Diuteronomi 9
1 Nụrụ, Izrel! Taa ka ị na-aga ịgafe osimiri Jọdan ịbanye ka inweta ala mba ndị dị ukwuu na ndị dị ike karịa gị, inweta obodo ndị dị ukwuu nke nwere mgbidi ha dị elu ruo nʼeluigwe.
Heare O Israel, Thou shalt passe ouer Iorden this day, to goe in and to possesse nations greater and mightier then thy selfe, and cities great and walled vp to heauen,
2 Ndị bi nʼime ha bụ ndị Anak, ndị gbara dimkpa, too ogologo nke ukwuu. Ị maara banyere ha. Ị nụkwaala ka e kwuru sị, “Onye pụrụ iguzo onwe ya nʼihu ụmụ Anak?”
A people great and tall, euen the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak?
3 Ma mata taa na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị bụ onye na-aga nʼihu gị dịka ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa. Ọ ga-ala ha nʼiyi. Ọ bụkwa ya ga-eme ka unu lụgbuo ha, chụpụ ha, bibiekwa ha ngwangwa dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere gị na nkwa.
Vnderstand therefore that this day ye Lord thy God is he which goeth ouer before thee as a consuming fire: he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them downe before thy face: so thou shalt cast them out and destroy them suddenly, as the Lord hath said vnto thee.
4 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị sitere nʼihu gị chụpụ ha, asịla onwe gị, “Onyenwe anyị akpọbatala m nʼebe a, ka m nweta ala a nʼihi ezi omume m.” Mba, ọ bụ naanị nʼihi ajọ omume nke mba ndị a bi nʼala ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị ji esite nʼihu gị chụpụ ha.
Speake not thou in thine heart (after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out before thee) saying, For my righteousnesse the Lord hath brought me in, to possesse this land: but for the wickednesse of these nations the Lord hath cast them out before thee.
5 Ọ bụghị nʼihi ezi omume gị, maọbụ izi ezi nke obi gị ka ị ga-eji nweta ala ahụ, kama ọ bụ nʼihi ajọ omume nke mba ndị a bi nʼime ya ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-eji achụpụ ha site nʼihu gị. Ọ na-emekwa ya nʼihi imezu nkwa ahụ o kwere nna nna gị ha bụ Ebraham, Aịzik, na Jekọb.
For thou entrest not to inherite their lande for thy righteousnesse, or for thy vpright heart: but for the wickednesse of those nations, the Lord thy God doth cast them out before thee, and that he might performe the worde which the Lord thy God sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iacob.
6 Ya mere, ghọta ya nke ọma na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị anaghị enye gị ezi ala a ka inweta ya nʼihi ezi omume gị, nʼihi na unu bụ ndị isiike.
Vnderstand therefore, that ye Lord thy God giueth thee not this good land to possesse it for thy righteousnes: for thou art a stifnecked people.
7 Chetakwa nke a ma echefukwala otu i si kpasuo Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị iwe, mgbe mgbe, nʼime ọzara. Site nʼụbọchị ị hapụrụ Ijipt tutu ruo taa, ka ị na-enupu isi nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ.
Remember, and forget not, howe thou prouokedst the Lord thy God to anger in the wildernesse: since the day that thou diddest depart out of the land of Egypt, vntill ye came vnto this place ye haue rebelled against the Lord.
8 Unu kpasuru Onyenwe anyị iwe nʼugwu Horeb, ya mere o jiri were iwe laa unu nʼiyi.
Also in Horeb ye prouoked the Lord to anger so that the Lord was wroth with you, euen to destroy you.
9 Mgbe m rigooro nʼelu ugwu ahụ ịnata mbadamba nkume ndị ahụ bụ mbadamba nkume ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti Onyenwe anyị na unu, anọrọ m nʼelu ugwu ahụ iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị, ọ dịghị nri m riri, ọ dịghịkwa mmiri m ṅụrụ.
When I was gone vp into the mount, to receiue the tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant, which the Lord made with you: and I abode in the mount fourtie daies and fourtie nights, and I neither ate bread nor yet dranke water:
10 Onyenwe anyị nyere m mbadamba nkume abụọ ndị ahụ, nke eji mkpịsịaka Chineke dee. Edekwasịrị nʼelu ha iwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị gwara unu nʼugwu ahụ site nʼetiti ọkụ, nʼụbọchị mkpọkọta ahụ.
Then the Lord deliuered me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, and in them was conteyned according to all the wordes which the Lord had said vnto you in the mount out of the middes of the fire, in the day of the assemblie.
11 Mgbe iri abalị anọ gwụrụ Onyenwe anyị nyere m mbadamba nkume abụọ ndị ahụ, bụ mbadamba nkume ọgbụgba ndụ.
And when the fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes were ended, the Lord gaue me the two tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant.
12 Mgbe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị gwara m sị m, “Rịdata ọsịịsọ, nʼihi na ndị gị, ndị i si nʼIjipt dupụta, emerụọla onwe ha, ha emeela ngwangwa iwezuga onwe ha site nʼiwu m nyere ha. Ha emeerela onwe ha nwa ehi a kpụrụ akpụ, ka ọ bụrụ chi ha.”
And the Lord said vnto me, Arise, get thee downe quickly from hence: for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, haue corrupt their wayes: they are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: they haue made them a molten image.
13 Onyenwe anyị gwara m sị, “Ahụla m na ndị a bụ ndị isiike nʼezie.
Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto me, saying, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stifnecked people.
