Diuteronomi 7
1 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ga-akpọbata unu nʼala ahụ unu na-abanye inweta, mgbe o si nʼihu unu chụpụ ọtụtụ mba ndị a nʼihu unu, bụ ndị Het, ndị Gigash, ndị Amọrait, ndị Kenan, ndị Periz, ndị Hiv na ndị Jebus, bụ mba asaa ndị dị ike nke ukwuu, baakwa ụba karịa unu;
And when the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land, into which thou goest to possess it, and shall remove great nations from before thee, the Chettite, and Gergesite, and Amorite, and Chananite, and Pherezite, and Evite, and Jebusite, seven nations [more] numerous and stronger than you,
2 mgbe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu nyefere ha nʼaka unu, unu meriekwa ha, lezienụ anya hụ na unu bibiri ha kpamkpam. Ka unu na ha ghara ịgba ndụ, unu emekwarala ha ebere.
and the Lord thy God shall deliver them into thy hands, then thou shalt smite them: thou shalt utterly destroy them: thou shalt not make a covenant with them, neither shall ye pity them:
3 Unu na ha alụrịtakwala di na nwunye, unu enyekwala ụmụ ha ndị ikom ụmụ unu ndị inyom ka ha lụọ, maọbụ lụtara ụmụ unu ndị ikom ụmụ ha ndị inyom.
neither shall ye contract marriages with them: thou shalt not give thy daughter to his son, and thou shalt not take his daughter to thy son.
4 Nʼihi na nke a ga-eme ka ụmụ unu site nʼiso m tụgharịa, malite ife chi ndị ọzọ. Mgbe ahụ iwe Onyenwe anyị ga-adị ọkụ megide unu, laakwa unu nʼiyi ngwangwa.
For he will draw away thy son from me, and he will serve other gods; and the Lord will be very angry with you, and will soon utterly destroy thee.
5 Kama otu a ka unu ga-eme: tikpọọnụ ebe ịchụ aja ha niile. Kụrienụ ogidi arụsị ha niile. Gbutukwaanụ osisi Ashera ha, ma suo arụsị ha niile ọkụ.
But thus shall ye do to them; ye shall destroy their altars, and shall break down their pillars, and shall cut down their groves, and shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods.
6 Nʼihi na unu bụ ndị dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu. Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ahọpụtala unu site nʼagbụrụ niile dị nʼụwa a, ka unu bụrụ ndị nke ya, ihe onwunwe ya dị oke ọnụahịa.
For thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God; and the Lord thy God chose thee to be to him a peculiar people beyond all nations that [are] upon the face of the earth.
7 Ọ bụghị nʼihi na unu dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ karịa ndị mba ọzọ, ka Onyenwe anyị ji họpụta unu, hụ unu nʼanya otu a, nʼezie unu dịkarịsịrị nta nʼọnụọgụgụ.
It was not because ye are more numerous than all [other] nations that the Lord preferred you, and the Lord made choice of you: for ye are fewer in number than all [other] nations.
8 Kama, ọ bụ nʼihi Onyenwe anyị hụrụ unu nʼanya, mezuokwa iyi ọ ṅụrụ nye nna nna unu ha, ka o ji site nʼaka ya dị ike gbapụta unu site nʼala ebe unu bụ ndị ohu, site nʼike nke Fero, bụ eze Ijipt.
But because the Lord loved you, and as keeping the oath which he sware to your fathers, the Lord brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord redeemed thee from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt.
9 Matanụ nke ọma na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu bụ Chineke. Ọ bụ Chineke kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, onye na-edebe ọgbụgba ndụ ịhụnanya ya ruo puku ọgbọ, nye ndị niile hụrụ ya nʼanya, ndị na-edebe ihe niile o nyere nʼiwu.
Thou shalt know therefore, that the Lord thy God, he [is] God, a faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for them that love him, and for those that keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
10 Ma onye kpọrọ ya asị, ọ na-eji mbibi kwụghachi ya ụgwọ nʼihu ya, ọ gaghị egbu oge ịkwụghachi onye kpọrọ ya asị ụgwọ nʼihu ha.
and who recompenses them that hate him to their face, to destroy them utterly; and will not be slack with them that hate him: he will recompense them to their face.
11 Nʼihi ya, hụ na unu debezuru iwu na ụkpụrụ ndị a m na-enye unu taa.
Thou shalt keep therefore the commands, and the ordinances, and these judgments, which I command thee this day to do.
12 Ọ bụrụ na unu elezie anya, ṅaa ntị nʼiwu ndị a, debe ha, ma mezuokwa ha, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ga-emezuru unu ọgbụgba ndụ ịhụnanya ahụ dịka ọ ṅụrụ nʼiyi nye nna nna unu ha.
And it shall come to pass when ye shall have heard these ordinances, and shall have kept and done them, that the Lord thy God shall keep for thee the covenant and the mercy, which he sware to your fathers.
13 Ọ ga-ahụ unu nʼanya, gọzie unu, meekwa ka unu baa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ọ ga-agọzi unu nʼọmụmụ, gọzie ihe ọkụkụ nke ala unu, ọka unu, na mmanya ọhụrụ unu, na mmanụ unu, na ụmụ ehi unu mụrụ, na ụmụ igwe atụrụ unu mụrụ, nʼala ahụ ọ ṅụụrụ nna nna unu ha iyi inye unu.
