< Deuteronomy 30 >
1 Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,
Emikisa n’ebikolimo ebyo byonna bye nkutegeezezza, bwe binaakutuukangako n’ojjukiranga ng’oli eyo mu nsi ezo zonna Mukama Katonda wo gy’anaabanga akusaasaanyizza,
2 And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:
n’okyuka n’odda eri Mukama Katonda wo, n’omugonderanga, n’abaana bo bonna, n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna, nga bwe nkulagira leero,
3 Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.
kale Mukama Katonda wo anaakusaasiranga n’akuzza mu mbeera yo ennungi eneekweyagazanga, ng’akuwumbyewumbye okukuggya eyo gy’anaabanga akusaasaanyirizza.
4 Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;
Newaakubadde onoobanga owaŋŋangusiriddwa mu nsi esinga okubeera ey’ewala ennyo wansi w’eggulu, Mukama Katonda wo anaakukuŋŋaanyangayo, n’akuggyayo n’akukomyawo.
5 Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.
Mukama Katonda wo anaakukomyangawo mu nsi bajjajjaabo gye baafuna, naawe onoogifunanga. Alikugaggawaza era n’akwaza nnyo okukira bajjajjaabo.
6 And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.
Mukama Katonda wo alikomola omutima gwo, n’omutima gwa bazzukulu bo, bw’otyo oyagalanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna, olyoke obeerenga omulamu.
7 And the Lord your God will put all these curses on those who are against you, and on your haters who put a cruel yoke on you.
Mukama Katonda wo aliteeka ebikolimo ebyo byonna ku balabe bo ne ku abo abanaakuyigganyanga.
8 And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.
Bw’otyo n’oddamu okugonderanga Mukama Katonda ng’okwata amateeka ge, ge nkulagira leero.
9 And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:
Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda wo alikugaggawaza mu buli kintu kyonna ky’onookolanga, mu bibala eby’omubiri gwo, ne mu bibala eby’ebisolo byo, ne mu bibala eby’ettaka lyo. Mukama alisanyuka nnyo okukugaggawazanga n’obeeranga bulungi, nga bwe kyamusanyusanga okugaggawazanga bajjajjaabo,
10 If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
ng’ogondeddenga Mukama Katonda wo, n’okwatanga amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye ebiwandiikiddwa mu Kitabo eky’Amateeka kino, n’odda eri Mukama Katonda wo n’omukyukiranga n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna.
11 For these orders which I have given you today are not strange and secret, and are not far away.
Etteeka lye nkulagira leero terisaana kukukaluubirira, kubanga terikuli wala nnyo.
12 They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?
Teriri mu ggulu, n’okugamba ne kikugambisa nti, “Ani anaatulinnyirayo mu ggulu n’atulireeterayo tulyoke tuliwulire tuligonderenga?”
13 And they are not across the sea, for you to say, Who will go over the sea for us and give us news of them so that we may do them?
So teriri mitala wa nnyanja, olyoke ogambe nti, “Ani anaatusomokera ennyanja, alituleetere tuwulire bye ligamba, tuligondere?”
14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.
Nedda, ekigambo kiri kumpi ddala ne w’oli, kiri mu kamwa ko ne mu mutima gwo, olyoke okigondere.
15 See, I have put before you today, life and good, and death and evil;
Kale laba, olwa leero ntadde mu maaso go obulamu n’okufa.
16 In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage.
Kubanga nkulagira leero okwagalanga Mukama Katonda wo, okutambuliranga mu makubo ge, awamu n’okukwatanga amateeka ge n’okugobereranga ebiragiro bye byonna. Bw’onookolanga bw’otyo ojjanga kuba mulamu era oyale, ne Mukama Katonda wo anaakuwanga omukisa ng’oli mu nsi gy’oyingira okugifuna.
17 But if your heart is turned away and your ear is shut, and you go after those who would make you servants and worshippers of other gods:
Naye omutima gwo bwe gunaakyamanga n’otowulira, era bw’onoosendebwasendebwanga okusinzanga bakatonda abalala n’okubaweerezanga,
18 I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan.
mbalangirira leero nti, Mugenda kuzikirizibwa; era temuliwangaala mu nsi gy’ogenda okusomokera omugga Yoludaani okugiyingira okugifuna.
19 Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:
Ku lunaku lwa leero nkoowoola eggulu n’ensi nga be bajulirwa bange, ku mmwe, abategedde nga ntadde mu maaso gammwe, obulamu n’okufa; n’emikisa n’ebikolimo. Kale nno londawo obulamu, olyoke obeerenga mulamu, ggwe n’ezzadde lyo:
20 In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
ng’oyagalanga Mukama Katonda wo, ng’owuliranga eddoboozi lye, era nga weekwatira ddala ku ye. Kubanga Mukama bwe bulamu bwo n’okuwangaala; alyoke akuwenga emyaka mingi mu nsi Mukama gye yalayirira okugiwa bajjajjaabo: Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo.
