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 a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, 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 comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s 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.
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you, to know whether you love Yahweh 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 walk after Yahweh your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You 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.
That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall remove the evil from among 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,
If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods”—which you have not known, you, nor your 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 who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, 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.
you shall not consent to him nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him;
9 Ị ghaghị igbu ha. Buru ụzọ setịpụ aka gị tụọ ya nkume, ka ndị ọzọ soro gị tugbuo ya.
but you shall surely kill him. Your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands 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.
You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Yahweh 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.
All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among 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,
If you hear about one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, that
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 wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods,” which you 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 you shall inquire, investigate, and ask diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination was done among 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 surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, 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.
You shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, with all of its plunder, to Yahweh your God. 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.
Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand, that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy, and have compassion on you and multiply you, as he has sworn 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.
when you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep all his commandments which I command you today, to do that which is right in Yahweh your God’s eyes.
