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 Abib, when thou shalt keep a passover unto Yahweh thy God, —for in the month of Abib, did Yahweh thy God bring thee forth 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.

therefore shalt thou sacrifice a passover unto Yahweh thy God of flock or herd, —in the place which Yahweh shall choose to make a habitation for his name 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 therewith any thing leavened, seven days, shalt thou eat therewith unleavened cakes the bread of humiliation, —for in haste, camest thou forth out of the land of Egypt, that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land 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.

And there shall not be seen with thee leaven in any of thy bounds seven days, —neither shall there remain all night of the flesh which thou shalt sacrifice in the evening, on the first day, unto the morning.

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

Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover, —within any of thine own gates which Yahweh thy God is giving unto 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 Yahweh thy God shall choose to make a habitation for his name, there, shalt thou sacrifice the passover in the evening, —at the going in of the sun, at the very time thou camest forth 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.

Therefore shalt thou cook and eat it in the place which Yahweh thy God, shall choose, —and shalt turn away in the morning, and go thy way unto thy 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.

Six days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, —and, on the seventh day, shall be a closing feast, unto Yahweh 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.

Seven weeks, shalt thou count unto thee, —from the beginning of thrusting in the sickle into the standing corn, shalt thou begin to count, seven weeks.

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.

So shalt thou keep the festival of weeks unto Yahweh thy God, in the measure of the freewill offering of thy hand which thou shalt give, —as Yahweh thy God shall bless thee.

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.

So shalt thou rejoice before Yahweh thy God—thou, and thy son and thy daughter and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless and the widow who are in thy midst, —in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose, to make a habitation for his name there.

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

So shalt thou remember that a servant, thou wast in Egypt, —and shalt observe and do these statutes.

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

The festival of booths, shalt thou keep for thyself seven days, —when thou hast gathered in out of thy threshing-floor and out of thy wine-vat.

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 rejoice in thy festival, —thou, and thy son and thy daughter, and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite and the sojourner, and the fatherless and the widow, who 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 keep festival unto Yahweh thy God, in the place which Yahweh shall choose, —for Yahweh thy God, will bless thee, in all thine increase and in all the work of thy hands, —therefore shalt thou do nothing but, rejoice.

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, shall each one of thy males see the face of Yahweh thy God, in the place which he shall choose, at the festival of unleavened cakes and at the festival of weeks and at the festival of booths, —and none shall see the face of Yahweh empty-handed:

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

every man according as his hand can give, —according to the blessing of Yahweh thy God, which he hath bestowed upon thee.

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.

Judges and officers, shalt thou appoint thee in all thy gates, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, by thy tribes, —and they shall judge the people, with righteous 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.

Thou shalt not wrest judgment, thou shalt not take note of faces, —nor shalt thou accept a bribe, for the bribe, blindeth the eyes of wise men, and perverteth the words of righteous men.

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.

What is right, what is right, shalt thou pursue, —that thou mayest live and possess the land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee.

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

Thou shalt not plant thee, as a sacred stem, any tree, —near unto the altar of Yahweh thy God which thou shalt make for thyself;

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

neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar, —which Yahweh thy God, doth hate.
