Diuteronomi 32
1 Gee ntị, gị eluigwe, nụrụ ihe m na-ekwu! Gee ntị, ụwa, nụrụ okwu si m nʼọnụ.
“Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And you hear, O earth, sayings of my mouth!
2 Ka okwu m daa dịka mmiri ozuzo ka okwu m daa dịka igirigi, ka ọ daa dịka nshansha mmiri nʼelu ahịhịa, dịka oke mmiri ozuzo nʼahịhịa na-epupụta epupụta.
My doctrine drops as rain; My sayings flow as dew; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
3 Aga m eto aha Onyenwe anyị toonu ịdị ukwuu Chineke anyị!
For I proclaim the Name of YHWH; Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 Ọ bụ oke nkume ahụ, ọrụ ya zuruoke, ụzọ ya niile ziri ezi. Chineke kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, nke na-adịghị eme ihe ọjọọ, onye ezi omume na onye ziri ezi ka ọ bụ.
The Rock—His work [is] perfect, For all His ways [are] just; God of steadfastness, and without iniquity; Righteous and upright [is] He.
5 Ha emerụọla onwe ha, ha abụkwaghị ụmụ ya, ha bụ ọgbọ gbagọrọ agbagọ, ndị ụdịdị ha gbanwere agbanwe
It has done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not of His sons, A generation perverse and crooked!
6 Ọ bụ otu a ka unu si emeso Onyenwe anyị unu ndị nzuzu, ndị na-enweghị uche? Onyenwe anyị ọ bụghị nna unu, onye kere unu, onye kpụrụ unu mee ka unu guzosie ike?
Do you act thus to YHWH, O people foolish and not wise? Is He not your Father—He who bought you? He made you, and establishes you.
7 Cheta ụbọchị ochie ndị ahụ gara aga, tulee ọgbọ ndị ahụ gara aga jụọ nna gị, ọ ga-akọrọ gị. Jụọ ndị okenye gị, ha ga-eme ka o doo gị anya.
Remember days of old—Understand the years of many generations—Ask your father, and he tells you; Your elderly, and they say to you:
8 Mgbe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu nyere mba ọbụla ihe nketa nke ha, mgbe o kesara ụmụ mmadụ, mgbe o guzobere oke ala nye ndị niile dịka ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Izrel si dị.
In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam—He sets up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of God [[or sons of Israel]].
9 Nʼihi na oke Onyenwe anyị nwetara bụ ndị ya Jekọb bụ ihe nketa e kenyere ya.
For YHWH’s portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line of His inheritance.
10 Nʼala dị nʼọzara ka ọ chọtara ya, nʼala tọgbọrọ nʼefu, nke kpọrọ nkụ. O kpuchitere ya, lezie ya anya, o chebere ya dịka ọ bụ mkpụrụ anya ya,
He finds him in a land—a desert, And in a void—a howling wilderness, He turns him around—He causes him to understand—He keeps him as the apple of His eye.
11 dịka ugo nke na-akpọte ụmụ dị nʼakwụ ya, nke na-erugharị nʼelu ụmụ ya, nke na-agbasapụ nku ya ijide ha, nke na-ebu ha na nku ya,
As an eagle wakes up its nest, Flutters over its young ones, Spreads its wings [and] takes them, Carries them on its pinions—
12 Onyenwe anyị naanị ya duru ya, chi ala ọzọ esokwaghị ya.
YHWH alone leads him, And there is no strange god with him.
13 O mere ka ọ rịkwasị nʼebe niile dị elu nke ala ahụ, jiri mkpụrụ na-amị nʼala ubi ahụ zụọ ya. O ji mmanụ aṅụ si na nkume zụọ ya, ya na mmanụ si nʼoke nkume,
He makes him ride on high places of earth, And he eats increase of the fields, And He makes him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock;
14 na mmiri ara rahụrụ arahụ nke igwe ehi, na mmiri ara rahụrụ arahụ nke igwe ewu na atụrụ, na ụmụ atụrụ na mkpi gbara abụba, na oke ebule Bashan dị ezi mma, tinyere ezi obi ọka wiiti. Ị ṅụkwara mmanya na-agbọ ụfụfụ, nke bụ ọbara mkpụrụ vaịnị.
Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams of sons of Bashan, And male goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape you drink wine!
15 Ma Jeshurun mara abụba, ma gbagharịa ụkwụ ya, ebe nri juru ya ọnụ, o buru ibu, maa mma ile anya. Ọ hapụrụ Chineke kpụrụ ya, jụ oke nkume ahụ, bụ Onye Nzọpụta ya.
And Yeshurun waxes fat, and kicks: You have been fat, you have been thick, You have been covered. And he leaves God who made him, And dishonors the Rock of his salvation.
16 Ha sitere na chi ndị ala ọzọ ha kpasuo ekworo ya, meekwa ka iwe wee ya nʼihi ihe arụ nke arụsị ha.
They make Him zealous with strangers, They make Him angry with abominations.
17 Ha chụrụ aja nye ụmụ mmụọ, ndị na-abụghị Chineke, bụ chi ndị ha na-amaghị, chi ndị ka pụtara ọhụrụ, chi ndị ahụ nna nna ha na-atụghị ụjọ ha.
They sacrifice to the demons, not God, To gods they have not known, New ones—they came from the vicinity; Your fathers have not feared them!
18 Ị gbakụtara Oke Nkume ahụ mụrụ gị azụ, i chefuru Chineke ahụ mụrụ gị.
You forget the Rock that begot you, And neglect God who forms you.
19 Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ihe dị otu a, jụ ha, nʼihi na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na ndị inyom kpasuru ya iwe.
And YHWH sees and despises—For the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
20 “Aga m ezo ihu m nʼebe ha nọ,” ka o kwuru, “ka m hụ ihe ọnọdụ ikpeazụ ha ga-abụ, nʼihi na ha bụ ọgbọ gbagọrọ agbagọ, ụmụ na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi.
And He says: I hide My face from them, I see what their latter end [is]; For they [are] a contrary generation, Sons in whom is no steadfastness.
21 Ha esitela nʼihe na-abụghị chi kpalie ekworo m, jiri arụsị ha na-abaghị uru mee ka iwe wee m. Mụ onwe m ga-esite na ndị na-abụghị ndị kpalie ekworo ha, sitekwa na mba na-enweghị nghọta kpalie iwe ya.
They have made Me jealous by [what is] not God, They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them jealous by [what is] not a people, I make them angry by a foolish nation.
22 Nʼihi na a mụnyela ọkụ nʼọnụma m, ọkụ ga-enwu ruo ala mmụọ nʼokpuru ụwa. Ọ ga-erepịa ụwa na mkpụrụobi niile, ọ ga-amụnye ọkụ na ntọala ugwu ukwu niile. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire has been kindled in My anger, And it burns to the lowest [part] of Sheol, And consumes earth and its increase, And sets on fire [the] foundations of mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 “Aga m ekpokwasị mbibi nʼelu ha, zipụ àkụ m niile megide ha.
I heap calamities on them, I consume My arrows on them.
24 Aga m eziga ọnwụ na-eripịa eripịa megide ha, na ịla nʼiyi nke na-ebibi ebibi, na ọrịa ọjọọ na-egbu egbu. Aga m eziga anụ ọhịa ndị ga-eji eze tapịasịa ha, na ajụala na-akpụ akpụ nʼuzuzu, nke elo ọnwụ dị nʼọnụ ya.
Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat and bitter destruction—I also send the teeth of beasts on them, With poison of fearful things of the dust.
25 Nʼokporoụzọ, mma agha ga-eme ka ha gbara aka ụmụ, nʼime ụlọ ha, ihe oke egwu ga-abịakwasị ha. Ụmụ okorobịa na agbọghọbịa ga-ala nʼiyi, ọ bụladị ụmụntakịrị na ndị agadi isi awọ.
