Diuteronomi 31
1 Mgbe Mosis gwachara ụmụ Izrel okwu ndị a niile,
And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel;
2 ọ gwakwara ha okwu ọzọ sị, “Ugbu a, agbaala m otu narị afọ na iri afọ abụọ! Enwekwaghị m ike idu unu, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agwala m sị, Ị gaghị agafe osimiri Jọdan.
and he said unto them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day, I can no more go out and come in; and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
3 Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nʼonwe ya ga-ebu gị ụzọ gabiga osimiri a. Ọ ga-ebibi mba niile ndị a nʼihu gị. Ị ga-enwetakwa ala ha. Joshua ga-edu gị gabiga osimiri a, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
Jehovah thy God, he will go over before thee, he will destroy these nations from before thee, that thou mayest take possession of them: Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Jehovah hath said.
4 Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ha ihe o mere Saịhọn na Ọg, bụ eze ndị Amọrait, ndị o kpochapụrụ ha na ala ha.
And Jehovah will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.
5 Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe ndị bi nʼebe ahụ nʼaka unu, unu ga-ekpochapụkwa ha dịka m nyere unu nʼiwu.
And when Jehovah giveth them up before you, ye shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
6 Dịnụ ike! Nweenụ obi ike! Unu atụla ha egwu! Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-anọnyere unu. Ọ gaghị agbakụta unu azụ, ọ gakwaghị ahapụ unu.”
Be strong and courageous, fear them not, neither be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God, he it is that goeth with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.
7 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis kpọrọ Joshua, gwa ya okwu nʼihu ụmụ Izrel, sị ya, “Dị ike! Nwee obi ike! Nʼihi na ọ bụ gị ga-edu ndị a baa nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị ṅụrụ iyi inye nna nna ha, ị ga-emekwa ka ha keta ala a dịka ihe nketa ha.
And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for thou must go with this people into the land which Jehovah hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8 Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya ga-eburu gị ụzọ, ọ ga-anọnyekwara gị, ọ gaghị ahapụ gị maọbụ gbakụta gị azụ. Atụla egwu, adala mba.”
And Jehovah, he it is that goeth before thee: he will be with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
9 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis depụtara iwu ndị ahụ niile nʼakwụkwọ, were ya nye ndị nchụaja, ụmụ Livayị, ndị na-ebu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ. Mosis nyekwara ndị okenye Izrel akwụkwọ a e dere iwu niile.
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.
10 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis nyere ha iwu sị, “Na ngwụcha afọ asaa ọbụla, nʼafọ ahụ a na-akagbu ụgwọ niile, nʼoge a na-eme Mmemme ụlọ Ikwu,
And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, at the set time of the year of release, at the feast of tabernacles,
11 mgbe Izrel niile ga-abịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, nʼebe ahụ ọ ga-ahọpụta, ị ga-agụpụta ihe a site nʼakwụkwọ iwu a nʼihu mmadụ niile ka ha nụrụ ya.
when all Israel cometh to appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he will choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their ears.
12 Kpọkọta mmadụ niile nʼotu ebe, ndị ikom, na ndị inyom na ụmụntakịrị, na ndị ọbịa bi nʼetiti obodo unu, ka ha nụrụ, ma mụta ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu na ilezi anya ịgbaso okwu niile dị nʼiwu a.
Gather the people together, the men, and the women, and the children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Jehovah your God, and take heed to do all the words of this law;
13 Ụmụntakịrị ha, ndị na-amabeghị iwu ndị a, aghaghị ịnụ na ịmụta ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, ụbọchị ndụ unu niile nʼala ahụ unu na-agafe Jọdan inweta.”
and that their children who do not know it may hear it and learn, that they may fear Jehovah your God, as long as ye live in the land, whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.
14 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Lee, ụbọchị ọnwụ gị na-abịaru nso. Kpọrọ Joshua ka gị na ya soro bịa nʼụlọ nzute ebe m ga-anọ nye ya ọrụ ọ ga-arụ.” Mosis na Joshua sooro bịa guzo onwe ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, the days are near for thee to die; call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gosiri ha onwe ya nʼime ogidi igwe ojii nke guzochiri ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
And Jehovah appeared at the tent in the pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.
