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 called all the Israelites together and told them: Listen, people of Israel to the rules and regulations that I'm giving you today. Learn them and make sure you follow them carefully.
2 Anyị na Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị gbara ndụ nʼugwu Horeb.
Remember that the Lord our God made an agreement 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 didn't make this agreement with our fathers, but with us, all of those who are still alive today.
4 Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼetiti ọkụ gwa unu okwu ihu na ihu nʼugwu ahụ.
The Lord talked with you person to person from 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:
This was the time when I stood between the Lord and you to tell you what the Lord said, because you were afraid of the fire and refused to go up the mountain. He told you,
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 led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
7 “Gị enwela chi ọzọ tinyere m.
You must not have any other gods except 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 must not make for yourself any kind of idol, whether in the form of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.
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 must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons;
10 Ma na-egosi ịhụnanya nye puku ọgbọ niile nke ndị hụrụ m nʼanya, bụ ndị na-edebe ihe niile m nyere nʼiwu.
but I show trustworthy love to the thousands of generations 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 must not use the name of the Lord your God in a wrong way, for the Lord will not forgive anyone who uses his name in a wrong way.
12 Debe ụbọchị izuike site nʼido ya nsọ, dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị nʼiwu.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord as the Lord your God has commanded you to do.
13 Nʼime ụbọchị isii ka ị ga-eje ozi gị niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼime ha ka ị ga-arụzu ọrụ gị niile,
You have six days to work and earn your living,
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 the Sabbath to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you, so that your male slave and females slave can have the same rest as you.
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 once slaves in Egypt, and that the Lord your God led you out from there with his great power and incredible strength. This is why the Lord your God has ordered 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 to do, so that you may live a long time and do well in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
17 Gị egbula mmadụ.
You must not kill people.
18 Gị akwala iko.
You must not commit adultery.
19 Gị ezula ohi.
You must not steal.
20 Gị agbala ama ụgha megide onye agbataobi gị.
You must not give false evidence against others.
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 must not desire to have anyone else's wife. You must not desire to have their house or field, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to them.”
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.
In a loud voice the Lord gave these commandments to all of you, speaking from the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness that covered the mountain. He didn't add anything else. He wrote them down 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.
When you heard the voice that came from the darkness while the mountain was on fire, all your tribal leaders and elders came to 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 said, “Listen, the Lord our God has revealed glory and majesty to us, and we have heard his voice that came from the fire. Today we have seen that human beings can don't die even when God speaks with them.
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 we could still die, couldn't we? This enormous fire is going to burn us up, and we'll die if the Lord our God continues to speak to us.
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.
Has anybody else ever heard the living God speak from the fire and survived, we have?
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.”
You go and listen to everything the Lord our God tells you. Then you can repeat to us everything the Lord our God tells you. We promise to 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.
The Lord heard what you told me, and he said to me, “I've heard what these people told you. All that they've said is good.
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.
I only wish they really did respect me and always kept my commandments so that they and their children would do well for all time.
30 “Gaa, gwa ha ka ha laghachi nʼụlọ ikwu ha.
Go and tell them: ‘You need to 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 are to stay here with me so that I can give you all the commandments and rules and regulations you are to teach them to follow in the country that I am giving them to take over and own.”
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 make sure you do what the Lord your God has ordered you to do—don't go astray in any direction.
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.
Follow all the ways the Lord your God has shown you, so that you do well and live long lives in the country that you will occupy.
