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.

Observe the month of new corn, which is the first of the spring, that thou mayst celebrate the phase to the Lord thy God: because in this month the Lord thy God brought thee 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.

And thou shalt sacrifice the phase to the Lord thy God, of sheep, and of oxen, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there.

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.

Thou shalt not eat with it leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat without leaven, the bread of affliction, because thou camest out of Egypt in fear: that thou mayst remember the day of thy coming out of Egypt, all the days of thy 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.

No leaven shall be seen in all thy coasts for seven days, neither shall any of the flesh of that which was sacrificed the first day in the evening remain until morning.

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

Thou mayst not immolate the phase in any one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God will give thee:

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 which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there: thou shalt immolate the phase in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at which time thou camest 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.

And thou shalt dress, and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and in the morning rising up thou shalt go into thy dwellings.

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

Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord thy God, thou shalt do no work.

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

Thou shalt number unto thee seven weeks from that day, wherein thou didst put the sickle to the corn.

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.

And thou shalt celebrate the festival of weeks to the Lord thy God, a voluntary oblation of thy hand, which thou shalt offer according to the blessing of the Lord thy God.

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.

And thou shalt feast before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger and the fatherless, and the widow, who abide with you: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there:

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

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt: and thou shalt keep and do the things that are commanded.

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

Thou shalt celebrate the solemnity also of tabernacles seven days, when thou hast gathered in thy fruit of the barnfloor and of the winepress.

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.

And thou shalt make merry in thy festival time, thou, thy son, and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maidservant, the Levite also and the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow that are within thy gates.

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.

Seven days shalt thou celebrate feasts to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose: and the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, and thou shalt be in 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 a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. No one shall appear with his hands empty before the Lord:

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

But every one shall offer according to what he hath, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he shall give him.

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.

Thou shalt appoint judges and magistrates in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in all thy tribes: that they may judge the people with just judgment,

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.

And not go aside to either part. Thou shalt not accept person nor gifts: for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and change the words of the just.

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.

Thou shalt follow justly after that which is just: that thou mayst live and possess the land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee.

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

Thou shalt plant no grove, nor any tree near the altar of the Lord thy God:

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

Neither shalt thou make nor set up to thyself a statue: which things the Lord thy God hateth.
