Diuteronomi 29
1 Ndị a bụ okwu nke ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu ka ya na ụmụ Izrel gbaa nʼala Moab na-agbanweghị ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ ya na ha gbara nʼugwu Horeb.
These are the words of the covenant which the Lord instructed Moses to form with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, beside that covenant which he struck with them at Horeb.
2 Mosis kpọkọtara ụmụ Izrel niile gwa ha okwu sị, Unu ji anya unu hụ ihe Onyenwe anyị mere nʼIjipt megide Fero, na ndị ozi ya, na ala ya niile.
And Moses called all of Israel, and he said to them: “You have seen all the things that the Lord has done in your sight in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to his entire land:
3 Anya unu hụrụ oke nwale niile, na ihe ịrịbama ndị ahụ, na ọrụ ebube niile ahụ.
the great trials, which your eyes have seen, those immense signs and wonders.
4 Ma tutu ruo taa, Onyenwe anyị enyebeghị unu obi nwere nghọta, na anya na-ahụ ụzọ, maọbụ ntị na-anụ ihe, nke ga-enyere unu aka ịṅomi ihe ndị a niile.
But the Lord has not given you an understanding heart, and seeing eyes, and ears that are able to hear, even to this present day.
5 Ma Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Nʼime iri afọ anọ ndị ahụ nke m duuru unu nʼime ọzara, uwe unu emeghị ochie, akpụkpọụkwụ unu akapụghị nʼụkwụ unu.
He led you for forty years through the desert. Your garments have not been worn out, nor have the shoes on your feet been consumed by age.
6 Ọ dịghị achịcha unu riri, ọ dịkwaghị mmanya maọbụ ihe ọṅụṅụ na-aba nʼanya unu ṅụrụ. E mere m ihe ndị a ime ka unu mata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.”
You did not eat bread, nor did you drink wine or liquor, so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.
7 Mgbe unu rutere ebe a, Saịhọn, eze ndị Heshbọn, na Ọg, eze ndị Bashan, pụtara ibuso anyị agha, ma anyị lụgburu ha.
And you arrived at this place. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, went out to meet us in battle. And we struck them down.
8 Anyị weere ala ha nye agbụrụ Ruben, na Gad, na otu ọkara ebo Manase, dịka ihe nketa ha.
And we took their land and delivered it as a possession to Ruben and to Gad, and to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 Nʼihi ya, lezie anya idebe ụkpụrụ niile nke ọgbụgba ndụ a, ka ihe niile unu na-eme gaara unu nke ọma.
Therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and fulfill them, so that you may understand all that you are doing.
10 Unu niile, ndị ndu unu, na ndịisi unu, na okenye, na ndịisi ọchịchị, na ndị ikom niile nke Izrel, unu ndị guzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke taa,
Today, you all stand in the sight of the Lord your God: your leaders, and tribes, and those greater by birth, and teachers, all the people of Israel,
11 na ụmụntakịrị unu, na ndị nwunye unu, na ndị ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu, ndị na-egburu unu nkụ, na ndị na-echukwara unu mmiri.
your children and wives, and the new arrival who dwells with you in the camp, aside from those who cut wood, and those who bring water,
12 Unu guzo nʼebe a taa ka unu na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gbaa ndụ. Unu guzokwa, maka ọgbụgba ndụ a unu na Onyenwe anyị na-agba taa, nke e ji ịṅụ iyi mesie ike,
so that you may cross into the covenant of the Lord your God, and into the oath which the Lord your God strikes with you today.
13 ime ka ọ pụta ìhè nye unu taa na unu bụ ndị nke ya, imekwa ka unu mata na ọ bụ Chineke unu, dịka o kwere nna nna unu ha, Ebraham, na Aịzik, na Jekọb na nkwa.
So shall he raise you up as a people to himself, and so shall he be your God, just as he has spoken to you, and just as he swore to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 Ọgbụgba ndụ a nke ya na ịṅụ iyi so nke m na-eme ka ọ dịrị abụghị naanị nʼihi unu,
And I am not forming this covenant and confirm these oaths with you alone,
15 ndị soro anyị guzo nʼebe a taa, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, kama ọ bụkwa nʼihi ndị ahụ na-anọghị nʼebe a.
but with all those who are present as well as those who are absent.
16 Unu onwe unu maara otu anyị si bie nʼala Ijipt, na otu anyị si gafee mba ndị ahụ niile anyị gafere nʼụzọ.
For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of nations. And when passing through them,
17 Unu hụrụ nʼetiti ha ihe arụ ha niile, na arụsị niile e ji osisi, na nkume na ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo kpụọ.
you saw their abominations and filth, that is, their idols of wood and of stone, of silver and of gold, which they worshipped,
18 Lezienụ anya ka unu hụ na obi onye ọbụla nʼime unu, nwoke maọbụ nwanyị, agbụrụ maọbụ ebo ọbụla nʼIzrel, esighị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị nọ pụọ, bido chewe echiche ife chi ndị mba ọzọ ndị a niile. Lezienụ anya hụ na mgbọrọgwụ na-ewepụta nsi na-elu ilu dị otu a adịghị nʼetiti unu.
so that there would not be among you man or woman, family or tribe, whose heart has been turned away this day from the Lord our God, so as to go and serve the gods of those nations. For then there would be among you a root springing forth gall and bitterness.