The sword destroys from outside, And out of the inner-chambers—terror, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
26 Ekwuru m na m ga-achụsasị ha, hichapụ ncheta ọbụla banyere ha nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ.
I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
27 Ma ihe banyere ịnya isi onye iro tinyere m ụjọ nʼobi, ka onye iro ghara ịghọtahie kwuo sị, ‘Aka anyị ewetarala anyị mmeri, ọ bụghị Onyenwe anyị mere ihe ndị a niile.’”
If I do not fear the anger of an enemy, Lest their adversaries know—Lest they say, Our hand is high, And YHWH has not worked all this.
28 Ha bụ mba na-enweghị uche, ndị na-enweghị mmụọ nghọta ọbụla nʼime ha.
For they [are] a nation lost to counsels, And there is no understanding in them.
29 A sịkwarị na ha maara ihe, nwee uche nakwa ịghọta ihe ikpeazụ ha ga-abụ.
If only they were wise, They would deal wisely [with] this, They would attend to their latter end!
30 Kedụ ka otu onye ga-esi chụọ otu puku mmadụ ọsọ, kedụ ka mmadụ abụọ ga-esi chụọ iri puku mmadụ ọsọ, ma ọ bụghị na Oke Nkume ha erefuola ha, ma ọ bụghị na Onyenwe anyị echepụla ihu ya nʼebe ha nọ?
How does one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee, If not that their Rock has sold them, And YHWH has shut them up?
31 Nʼihi na nkume ha adịghị ka Nkume anyị, dịka ndị iro anyị, nʼonwe ha, jiri ọnụ ha kwuo.
For their rock [is] not as our Rock (And our enemies [are] judges!)
32 Osisi vaịnị ha si nʼosisi vaịnị Sọdọm, na nʼubi dị na Gọmọra mkpụrụ vaịnị ha jupụtara na nsi, ụyọkọ vaịnị ha jupụtara nʼilu ilu.
For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes [are] grapes of gall—They have bitter clusters;
33 Mmanya vaịnị ha bụ elo agwọ, elo ajụala na-ebute ọnwụ.
The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of cobras.
34 “Nke a ọ bụghị ihe m dokọtarala chere oge, chezie ha nke ọma nʼụlọakụ m?
Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures?
35 Ọ bụ m ka ịbọ ọbọ dịrị m, aga m akwụghachi. Mgbe oge ruru ụkwụ ha ga-agbuchapụ, ụbọchị mbibi ha na-abịa nso, ịla nʼiyi ha chị ọsọ na-abịakwasị ha.”
Vengeance and retribution [are] Mine, At the due time—their foot slides; For near is a day of their calamity, And things prepared for them have hastened.
36 Onyenwe anyị ga-ekpe ndị ya ikpe, ọ ga-enwe ọmịiko nʼahụ ndị ohu ya, mgbe ọ hụrụ na ike ha nwere agwụla, mgbe otu onye na-agaghị afọdụ, ohu na onye nwe onwe ya.
For YHWH judges His people, And gives comfort over His servants. For He sees the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.
37 Ọ ga-asịkwa, “Ugbu a, olee ebe chi niile ha nọ, bụ oke nkume ahụ ha gbabara izere ndụ nʼime ya,
And He has said, Where [are] their gods—The rock in which they trusted?
38 chi ndị ahụ riri abụba ihe ịchụ aja ha, ṅụọkwa mmanya ha ji chụọ aja ihe ọṅụṅụ? Ha bilie bịa nyere unu aka! Ha bụrụ ụlọ ndo nye unu!”
Who eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drink the wine of their drink-offering? Let them arise and help you, Let it be a hiding place for you!
