1 Mosis na ndị okenye Izrel nyere ndị Izrel iwu sị, “Debenụ iwu ndị a niile m na-enye unu taa.
Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
2 Mgbe ị gabigara osimiri Jọdan ruo nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị, bukọtaanụ nkume buru ibu nʼotu ebe, jirikwa ụrọ ọcha techie ha.
[Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
3 Depụta nʼelu nkume ndị ahụ iwu na ụkpụrụ ndị a mgbe ị batara nʼala ahụ mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru nʼime ya, nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna gị kwere nkwa inye gị.
4 Mgbe ị nọkwa nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, doo nkume ukwu ndị a nʼugwu Ebal, dịka m na-enye gị nʼiwu taa. Jirikwa ụrọ ọcha techie ha.
5 Wuokwara Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ebe ịchụ aja ya nʼebe ahụ. Ebe ịchụ aja eji naanị nkume wuo, nke ejighị ihe ngwa ọrụ igwe rụọ ihe bụla na ya.
And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
6 Jiri nkume a na-awaghị awa wuore Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, chụọkwa aja nʼelu ya nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
7 Chụọ aja udo nʼebe ahụ, rie ha, ma ṅụrịakwa ọṅụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
8 Depụta iwu ndị a nke ọma, nʼelu nkume ndị ahụ i guzobere.”
And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
9 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na ndị nchụaja, bụ ndị Livayị, gwakwara ndị Izrel niile okwu sị, “Nọọnụ jii, gị Izrel, gekwaa ntị! Taa, ị ghọọla ndị nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
10 Nʼihi ya debe iwu niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na ụkpụrụ niile ndị m nyere gị taa.”
So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”

On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