14 Hapụ m, ka m kpochapụ ma hichapụkwa aha ha site nʼokpuru eluigwe. Aga m emekwa gị ka ị ghọọ mba dị ike karịa, dịkwa ọtụtụ nʼọnụọgụgụ karịa ha.”
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and put out their name from vnder heaue, and I wil make of thee a mightie nation, and greater then they be.
15 Ya mere, atụgharịrị m malite isi nʼugwu ahụ na-enwu ọkụ rịdata, ejikwa m mbadamba nkume abụọ nke ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nʼaka m.
So I returned, and came downe from the Mount (and the Mount burnt with fire, and ye two Tables of the couenant were in my two handes)
16 Mgbe m lepụrụ anya, ahụrụ m na unu emeela mmehie megide Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu. Unu akpụọlara onwe unu arụsị nʼụdị nwa ehi. Unu esitela nʼịgbaso iwu Onyenwe anyị wezuga onwe unu ọsịịsọ.
Then I looked, and beholde, ye had sinned against the Lord your God: for ye had made you a molten calfe, and had turned quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
17 Mgbe ahụ, ewere m mbadamba nkume abụọ ahụ, tụpụ ha site nʼaka m abụọ, kụrie ha nʼihu unu.
Therefore I tooke the two Tables, and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before your eyes.
18 Mgbe ahụ, adara m nʼala ọzọ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị, erighị m nri maọbụ ṅụọ ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbụla, nʼihi mmehie niile unu mere. Unu mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị si otu a kpasuo ya iwe nke ukwuu.
And I fell downe before the Lord, fourtie dayes, and fourtie nightes, as before: I neither ate bread nor dranke water, because of al your sinnes, which ye had committed, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, in that ye prouoked him vnto wrath.
19 Atụrụ m egwu iwe na ọnụma nke Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na iwe ya dị ukwuu megide unu ruo na ikpochapụ unu. Ma nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gere ntị nʼarịrịọ m.
(For I was afraide of the wrath and indignation, wherewith the Lord was mooued against you, euen to destroy you) yet the Lord heard me at that time also.
20 Nʼoge ahụ, Erọn nʼonwe ya, nọrọ nʼoke nsogbu, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị were iwe megide ya, chọọ ibibi ya, ma arịọrọ m Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ nʼihi ya.
Likewise ye Lord was very angrie with Aaron, euen to destroy him: but at that time I prayed also for Aaron.
21 Mgbe ahụ, eweere m ngwa ọrụ mmehie unu, ya bụ nwa ehi ahụ unu kpụrụ, kpọọ ya ọkụ, tipịa ya, gwerie ya nke ọma dịka ntụ, wụnye ntụ ya nʼime mmiri nke si nʼugwu na-asọpụta.
And I tooke your sinne, I meane the calfe which ye had made, and burnt him with fire, and stamped him and ground him small, euen vnto very dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the riuer, that descended out of the mount.
22 Ọzọkwa, unu kpasuru Onyenwe anyị iwe na Tabera, na Masa, ọ bụladị na Kibrọt Hataava.
Also in Taberah, and in Massah and in Kibrothhattaauah ye prouoked ye Lord to anger.
23 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị si na Kadesh Banea zipụ unu ọ sị unu, “Gaanụ nweta ala ahụ m nyere unu.” Ma unu nupuru isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nyere unu. Unu ekwenyeghị maọbụ rubere ya isi.
Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Goe vp, and possesse the land which I haue giuen you, then ye rebelled against the commandement of the Lord your God, and beleeued him not, nor hearkened vnto his voyce.
24 Site nʼụbọchị m maara ndị unu bụ, ọ dịbeghị mgbe unu na-enupughị isi nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ.
Ye haue bene rebellious vnto the Lord, since the day that I knewe you.
25 Ọ bụ ya mere m jiri daa nʼala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-ala unu nʼiyi.
Then I fell downe before ye Lord fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, as I fell downe before, because ye Lord had said, that he woulde destroy you.
26 Ekpere m ekpere nʼoge ahụ nye Onyenwe anyị sị ya, “Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị biko, alala ndị gị nʼiyi, nʼihi na ha bụ ihe nketa gị, bụrụkwa ndị i ji ike aka gị na ebube gị gbapụta site nʼIjipt.
And I prayed vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatnesse, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt by a mightie hand.
27 Elekwasịla nnupu isi ha na isiike ha anya, kama, cheta nkwa gị, nke i kwere ndị ohu gị, Ebraham, Aịzik, na Jekọb. Biko, agụnyela ndụ ọjọọ ha, na mmehie ha megide ha.
Remember thy seruants Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: looke not to ye stubburnes of this people, nor to their wickednes, nor to their sinne,
28 Ma ọ bụghị otu a, ndị obodo ahụ nke i si na ya kpọpụta anyị ga-asị, ‘Ọ bụ nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị apụghị inye ha ala o kwere ha na nkwa ka o ji laa ha nʼiyi. Nʼihi na ọ kpọrọ ha asị, ka o ji kpọbata ha nʼime ọzara mee ka ha nwụọ nʼebe ahụ.’
Lest the countrey, whence thou broughtest them, say, Because ye Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, or because he hated them, he caried them out, to slay them in the wildernesse.
29 Ma ha bụ ndị gị, ha bụkwa ihe nketa gị. Ha bụ ndị i sitere nʼike gị dị egwu na ike nke aka gị kpọpụta site nʼIjipt.”
Yet they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mightie power, and by thy stretched out arme.
