Diuteronomi 25
1 Mgbe esemokwu dị nʼetiti ndị mmadụ, ha ga-ebuga ikpe ha nʼụlọikpe ebe ndị ikpe ga-elenye anya nʼikpe ahụ, maa onye ajọ omume ikpe, meekwa ka onye aka ya dị ọcha nwere onwe ya.
And if there should be a dispute between men, and they should come forward to judgement, and [the judges] judge, and justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:
2 Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ikpe mara kwesiri ka apịa ya ụtarị, onye ọkaikpe ga-eme ka onye ahụ dinaa ala nʼihu ya, ka apịakwa ya ọnụọgụgụ ụtarị kwesiri ajọ omume ya,
then it shall come to pass, if the unrighteous should be worthy of stripes, you shall lay him down before the judges, and they shall scourge him before them according to his iniquity.
3 ma agaghị eti ya karịa ọnụ ụtarị iri anọ. Ọ bụrụ na e tie onye ahụ ikpe mara ọnụ ụtarị karịrị nke a, ọ ga-abụ onye e leliri anya nʼihu ndị Izrel ibe ya.
And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if you should scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, your brother will be disgraced before you.
4 Mgbe ehi na-azọcha ọka, ejila ihe kechie ya ọnụ.
You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.
5 Ọ bụrụ na nwoke anwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa, nwunye ya ahụ agaghị alụ di nʼama, kama nwanne nwoke di ya ga-alụrụ ya, ha ga-edinakọkwa.
And if brethren should live together, and one of them should die, and should not have seed, the wife of the deceased shall not marry out [of the family] to a man not related: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and shall take her to himself for a wife, and shall dwell with her.
6 Nwa nwoke mbụ nwanyị ahụ ga-amụ ga-aza aha nwoke ahụ nwụrụ anwụ, ka a ghara ihichapụ aha ya nʼala Izrel.
And it shall come to pass that the child which she shall bear, shall be named by the name of the deceased, and his name shall not be blotted out of Israel.
7 Ma ọ bụrụ na nwoke ahụ ajụ ịlụ nwunye nwanne ya nwụrụ anwụ, nwanyị ahụ ga-ejekwuru ndị okenye obodo ahụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, gwa ha sị, “Nwanne di m ajụla ime ka aha nwanne ya nwoke dịgide nʼIzrel. O kweghị ịrụ ọrụ kwesiri nwanne di nʼebe m nọ.”
And if the man should not be willing to take his brother's wife, then shall the woman go up to the gate to the elders, and she shall say, My husband's brother will not raise up the name of his brother in Israel, my husband's brother has refused.
8 Ndị okenye obodo ga-akpọ ya, dụọ ya ọdụ. Ọ bụrụ na ọ nọgide jụ sị, “Achọghị m ịlụ ya,”
And the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him; and if he stand and say, I will not take her:
9 nwanyị ahụ ga-ejekwuru ya nʼihu ndị okenye, tọpụ akpụkpọụkwụ o yi nʼụkwụ aka nri ya, bụọ ya asụ nʼihu, sị ya, “Otu a ka a na-eme nwoke ọbụla jụrụ iwuli ụlọ nwanne ya nwoke.”
then his brother's wife shall come forward before the elders, and shall loose one shoe from off his foot, and shall spit in his face, and shall answer and say, Thus shall they do to the man who will not build his brother's house in Israel.
10 A ga-ama ahịrị ya nʼIzrel dịka, “Ezinaụlọ nwoke ahụ e sitere nʼụkwụ ya yipụ akpụkpọụkwụ ya.”
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has had his shoe loosed.
11 Mgbe ndị ikom abụọ na-alụ ọgụ, ọ bụrụ na nwunye otu nʼime ha abịa ịnapụta di ya site nʼaka onye na-eti ya ihe, ma nwanyị ahụ esetipụ aka jide nwoke ahụ nʼamụ ya,
And if men should strive together, a man with his brother, and the wife of one of them should advance to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smites him, and she should stretch forth her hand, and take hold of his private parts;
12 a ga-egbupụ aka nwanyị ahụ. Ebere adịghị ya.
you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not spare her.
13 Enwela ụzọ ihe ọtụtụ abụọ nʼime akpa gị, nke dị arọ, na nke na-adịghị arọ.
You shall not have in your bag various weights, a great and a small.
14 Enwela ụdị ihe ọtụtụ abụọ nʼụlọ gị, nke ukwu na nke nta.
You shall not have in your house various measures, a great and a small.
15 Ị ghaghị inwe ezi ihe ọtụtụ na nke zuru ezu. Nke a ga-eme ka ndụ gị dị ogologo, dịkwa mma nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị.
You shall have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that you may live long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
16 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị kpọrọ onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ndị a asị, bụ onye ọbụla na-aghọ aghụghọ.
For every one that does this [is] an abomination to the Lord your God, even every one that does injustice.
17 Cheta ihe ndị Amalek mere gị nʼụzọ mgbe i si nʼIjipt na-apụta.
Remember what things Amalec did to you by the way, when you went forth out of the land of Egypt:
18 Chetakwa na ha lụsoro gị ọgụ mgbe ike gwụrụ gị, mgbe ị dara mba, tigbuo ndị niile ji nwayọọ na-abịa nʼazụ. Ha atụkwaghị egwu Chineke.
how he withstood you in the way, and harassed your rear, [even] those that were weary behind you, and you did hunger and was weary; and he did not fear God.
19 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere ka i nwere onwe gị site nʼaka ndị iro gbara gị gburugburu, mgbe o mere ka i zuru ike nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị dịka ihe nketa, ime ka i nweta ya, ị ghaghị igbuchapụ ndị Amalek, ka ha bụrụ ndị a na-agaghị echetakwa ọzọ nʼokpuru eluigwe. Echefukwala ime otu a.
And it shall come to pass whenever the Lord your God shall have given you rest from all your enemies round about you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, you shall blot out the name of Amalec from under heaven, and shall not forget [to do it].
