Diuteronomi 32
1 Gee ntị, gị eluigwe, nụrụ ihe m na-ekwu! Gee ntị, ụwa, nụrụ okwu si m nʼọnụ.
Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words 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 will drop as the rain. My speech will condense as the dew, as the misty rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.
3 Aga m eto aha Onyenwe anyị toonu ịdị ukwuu Chineke anyị!
For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name. 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. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.
5 Ha emerụọla onwe ha, ha abụkwaghị ụmụ ya, ha bụ ọgbọ gbagọrọ agbagọ, ndị ụdịdị ha gbanwere agbanwe
They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.
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 this the way you repay Yahweh, foolish and unwise people? Isn’t he your father who has bought you? He has made you and established 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 the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell 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.
When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the children of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the children 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 is the lot 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 found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept 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 that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.
12 Onyenwe anyị naanị ya duru ya, chi ala ọzọ esokwaghị ya.
Yahweh alone led him. There was no foreign 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 made him ride on the high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty 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 from the herd, and milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. From the blood of the grape, you drank 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.
But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he abandoned God who made him, and rejected 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 moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger 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 sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods that they didn’t know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers didn’t dread.
18 Ị gbakụtara Oke Nkume ahụ mụrụ gị azụ, i chefuru Chineke ahụ mụrụ gị.
Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
19 Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ihe dị otu a, jụ ha, nʼihi na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na ndị inyom kpasuru ya iwe.
Yahweh saw and abhorred, because of 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.
He said, “I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end will be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
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 that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with 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 is kindled in my anger, that burns to the lowest Sheol, devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire. (Sheol h7585)
23 “Aga m ekpokwasị mbibi nʼelu ha, zipụ àkụ m niile megide ha.
“I will heap evils on them. I will spend 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.
They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, with the venom of vipers that glide in 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.
Outside the sword will bereave, and in the rooms, terror on both young man and virgin, the nursing infant with the gray-haired man.
26 Ekwuru m na m ga-achụsasị ha, hichapụ ncheta ọbụla banyere ha nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ.
I said that I would scatter them afar. I would make their memory to cease from among men;
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 I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted; Yahweh has not done all this.’”
28 Ha bụ mba na-enweghị uche, ndị na-enweghị mmụọ nghọta ọbụla nʼime ha.
For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.
29 A sịkwarị na ha maara ihe, nwee uche nakwa ịghọta ihe ikpeazụ ha ga-abụ.
Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider 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 could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had delivered 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, even our enemies themselves concede.
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, of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poison grapes. Their clusters are bitter.
33 Mmanya vaịnị ha bụ elo agwọ, elo ajụala na-ebute ọnwụ.
Their wine is the poison of serpents, the cruel venom of asps.
34 “Nke a ọ bụghị ihe m dokọtarala chere oge, chezie ha nke ọma nʼụlọakụ m?
“Isn’t this laid up in store with me, sealed up 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 is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides, for the day of their calamity is at hand. Their doom rushes at them.”
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 judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.
37 Ọ ga-asịkwa, “Ugbu a, olee ebe chi niile ha nọ, bụ oke nkume ahụ ha gbabara izere ndụ nʼime ya,
He will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
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!”
which ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you! Let them be your protection.
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 myself am he. There is no god with me. I kill and I make alive. I wound and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of 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 heaven and declare, as I live forever,
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 sharpen my glittering sword, my hand grasps it in judgment; I will take vengeance on my adversaries, and will repay those who hate me.
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 my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, 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.
Rejoice, you nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants. He will take vengeance on his adversaries, and will make atonement for his land and for his people.
44 Mosis na Joshua nwa Nun soro bịa gụpụta mkpụrụ okwu abụ a na ntị ndị Izrel.
Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
45 Mgbe Mosis gụpụtachara abụ a nye ndị Izrel,
Moses finished reciting 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.
He said to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you today, which you shall command your children 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 no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”
48 Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
Yahweh spoke to Moses that 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 into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children 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.
Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was 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 among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children 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.”
For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”
