Diuteronomi 31
1 Mgbe Mosis gwachara ụmụ Izrel okwu ndị a niile,
And Moses finished speaking all these words to all the children of 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 said to them, I am this day a hundred and twenty years [old]; I shall not be able any longer to come in or go out; and the Lord said to me, You shall 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.
The Lord your God who goes before you, he shall destroy these nations before you, and you shall inherit them: and [it shall be] Joshua that goes before your face, as the Lord has spoken.
4 Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ha ihe o mere Saịhọn na Ọg, bụ eze ndị Amọrait, ndị o kpochapụrụ ha na ala ha.
And the Lord your God shall do to them as he did to Seon and Og the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, and to their land, as he destroyed them.
5 Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe ndị bi nʼebe ahụ nʼaka unu, unu ga-ekpochapụkwa ha dịka m nyere unu nʼiwu.
And the Lord has delivered them to you; and you shall do to them, as I charged 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 courageous and strong, fear not, neither be cowardly neither be afraid before them; for [it is] the Lord your God that advances with you in the midst of you, neither will he by any means forsake you, nor desert you.
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 Joshua, and said to him before all Israel, Be courageous and strong; for you shall go in before this people into the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and you shall give it to them for an inheritance.
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 the Lord that goes with you shall not forsake you nor abandon you; fear not, neither be afraid.
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 the words of this law in a book, and gave it to the priests the sons of Levi who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to the elders of the sons 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 charged them in that day, saying, After seven years, in the time of the year of release, in 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 come together to appear before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord shall choose, you shall 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.
having assembled the people, the men, and the women, and the children, and the stranger that is in your cities, that they may hear, and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God; and they shall listen 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 their sons who have not known shall hear, and shall learn to fear the Lord your God all the days that they live upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit 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 the Lord said to Moses, Behold, the days of your death are at hand; call Joshua, and stand you by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and I will give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went to the tabernacle of testimony, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gosiri ha onwe ya nʼime ogidi igwe ojii nke guzochiri ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony; and the pillar of the cloud stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.
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 the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will arise and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land, into which they are entering: and they will forsake me, and break my covenant, which I 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 I will be very angry with them in that day, and I will leave them and turn my face away from them, and they shall be devoured; and many evils and afflictions shall come upon them; and they shall say in that day, Because the Lord my God is not with me, these evils have come upon me.
18 Aga m echepụ ihu m site nʼebe ha nọ nʼụbọchị ahụ, nʼihi ajọ omume ha nke ife chi ọzọ ofufe.
And I will surely turn away my face from them in that day, because of all their evil doings which they have done, because they turned aside after strange 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 the words of this song, and teach it to the children of Israel, and you shall put it into their mouth, that this song may witness for me among the children of Israel to their face.
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 will bring them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers, to give to them a land flowing with milk and honey: and they shall eat and be filled and satisfy [themselves]; then will they turn aside after other gods, and serve them, and they will provoke 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 this song shall stand up to witness against them; for they shall not forget it out of their mouth, or out of the mouth of their seed; for I know their wickedness, what they are doing here this day, before I have brought them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers.
22 Ya mere, nʼụbọchị ahụ, Mosis dere abụ ahụ, kuziekwara ya ụmụ Izrel.
And Moses wrote this song in that 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 he charged Joshua, and said, Be courageous and strong, for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land, which the Lord sware to them, and he shall be with you.
24 Mgbe Mosis dechara okwu niile nke iwu ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, site na mbido ruo nʼọgwụgwụ,
And when Moses finished writing all the words of this law in a book, even to the end,
25 o nyere ndị Livayị na-ebu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị iwu sị ha,
then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 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 the book of this law, and you shall put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; and it shall be there among you for a testimony.
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 your provocation, and your stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, you have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall you not also be so 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 together to me the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, that I may speak in their ears all these words; and I call both 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 you will utterly transgress, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you; and evils shall come upon you in the latter days, because you will do evil before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of your hands. And Moses spoke all the words of this song even to the end, in the ears of the whole assembly.
30 Ya mere, Mosis gụpụtara okwu niile dị nʼabụ a site na mbido ruo ọgwụgwụ na ntị nzukọ ndị Izrel niile.
