Levitikọs 26

1 “‘Unu emerela onwe unu arụsị ọbụla, maọbụ guzobe oyiyi apịrị apị, maọbụ ogidi nkume ọbụla ọtọ, nye onwe unu. Unu edokwala nkume a pịrị apị ọbụla nʼala unu maka ịkpọ isiala nye ya. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.

Ye shall not make yourselves any idols, and a graven image, or a standing image shall ye not rear up unto you, and any carved stone shall you not place in your land, to bow down upon it; for I am the Eternal your God.

2 “‘Debenụ iwu niile m nyere maka ụbọchị Izuike m, sọpụkwaranụ ebe nsọ m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.

My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.

3 “‘Ọ bụrụ na unu ejegharịa nʼụkpụrụ m, lezie anya debe iwu m niile,

If in my statutes ye walk, and if my commandments ye keep, and do them:

4 aga m enye unu mmiri ozuzo nʼoge ya, nke ga-eme ka ala unu mịa ọtụtụ ihe ubi. Osisi unu niile ga-ejupụtakwa na mkpụrụ mgbe niile.

Then will I give you rains in their due season, and the earth shall yield her products, and the tree of the field shall yield its fruit.

5 Unu ga-anọgide na-azọcha ọka tutu ruo mgbe unu ga-aghọ mkpụrụ vaịnị unu, owuwe ihe ubi mkpụrụ vaịnị unu ga-adịgidekwa ruo oge ịkụ mkpụrụ nʼubi. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu ga-enwe nri ga-ezuru unu, unu ga-ebikwa nʼudo nʼala unu.

And the threshing shall reach with you unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and ye shall dwell in safety in your land.

6 “‘Aga m eme ka udo dịrị nʼala ahụ, unu ga-edina ala, ọ dịghịkwa onye ga-eme ka unu tụọ egwu ọbụla. Aga m ewezuga site nʼetiti unu ajọ anụ ọhịa, mma agha agaghị esitekwa nʼala unu bi nʼime ya gafee.

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, with none to make you afraid; and I will remove evil beasts out of the land, and the sword shall not pass through your land.

7 Unu ga-achụ ndị iro unu ọsọ. Ha ga-ada nʼihu unu site na mma agha.

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

8 Mmadụ ise nʼime unu ga-achụ narị mmadụ ọsọ. Narị mmadụ nʼetiti unu ga-achụkwa iri puku mmadụ ọsọ. Ndị iro unu ga-ada nʼihu unu site na mma agha.

And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 “‘Aga m eji ihuọma leta unu, mee ka unu mụbaa ma jupụta nʼọnụọgụgụ. Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ m nʼebe unu nọ dịgide.

And I will turn myself unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and I will establish my covenant with you.

10 Unu ga-enwebiga mkpụrụ ubi oke ruo na mgbe unu ka nọ na-eri ndị ochie unu ga-ewezuga ha nʼakụkụ maka inye ohere iwebata ihe ubi ọhụrụ.

And ye shall eat very old store, and the old shall ye remove away because of the new.

11 Aga m eme ka ebe obibi m dịrị nʼetiti unu. Agaghị m asọ unu oyi.

And I will set my dwelling among you; and my soul shall not loath you.

12 Aga m ejegharị nʼetiti unu, bụrụ Chineke unu, unu ga-abụkwa ndị m.

And I will walk among you, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people.

13 Nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt, ka unu ghara ịbụ ndị ohu ọzọ. Etijiela m mkpọrọ igwe nke ịbụ ohu unu, mee ka unu bụrụ ndị ji nganga ejegharị.

I am the Eternal your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bond-men; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and caused you to walk upright.

14 “‘Ma ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ ige m ntị, jụkwa imezu ihe ndị a m nyere unu iwu ya,

But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

15 ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ ịgbaso ụkpụrụ m, sọọ iwu m ndị a oyi, si otu a mebie ọgbụgba ndụ m,

And if my statutes ye despise, and if my ordinances your soul loath, so as not to do all my commandments, in that ye break my covenant:

16 mgbe ahụ, aga m eme ka oke ụjọ, na ọrịa na-ebibi ebibi, na ahụ ọkụ, bịakwasị unu. Ọrịa ndị a ga-eme ka anya unu daa mba, ọ ga-eripịakwa anụ ahụ unu. Unu ga-akụ mkpụrụ ubi nʼubi unu ma ndị iro unu ga-eri ha.

Then will I also do this unto you, and I will inflict on you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow in vain your seed, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 Aga m eguzo megide unu nʼoge ibu agha, mee ka ndị iro unu merie unu nʼagha. Unu ga-agba ọsọ mgbe onye ọbụla na-adịghị achụ unu ọsọ. Ndị kpọrọ unu asị ga-achịkwa unu.

