Diuteronomi 13
1 Ọ bụrụ na onye amụma, maọbụ onye na-akọwa nrọ apụta nʼetiti gị kwee nkwa na ihe ịrịbama maọbụ ihe dị ebube na-aga ime,
If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives thee a sign or a wonder,
2 ọ bụrụkwa na ihe ịrịbama ahụ maọbụ ihe ebube ahụ e kwuru maka ya emezuo, emesịa onye amụma ahụ na-asị, “Ka anyị gbaso chi ndị ọzọ dị iche, ka anyị feekwa ha,” bụ chi ndị ị na-amaghị,
and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou have not known, and let us serve them,
3 egela okwu onye amụma maọbụ ọrọ nrọ ahụ ntị. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu na-ele unu ule ịmata ma unu jikwa obi unu, na uche unu hụ ya nʼanya.
thou shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams, for Jehovah your God proves you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ka unu ga-eso, naanị ya ka unu ga-atụ egwu. Debenụ iwu ya niile na-erubekwara ya isi, na-ejere ya ozi, jidesiekwa ya ike.
Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cling to him.
5 A ga-egbu onye amụma ahụ maọbụ onye ọrọ nrọ ahụ nke chọrọ iduhie unu, nʼihi na ọ chọrọ iweta nnupu isi megide Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt, onye gbapụtara unu site nʼọnọdụ ịbụ ndị ohu. Ihe ọ chọrọ ime bụ iduhie gị, ka ị ghara ibi ụdị ndụ ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị chọrọ ka i bie. Ọnwụ ya ga-eme ka i wezuga ihe ọjọọ site nʼetiti gị.
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
6 Ọ bụrụ na ezi enyi gị maọbụ nwanne gị nwoke maọbụ nwa gị nwoke maọbụ nwunye gị ị hụrụ nʼanya ejiri aghụghọ gwa gị okwu sị gị, “Bịa ka anyị gaa fee chi ndị ọzọ ofufe” (bụ chi ndị ị na-amaghị maọbụ nke nna gị ha na-amaghị,
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is as thine own soul, entices thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou, nor thy fathers,
7 chi nke ndị ala ahụ gbara unu gburugburu, ma ha bụ ndị bi gị nso ma ha bụ ndị bi nʼebe dị anya, site nʼotu nsọtụ nke ala ahụ ruo nsọtụ nke ọzọ),
of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth,
8 ekwenyekwala maọbụ ṅaa ntị nʼihe ọ na-ekwu. Enwekwala obi ebere nʼebe ọ nọ, ekpuchikwala atụmatụ ọjọọ ya niile.
thou shall not consent to him, nor hearken to him. Neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shall thou spare, neither shall thou conceal him,
9 Ị ghaghị igbu ha. Buru ụzọ setịpụ aka gị tụọ ya nkume, ka ndị ọzọ soro gị tugbuo ya.
but thou shall surely kill him. Thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10 Jiri nkume tugbuo ya, nʼihi na ọ chọrọ ime ka i site nʼiso Onyenwe anyị Chineke, wezuga onwe gị, ka ị pụọ, ma chigharịa site nʼiso ya, bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye mere ka i site nʼala Ijipt pụta, ala ebe ị nọ nʼime ya dịka ohu.
And thou shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 Izrel niile ga-anụkwa banyere ihe ọjọọ o mere, ha ga-atụkwa ihe ọjọọ dị otu a egwu, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti gị ga-achọkwa ime ihe ọjọọ dị otu ahụ.
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall no more do any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.
12 Mgbe i bi nʼobodo ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị, ọ bụrụ na akụkọ esite nʼotu obodo ndị a ruo gị ntị sị,
If thou shall hear tell concerning one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God gives thee to dwell there, saying,
13 na ụfọdụ ndị mmadụ jọgburu onwe ha eduhiela ndị obodo ha, na-asị, “Ka anyị gaa fee chi ndị ọzọ ofufe” (bụ chi ndị ị na-amaghị na mbụ),
Certain base fellows have gone out from the midst of thee, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known,
14 tupu i mee ihe ọbụla, ị ga-eburu ụzọ jụọ ase, jụpụta nke ọma, ma nyochapụta ma okwu ahụ ọ bụ eziokwu. Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ eziokwu na-achọpụtakwara nʼihe arụ dị otu a mere nʼetiti unu,
then thou shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently. And, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee,
15 ị ghaghị ibuso obodo ahụ agha jiri mma agha gbuo ndị mmadụ niile bi nʼime obodo ahụ. Ị ghaghị ibibi ya kpamkpam, ma ndị mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ ha.
thou shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it, and the cattle in it, with the edge of the sword.
16 Ihe nkwata niile i si nʼobodo ahụ kwata ka ị ga-ekpokọta nʼotu ebe, nʼama dị nʼetiti obodo ahụ. A ga-akpọkwa ha niile ọkụ, gbaakwa obodo ahụ niile ọkụ, dịka aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu. Ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, obodo ahụ ga-abụ mkpọmkpọ ebe, a gaghị ewugharịkwa ya ọzọ.
And thou shall gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street of it, and shall burn the city with fire, and all the spoil of it, every whit, to Jehovah thy God, and it shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.
17 Ọ dịghị ihe ndị ahụ e debere nye mbibi nke e kwesiri ịhụ nʼaka gị. Nke a ga-emekwa ka iwe ọkụ Onyenwe anyị dajụọ, ka o gosikwa gị obi ebere. Ọ ga-enwekwa ọmịiko nʼahụ gị, meekwa ka ị baa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ, dịka o ji ịṅụ iyi kwee nna nna gị ha na nkwa.
And nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to thy hand, that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he has sworn to thy fathers,
18 Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-eme ihe ndị a ma ọ bụrụ na ị na-erubere ya isi, na-edebezukwa iwu ya niile, nke m na-enye gị taa, ma na-eme ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
when thou shall hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
