< Deuteronomy 23 >

1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Nwoke ọbụla echipịara mkpụrụ amụ ya, maọbụ nke e bipụrụ mkpụrụ amụ ya, agaghị esonye na mkpọkọta Onyenwe anyị.
2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Nwa ọbụla a mụtara site nʼịkwa iko agakwaghị esonye na mkpọkọta Onyenwe anyị, ụmụ ụmụ ya, ruo nʼọgbọ nke iri, agakwaghị esonye na mkpọkọta Onyenwe anyị.
3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
Onye Amọn, maọbụ onye Moab, agaghị esonye na mkpọkọta Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụladị ruo nʼọgbọ nke iri ha.
4 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
Nʼihi na ha e jighị achịcha na mmiri bịa zute unu nʼụzọ mgbe unu si Ijipt pụta, ha goro Belam, nwa Beoa, onye si Petọ nke dị na Aram Naharaim, ka ọ bụọ unu ọnụ.
5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị egeghị Belam ntị, kama Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị gbanwere ịbụ ọnụ ahụ mee ka ọ ghọọrọ gị ngọzị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị hụrụ gị nʼanya.
6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
Achọla udo ndị Amọn na Moab, na ọdịmma ha ụbọchị ndụ gị niile ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he [is] thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
Ma eledala ndị Edọm anya, nʼihi na ndị Edọm bụ ụmụnna unu. Unu eledala ndị Ijipt anya, nʼihi na unu biri dịka ndị ọbịa nʼime ala ha.
8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
Ụmụ a ga-amụrụ ha nʼọgbọ nke atọ ha nwere ike ịbata na mkpọkọta nke Onyenwe anyị.
9 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
Mgbe unu mara ụlọ ikwu unu maka ibu agha megide ndị iro unu, wezuganụ onwe unu site nʼihe ọbụla na-adịghị ọcha.
10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
Nwoke ọbụla nʼetiti gị nke na-adịghị ọcha site nʼịnyụ mkpụrụ nwa nʼahụ ya nʼabalị, ga-apụ gaa nọdụ nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu.
11 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash [himself] with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp [again].
Ọ ga-anọ nʼebe ahụ ruo uhuruchi, emesịa, ọ ga-asa ahụ ya lọghachi nʼụlọ ikwu nʼanyasị.
12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
Ị ga-enwekwa otu ebe ndị gị ga-anọ jee nʼogwe ga-adị nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu.
13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
Onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-enwe shọvel dịka otu nʼime ngwa agha ya. Mgbe ọbụla kwa o jere nʼogwe, ọ ga-eji ya gwuo ala kpochie nsị ọ nyụrụ.
14 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
Ụlọ ikwu gị ga-adị nsọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-ejegharị nʼetiti gị ichebe gị, na ịnapụta gị site nʼaka ndị iro gị. Onyenwe anyị achọghị ihu ihe ọbụla na-adịghị mma nʼanya, ka ọ ghara ịlaghachi azụ iso gị.
15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
Ọ bụrụ na ohu esite nʼaka onye nwe ya gbakwute unu, akwagidela ya ka ọ lọghachi,
16 He shall dwell with thee, [even] among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
hapụ ya ka o biri nʼetiti gị nʼime obodo ọbụla masịrị ya, emegbukwala ya.
17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Ọ dịghị nwoke maọbụ nwanyị, onye Izrel ga-aghọ akwụna ụlọ arụsị.
18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Ị gaghị ewebata nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, onyinye ọbụla site nʼego nwanyị na-agba akwụna kpatara, maọbụ site nʼego nwoke ahụ na-edebe onwe ya dịka akwụna nye ndị ikom ibe ya kpatara, iji mezuo nkwa ọbụla. Nʼihi na ha abụọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
A nakwala onye Izrel ibe gị ọmụrụnwa, nʼihe ọbụla i binyere ya, maọbụ ego, maọbụ nri, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ nwere ike ịmụta ọmụrụnwa.
20 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Onye mba ọzọ ka ị ga-ana ọmụrụnwa nʼihe i binyere ya, ọ bụghị onye Izrel ibe gị. Ka Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị gọzie gị nʼihe niile i tinyere aka gị ime nʼala ahụ nke ị na-aba inweta.
21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
Mgbe i kwere Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nkwa, alala azụ nʼịkwụghachi ya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị chọrọ ka ị kwụghachi nkwa gị ọsịịsọ. Ọ ga-abụkwara gị mmehie ma i meghị ya.
22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
Ma ọ gaghị abụrụ gị mmehie ma ọ bụrụ na i kweghị nkwa ọbụla!
23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; [even] a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
Ihe ọbụla nke i kwere na nkwa, jisie ike hụ na i mezuru nke ahụ dịka okwu gị si dị, nʼihi na ọ bụ onyinye afọ ofufu nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
24 When thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put [any] in thy vessel.
Ọ bụrụ na ị banye nʼubi vaịnị onye agbataobi gị, i nwere ike ghọrọ mkpụrụ vaịnị ọbụla ị chọrọ rachaa nʼebe ahụ, ma etinyela mkpụrụ ọbụla nʼakpa gị.
25 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing corn.
Otu a kwa, ị banye nʼubi ọka onye agbataobi gị, ghọrọ mkpụrụ ọka ọbụla ị chọrọ nʼaka gị, nọọkwa nʼebe ahụ taa ya, ma ị gaghị etinye mma iwe ihe ubi nʼime ọka ha ndị guzoro eguzo.
