Diuteronomi 16

1 Debe ọnwa Abib iche maka ime Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼọnwa Abib ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere ka i si nʼala Ijipt pụta nʼabalị.

Take note of the month of Abib and keep the Passover to the Lord your God: for in the month of Abib the Lord your God took you out of Egypt by night.

2 Ị ga-eji anụ si nʼigwe atụrụ na ehi gị chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị aja ngabiga nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-ahọpụta dịka ebe obibi nye aha ya.

The Passover offering, from your flock or your herd, is to be given to the Lord your God in the place marked out by him as the resting-place of his name.

3 Erila ya na achịcha e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee, kama ụbọchị asaa ka ị ga-eri achịcha na-ekoghị eko, ya bụ, achịcha ahụhụ, iji cheta na i si nʼala Ijipt pụta ngwangwa. Nke a ga-eme ka i nwee ike na-echeta mgbe i sitere nʼala Ijipt pụta, ụbọchị niile nke ndụ.

Take no leavened bread with it; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread, that is, the bread of sorrow; for you came out of the land of Egypt quickly: so the memory of that day, when you came out of the land of Egypt, will be with you all your life.

4 Ka ihe ọbụla na-eko achịcha ghara ịbata nʼezinaụlọ gị abalị asaa ndị ahụ. Unu ahapụkwala anụ ọbụla unu chụrụ nʼaja nʼoge uhuruchi nke ụbọchị mbụ, nọọ ruo ụtụtụ.

For seven days let no leaven be used through all your land; and nothing of the flesh which is put to death in the evening of the first day is to be kept through the night till morning.

5 Ị gaghị achụ aja ngabiga nʼobodo ọbụla Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị,

The Passover offering is not to be put to death in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you:

6 karịakwa nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị họpụtara dịka ebe obibi nye ya ka i ga-anọ chụọ ya. Nʼebe ahụ ka ị ga-achụ aja ngabiga gị nʼoge uhuruchi, mgbe anwụ dachara, nʼoge mgbe dịka oge ụbọchị ahụ i sitere nʼIjipt pụta.

But in the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place of his name, there you are to put the Passover to death in the evening, at sundown, at that time of the year when you came out of Egypt.

7 Ị ga-ahụ ya nʼọkụ riekwa ya nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ga-ahọpụta. Nʼụtụtụ, ị ga-alaghachikwa nʼụlọ ikwu gị.

It is to be cooked and taken as food in the place marked out by the Lord: and in the morning you are to go back to your tents.

8 Ụbọchị isii ka ị ga-eri achịcha na-ekoghị eko, nʼụbọchị nke asaa, nweenụ mkpọkọta nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, arụkwala ọrụ ọbụla.

For six days let your food be unleavened bread; and on the seventh day there is to be a holy meeting to the Lord your God; no work is to be done.

9 Gụpụta izu asaa site na mgbe ị malitere itinye mma iwe ihe ubi nʼukwu ọka guzoro eguzo nʼubi gị.

Let seven weeks be numbered from the first day when the grain is cut.

10 Meenụ Mmemme Izu Ụka asaa nye Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị, site na inye onyinye afọ ofufu, nʼusoro ọtụtụ ngọzị Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị ji gọzie gị.

Then keep the feast of weeks to the Lord your God, with an offering freely given to him from the wealth he has given you:

11 Ọ bụ oge ịṅụrị ọṅụ nye gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ndị inyom, ndị ohu gị nwoke na nwanyị, ndị Livayị bi nʼobodo gị, ndị ọbịa, ndị na-enweghị nna na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ bi nʼetiti gị. Meenụ nke a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, nʼebe ahụ ọ họpụtara dịka ebe obibi nye aha ya.

Then you are to be glad before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is with you, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you, in the place marked out by the Lord your God as a resting-place for his name.

12 Cheta na ị bụrị ohu nʼala Ijipt, nʼihi nke a, unu echefula iwu ndị a.

And you will keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt: and you will take care to keep all these laws.

13 Mmenụ mmemme ụlọ Ikwu. Unu aghaghị ime ya ụbọchị asaa mgbe unu wechara ihe ubi, ya bụ, mgbe unu chịkọtachara ọka site nʼebe ịzọcha ọka, nakwa ebe ịzọcha mmanya unu niile

You are to keep the feast of tents for seven days after you have got in all your grain and made your wine:

14 Ọ bụ oge ịṅụrị ọṅụ, nye gị onwe gị, ụmụ ndị ikom na ndị inyom gị, ndị odibo nwoke na nwanyị unu niile, ndị Livayị, ndị ọbịa, ụmụ mgbei na ụmụ nwanyị niile di ha nwụrụ anwụ ndị bi nʼobodo gị niile.

You are to keep the feast with joy, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you.

15 A ga-eme mmemme a nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ụbọchị asaa nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya họpụtara. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agọzi ihe ubi gị niile, gọziekwa akaọrụ gị niile, ime ka ọṅụ gị zuo oke.

Keep the feast to the Lord your God for seven days, in the place marked out by the Lord: because the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all the produce of your land and all the work of your hands, and you will have nothing but joy.

16 Ugboro atọ nʼafọ ka ndị ikom unu niile aghaghị ịbịa chee onwe ha nʼihu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị unu, nʼebe ọ ga-ahọpụta: nʼoge mmemme ndị a: Mmemme Achịcha na-ekoghị eko, Mmemme Izu Ụka asaa na Mmemme Ụlọ Ikwu. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-agba aka efu bịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord your God in the place named by him; at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents: and they are not to come before the Lord with nothing in their hands;

17 Onye ọbụla ga-eweta onyinye dịka o nwere ike na dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị sị gọzie ya.

Every man is to give as he is able, in the measure of the blessing which the Lord your God has given you.

18 Ị ga-ahọpụta ndị ikpe, na ndịisi ozi nʼebo niile, na nʼobodo ọbụla Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị. Ha ga-eme ka ezi ikpe dịrị ndị mmadụ niile.

You are to make judges and overseers in all your towns which the Lord your God gives you, for every tribe: and they are to be upright men, judging the people in righteousness.

19 Ekpekwala ikpe aghụghọ, maọbụ kpee ikpe ile mmadụ anya nʼihu. Erikwala ngarị, nʼihi na iri ngarị na-eme ka anya onye amamihe kpuo ìsì, meekwa ka okwu onye aka ya dị ọcha gbagọọ agbagọ.

You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.

20 Gbasoo ikpe ziri ezi, mee ka ikpe ziri ezi dịgide, ka ị dịrị ndụ, nweta ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị.

Let righteousness be your guide, so that you may have life, and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

21 Amanyela oyiyi osisi chi Ashera ọbụla gị nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja ị wuru nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.

Let no holy tree of any sort be planted by the altar of the Lord your God which you will make.

22 Eguzokwala ogidi nkume ọbụla nʼihi na ha bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị kpọrọ asị.

You are not to put up stone pillars, for they are hated by the Lord your God.
