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, besides the covenant which he had 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 yourselves have seen all that the Lord hath done 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 proofs which thy eyes have seen, those great signs, and 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 gave you not a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until 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 did not fall worn out from off you, and thy shoe did not fall worn out from off 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.”
Bread have ye not eaten, and wine or strong drink have ye not drunk; in order that ye might understand 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, Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and 'Og the king of Bashan went 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 the Menassites.
9 Nʼihi ya, lezie anya idebe ụkpụrụ niile nke ọgbụgba ndụ a, ka ihe niile unu na-eme gaara unu nke ọma.
Keep ye 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 are standing this day, all of you, before the Lord your God; your heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, 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 the midst of 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 shouldst enter into the covenant of the Lord thy God, and into his oath of denunciation, 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.
In order to raise thee up today unto himself for a people, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath spoken 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,
And not with you alone 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 is standing here with us this day before the Lord our God, and 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 dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we passed through the nations through which ye have passed;
17 Unu hụrụ nʼetiti ha ihe arụ ha niile, na arụsị niile e ji osisi, na nkume na ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo kpụọ.
And ye saw their abominations, and their idols, of wood and stone, silver and gold, which they had with 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.
So that there may not be among you a man, or a woman, or a family, or a tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go to serve the gods of these nations; that there may not be among you a root that beareth abundantly poison 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 might come to pass, when he heareth the words of this denunciation, that he would bless himself in his heart, saying, There will be peace unto me, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart; in order that the indulgence of the passions may appease the thirst [for them]:
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 pardon him; but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and there shall rest upon him all the curse that is written in this book; and the Lord will blot out his name from under the heavens.
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 will single him out unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the denunciations of the covenant which is 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.
And the latest generation, your children that will rise up after you, and the stranger that will come from a far land, will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and its sufferings with which the Lord hath smitten 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.
[That] the whole soil thereof is brimstone, and salt, and a burning waste, which is not sown, and beareth not, and in which no kind of grass springeth up, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboyim, 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 the nations will say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? whence 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 shall men say, Because they had forsaken the covenant of the Lord, the 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.
And they went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods which they knew not, and which he had not assigned 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 the entire curse that is 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 plucked them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and he 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 publicly known belong unto us and to our children for ever, to do all the words of this law.
