Deuteronomy 27
1 Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: “Keep all the commandments I am giving you today.
Awo Musa ng’ali n’abakulu abakulembeze ba Isirayiri n’alagira abantu nti, “Ebiragiro byonna bye mbategeeza leero mubikuumenga.
2 And on the day you cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, set up large stones and coat them with plaster.
Bwe mumalanga okusomoka omugga Yoludaani n’oyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, oddiranga amayinja amanene n’ogategeka n’ogakubako omuyiko ogw’ennoni ng’etabuddwamu omusenyu.
3 Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
Ogawandiikangako ebigambo bino byonna eby’amateeka, ng’omaze okusomoka, ng’oyingidde mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, y’ensi omukulukutira amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, nga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabo bwe yakusuubiza.
4 And when you have crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am commanding you today, and you are to coat them with plaster.
Bw’otyo, bw’olimala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, otegekanga amayinja ago ku Lusozi Ebali nga bwe mbalagira kaakano, era ogakubangako omuyiko ogw’ennoni ng’etabuddwamu omusenyu.
5 Moreover, you are to build there an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. You must not use any iron tool on them.
Era Mukama Katonda wo olimuzimbira eyo ekyoto n’amayinja amalamba agatali matemeko na kyuma.
6 You shall build the altar of the LORD your God with uncut stones and offer upon it burnt offerings to the LORD your God.
Olizimbira eyo Mukama Katonda wo ekyoto n’amayinja amalamba n’oweerako ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wo.
7 There you are to sacrifice your peace offerings, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God.
Oliwaayo ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’obiriira eyo ng’osanyukira mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
8 And you shall write distinctly upon these stones all the words of this law.”
Era ku mayinja ago g’oliba otegese oliwandiikako n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna eby’amateeka gano.”
9 Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel: “Be silent, O Israel, and listen! This day you have become the people of the LORD your God.
Awo Musa ng’ali n’Abaleevi, bakabona, n’agamba Abayisirayiri bonna nti, “Sirika owulire ggwe Isirayiri! Ku lunaku lwa leero lwennyini ofuuse eggwanga lya Mukama Katonda wo.
10 You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God and follow His commandments and statutes I am giving you today.”
Noolwekyo ogonderanga Mukama Katonda wo n’okwatanga amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkulagira leero.”
11 On that day Moses commanded the people:
Ku lunaku lwe lumu Musa yakuutira abantu bw’ati nti,
12 “When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
Bwe mulimala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, ab’omu bika bino baliyimirira ku Lusozi Gerizimu ne basabira abantu omukisa: Simyoni, ne Leevi, ne Yuda, ne Isakaali, ne Yusufu, ne Benyamini.
13 And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to deliver the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Ate ab’omu bika bino baliyimirira ku Lusozi Ebali ne balangirira ebikolimo: Lewubeeni, ne Gaadi, ne Aseri, ne Zebbulooni, ne Ddaani, ne Nafutaali.
14 Then the Levites shall proclaim in a loud voice to every Israelite:
Awo Abaleevi balirangirira n’eddoboozi ddene eri abantu bonna Abayisirayiri nti:
15 ‘Cursed is the man who makes a carved idol or molten image—an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of a craftsman—and sets it up in secret.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna akola ekifaananyi ekitali Katonda oba abumba ekintu ng’ekyo kyonna Mukama ky’akyayira ddala nga kikolebwa omukozi nnakinku, omuntu oyo n’abaako ne wakiyimiriza mu kyama.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
16 ‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or mother.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna atassaamu kitiibwa kitaawe oba nnyina.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
17 ‘Cursed is he who moves his neighbor’s boundary stone.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna akyusa ekituuti ekiraga ensalo ya muliraanwa we.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
18 ‘Cursed is he who lets a blind man wander in the road.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna aggya omuzibe w’amaaso mu kkubo ettuufu n’amubuza.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
19 ‘Cursed is he who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna atalaga bwenkanya eri bannamawanga, oba bamulekwa oba bannamwandu.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
20 ‘Cursed is he who sleeps with his father’s wife, for he has violated his father’s marriage bed.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna eyeebaka ne muka kitaawe, kubanga ekitanda kya kitaawe akimalamu ekitiibwa.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
21 ‘Cursed is he who lies with any animal.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna akola ebyobukaba n’ensolo.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
22 ‘Cursed is he who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna eyeebaka ne mwannyina omuwala wa kitaawe, oba muwala wa nnyina.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
23 ‘Cursed is he who sleeps with his mother-in-law.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna eyeebaka ne nnyina wa mukazi we.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
24 ‘Cursed is he who strikes down his neighbor in secret.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna atemula munne.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
25 ‘Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna akkiriza okugulirirwa atte munne ataliiko musango.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
26 ‘Cursed is he who does not put the words of this law into practice.’
“Akolimirwe omuntu yenna atagondera bigambo ebiri mu mateeka gano.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina.”
