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 judgments which ye observe to do in the land which Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath given to thee to possess it, all the days that ye are living on the ground:

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 do utterly destroy all the places where the nations which ye are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the heights, and under every green 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 have broken down their altars, and shivered their standing pillars, and their shrines ye burn with fire, and graven images of their gods ye cut down, and have destroyed their name out of that place.

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

'Ye do not do so to Jehovah 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 Jehovah your God doth choose out of all your tribes to put His name there, to His tabernacle ye seek, and thou hast entered thither,

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 hast brought in thither your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your free-will 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 ye have eaten there before Jehovah your God, and have rejoiced in every putting forth of your hand, ye and your households, with which Jehovah 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 do not do according to all that we are doing here to-day, each anything that 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 have not come in hitherto unto the rest, and unto the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God is giving to 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.

and ye have passed over the Jordan, and have dwelt in the land which Jehovah your God is causing you to inherit, and He hath given rest to you from all your enemies round about, and ye have dwelt confidently:

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 it hath been, the place on which Jehovah your God doth fix to cause His name to tabernacle there, thither ye bring in all that which I am commanding you, your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all the choice of your vows which ye vow to Jehovah;

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 have rejoiced before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your handmaids, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, for he hath no part and inheritance with you.

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

'Take heed to thee, lest thou cause thy burnt-offerings to ascend in any place which 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.

except in the place which Jehovah doth choose in one of thy tribes, there thou dost cause thy burnt-offerings to ascend, and there thou dost do all that which I am commanding 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.

'Only, with all the desire of thy soul thou dost sacrifice, and hast eaten flesh according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which He hath given to thee, in all thy gates; the unclean and the clean do eat it, as of the roe, 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, the blood ye do not eat — on the earth thou dost pour it 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 art not able to eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, and of thy new wine, and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, and any of thy vows which thou vowest, and thy free-will offerings, and heave-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 before Jehovah thy God thou dost eat it, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth fix on, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within thy gates, and thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God in every putting forth of thy 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 thee lest thou forsake the Levite all thy days on thy ground.

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 Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath spoken to thee, and thou hast said, Let me eat flesh — for thy soul desireth to eat flesh — of all the desire of thy soul thou dost eat flesh.

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.

'When the place is far from thee which Jehovah thy God doth choose to put His name there, then thou hast sacrificed of thy herd and of thy flock which Jehovah hath given to thee, as I have commanded thee, and hast eaten within thy gates, of 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.

only, as the roe and the hart is eaten, so dost thou eat it; the unclean and the clean doth alike eat it.

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

'Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood [is] the life, and thou dost not eat the life with the flesh;

24 Erila ọbara, wụsa ya nʼala dịka mmiri.

thou dost not eat it, on the earth thou dost pour it 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 dost not eat it, in order that it may be well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, when thou dost that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah.

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 dost take up, and hast gone in unto the place which Jehovah doth 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 hast made thy burnt-offerings — the flesh and the blood — on the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices is poured out by the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh thou dost 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.

Observe, and thou hast obeyed all these words which I am commanding thee, in order that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee — to the age, when thou dost that which [is] good and right in the eyes of Jehovah 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 Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations — whither thou art going in to possess them — from thy presence, and thou hast possessed them, and hast dwelt 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 thee, lest thou be snared after them, after their being destroyed out of thy presence, and lest thou enquire about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods, and I do so — even I?

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 dost not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every abomination of Jehovah which He is hating they have done to their gods, for even their sons and their daughters they burn 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.

The whole thing which I am commanding you — it ye observe to do; thou dost not add unto it, nor diminish from it.
