Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ga-akpọbata unu nʼala ahụ unu na-abanye inweta, mgbe o si nʼihu unu chụpụ ọtụtụ mba ndị a nʼihu unu, bụ ndị Het, ndị Gigash, ndị Amọrait, ndị Kenan, ndị Periz, ndị Hiv na ndị Jebus, bụ mba asaa ndị dị ike nke ukwuu, baakwa ụba karịa unu;
2 and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
mgbe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu nyefere ha nʼaka unu, unu meriekwa ha, lezienụ anya hụ na unu bibiri ha kpamkpam. Ka unu na ha ghara ịgba ndụ, unu emekwarala ha ebere.
3 neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
Unu na ha alụrịtakwala di na nwunye, unu enyekwala ụmụ ha ndị ikom ụmụ unu ndị inyom ka ha lụọ, maọbụ lụtara ụmụ unu ndị ikom ụmụ ha ndị inyom.
4 For he will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and he will destroy thee quickly.
Nʼihi na nke a ga-eme ka ụmụ unu site nʼiso m tụgharịa, malite ife chi ndị ọzọ. Mgbe ahụ iwe Onyenwe anyị ga-adị ọkụ megide unu, laakwa unu nʼiyi ngwangwa.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.
Kama otu a ka unu ga-eme: tikpọọnụ ebe ịchụ aja ha niile. Kụrienụ ogidi arụsị ha niile. Gbutukwaanụ osisi Ashera ha, ma suo arụsị ha niile ọkụ.
6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
Nʼihi na unu bụ ndị dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu. Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ahọpụtala unu site nʼagbụrụ niile dị nʼụwa a, ka unu bụrụ ndị nke ya, ihe onwunwe ya dị oke ọnụahịa.
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all peoples:
Ọ bụghị nʼihi na unu dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ karịa ndị mba ọzọ, ka Onyenwe anyị ji họpụta unu, hụ unu nʼanya otu a, nʼezie unu dịkarịsịrị nta nʼọnụọgụgụ.
8 but because the LORD loveth you, and because he would keep the oath which he sware unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Kama, ọ bụ nʼihi Onyenwe anyị hụrụ unu nʼanya, mezuokwa iyi ọ ṅụrụ nye nna nna unu ha, ka o ji site nʼaka ya dị ike gbapụta unu site nʼala ebe unu bụ ndị ohu, site nʼike nke Fero, bụ eze Ijipt.
9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God; the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
Matanụ nke ọma na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu bụ Chineke. Ọ bụ Chineke kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, onye na-edebe ọgbụgba ndụ ịhụnanya ya ruo puku ọgbọ, nye ndị niile hụrụ ya nʼanya, ndị na-edebe ihe niile o nyere nʼiwu.
10 and repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Ma onye kpọrọ ya asị, ọ na-eji mbibi kwụghachi ya ụgwọ nʼihu ya, ọ gaghị egbu oge ịkwụghachi onye kpọrọ ya asị ụgwọ nʼihu ha.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Nʼihi ya, hụ na unu debezuru iwu na ụkpụrụ ndị a m na-enye unu taa.
12 And it shall come to pass, because ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep with thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
Ọ bụrụ na unu elezie anya, ṅaa ntị nʼiwu ndị a, debe ha, ma mezuokwa ha, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ga-emezuru unu ọgbụgba ndụ ịhụnanya ahụ dịka ọ ṅụrụ nʼiyi nye nna nna unu ha.
13 and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn and thy wine and thine oil, the increase of thy kine and the young of thy flock, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
Ọ ga-ahụ unu nʼanya, gọzie unu, meekwa ka unu baa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ọ ga-agọzi unu nʼọmụmụ, gọzie ihe ọkụkụ nke ala unu, ọka unu, na mmanya ọhụrụ unu, na mmanụ unu, na ụmụ ehi unu mụrụ, na ụmụ igwe atụrụ unu mụrụ, nʼala ahụ ọ ṅụụrụ nna nna unu ha iyi inye unu.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
A ga-agọzi unu karịa mba ndị ọzọ niile dị nʼụwa. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu, maọbụ nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ga-anọ na-amụtaghị nwa, ọ dịkwaghị anụ ụlọ unu ga-agba aka nwa.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee, but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
Onyenwe anyị ga-ewepụrụ unu ọrịa niile. Ọ gaghị ekwe ka ọrịa ndị Ijipt ọbụla, nke unu na-echeta nke ọma dakwasị unu, ọrịa ndị a niile ka ọ ga-eme ka ọ bịakwasị ndị iro unu!
16 And thou shalt consume all the peoples which the LORD thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall not pity them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
Mba ọbụla Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu nyefere unu nʼaka ka unu ga-ala nʼiyi. Unu emerela ha ebere, unu efekwala chi niile ha, nʼihi na nke a ga-abụrụ unu ihe ịma nʼọnya.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
Ma eleghị anya, unu ga na-eche nʼime onwe unu sị, “Mba ndị a dị ike karịa anyị, olee otu anyị ga-esi chụpụ ha?”
18 thou shalt not be afraid of them: thou shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
Ma unu atụla egwu! Naanị chetanụ ihe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu mere Fero na ndị Ijipt niile.
19 the great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the peoples of whom thou art afraid.
Unu ji anya unu hụ ọnwụnwa ukwuu niile, ihe ịrịbama niile na ihe ebube niile, nʼaka ahụ dị ike na ogwe aka esetipụrụ esetipụ, nke Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ji kpọpụta unu. Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ga-emekwa otu ihe ahụ nʼebe ndị niile a unu na-atụ egwu ugbu a.
20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves, perish from before thee.
Karịsịa, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ga-ezipụ ebu nʼetiti ha tutu ruo mgbe ọ bụladị ndị fọdụrụ ndụ, ndị ahụ ga-ezo onwe ha site nʼebe unu nọ, ghọrọ ndị e bibiri.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a great God and a terrible.
Unu amala jijiji nʼihu ha, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, onye nọ nʼetiti unu bụ Chineke dị ukwuu, dịkwa egwu.
22 And the LORD thy God will cast out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, ga-achụpụ mba ndị a ntakịrị ntakịrị. Ọ gaghị ekwe ka unu chụpụ ha otu ugboro, ma ọ bụghị ya, ụmụ anụ ọhịa ọjọọ ga-amụba megide unu.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and shall discomfit them with a great discomfiture, until they be destroyed.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-enyefe ha nʼaka unu, ọ ga-etinye ha oke ọgbaaghara nʼobi, tutu ruo mgbe ha lara nʼiyi.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt make their name to perish from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
Eze ha niile ka ọ ga-enyefe nʼaka unu, unu ga-ehichapụkwa aha ha nʼelu ụwa. Ọ dịkwaghị onye pụrụ iguzo nʼihu unu, nʼihi na unu ga-ebibi ha niile.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God:
Kpọọnụ arụsị niile nke apịrị apị nke chi niile ha ọkụ. Unu enwela anya ukwu nʼebe ọlaọcha maọbụ ọlaedo dị ha nʼahụ dị. Unu ewerela ya ka ọ bụrụ nke unu, ka unu ghara ịbụ ndị ọ matara nʼọnya, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe arụ nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu.
26 and thou shalt not bring an abomination into thine house, and become a devoted thing like unto it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
Unu ewebatala ihe arụ ọbụla nʼụlọ unu, ka unu ghara ịbụ ihe e debere iche nye mbibi dịka ya. Kpọọnụ ihe arụ ahụ asị, ledakwanụ ya anya, nʼihi na ihe e debere iche nye mbibi ka ọ bụ.
