Deuteronomy 21
1 If one be founde slaine in the lande, which the Lord thy God giueth thee to possesse it, lying in the field, and it is not knowe who hath slaine him,
Mgbe ị batara nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị inweta, biri nʼime ya, ọ bụrụ na ị hụ otu onye e gburu egbu ka ọ tọgbọ nʼime ọhịa, ma ị maghị onye gburu ya,
2 Then thine Elders and thy Iudges shall come forth, and measure vnto the cities that are round about him that is slayne.
ndị okenye gị, na ndị ikpe ga-apụta, tụọ ịdị anya nke obodo niile dị gburugburu ọhịa ahụ, site nʼebe ahụ onye ahụ e gburu egbu tọgbọ.
3 Aud let ye Elders of that citie, which is next vnto the slaine man, take out of the droue an heifer that hath not bene put to labour, nor hath drawen in the yoke.
Ndị okenye obodo ahụ ga-ewere nwa nne ehi a na-ejibeghị rụọ ọrụ, maọbụ nyara yoku ọbụla
4 And let the Elders of that citie bring the heifer vnto a stonie valley, which is neyther eared nor sowen, and strike off the heifers necke there in the valley.
ha ga-eduru ya gaa na ndagwurugwu nke mmiri na-eru nʼime ya, ndagwurugwu a na-egwuzebeghị mgbe ọbụla ịrụ ọrụ ubi nʼime ya, nke a na-akụghị mkpụrụ nʼime ya, gbajie olu nwaagbọghọ ehi ahụ nʼebe ahụ.
5 Also the Priests the sonnes of Leui (whom the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister, and to blesse in the name of the Lord) shall come forth, and by their word shall all strife and plague be tried.
Ndị nchụaja, ụmụ Livayị, ga-abịa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ahọpụtala ha ka ha bụrụ ndị na-ejere ya ozi. Ha ka ọ họpụtakwara ikwupụta ngọzị nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, na ikpe niile metụtara mmerụ ahụ.
6 And all the Elders of that citie that came neere to the slayne man, shall wash their hands ouer the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
Mgbe ahụ, ndị okenye niile nke obodo ndị ahụ dịkarịsịrị ozu ahụ nso, ga-akwọ aka ha nʼelu nwaagbọghọ ehi ahụ, nke ahụ a gbajiri olu nʼime ndagwurugwu ahụ.
7 And shall testifie, and say, Our handes haue not shed this blood, neither haue our eies seene it.
Ha ga-ekwupụta sị, “Aka anyị dị ọcha, ọ bụghị anyị gburu nwoke a, anyị amakwaghị onye gburu ya.
8 O Lord, be mercifull vnto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay no innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel, and the blood shalbe forgiuen them.
Onyenwe anyị, kpuchiere ndị gị Izrel mmehie ha, bụ ndị gị ị gbapụtara. Agụla ndị gị dịka ndị ikpe mara nʼihi ọnwụ nwoke a na-emeghị ihe ọjọọ.” Otu a ka a ga-esi kpuchie mmehie nʼihi mwụfu ọbara ahụ.
9 So shalt thou take away the cry of innocet blood from thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ka ị ga-esi wezugara onwe gị ikpe ọmụma gaara abụ nke gị nʼihi ọbara onye ahụ nwụrụ anwụ, ebe ọ bụ na i meela ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
10 Whe thou shalt go to warre against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God shall deliuer them into thine hands, and thou shalt take the captiues,
Mgbe ị pụrụ ibuso ndị iro gị agha, ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị emee ka i merie ndị iro gị, dọta ụfọdụ nʼime ha nʼagha,
11 And shalt see among the captiues a beautifull woman, and hast a desire vnto her, and wouldest take her to thy wife,
ọ bụrụ na ị hụ nwaagbọghọ mara mma nke masịrị gị nʼetiti ndị a dọtara nʼagha, i nwere ike iduru ya ka ọ bụrụ nwunye gị.
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shaue her head, and pare her nayles,
Ị ga-akpọbata ya nʼụlọ gị, mee ka ọ kpụcha agịrị isi ya, bekwaa mbọ ya niile,
13 And she shall put off the garment that shee was taken in, and she shall remaine in thine house, and bewaile her father and her mother a moneth long: and after that shalt thou go in vnto her, and marry her, and she shalbe thy wife.
yipụ uwe ahụ o yi mgbe e jidere ya. Ọ ga-anọdụ nʼụlọ gị ruo ụjụ nʼihi nna ya na nne ya otu ọnwa. Emesịa, i nwere ike ịbakwuru ya ghọọ di ya, ya onwe ya ga-aghọkwa nwunye gị.
