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 commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in 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 unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3 Anya unu hụrụ oke nwale niile, na ihe ịrịbama ndị ahụ, na ọrụ ebube niile ahụ.
The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
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.
Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this 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.
And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
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.”
Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might 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 when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:
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 gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half 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.
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
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,
Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men 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 little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy 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,
That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, and into his oath, which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day:
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.
That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Ọgbụgba ndụ a nke ya na ịṅụ iyi so nke m na-eme ka ọ dịrị abụghị naanị nʼihi unu,
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
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 him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
16 Unu onwe unu maara otu anyị si bie nʼala Ijipt, na otu anyị si gafee mba ndị ahụ niile anyị gafere nʼụzọ.
(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
17 Unu hụrụ nʼetiti ha ihe arụ ha niile, na arụsị niile e ji osisi, na nkume na ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo kpụọ.
And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them: )
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.
Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
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 it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
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.
The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out 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 the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
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.
So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid upon 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.
And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Mba niile ga-ajụ sị, “Gịnị mere Onyenwe anyị ji mee ihe dị otu a nʼala a? Gịnị kpatara oke iwe ọkụ a?”
Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
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.
Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of 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.
For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto 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.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
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 the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is 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.
The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
