1 Ndị a bụ iwu, na ụkpụrụ, na ikpe niile nke Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, nyere m nʼiwu ka a kuziere unu ka unu debe, nʼala ahụ unu na-agafe Jọdan inweta.
“These are the precepts and ceremonies, as well as the judgments, which the Lord your God has commanded that I teach to you, which you shall do in the land to which you will travel in order to possess it.
2 Ihe e ji nye iwu ndị a bụ ka unu na ụmụ unu, na ụmụ ụmụ unu, tụọ egwu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, site nʼidebe iwu ya, ogologo ndụ unu niile. Ọ bụrụ na unu emee ya, unu ga-enwe ndụ ogologo.
So may you fear the Lord your God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I am entrusting to you, and to your sons and grandsons, all the days of your life, so that your days may be prolonged.
3 Nụrụ Izrel ma lezie anya nʼirube isi, ka ihe gaara unu nke ọma, ka unu baa ụba nke ukwuu nʼala ahụ mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru nʼime ya, ọ bụladị dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna unu ha kwere unu na nkwa.
Listen and observe, O Israel, so that you may do just as the Lord has instructed you, and it may be well with you, and you may be multiplied all the more, for the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Nụrụ gị Izrel, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, Onyenwe anyị bụ otu.
Listen, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.
5 Were obi gị niile, na mkpụrụobi gị niile, na uche gị na ike gị niile, hụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nʼanya.
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 Iwu ndị a m na-enye gị taa ka ị ga-eme ka ọ dịrị gị nʼobi.
And these words, which I instruct to you this day, shall be in your heart.
7 Ị ga-akụziri ya ụmụ gị. Kwuo okwu banyere ha mgbe ị na-anọdụ ala nʼụlọ gị, mgbe ị na-aga nʼokporoụzọ, mgbe ị na-edina ala na mgbe i si nʼihe ndina bilie.
And you shall explain them to your sons. And you shall meditate upon them sitting in your house, and walking on a journey, when lying down and when rising up.
8 Keenụ ha dịka ihe ịrịbama nʼelu aka unu, kekwasịkwa ha dịka ihe ncheta nʼegedege ihu unu.
And you shall bind them like a sign on your hand, and they shall be placed and shall move between your eyes.
9 Dee ha nʼelu ibo ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ gị na nke ọnụ ụzọ ama gị.
And you shall write them at the threshold and on the doors of your house.
10 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke ga-akpọbata unu nʼala ahụ ọ ṅụrụ iyi nye nna nna unu ha, bụ Ebraham, na Aịzik, na Jekọb, na inye unu, ala sara mbara nke jupụtara nʼobodo unu na-ewughị,
And when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, about which he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and when he will have given to you great and excellent cities, which you did not build;
11 na ụlọ ihe ọma dị iche iche jupụtara nʼime ya nke unu na-azụghị, na olulu mmiri unu na-egwughị nʼonwe unu, na ubi vaịnị na ọtụtụ osisi oliv unu na-amaghị ndị kụrụ ha, mgbe unu riri ihe rijuo afọ,
houses full of goods, which you did not amass; cisterns, which you did not dig; vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant;
12 leruonu anya, ka unu ghara ichefu Onyenwe anyị, onye mere ka unu site nʼala Ijipt pụta, bụ ala ebe unu bụ ohu.
and when you will have eaten and been satisfied:
13 Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị, ka ị ga-atụ egwu, naanị ya ka ị ga-efe ofufe, ọ bụkwa aha ya ka ị ga-eji ṅụọ iyi.
take care diligently, lest you forget the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. You shall fear the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone, and you shall swear by his name.
14 Unu agbasola chi ndị ọzọ, bụ chi ndị niile a gbara unu gburugburu na-efe.
You shall not go after the strange gods of all the Gentiles, who are around you.
15 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye nọ nʼetiti unu, bụ Chineke ekworo. Ọ ga-eme ka iwe ya dị ọkụ megide unu, ọ ga-ekpochapụkwa unu site nʼelu ụwa.
For the Lord your God is a jealous God in your midst. Otherwise, at some time, the fury of the Lord your God may be enraged against you, and he may take you away from the face of the earth.
16 Anwala Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị ọnwụnwa, dịka unu nwara ya na Masa.
You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the place of temptation.
17 Lezienụ anya hụ na unu debere iwu niile na ụkpụrụ niile, na ihe ama niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nyere unu.
Keep the precepts of the Lord your God, as well as the testimonies and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.
18 Meenụ ihe ziri ezi, na nke dị mma nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ka ihe niile gaara unu nke ọma, ka unu nweekwa ike ịbanye, ma nweta ezi ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị ji ịṅụ iyi kwee nna nna unu ha na nkwa.
And do what is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, so that it may be well with you, and so that, when you enter, you may possess the excellent land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers
19 Ka unu chụpụkwa ndị iro unu niile site nʼala ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya kwuru.
that he would wipe away all your enemies before you, just as he has spoken.
20 Nʼoge na-abịa, mgbe nwa nwoke gị ga-ajụ gị sị, “Gịnị bụ isi ihe ama ndị a, na ụkpụrụ ndị a, na iwu ndị a Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị nyere unu?”
And when your son will ask you tomorrow, saying: ‘What do these testimonies and ceremonies and judgments mean, which the Lord our God has entrusted to us?’
21 Ị ga-aza ya sị, “Anyị bụrị ndị ohu Fero nʼala Ijipt, ma site nʼike ya dị ukwuu, Onyenwe anyị kpọpụtara anyị site nʼala Ijipt.
You shall say to him: ‘We were servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord led us away from Egypt with a strong hand.
22 Nʼihu anyị, Onyenwe anyị zipụrụ ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama dị iche iche na ihe ebube dị iche iche, dị ukwuu jọọkwa njọ nʼahụ Ijipt na eze Fero nakwa ndị ụlọ ya niile.
And he wrought signs and wonders, great and very grievous, in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his house, in our sight.
23 Ma o mere ka anyị site nʼIjipt pụta, ịkpọbata na inye anyị ala ahụ o ji ịṅụ iyi kwee nna nna anyị ha na nkwa.
And he led us away from that place, so that he might lead us in and give us the land, about which he swore to our fathers.
24 Nʼihi ya ka Onyenwe anyị ji nye anyị iwu ka anyị debe ụkpụrụ ndị a niile, na-atụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị egwu, ka anyị bụrụ ndị ihe ga-agara nke ọma ụbọchị niile, ndị a na-edebe ndụ, dịka ọ dị taa.
And the Lord instructed us that we should do all these ordinances, and that we should fear the Lord our God, so that it may be well with us all the days of our life, just as it is today.
25 Ọ bụrụ na anyị elezie anya debe iwu ndị a niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị nyere anyị, dịka o nyere anyị nʼiwu, anyị ga-abụ ndị na-ejegharị nʼezi omume.”
And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and perform all his precepts, in the sight of the Lord our God, just as he has commanded us.’”
