings in any place which you shall see;

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.

save in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, in one of your tribes, there shall you offer your whole burnt offerings, and there shall you do all things whatever I charge you this day.

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.

But you shall kill according to all your desire, and shall eat flesh according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which he has given you in every city; the unclean that is within you and the clean shall eat it on equal terms, as the doe or the stag.

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

Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the ground 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.

You shall not be able to eat in your cities the tithe of your corn, and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, and all [your] vows as many as you shall have vowed, and your thank-offerings, and the first fruits of your 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 before the Lord your God you shall eat it, in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for himself, you, and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant, and your maidservant, and the stranger that is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, on whatever you shall lay your hand.

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

Take heed to yourself that you do not desert the Levite all the time that you live upon 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.

And if the Lord your God shall enlarge your borders, as he said to you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh; if your soul should desire to eat flesh, you shall eat flesh according to all the desire of your 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.

And if the place be far from you, which the Lord your God shall choose for himself, that his name be called upon it, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock which God shall have given you, even as I commanded you, and you shall eat in your cities according to the desire of your 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.

As the doe and the stag are eaten, so shall you eat it; the unclean in you and the clean shall eat it in like manner.

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

Take diligent heed that you eat no blood, for blood [is] the life of it; the life shall not be eaten with the flesh.

24 Erila ọbara, wụsa ya nʼala dịka mmiri.

You shall not eat [it]; you shall pour it out on the ground 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.

You shall not eat it, that it may be well with you and with your sons after you, if you shall do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.

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 you shall take your holy things, if you have any, and your vowed-offerings, and come to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name named upon it.

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 you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, you shall offer the flesh upon the altar of the Lord your God; but the blood of your sacrifices you shall pour out at the foot of the altar of the Lord your God, but the flesh you shall eat.

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.

Beware and listen, and you shall do all the commands which I charge you, that it may be well with you and with your sons for ever, if you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your 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.

And if the Lord your God shall utterly destroy the nations, to whom you go in there to inherit their land, from before you, and you shall inherit it, and dwell 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 yourself that you seek not to follow them after they are destroyed before you, saying, How do these nations act towards their gods? I will 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.

You shall not do so to your God; for they have sacrificed to their gods the abominations of the Lord which he hates, for they burn their sons and their daughters in 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.

Every word that I command you this day, it shall you observe to do: you shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.