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be struck down before your enemies: and they that hate you shall bear rule over you; and ye shall flee while there is no one pursuing you.

18 “‘Ọ bụrụ na unu anọgidesie ike ju ige m ntị nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a, aga m enye unu ntaramahụhụ dị okpukpu asaa nʼihi mmehie unu.

And if with these things even ye will not yet hearken unto me: then will I chastise you yet more, sevenfold for your sins.

19 Aga m etiji ịnya isi nganga unu, mee ka mbara eluigwe dịịrị unu dịka igwe, elu ala unu na-azọkwasị ụkwụ ga-adịkwa dịka bronz.

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as copper:

20 Unu ga-adọgbu onwe unu nʼọrụ nʼefu, nʼihi na ala unu agaghị emepụtara unu ihe omume ya, osisi nke ala unu agaghị amịkwa mkpụrụ ya.

And in vain shall your strength be spent; for your land shall not yield her products, and the tree of the land shall not yield its fruit.

21 “‘Ọ bụrụkwa na mgbe nke a mesịrị, unu anọgidekwa jụ ime ihe m nyere nʼiwu, aga m eme ka ntaramahụhụ unu dịrị ukwuu, ugboro asaa ọzọ, nʼihi mmehie unu.

And if ye walk yet contrary unto me, and if you refuse to hearken unto me: then will I bring more plagues upon you, sevenfold according to your sins.

22 Aga m ezite anụ ọhịa megide unu. Ha ga-adọgbu ụmụ unu, bibie anụ ụlọ unu, meekwa ka unu dị nta nʼọnụọgụgụ, ruo na ndị a ga-ahụ nʼokporoụzọ unu ga-adị ole na ole.

And I will send out against you the beasts of the field, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and diminish yourselves; so that your roads shall be desolate.

23 “‘Ọ bụrụkwa na unu anọgide jụ ịdọ aka na ntị m, chie ntị nọgide na-ebu agha nnupu isi unu megide m,

And if notwithstanding these things ye will not be reformed by me, and walk contrary unto me:

24 mụ onwe m ga-ebu agha megide unu. Aga m eti unu ugbo ihe otiti asaa, nʼihi mmehie unu.

Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and I also will punish you, sevenfold for your sins.

25 Aga m ewebata mma agha nʼebe unu nọ, ịbọ ọbọ nʼihi ọgbụgba ndụ m unu mebiri. Mgbe unu ga-agba ọsọ gbaba nʼobodo unu, aga m ezite ihe mbibi ga-ebibi unu nʼebe ahụ. Aga m enyefekwa unu nʼaka ndị iro unu.

And I will bring over you the sword, avenging the quarrel of my covenant, so that ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and then will I send the pestilence among you, that ye shall deliver yourselves into the hand of the enemy;

26 Aga m eme ka unu hapụ inwe ihe oriri ga-ezuru unu. Otu ite nri naanị ka ndị inyom iri ga-eji sie nri ha nwere. Ha ga-eji ihe ọtụtụ tụọ ya mgbe ha na-eke ya. Unu ga-eri ya, ma afọ agaghị eju unu.

When I break unto you the staff of bread; and ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 “‘Ọ bụrụkwa na unu agaa nʼihu jụ ige m ntị nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a, nọgide na-emegide m,

And if notwithstanding this ye will not hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me:

28 mgbe ahụ, aga m egosi unu oke iwe m, nye unu ntaramahụhụ dị okpukpu asaa nʼihi mmehie unu.

Then will I also walk contrary unto you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you, sevenfold for your sins.

29 Unu ga-eri anụ ụmụ unu ndị ikom, na anụ ụmụ unu ndị inyom.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

30 Aga m ebibikwa ụlọ arụsị unu niile dị nʼelu ugwu, gbutuo ebe ịchụ aja niile unu na-esure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi. Aga m atụkọta ozu unu nʼelu arụsị unu na-enweghị ume ndụ, ka unu bụrụ ihe m na-asọ oyi.

And I will destroy your high-places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and my soul shall loath you.

31 Aga m eme ka obodo unu niile tọgbọrọ nʼefu, kụdasịakwa ebe nsọ unu niile. Agaghị m anabatakwa isisi ụtọ nke aja unu.

And I will render your cities a waste, and I will make desolate your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.

32 Aga m eme ka ala unu tọgbọrọ nʼefu, mee ka ọnọdụ ịdị ala unu bụrụ ihe ga-eju ndị iro unu ga-ebi nʼime ya anya.

And I will surely make desolate the land: and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

33 Aga m achụsa unu na mba niile, mịpụta mma agha m jiri ya chụso unu ọsọ. Ala unu ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu, a ga-etikpọkwa obodo unu niile.