19 Mgbe onye dị otu a nụrụ okwu ịṅụ iyi a, na ha ga-agọzi onwe ha, na-eche, “Ihe ga-agara m nke ọma, ọ bụ ezie na m nọgidere na-agbaso ụzọ isiike m.” Ha ga-eweta mbibi nye ala a gbara mmiri nke ọma nyekwa ala ahụ kpọrọ nkụ.
And if he were to hear the words of this oath, he would bless himself in his own heart saying: ‘There will be peace for me, and I will walk in the depravity of my heart.’ And so, the one who is inebriated would consume the one who is thirsty.
20 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị agbaghara onye dị otu a! Iwe ya, na ekworo ya, ga-adị ọkụ megide nwoke ahụ. Ọbụbụ ọnụ niile e dere nʼime akwụkwọ a ga-abịakwasịkwa ya. Onyenwe anyị ga-ehichapụkwa aha ya, ka a ghara ịnụkwa ihe banyere ya nʼụwa.
But the Lord would not ignore him. Instead, at that time, his fury and zealousness would be very greatly enflamed against that man, and all the curses which have been written in this volume would settle upon him. And the Lord would abolish his name from under heaven,
21 Onyenwe anyị ga-akpa oke nʼetiti ya na ebo niile nke Izrel, maka iwetara ya mbibi, dị ka ọbụbụ ọnụ niile nke ọgbụgba ndụ nke e dere nʼime Akwụkwọ Iwu a si dị.
and consume him unto perdition out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses which are contained in the book of this law and in the covenant.
22 Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ unu ndị ga-eso unu nʼọgbọ ndị dị nʼihu, na ndị ọbịa si ebe dị anya bịa, ga-ahụ oke ihe otiti ọjọọ a bịakwasịrị ala a, ya na ọrịa niile Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ bịakwasị ya.
And the subsequent generation would speak out, along with the sons who will be born afterward. And the sojourners, who will arrive from far away, will see the plagues of that land and the infirmities with which the Lord will have afflicted it,
23 Ala ahụ niile ga-abụ ala nnu, nke ọkụ repịara, ala nke a na-adịghị akụ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya, ala na-adịghị amị mkpụrụ, nke ahịhịa na-adịghị epu nʼelu ya. Ala dịka ala Sọdọm na Gọmọra, na Adma, na Zeboiim, nke Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼoke iwe ya mebie.
having burned it with sulphur and molten salt, so that it can no longer be sown. And certainly no greenery would spring up, as in the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overturned with his wrath and fury.
24 Mba niile ga-ajụ sị, “Gịnị mere Onyenwe anyị ji mee ihe dị otu a nʼala a? Gịnị kpatara oke iwe ọkụ a?”
And so, all the nations would say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land? What is this immense wrath of his fury?’
25 Ọsịsa ya ga-abụ, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na ndị a hapụrụ idebe ọgbụgba ndụ ha na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke nna nna ha gbara, ọgbụgba ndụ ha na ya gbara mgbe o mere ka ha site nʼIjipt pụta.
And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, which he formed with their fathers, when he led them away from the land of Egypt.
26 Nʼihi na ha fere chi ndị ọzọ ofufe, kpọọkwa isiala nye ha, bụ chi ndị nke ha na-amaghị, chi ndị nke ọ na-enyeghị ha.
And they have served foreign gods, and adored them, though they did not know them, and though they had not been allotted to them.
27 Ọ bụ ya mere iwe Onyenwe anyị ji dị ọkụ megide ala a, meekwa ka o zidata nʼisi ha ọbụbụ ọnụ niile e dere nʼime akwụkwọ a.
For this reason, the fury of the Lord was enraged against this land, so as to lead over it all the curses which have been written in this volume.
28 Nʼoke iwe ya na ọnụma ya ka Onyenwe anyị ji hopu ha site nʼala ha, werekwa ha tụba nʼala ọzọ, dịka ọ dị ugbu a.”
And he has cast them out of their own land, with anger and fury, and with a very great indignation, and he has thrown them into a strange land, just as has been proven this day.’
29 Ihe niile e zoro ezo dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, ma ihe ndị ahụ niile e kpughere ekpughe dịịrị anyị, dịkwara ụmụ anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ka anyị nwee ike ịgbaso na imezu okwu niile nke iwu a.
These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law.”
