Diuteronomi 31
1 Mgbe Mosis gwachara ụmụ Izrel okwu ndị a niile,
And Moses went and spoke these words unto 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 am not able any more to go out and come in; for the Lord 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.
The Lord thy God it is who goeth over before thee; he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt dispossess them: Joshua it is who goeth over before thee, as the Lord hath 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 will do unto them as he hath done to Sichon and to 'Og, the kings of the Emorites, and unto their land, whom he hath destroyed.
5 Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe ndị bi nʼebe ahụ nʼaka unu, unu ga-ekpochapụkwa ha dịka m nyere unu nʼiwu.
And the Lord will give them up before you; and ye shall do unto them according unto the whole of 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 of a good courage, be not afraid and be not dismayed on account of them; for the Lord thy God it is that goeth with thee; he will not let thee fail, 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 unto Joshua, and said unto him before the eyes of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage; for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give unto them; and thou shalt divide it for them as a possession.
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 it is that goeth before thee; he will be with thee, he will not let thee fail, nor will he forsake thee: fear not, nor be thou discouraged.
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 down this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and unto 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 fixed time of the year of release, on 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 to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he will choose, shalt thou read this law in the presence of all Israel in their hearing.
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.
Assemble the people together, the men, and the women, and the children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates; in order that they may hear, and in order that they may learn how they are to fear the Lord your God, and observe 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 have not yet any knowledge, may hear, and learn to fear the Lord your God, all the days which ye live in the land whither ye go 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 the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die; call Joshua, and place yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge: and Moses and Joshua went, and placed themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gosiri ha onwe ya nʼime ogidi igwe ojii nke guzochiri ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle.
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 unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers: and then will this people rise up, and go astray after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be in the midst of them, and they 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 on that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be given to be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall overtake them; and they will say on that day, Is it not, because my God is not in the midst of me, that these evils have overtaken me?
18 Aga m echepụ ihu m site nʼebe ha nọ nʼụbọchị ahụ, nʼihi ajọ omume ha nke ife chi ọzọ ofufe.
But I will assuredly hide my face on that day on account of all the evils which they have wrought, because they have 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.
Now therefore write ye for yourselves this song, and teach it the children of Israel, put it in their mouth; in order that this song may become for me a witness 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 when I shall have brought them into the land which I have sworn unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat: then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and 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 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 mouth of their seed; for I know their inclination which they have shown, even this day, before I have brought them into the land which I have sworn.
22 Ya mere, nʼụbọchị ahụ, Mosis dere abụ ahụ, kuziekwara ya ụmụ Izrel.
And Moses wrote down this song on the same day, and taught it 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 gave a charge unto Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and of a good courage; 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 made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
25 o nyere ndị Livayị na-ebu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị iwu sị ha,
That Moses commanded the Levites, the bearers of 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 this book of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may remain there against thee for a witness.
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: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, have ye been rebellious against the Lord, 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.
Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers; and I will speak in their ears these words, and I will call as witnesses against them the heavens and the earth.
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 to a surety become corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and that the evil will befall you in the latter days, when ye do the evil in the eyes of the Lord, to incense him 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 all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
