Diuteronomi 32
1 Gee ntị, gị eluigwe, nụrụ ihe m na-ekwu! Gee ntị, ụwa, nụrụ okwu si m nʼọnụ.
Give ear O ye heavens and I will speak, And let the earth hear the 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.
Let my teaching drop as the rain, Let my speech distil as the dew, —As copious rains on tender grass, As myriad drops on seeding plants.
3 Aga m eto aha Onyenwe anyị toonu ịdị ukwuu Chineke anyị!
When, the name of Yahweh, I proclaim, Ascribe ye greatness unto 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.
A Rock! faultless his work, For, all his ways, are just, A GOD of faithfulness and without perversity, Right and fair, is he!
5 Ha emerụọla onwe ha, ha abụkwaghị ụmụ ya, ha bụ ọgbọ gbagọrọ agbagọ, ndị ụdịdị ha gbanwere agbanwe
They have broken faith with him to be no sons of his—their fault, —A generation twisted 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?
Is it Yahweh, ye thus requite, O impious people and unwise? Is not, he, thy father who begat thee? He, that made thee and established thee?
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 the days of age-past times, Remark the years of many generations, —Ask thy father and he will tell thee, Thine elders and they will say to thee: —
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.
When the Most High gave inheritances unto the nations, When he spread abroad the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples, According to the number of the sons of Israel.
9 Nʼihi na oke Onyenwe anyị nwetara bụ ndị ya Jekọb bụ ihe nketa e kenyere ya.
For, Yahweh’s portion is his people, —Jacob, his inherited possession.
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 met him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness, —He encompassed him watched over him, Shielded him as the pupil of his own 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, stirreth up his nest, Over his young ones, fluttereth, Spreadeth abroad his wings, taketh one, Beareth it up on his pinions,
12 Onyenwe anyị naanị ya duru ya, chi ala ọzọ esokwaghị ya.
Yahweh alone did lead him, —And there was with him no GOD of a stranger.
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 made him ride on the high places of the land, Caused him to eat the increase of the fields, —And gave him to suck honey out of the cliff, And oil out of the rock of flint:
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.
Curds of kine and milk of sheep, —With fat of well-fed lambs, Yea rams bred in Bashan, and he-goats, With the white of the kernels of wheat, —And, the blood of the grape, thou didst drink as it foamed.
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.
Then Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou wast fat, Thou wast thick, Thou wast gorged, So he forsook the GOD who made him, And treated as foolish his Rock of 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 moved him to jealousy with foreign [gods], —With abominations, angered they him:
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 sacrificed to mischievous demons to a No-GOD, Gods whom they knew not, —New ones lately come in, Your fathers never shuddered at them!
18 Ị gbakụtara Oke Nkume ahụ mụrụ gị azụ, i chefuru Chineke ahụ mụrụ gị.
Of the Rock who had begotten thee, thou wast unmindful, —And didst forget GOD who had given thee birth.
19 Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ihe dị otu a, jụ ha, nʼihi na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na ndị inyom kpasuru ya iwe.
When Yahweh saw, he derided, —Because his sons and his daughters gave provocation.
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.
So he said: —I will hide my face from them, I will see what will be their hereafter, —For a generation given to intrigue, they are, Sons, whom there is no trusting;
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 moved me to jealousy with a No-GOD, They have angered me with their vanities: I, therefore, will move them to jealousy with a No-people, With an impious nation, will I anger them.
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, is kindled in mine anger, And shall burn as far as hades beneath, —And consume the earth with her produce, And set ablaze the foundations of the mountains: (Sheol h7585)
23 “Aga m ekpokwasị mbibi nʼelu ha, zipụ àkụ m niile megide ha.
I will heap on them, calamities, —Mine arrows, will I spend upon 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.
The meltings of hunger, The devourings of fever, And the dangerous pestilence, —And, the tooth of beasts, will I send among them, With the poison of crawlers 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.
Without, shall the sword bereave, In the inmost recesses, terror, —To both young man and virgin, Suckling, with man of grey hairs.
26 Ekwuru m na m ga-achụsasị ha, hichapụ ncheta ọbụla banyere ha nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ.
I said, I would puff them away, I would destroy from mortals, their memory;
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.’”
