Deuteronomy 26
1 And it shall be, when thou have come in to the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell in it,
Awo olulituuka bw’omalanga okuyingira mu nsi, Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obusika bwo obw’enkalakkalira, ng’omaze okugyefunira era ng’otebenkedde bulungi,
2 that thou shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shall bring in from thy land that Jehovah thy God gives thee, and thou shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
oddiranga ebimu ku bibala ebibereberye by’oliggya mu makungula agalisooka okuva mu ttaka ery’oku nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, n’obiteeka mu kibbo. Kale nno obireetanga mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo kye yeerondera okubeerangamu Erinnya lye.
3 And thou shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come to the land which Jehovah swore to our fathers to give us.
Ogambanga kabona alibeera mu kisanja mu kiseera ekyo nti, “Njatula leero eri Mukama Katonda wo nti ntuuse mu nsi Mukama gye yalayirira bajjajjaffe okugituwa.”
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God.
Kabona aliggya ekibbo mu mikono gyo n’akitereeza mu maaso g’ekyoto kya Mukama Katonda wo.
5 And thou shall answer and say before Jehovah thy God, My father was a Syrian ready to perish, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number. And he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
Kale nno oliyatula mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo nti, “Jjajjaffe yali mutambuze Omusuuli, n’aserengeta mu Misiri n’abantu be yali nabo abatono, ne babeera eyo, ne bafuukamu eggwanga ekkulu ery’amaanyi era nga lirimu abantu bangi nnyo.
6 And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage.
Naye Abamisiri ne batuyisa bubi, ne batubonyaabonya, nga batukozesa emirimu emikakanyavu.
7 And we cried to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression.
Bwe tutyo ne tukaabirira Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaffe; Katonda n’awulira eddoboozi lyaffe, n’alaba okubonaabona kwaffe, n’okutegana kwaffe, n’okunyigirizibwa kwaffe kwonna.
8 And Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders.
Bw’atyo Mukama n’atuggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi gwe yagolola, n’obuyinza bwe obw’entiisa, n’obubonero, n’ebyamagero eby’ekitalo.
9 And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Yatuleeta mu kifo kino n’atuwa ensi eno, ensi omukulukutira amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
10 And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O Jehovah, have given me. And thou shall set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God.
Bwe ntyo ndeese gy’oli ebibala ebibereberye ebiva mu ttaka ery’omu nsi gy’ompadde, Ayi Mukama.” Olibiteeka mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo n’ovuunama mu maaso ge.
11 And thou shall rejoice in all the good which Jehovah thy God has given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who is in the midst of thee.
Kale nno, ggwe awamu n’Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga abanaabeeranga mu mmwe, onoojaguzanga ng’osanyukira ebirungi byonna, Mukama Katonda wo by’anaabanga akuwadde ggwe n’amaka go gonna.
12 When thou have made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then thou shall give it to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled.
Mu mwaka ogwokusatu bw’onoomalanga okuggyako ku makungula go ekitundu eky’ekkumi n’okissa wabbali, kubanga ogwo gwe mwaka ogw’ekitundu eky’ekkumi, onoddiranga ekitundu ekyo n’okiwa Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa, ne bannamwandu, ne baliiranga mu bibuga byo ne bakkuta.
13 And thou shall say before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
Awo onooyogeranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo nti, “Ekitundu ekimu eky’ekkumi ekyatukuzibwa nkiggyayo mu maka gange ne nkigabira Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa, ne bannamwandu, nga byonna bye wandagira bwe biri. Sikyamyeko kuva ku biragiro byo newaakubadde okwerabira n’ekimu ku byo.
14 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put away from it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God. I have done according to all that thou have commanded me.
Ekitundu ekyo sikiriddeeko nga ndi mu biseera eby’okukungubaga, wadde okukikwatako nga siri mulongoofu, era sikitoddeeko ne mpaayo eri abafu. Ŋŋondedde Mukama Katonda wange, ne nkola nga bwe yandagira.
15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the ground which thou have given us, as thou swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Otutunuulire ng’osinziira mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu gy’obeera mu ggulu, otuyiweko omukisa gwo ffe abantu bo Abayisirayiri n’ensi gy’otuwadde nga bwe walayirira bajjajjaffe, nga y’ensi omukulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.”
16 This day Jehovah thy God commands thee to do these statutes and ordinances. Thou shall therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
Mukama Katonda wo akulagira leero okugonderanga amateeka ago gonna n’ebiragiro ebyo; noolwekyo obigonderanga byonna n’omutima gwo gwonna n’emmeeme yo yonna.
17 Thou have avouched Jehovah this day to be thy God, and that thou would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken to his voice.
Ku lunaku lwa leero oyatudde nga Mukama bw’ali Katonda wo, era nga naawe bw’onootambuliranga mu makubo ge, era ng’onookuumanga ebiragiro bye n’amateeka ge gonna, era ng’onoomugonderanga.
18 And Jehovah has avouched thee this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised thee, and that thou should keep all his commandments,
Ku lunaku lwa leero Mukama alangiridde nga bw’oli owuwe, eggwanga lye ku bubwe ery’omuwendo omungi nga bwe yasuubiza, era nga ojjanga kukwatanga ebiragiro bye byonna.
19 and to make thee high above all nations that he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor, and that thou may be a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as he has spoken.
Alangiridde nga bw’anaakujjuzanga ettendo n’okwatiikirira n’ekitiibwa okusukkirira amawanga gonna ge yatonda, era ng’olibeera eggwanga ettukuvu eri Mukama Katonda wo, nga bwe yasuubiza.
