Diuteronomi 8
1 Lezie anya hụ na i debezuru iwu ndị a niile m nyere gị taa. Ọ bụrụ na i debe ha, ọ bụghị naanị na ị ga-adị ndụ, kama ị ga-amụba, banyekwa inweta ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwere nna nna gị ha na nkwa.
All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
2 Chetakwa otu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị si duo gị nʼime ọzara iri afọ anọ ndị a niile. O wedara mmụọ gị ala, nwakwaa gị ọnwụnwa ịmata ihe dị gị nʼobi, ịchọpụta ma ị ga-edebekwa iwu ya.
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3 E, o wedatara mmụọ gị ala mgbe o mere ka ihe oriri kọ gị, mgbe o mere ka i rie mánà, nri ahụ gị na nna gị na-amaghị ihe ọ bụ. O mere nke a igosi gị na izi gị na ọ bụghị naanị achịcha ka mmadụ ga-eji dị ndụ, kama ọ bụ nʼokwu niile nke si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị pụta.
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
4 Iri afọ anọ ndị a niile, uwe gị akaghị nka, ụkwụ gị azakwaghị aza.
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5 Nʼihi ya, mata nke a nʼobi gị, na dịka nna si adọ nwa ya aka na ntị, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị si adọ gị aka na ntị.
And thou shalt consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
6 Debe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị. Na-ejegharị ije nʼụzọ ya, ma na-atụkwa ya egwu.
And thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-ewebata gị nʼala mara mma, bụ ala nwere iyi, na ọdọ mmiri, ala nwere mmiri nke si nʼime ya na-asọpụta asọgharị nʼugwu na ndagwurugwu,
For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths, springing forth in valleys and hills;
8 ọ bụ ala na-epu ọka wiiti na ọka balị, na osisi vaịnị, na osisi fiig, na osisi pomegranet, na mmanụ oliv, na mmanụ aṅụ.
a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of oil olives and honey;
9 Ọ bụkwa ala jupụtara nʼihe oriri, ebe a na-agaghị enwe ụkọ nri. Ọ bụ ala ebe igwe jupụtara nʼime ya dị ka ha bụ nkume, ala ebe ọla jupụtakwara nʼugwu ya niile.
a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10 Mgbe i riri rijuo afọ, too Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nʼihi ala mara mma nke o nyere gị.
And thou shalt eat and be full, and thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11 Ma lezie anya ka ị ghara ichefu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, na-edebeghị iwu ya niile, na ikpe ya niile, na ụkpụrụ ya niile, nke m na-enye gị taa.
Beware lest thou forget the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12 Ka ọ ghara ị bụ, mgbe i riri rijuru afọ, mgbe i wuuru onwe gị ezi ụlọ dị mma birikwa nʼime ha,
lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 mgbe igwe ehi na igwe atụrụ gị mụbara, mgbe ọlaọcha na ọlaedo gị mụbara, na mgbe ihe niile i nwere mụbara.
and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14 Kpachara anya hụ na nganga abanyeghị gị nʼobi, ime ka i chefuo Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị onye mere ka ị site nʼIjipt, sitekwa nʼala ịbụ ohu pụta.
then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
15 Onye duuru gị nʼime ọzara ukwu ahụ dị egwu, ebe agwọ ọjọọ na akpị jupụtara, ebe na-ekpo ọkụ, nke mmiri na-adịghị. O sitere na nkume nye gị mmiri ọṅụṅụ
who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16 O ji mánà nyejuo gị afọ nʼọzara, mánà ahụ nna gị ha na-amaghị ihe ọ bụ na mbụ. O mere ya nʼihi iweda mmụọ gị ala, na ịnwale gị, ka ihe si otu a gaara gị nke ọma.
who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end:
17 I nwere ike kwuo sị, “Ọ bụ site nʼike aka m ka m ji baa ụba.”
and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18 Ma cheta Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, nʼihi na ọ bụ ya onwe ya na-enye gị ike i ji akpata akụ, ime ka ọgbụgba ndụ ya guzosie ike, bụ nke ọ ṅụrụ nna nna gị ha nʼiyi, dịka ọ dị taa.
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as at this day.
19 Ma ọ bụrụ na i chefuo Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị, gbasoo chi ndị ọzọ, fee ha ofufe ma kpọọkwa isiala nye ha, ana m agba ama megide gị taa na ị ghaghị ịla nʼiyi.
And it shall be, if thou shalt forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 Ọ bụrụ na unu egeghị ntị nʼolu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, ime ihe ọ chọrọ, ọ ga-ala unu nʼiyi, dịka o si bibie mba ndị a niile dị iche iche ọ na-ebibi nʼihi unu.
As the nations which the LORD maketh to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God.