Were it not that the taunt of the foe, I feared, Lest their adversaries should mistake, —Lest they should say—Our own hand, is exalted, It is not Yahweh, therefore who hath wrought all this!
28 Ha bụ mba na-enweghị uche, ndị na-enweghị mmụọ nghọta ọbụla nʼime ha.
For a nation of vanished sagacity, they are, —And there is in them no understanding.
29 A sịkwarị na ha maara ihe, nwee uche nakwa ịghọta ihe ikpeazụ ha ga-abụ.
If they had been wise, they would have understood this, —They would have given heed to their here-after!
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?
Oh! how would one, have chased, a thousand! And, two, put, ten thousand to flight, —Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And, Yahweh, had abandoned them;
31 Nʼihi na nkume ha adịghị ka Nkume anyị, dịka ndị iro anyị, nʼonwe ha, jiri ọnụ ha kwuo.
For, not like our Rock, is their rock, Our enemies themselves, being 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 of the vine of Sodom, is their vine, And of the vineyards of Gomorrah, —Their grapes, are grapes of gall, Clusters of bitter things, are theirs:
33 Mmanya vaịnị ha bụ elo agwọ, elo ajụala na-ebute ọnwụ.
The poison of large serpents, is their wine, —Yea the fierce venom of asps.
34 “Nke a ọ bụghị ihe m dokọtarala chere oge, chezie ha nke ọma nʼụlọakụ m?
Is not, that, stored up with me, —Sealed up amongst 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.”
Unto the days of vengeance and requital: Unto the time their foot shall totter? For, near, is the day of their fate, And their destiny speedeth on.
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 Yahweh will vindicate his people, And upon his servants, will have compassion, —When he seeth that strength is exhausted, And there is no one shut up or at large,
37 Ọ ga-asịkwa, “Ugbu a, olee ebe chi niile ha nọ, bụ oke nkume ahụ ha gbabara izere ndụ nʼime ya,
Then will he say, Where are their gods, The rock in whom they have 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 used to eat the fat of their sacrifices, To drink the wine of their libations? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be over you for a coveting!
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, I, am, he that is, And there are no gods with me, —I, kill—and make alive, I wound and, I, heal, And there is none who, from my hand, can deliver,
40 Ana m eweli aka nʼeluigwe na-ekwupụta nʼịnụ iyi sị, dịka m na-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi,
For I lift up unto the heavens my hand, —And say, Living am, I, unto times age-abiding:
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 whet my flashing sword, And my hand take hold on justice, I will return vengeance unto mine adversaries, And them who hate me, will I requite:
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 will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And, my sword, shall devour flesh, —With the blood of the slain and the captive, With the flesh of the chief leader of the foe.
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.
Shout for joy O ye nations [with] his people, For the blood of his servants, he avengeth, —And, vengeance, he returneth unto his adversaries, And is propitious unto the soil of his people.
44 Mosis na Joshua nwa Nun soro bịa gụpụta mkpụrụ okwu abụ a na ntị ndị Izrel.
So Moses came in and spake all the words of this Song in the hearing of the people, —he and Hoshea son of Nun.
45 Mgbe Mosis gụpụtachara abụ a nye ndị Izrel,
And, when Moses made an end of speaking all these words unto 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.
he said unto them—Apply your hearts unto all the words which I am witnessing against you, to-day, —how that ye must 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, too small a thing, for you, for, it, is your life, —and, hereby, shall ye prolong your days upon the soil whereunto ye are, passing over the Jordan to possess it.
48 Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, on this selfsame 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.
Get thee up into this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is over against Jericho—and behold the land of Canaan which I am giving unto 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 thou in the mount whither thou art going up, and be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk, —as Aaron thy brother died in Mount Hor, and was withdrawn unto his kinsfolk;
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.
for that ye acted unfaithfully against me in the midst of the sons of Israel, regarding the waters of Meribah-Kadesh in the desert of Zin, —for that ye hallowed me not 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.”
Yet, over against thee, shalt thou behold the land, —but thereinto, shalt thou not enter, into the land which I am giving unto the sons of Israel.