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; and he will bless the off-spring of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the herds of thine oxen, and the flocks of thy sheep, on the land which the Lord sware to thy fathers to give to thee.
14 A ga-agọzi unu karịa mba ndị ọzọ niile dị nʼụwa. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu, maọbụ nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ga-anọ na-amụtaghị nwa, ọ dịkwaghị anụ ụlọ unu ga-agba aka nwa.
Thou shalt be blessed beyond all nations; there shall not be among you an impotent or barren one, or among thy cattle.
15 Onyenwe anyị ga-ewepụrụ unu ọrịa niile. Ọ gaghị ekwe ka ọrịa ndị Ijipt ọbụla, nke unu na-echeta nke ọma dakwasị unu, ọrịa ndị a niile ka ọ ga-eme ka ọ bịakwasị ndị iro unu!
And the Lord thy God shall remove from thee all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou hast seen, and all that thou hast known, will he lay upon thee; but he will lay them upon all that hate thee.
16 Mba ọbụla Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu nyefere unu nʼaka ka unu ga-ala nʼiyi. Unu emerela ha ebere, unu efekwala chi niile ha, nʼihi na nke a ga-abụrụ unu ihe ịma nʼọnya.
And thou shalt eat all the spoils of the nations which the Lord thy God gives thee; thine eye shall not spare them, and thou shalt not serve their gods; for this is an offence to thee.
17 Ma eleghị anya, unu ga na-eche nʼime onwe unu sị, “Mba ndị a dị ike karịa anyị, olee otu anyị ga-esi chụpụ ha?”
But if thou shouldest say in thine heart, This nation [is] greater than I, how shall I be able to destroy them utterly?
18 Ma unu atụla egwu! Naanị chetanụ ihe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu mere Fero na ndị Ijipt niile.
thou shalt not fear them; thou shalt surely remember all that the Lord thy God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians:
19 Unu ji anya unu hụ ọnwụnwa ukwuu niile, ihe ịrịbama niile na ihe ebube niile, nʼaka ahụ dị ike na ogwe aka esetipụrụ esetipụ, nke Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ji kpọpụta unu. Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ga-emekwa otu ihe ahụ nʼebe ndị niile a unu na-atụ egwu ugbu a.
the great temptations which thine eyes have seen, those signs and great wonders, the strong hand, and the high arm; how the Lord thy God brought thee forth: so the Lord your God will do to all the nations, whom thou fearest in their presence.
20 Karịsịa, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ga-ezipụ ebu nʼetiti ha tutu ruo mgbe ọ bụladị ndị fọdụrụ ndụ, ndị ahụ ga-ezo onwe ha site nʼebe unu nọ, ghọrọ ndị e bibiri.
And the Lord thy God shall send against them the hornets, until they that are left and they that are hidden from thee be utterly destroyed.
21 Unu amala jijiji nʼihu ha, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, onye nọ nʼetiti unu bụ Chineke dị ukwuu, dịkwa egwu.
Thou shalt not be wounded before them, because the Lord thy God in the midst of thee [is] a great and powerful God.
22 Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, ga-achụpụ mba ndị a ntakịrị ntakịrị. Ọ gaghị ekwe ka unu chụpụ ha otu ugboro, ma ọ bụghị ya, ụmụ anụ ọhịa ọjọọ ga-amụba megide unu.
And the Lord thy God shall consume these nations before thee by little and little: thou shalt not be able to consume them speedily, lest the land become desert, and the wild beasts of the field be multiplied against thee.
23 Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-enyefe ha nʼaka unu, ọ ga-etinye ha oke ọgbaaghara nʼobi, tutu ruo mgbe ha lara nʼiyi.
And the Lord thy God shall deliver them into thy hands, and thou shalt destroy them with a great destruction, until ye shall have utterly destroyed them.
24 Eze ha niile ka ọ ga-enyefe nʼaka unu, unu ga-ehichapụkwa aha ha nʼelu ụwa. Ọ dịkwaghị onye pụrụ iguzo nʼihu unu, nʼihi na unu ga-ebibi ha niile.
And he shall deliver their kings into your hands, and ye shall destroy their name from that place; none shall stand up in opposition before thee, until thou shalt have utterly destroyed them.
25 Kpọọnụ arụsị niile nke apịrị apị nke chi niile ha ọkụ. Unu enwela anya ukwu nʼebe ọlaọcha maọbụ ọlaedo dị ha nʼahụ dị. Unu ewerela ya ka ọ bụrụ nke unu, ka unu ghara ịbụ ndị ọ matara nʼọnya, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe arụ nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu.
Ye shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods: thou shalt not covet [their] silver, neither shalt thou take to thyself gold from them, lest thou shouldest offend thereby, because it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
26 Unu ewebatala ihe arụ ọbụla nʼụlọ unu, ka unu ghara ịbụ ihe e debere iche nye mbibi dịka ya. Kpọọnụ ihe arụ ahụ asị, ledakwanụ ya anya, nʼihi na ihe e debere iche nye mbibi ka ọ bụ.
And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thine house, so shouldest thou be an accursed thing like it; thou shalt utterly hate it, and altogether abominate it, because it is an accursed thing.
