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,

And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you 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 come to pass which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you know not;

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.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God tries you, to know whether you love 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.

You shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and you shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves 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 a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in: so shall you abolish the evil from amongst you.

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,

And if your brother by your father or mother, or your son, or daughter, or your wife in your bosom, or friend who is equal to your own soul, entreat you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known,

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 nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to the other;

8 ekwenyekwala maọbụ ṅaa ntị nʼihe ọ na-ekwu. Enwekwala obi ebere nʼebe ọ nọ, ekpuchikwala atụmatụ ọjọọ ya niile.

you shall not consent to him, neither shall you listen to him; and your eye shall not spare him, you shall feel no regret for him, neither shall you at all protect him:

9 Ị ghaghị igbu ha. Buru ụzọ setịpụ aka gị tụọ ya nkume, ka ndị ọzọ soro gị tugbuo ya.

you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him amongst the first to kill him, and the hands of all the people at the last.

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 they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God who brought you 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 not again do according to this evil thing amongst you.

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,

And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell therein, you shall hear men 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),

Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you knew not,

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 you shall enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place amongst you,

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.

you shall utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; you shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.

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 all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, 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 there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as he sware to your 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.

if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge you this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