16 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Ị ga-anwụ, jekwuru nna nna gị ha. Mgbe ị nwụrụ, ndị a ga-amalite ife chi ọzọ ofufe ndị dị nʼala ahụ ha na-abanye. Ha ga-agbakụta m azụ, mebie ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na ha gbara.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land into which they enter, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, iwe m ga-adị ọkụ megide ha, aga m agbakụta ha azụ, zoo ihu m nʼebe ha nọ. A ga-alakwa ha nʼiyi. Ọdachi na ahụhụ dị iche iche ga-abịakwasị ha, nke ga-eme ka ha sị, ‘Chineke anyị anọkwaghị nʼetiti anyị, ọ bụ ya mere ọdachi ndị a ji bịakwasị anyị.’
And my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, and they will say in that day, Have not these evils befallen me because my God is not in my midst?
18 Aga m echepụ ihu m site nʼebe ha nọ nʼụbọchị ahụ, nʼihi ajọ omume ha nke ife chi ọzọ ofufe.
And I will entirely hide my face in that day for all the evils that they have wrought, because they turned unto other gods.
19 “Ugbu a, depụtaranụ onwe unu abụ a nʼakwụkwọ, kuziekwara ya ụmụ Izrel, ka ọ bụrụ ihe akaebe m megide ha.
And now, write ye this song, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20 Mgbe m mere ka ha bata nʼala ahụ m kwere nna nna ha na nkwa, ala ahụ mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-erugharị nʼime ya, mgbe ha rijukwara afọ, baakwa ụba, ha ga-ebido ife chi ọzọ ofufe, jụ m, ma mebikwaa ọgbụgba ndụ m.
For I shall bring them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, which floweth with milk and honey; and they will eat and fill themselves, and wax fat, and will turn unto other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
21 Ma mgbe ọtụtụ ihe ọdachi na ahụhụ ga-abịakwasị ha, abụ a ga-eme ka ha cheta ihe mere nsogbu ha niile ji bịakwasị ha, nʼihi na abụ a ga-adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ. Amaara m nke ọma ugbu a, ọ bụladị tupu ha abanye nʼala ahụ m kwere nkwa inye ha site nʼịṅụ iyi, ụdị mmadụ ha bụ.”
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; for I know their imagination which they are forming already this day, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn [unto them].
22 Ya mere, nʼụbọchị ahụ, Mosis dere abụ ahụ, kuziekwara ya ụmụ Izrel.
And Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
23 Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere Joshua nwa Nun iwu sị ya, “Dị ike, nwee obi ike, ị ghaghị ịkpọbata ụmụ Izrel nʼala ahụ m sitere nʼịṅụ iyi kwee ha na nkwa. Mụ onwe m ga-anọnyere gị.”
And [Jehovah] commanded Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and courageous; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have sworn unto them; and I will be with thee.
24 Mgbe Mosis dechara okwu niile nke iwu ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, site na mbido ruo nʼọgwụgwụ,
And it came to pass, when Moses had ended writing the words of this law in a book, until their conclusion,
25 o nyere ndị Livayị na-ebu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị iwu sị ha,
that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,
26 “Werenụ Akwụkwọ Iwu a tinye ya nʼakụkụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ịgba ama megide unu.
Take this book of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee;
27 Nʼihi na amaara m na unu bụ ndị nnupu isi, na ndị isiike. Lee, ọ bụladị taa m nọ ndụ nʼetiti unu, unu na-enupu isi nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ, unu ga-esi aṅaa ghara inupu isi mgbe m nwụrụ?
for I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck. Lo, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah; and how much more after my death!
28 Kpọkọtaanụ ndị okenye unu niile, na ndị ọchịchị agbụrụ unu niile, ka m kwupụta okwu ndị a mgbe ha na-anụ ya. Ka m kpọkuokwa eluigwe na ụwa ka ha gbaa ama megide ha.
Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and take heaven and earth to witness against them.
29 Nʼihi na amaara m na mgbe m nwụrụ, unu ga-aghọ ndị rụrụ arụ nke ukwuu, unu ga-ewezuga onwe unu site nʼebe iwu ndị ahụ m nyere unu dị. Amakwaara m na nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa, ihe ọjọọ ga-adakwasị unu, nʼihi ihe ọjọọ niile unu mere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nke unu ji kpasuo ya iwe site nʼihe ndị ahụ unu ji aka unu kpụọ.”
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and will turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and mischief will befall you at the end of days; because ye do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
30 Ya mere, Mosis gụpụtara okwu niile dị nʼabụ a site na mbido ruo ọgwụgwụ na ntị nzukọ ndị Izrel niile.
And Moses spoke in the ears of the whole congregation of Israel the words of this song, until their conclusion.