And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out after you the sword; and your land shall be a desolate wild, and your cities shall be a waste.

34 Mgbe ahụ, ala ahụ ga-ezu ike, ogologo oge ndị ahụ niile ọ ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu. Mgbe unu ga-anọ dịka ndị ohu nʼala ndị iro unu. Ala ahụ ga-ezu ike, imejupụta afọ izuike ya niile.

Then shall the land satisfy its sabbaths, all the days of its desolation, when ye are in the land of your enemies: then shall the land rest, and satisfy its sabbaths.

35 Ogologo oge niile ala ahụ tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ala ahụ ga-ezu ike, ụdị izuike ọ na-enweghị nʼafọ izuike ndị ahụ unu bi nʼime ya.

All the days of its desolation shall it rest, the time which it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

36 “‘Ma ndị ahụ fọdụrụ ndụ nʼime unu, aga m etinye ịda mba nʼobi ha nʼala ndị iro ha. Mkpọtụ ahịhịa nke ifufe na-ebugharị ga-eme ka ha gbapụ ọsọ. Ha ga-agba ọsọ dịka ndị si nʼihu mma agha na-agba ọsọ. Ha ga-ada mgbe onye ọbụla na-adịghị achụ ha ọsọ.

And regarding those that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from the sword; and they shall fall with none pursuing.

37 Nʼezie, ha ga-agba ọsọ mgbe onye ọbụla na-adịghị achụ ha ọsọ. Ha ga-adagide ibe ha mgbe ha na-agba ọsọ a, dịka ndị si nʼebe a na-alụ agha na-agbapụ ọsọ. Unu agaghị enwe ike iguzo nʼihu ndị iro unu.

And they shall stumble one over the other, as before the sword, without one pursuing: and ye shall have no power to stand up before your enemies.

38 Unu ga-ala nʼiyi nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ, ala ndị iro unu ga-eri unu.

And ye shall be lost among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall consume you.

39 Ndị ahụ a hapụrụ na ndụ nʼetiti unu ga-ata ahụhụ nʼala ndị iro ha nʼihi mmehie ha. Ha ga-atakwa ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie nke nna nna ha.

And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in the land of your enemies; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

40 “‘Ma ọ bụrụ na ha ekwupụta mmehie ha niile, na mmehie niile nke ndị nna nna na ha na ha mehiere megide m, mmehie ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ha, na mmehie nnupu isi ha, nke ha mehiere megide m,

And they shall then confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, [that] through their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that [because] they had walked contrary unto me:

41 nke mere ka m doo onwe m imegide ha, na izipụ ha gaa nʼala ndị iro ha, ọ bụrụ na ha eweda onwe ha ala nabata ntaramahụhụ m nyere ha nʼihi mmehie ha

I also had to walk contrary unto them, and to bring them into the land of their enemies; and then shall their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and then shall they satisfy their iniquity.

42 aga m echeta ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na Jekọb gbara, ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na Aịzik gbara, na ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na Ebraham gbara. Aga m echeta ala ahụ.

And I will then remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and the land will I remember.

43 Ma ala ahụ aghaghị ịtọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọ ghakwaghị inwezu izuike ruuru ya, oge ndị ahụ ọ tọgbọrọ nʼefu, mgbe ha na-ebighị nʼime ya. Ha ga-anata ntaramahụhụ ruuru ha nʼihi na ha jụrụ iwu m, sọọkwa ụkpụrụ m oyi.

For the land shall be forsaken by them, and shall satisfy its sabbaths, while it lieth desolate without them, and they shall satisfy their iniquity; because, even because my ordinances they despised, and my statutes their soul loathed.

44 Ma ewezugakwa ihe ndị a niile, agaghị m ajụ ha, maọbụ sọọ ha oyi, ruo na ibibi ha kpamkpam mgbe ahụ ha nọ nʼala ndị iro ha. Agakwaghị m emebi ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na ha gbara nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha.

And yet for all that, though they be in the land of their enemies, will I not cast them away, neither will I loath them, to destroy them utterly, to break my covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God.

45 Kama nʼihi ha, aga m echeta ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ mụ na nna nna ha gbara, ịbụ Chineke ha, ndị ahụ m kpọpụtara site nʼala Ijipt nʼihu mba niile. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.’”

But I will remember for their sakes the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be unto them a God: I am the Lord.

46 Ndị a bụ iwu, na ụkpụrụ na ndụmọdụ Onyenwe anyị guzobere nʼugwu Saịnaị, nʼetiti ya onwe ya, na ụmụ Izrel, site nʼaka Mosis.

These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel on mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