14 And if thou haue no fauour vnto her, then thou mayest let her go whither she will, but thou shalt not sell her for money, nor make marchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
Ọ bụrụ na ihe ya amasịkwaghị gị, ị ga-ahapụ ya ka ọ gaa ebe ọbụla ọ chọrọ. Ị gaghị ere ya nʼọnụ ego ọbụla maọbụ kpasi ya agwa dịka ohu, ebe ọ bụ na ị wedala ya nʼala site nʼịhụ ọtọ ya anya.
15 If a man haue two wiues, one loued and another hated, and they haue borne him children, both the loued and also the hated: if the first borne be the sonne of the hated,
Ọ bụrụ na nwoke lụrụ ndị inyom abụọ, ma hụ otu nʼime ha nʼanya karịa nke ọzọ, ọ bụrụkwa na ndị inyom abụọ ahụ mụtaara ya ụmụ ndị ikom, ma nwanyị ahụ ọ kpọrọ asị buuru ụzọ mụta nwa nwoke,
16 Then when the time commeth, that hee appointeth his sonnes to be heires of that which he hath, he may not make the sonne of the beloued first borne before the sonne of the hated, which is the first borne:
mgbe nwoke ahụ na-eke ihe onwunwe ya, ọ gaghị ewere oke ruuru ọkpara ya, nke nwanyị ahụ ọ kpọrọ asị mụtara kenye nwa nwoke nke nwanyị ahụ ọ hụrụ nʼanya mụrụ.
17 But he shall acknowledge the sonne of the hated for the first borne, and giue him double portion of all that he hath: for hee is the first of his strength, and to him belongeth the right of the first borne.
Ọ ga-anabata nwa nwoke nke nwanyị ahụ ọ na-ahụghị nʼanya mụtara dị ka ọkpara, nye ya, oke abụọ site nʼihe niile o nwere. Nʼihi na nwoke ahụ bụ mmalite ume ya, ọnọdụ nke ị bụ ọkpara bụkwa nke ya.
18 If any man haue a sonne that is stubburne and disobedient, which wil not hearken vnto the voice of his father, nor the voyce of his mother, and they haue chastened him, and he would not obey them,
Ọ bụrụ na nwoke amụta nwa nwoke na-eme isiike, nke na-enupu isi, onye na-adịghị ege nna ya na nne ya ntị, ọ bụladị mgbe ha dọrọ ya aka na ntị.
19 Then shall his father and his mother take him, and bring him out vnto the Elders of his citie, and vnto the gate of the place where he dwelleth,
Nne ya na nna ya ga-eduru ya gaa nʼihu ndị okenye, nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ha.
20 And shall say vnto the Elders of his citie, This our sonne is stubburne and disobedient, and he wil not obey our admonition: he is a riotour, and a drunkard.
Ha ga-agwa ndị okenye obodo ahụ, “Nwa anyị nwoke a na-eme isiike, na-enupu isi, ọ dịghị ege ntị nʼolu anyị. Ọ bụ onye mmefu na onye na-aṅụbiga mmanya oke.”
21 Then all the men of his citie shall stone him with stones vnto death: so thou shalt take away euill from among you, that all Israel may heare it, and feare.
Ndị ikom niile nke obodo ahụ ga-ewere nkume tugbuo ya. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu ga-ekpochapụ ihe ọjọọ ahụ nʼetiti unu. Ndị Izrel niile ga-anụ ihe mere, ụjọ ga-atụkwa ha.
22 If a man also haue committed a trespasse worthy of death, and is put to death, and thou hangest him on a tree,
Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla emee ihe ọjọọ kwesiri ọnwụ, ọ bụrụ na e kpee ya ikpe ọnwụ, kwụgbuo ya nʼosisi,
23 His body shall not remaine all night vpon the tree, but thou shalt bury him the same day: for the curse of God is on him that is hanged. Defile not therfore thy land which the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherite.
unu agaghị ahapụ ozu ya ka ọ dịgide nʼelu osisi abalị ahụ niile. Hụnụ na e liri ya nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, nʼihi na onye ọbụla a kwụbara nʼelu osisi bụ onye Chineke bụrụ ọnụ. Emerụla ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị dịka ihe nketa.
