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 unto you idols, —neither image nor pillar, shall ye set up for yourselves, nor sculptured stone, shall ye place in your land, to bow yourselves down thereunto, -For, I Yahweh, am your God.

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

My sabbaths, shall ye observe, And, my sanctuary, shall ye revere, —I, am Yahweh.

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

If, in my statutes, ye will walk, —And my commandments, ye will observe, 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 your rains in their season, —And the land shall yield her increase, And, the trees of the field, shall yield their 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.

Then shall your threshing reach unto the vintage, And, the vintage, shall reach unto the seedtime, —And ye shall eat your food to the full, And shall dwell securely 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, and nothing shall make you afraid; And I will take away vicious beasts out of the land; And, the sword, shall not go 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 foes, —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 put ten thousand to flight, —So shall your foes 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 unto you, And make you fruitful, —And multiply you, And 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 old store well seasoned, —And the old from before the new, shall ye put forth.

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

And I will set my habitation in your midst, —And my soul shall not abhor you;

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

But I will walk to and fro in your midst, And will be unto you a God, And, ye, shall be unto 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—Yahweh, am your God who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; so I brake in pieces the staves of your yoke, and caused you to walk, erect.

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 refuse, And, my regulations, your souls shall abhor, —So that ye will not do all my commandments, But shall 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.

I also, will do this unto you—I will set over you, for terror, consumption and fever, Causing the eyes to fail and the soul to pine away, —And ye shall sow, in vain, your seed, for it shall be eaten by your foes.

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 smitten before your foes, -And be trodden down by them who hate you, And shall flee when no one is 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 even with these things, ye will not hearken unto me, Then will I yet further correct you seven times, 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.

So will I break your pomp of power, And will set your heavens as iron, and your land as bronze;

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 your strength shall be spent in vain, —And your land shall not yield her increase, And the trees of the land, shall not yield their 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.

If therefore, ye will go in opposition to me, And not be willing to hearken unto me, Then will I yet further plague you seven times 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 will send among you the wild-beast of the field And it shall rob you of your children, And cut off your cattle, And make you few in number; And your roads shall be silent.

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, by these things, ye will not be corrected by me, —But will go in opposition to 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, go in opposition to you. And, I, even I, will plague you seven times 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 will bring in upon you a sword that shall inflict the covenanted avenging: So shall ye be gathered into your cities, —Then will I send a pestilence into your midst, And ye shall be delivered into the hand of an 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 have broken your staff of bread, then shall ten women bake your bread in one oven, And give back your bread by weight, —And ye shall eat and not be filled.

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

And, if, with this, ye will not hearken to me, —But will go in opposition to me,

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

Then will I go in a rage of opposition to you, —And I, even I, will correct you seven times 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, —Yea, even 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-pillars, And cast your carcases upon the carcases of your manufactured gods, —Thus shall my soul abhor 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 give your cities unto desolation, And make your holy places dumb, —And will find no fragrance in your satisfying odour;

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 make the land dumb, And your foes that dwell therein shall regard it with dumb amazement:

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.

When, even you, I scatter among the nations, And make bare after you, a sword, Then shall your land become an astonishment, And your cities become a desolation.

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 be paid her sabbaths, All the days she lieth desolate, While, ye, are in the land of your foes, —Then, shall the land keep sabbath, And pay off her 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 she lieth desolate, shall she keep sabbath, —the which she kept not as your sabbaths, —while ye dwelt thereupon.

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 as for such as are left of you, Then will I bring faintness into their heart, in the lands of their foes, —So that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, And they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword And they shall fall, when no one is 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 upon another as from before a sword, when, pursuer there is none; And ye shall not have wherewith to stand before your foes;

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

And ye shall perish among the nations, —And the land of your foes shall eat you up;

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 who are left of you, shall melt away in their iniquity, in the lands of your foes; Yea also, in the iniquity of their fathers with them, shall they melt away.

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,

Then shall they confess their iniquity, And the iniquity of their fathers, In their unfaithfulness wherewith they had been unfaithful towards me; Yea moreover, because they had gone in opposition to 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, must needs go in opposition to them, and bring them into the land of their foes, —Save only that, if, even then, their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, And, even then, they shall accept as a payment the punishment of 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.

Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob Yea moreover, my covenant with Isaac, Yea moreover, 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 left of them, And shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them, They also, accepting, as a payment, the punishment of their iniquity, Because, yea because, my regulations, they refused, And my statutes, their soul abhorred.

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 even so when they are in the land of their foes I have not refused them Neither have I abhorred them To make an end of them, To break my covenant with them, —For, I—Yahweh, am 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.’”

Therefore will I remember in their behalf the covenant of their ancestors, —Whom, I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God—I—Yahweh.

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 the regulations and the laws, which Yahweh granted between himself, and the sons of Israel, —in Mount Sinai by the mediation of Moses.