39 “Ugbu a, hụnụ na mụ onwe m abụ m ya! Ọ dịghịkwa chi ọzọ dị ma ọ bụghị m. Mụ onwe m na-eme ka a nwụọ, mụ onwe m na-eme ka a dị ndụ. Mụ onwe m na-etipụ mmadụ ọnya, mụ onwe m na-agwọ ya, mmadụ ọbụla apụghịkwa ịnapụta onye m ji nʼaka m.
See, now, that I [am] He, And there is no god besides Me; I put to death and I keep alive; I have struck and I heal; And there is not a deliverer from My hand,
40 Ana m eweli aka nʼeluigwe na-ekwupụta nʼịnụ iyi sị, dịka m na-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi,
For I lift up My hand to the heavens, And have said, I live for all time!
41 mgbe m mụrụ mma agha m na-egbu amụma, mgbe aka m jidere mma agha ahụ nʼọnọdụ ikpe ikpe, aga m abọ ọbọ megide ndị iro, kwụghachi ndị ahụ niile kpọrọ m asị.
If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand lays hold on judgment, I return vengeance to My adversaries, And to those hating Me—I repay!
42 Aga m eme ka àkụ m ṅụjuo ọbara afọ, ma mma agha ga-ebibi anụ ahụ, ọbara ndị e gburu egbu, na nke ndị a dọtara nʼagha, na isi ndị ndu ndị iro.”
I make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword devours flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.
43 Ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ mba niile, unu na ndị ya, nʼihi na ọ ga-abọ ọbọ ọbara ndị ohu ya, ọ ga-abọ ọbọ megide ndị iro ya, kpuchiere ala ya na ndị ya mmehie ha.
Sing, O nations, [with] His people, For He avenges the blood of His servants, And He turns back vengeance on His adversaries, And has pardoned His land [and] His people.”
44 Mosis na Joshua nwa Nun soro bịa gụpụta mkpụrụ okwu abụ a na ntị ndị Izrel.
And Moses comes and speaks all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
45 Mgbe Mosis gụpụtachara abụ a nye ndị Izrel,
and Moses finishes to speak all these words to all Israel,
46 ọ gwara ha okwu ndị a sị, “Na-atụgharịnụ uche nʼokwu niile m kwupụtara nye unu taa, ka unu si otu a nyefeekwa ya nʼaka ụmụ unu, ka ha onwe ha lezie anya debe okwu niile dị nʼiwu ndị a.
and says to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you today, that you command your sons to observe to do all the words of this law,
47 Nʼihi na okwu ndị a abụghị okwu efu, ndụ unu dabeere na ha. Unu debe ha, unu ga-adị ndụ ogologo nʼime ala ahụ unu na-aga inweta nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan.”
for it [is] not a vain thing for you, for it [is] your life, and by this thing you prolong days on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
48 Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
And YHWH speaks to Moses on this very same day, saying,
49 “Bilie ga nʼugwu Nebo nke dị nʼetiti ugwu Abarim, nʼala Moab, na ncherita ihu Jeriko, leekwa ala Kenan anya, bụ ala ahụ m na-enye ụmụ Izrel dịka ihe nketa ha.
“Go up to this Mount Abarim, Mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession;
50 Mgbe ị hụsịrị ala a, ị ga-anwụ nʼebe ahụ nʼelu ugwu ahụ, lakwurukwa nna nna gị ha, dịka Erọn nwanne gị si nwụọ nʼugwu Hor, lakwuru ha.
and die on the mountain to where you are going up, and be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron has died on Mount Hor and is gathered to his people;
51 Nʼihi na gị na Erọn jụrụ irubere m isi nʼihu ụmụ Izrel, na mmiri Meriba Kadesh, nke dị nʼọzara Zin, unu edoghị m nsọ nʼihu ndị Izrel.
because you trespassed against Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of Zin, because you did not sanctify Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
52 Nʼihi ya, ị ga-esite nʼebe dị anya hụ ala ahụ m na-enye ụmụ Izrel, ma ị gaghị aba nʼime ya.”
Indeed, you see the land before [you], but you do not go in there to the land which I am giving to the sons of Israel.”
