< Diuteronomi 5 >
1 Mosis kpọkọtara Izrel niile gwa ha okwu sị, Geenụ ntị, unu Izrel, nʼụkpụrụ ndị a na iwu ndị a niile m na-agụpụta na ntị unu taa, mụtanụ ha, hụkwanụ na unu debere ha!
Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I declare in your hearing this day. Learn them and observe them carefully.
2 Anyị na Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị gbara ndụ nʼugwu Horeb.
The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
3 Ọ bụghị Onyenwe anyị na nna nna anyị ha gbara ndụ, kama ọ bụ anyị na ya, anyị niile ndị dị ndụ taa.
He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.
4 Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼetiti ọkụ gwa unu okwu ihu na ihu nʼugwu ahụ.
The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.
5 E guzoro m nʼetiti unu na Onyenwe anyị mgbe ahụ, ikwupụtara unu okwu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na unu tụrụ egwu ọkụ ahụ, unu arịgoghịkwa nʼugwu ahụ. Ọ sịrị:
At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said:
6 “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼIjipt, bụ ala nke ịbụ ohu.
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
7 “Gị enwela chi ọzọ tinyere m.
You shall have no other gods before Me.
8 Gị emerela onwe gị arụsị a pịrị apị, nʼoyiyi nke ụdị ọbụla nke yiri ihe dị nʼeluigwe maọbụ nke yiri ihe dị nʼụwa, nʼokpuru ya maọbụ nʼime mmiri, nʼokpuru ụwa.
You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.
9 Gị akpọla isiala nye ha, efekwala ha ofufe, nʼihi na Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, abụ m Chineke ekworo. Onye na-ata ụmụ na ụmụ ụmụ ahụhụ, nʼihi ajọ omume nke ndị mụrụ ha, ọ bụladị ruo nʼọgbọ nke atọ na nke anọ, nke ndị ahụ kpọrọ m asị.
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
10 Ma na-egosi ịhụnanya nye puku ọgbọ niile nke ndị hụrụ m nʼanya, bụ ndị na-edebe ihe niile m nyere nʼiwu.
but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
11 Gị ejikwala aha Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị eme ihe efu, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị agụ onye ji aha ya eme ihe efu dịka onye ikpe na-amaghị.
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.
12 Debe ụbọchị izuike site nʼido ya nsọ, dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị nʼiwu.
Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.
13 Nʼime ụbọchị isii ka ị ga-eje ozi gị niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼime ha ka ị ga-arụzu ọrụ gị niile,
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
14 ma ụbọchị nke asaa bụ ụbọchị izuike nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị. Ị gaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ, gị onwe gị, nwa gị nwoke na nwa gị nwanyị, onye ọrụ gị nwoke, onye ọrụ gị nwanyị, ehi gị, ịnyịnya ibu gị maọbụ anụ ụlọ gị ọbụla, ọ bụladị onye ọbịa bi nʼobodo gị, ka ohu gị nwoke na ohu gị nwanyị zuru ike dịka gị onwe gị si ezu ike.
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do.
15 Ị ga-echetakwa na ị bụ ohu nʼala Ijipt, ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke mere ka i si nʼohu pụta. Ọ bụ ike ya dị ukwuu ka o ji napụta gị. Ọ bụ ya mere Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ji nye iwu na ị ga-edebe ụbọchị izuike nsọ.
Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 Sọpụrụ nne gị na nna gị, dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị nʼiwu, ka ụbọchị ndụ gị dị ogologo, ka ihe dịkwara gị mma nʼala ahụ nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị.
Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
You shall not commit adultery.
20 Gị agbala ama ụgha megide onye agbataobi gị.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
21 Gị enwela anya ukwu nʼebe nwunye onye agbataobi gị dị. Gị enwekwala agụụ inwetara onwe gị ụlọ onye agbataobi gị, maọbụ nʼebe ala ya, maọbụ ohu ya nwoke, maọbụ ohu ya nwanyị, maọbụ ehi ya, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu ya, ma ọ bụkwanụ nʼihe ọbụla nke onye agbataobi nwere dị.”
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house or field, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
22 Iwu ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼolu ike kwupụta nye ọgbakọ unu niile nʼelu ugwu ahụ, site nʼọkụ ahụ na igwe ojii ahụ na oke ọchịchịrị ahụ. O nweghị okwu ọzọ o tụkwasịrị nʼelu ya. O mechara dee ha na mbadamba nkume abụọ, nye m ha.
The LORD spoke these commandments in a loud voice to your whole assembly out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
23 Ma mgbe unu nụrụ oke olu ahụ kwuru okwu site nʼoke ọchịchịrị ahụ, hụkwa ire ọkụ ahụ dị egwu na-enwu nʼelu ugwu, ndịisi unu, ndị ndu ebo ọbụla na ndị okenye unu bịakwutere m.
And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,
24 Unu sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị egosila anyị ebube ya, na ịdị ukwu ya, anyị anụkwala olu ya site nʼime ọkụ ahụ. Taa anyị ahụla na mmadụ pụrụ ịdị ndụ ọbụladị ma Chineke kpanyere ha ụka.
and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him.
25 Ma ugbu a nʼihi gịnị ka anyị ga-eji nwụọ? Ọkụ a, nke na-enwusi ike ga-erechapụ anyị. Anyị ga-anwụ ma ọ bụrụ na anyị anụ olu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị gaa nʼihu.
But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.
26 Nʼihi na onye dị nʼetiti mmadụ, nke nụrụ olu Chineke dị ndụ ka ọ na-ekwu okwu site nʼetiti ọkụ, dịka anyị nụrụ ma dịrị ndụ.
For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived?
27 Gaa nso nụtara anyị ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị na-ekwu, mgbe ahụ, gwa anyị ihe ọbụla bụ nke ọ gwara gị, anyị ga-anụ, mekwa ya.”
Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.”
28 Onyenwe anyị nụrụ olu okwu mgbe unu gwara m okwu, Onyenwe anyị sịrị m, “Anụla m ihe ndị a gwara gị. Ihe niile ha kwuru ziri ezi.
And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.
29 Lee, ọ ga-adị nnọọ mma ma mkpụrụobi ha dị otu a, ịtụ egwu m, na idebe ihe niile m nyere ha nʼiwu, ka ihe gaara ha na ụmụ ha nke ọma mgbe niile ebighị ebi.
If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever.
30 “Gaa, gwa ha ka ha laghachi nʼụlọ ikwu ha.
Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’
31 Ma gị onwe gị, guzo nʼebe a nʼakụkụ m, ka m nye gị iwu m na ụkpụrụ m niile, ị ga-akụziri ha idebe iwu m, ha aghakwaghị idebe ha nʼala ahụ m gaje inye ha ka ha nweta.”
But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.”
32 Lezienụ anya ime ihe ndị ahụ niile Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu nyere unu nʼiwu. Unu esitela na ha wezuga onwe unu gaa nʼaka nri maọbụ nʼaka ekpe.
So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or to the left.
33 Jegharịanụ ije nʼụzọ niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nyere unu nʼiwu, ka unu dịrị ndụ, baa ụba, ma meekwa ka ndụ unu dị ogologo nʼala ahụ unu na-aga inweta.
You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
