Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice to the Lord thy God a calf or a sheep, in which there is a blemish, [or] any evil thing; for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
Toleetanga kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda wo eky’ente oba eky’endiga ng’eriko akamogo oba ekikyamu kyonna, kubanga ebiri ng’ebyo Katonda wo abikyayira ddala.
2 And if there should be found in any one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee, a man or a woman who shall do that which is evil before the Lord thy God, so as to transgress his covenant,
Omuntu yenna omusajja oba omukazi abeera mu mmwe, mu kimu ku bibuga Mukama Katonda wo by’akuwa, bw’anaakwatibwanga ng’akoze ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo, ng’amenye endagaano ya Mukama,
3 and they should go and serve other gods, and worship them, the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which he commanded thee not to do,
era ng’ajeemedde ekiragiro kyange n’asinza bakatonda abalala, ng’enjuba, oba omwezi, oba emmunyeenye ez’oku ggulu, bye siragiranga okubisinzanga,
4 and it be told thee, and thou shalt have enquired diligently, and, behold, the thing really took place, this abomination has been done in Israel;
ekikolwa ekyo ne kikutegeezebwangako; kale onookinoonyerezangako n’obwegendereza. Bwe kinaakakasibwanga nga kya mazima, ng’ekibi ekyo kikoleddwa mu Isirayiri,
5 then shalt thou bring out that man, or that woman, and ye shall stone them with stones, and they shall die.
onoofulumyanga omusajja oyo, oba omukazi oyo, akoze ekibi ekyo, wabweru wa wankaaki w’ekibuga n’omukuba amayinja, n’afa.
6 He shall die on the testimony of two or three witnesses; a man who is put to death shall not be put to death for one witness.
Omuntu anattibwanga nga wamaze kulabikawo obujulizi bw’abantu babiri oba basatu, naye omuntu tattibwenga ku bujulizi bw’omuntu omu yekka.
7 And the hand of the witnesses shall be upon him among the first to put him to death, and the hand of the people at the last; so shalt thou remove the evil one from among yourselves.
Abajulizi be banaasookanga okukasuukirira omuntu oyo amayinja, n’abalala ne bagoberera. Kinaakusaaniranga okwemalangako ebibi ebinaabeeranga wakati mu mmwe.
8 And if a matter shall be too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, and between cause and cause, and between stroke and stroke, and between contradiction and contradiction, matters of judgment in your cities;
Bwe wanaabangawo emisango egireeteddwa mu mbuga yo nga mizibu gikukaluubiridde okusala, oba nga gya kuyiwa musaayi, oba gya kuwozaŋŋanya, oba kukubagana, oba ensonga endala zonna ezinaabangamu enkaayana mu bibuga byo, ensonga ezo zonna onoozitwalanga mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo ky’anaabanga yeerondedde.
9 then thou shalt arise and go up to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and thou shalt come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and they shall search out [the matter] and report the judgment to thee.
Bw’onootuukanga eyo oneebuuzanga ku bakabona, be Baleevi, ne ku mulamuzi anaabanga akola omulimu ogwo mu kiseera ekyo. Banaakutegeezanga ensala yaabwe.
10 And thou shalt act according to the thing which they shall report to thee out of the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and thou shalt observe to do all whatsoever shall have been by law appointed to thee.
Onookoleranga ku nsala yaabwe eyo gye banaakuwanga mu kifo ekyo Mukama ky’anaabanga yeerondedde. Weegenderezanga nnyo n’okola ebyo bye banaabanga bakulagidde.
11 Thou shalt do according to the law and to the judgment which they shall declare to thee: thou shalt not swerve to the right hand or to the left from any sentence which they shall report to thee.
Kinaakugwaniranga okukola ng’amateeka ge banaabanga bakunnyonnyodde bwe gagamba, n’ensala yaabwe nga bw’eneebanga gye banaakutegeezanga. Bye banaakutegeezanga tobivangako kulaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ku gwa kkono.
12 And the man whosoever shall act in haughtiness, so as not to hearken to the priest who stands to minister in the name of the Lord thy God, or the judge who shall preside in those days, that man shall die, and thou shalt remove the evil one out of Israel.
Omuntu yenna anaanyoomanga omulamuzi oba kabona eyateekebwawo okuweereza Mukama Katonda wo, omuntu oyo wa kufa. Bw’otyo bw’onoomalangamu ekibi mu Isirayiri.
13 And all the people shall hear and fear, and shall no more commit impiety.
Abantu bonna banaabiwuliranga ne batya, ne bataddayo nate kukola bya kyejo.
14 And when thou shalt enter into the land which the Lord thy God gives thee, and shalt inherit it and dwell in it, and shalt say, I will set a ruler over me, as also the other nations round about me;
Bw’olimala okuyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, n’ogirya, n’obeera omwo, oliyinza okugamba nti, “Leka neeteekerewo kabaka ananfuganga okufaanana ng’amawanga amalala gonna aganneebunguludde;”
15 thou shalt surely set over thee the ruler whom the Lord God shall choose: of thy brethren thou shalt set over thee a ruler; thou shalt not have power to set over thee a stranger, because he is not thy brother.
Weegenderezanga n’ossaawo kabaka oyo Mukama Katonda wo gw’anaakulonderanga. Kikugwanira okumuggyanga mu bantu bo bennyini. Tokkirizibwenga kwessizangawo kabaka omunnaggwanga anaabanga tavudde mu baganda bo bennyini, okukufuganga.
16 For he shall not multiply to himself horses, and he shall by no means turn the people back to Egypt, lest he should multiply to himself horses; for the Lord said, Ye shall not any more turn back by that way.
Kabaka oyo tateekwa kwefuniranga mbalaasi nnyingi, wadde okutumanga abantu mu Misiri bamufunirengayo embalaasi endala okwongeranga ku z’alina obungi; kubanga Mukama yagamba nti, “Temuddangayo kukwata kkubo eryo,”
17 And he shall not multiply to himself wives, lest his heart turn away; and he shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Tawasanga bakazi bangi kubanga bagenda kumukyamyanga. So tekimugwanira kwetuumangako zaabu n’effeeza ennyingi ennyo.
18 And when he shall be established in his government, then shall he write for himself this repetition of the law into a book by the hands of the priests the Levites;
Bw’anaamalanga okutebenkera ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwe, anaakoppololeranga amateeka gano mu kitabo ng’agaggyanga ku ga bakabona, Abaleevi.
19 and it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord thy God, and to keep all these commandments, and to observe these ordinances:
Ekitabo ekyo anaabeeranga nakyo bulijjo, era anaakisomanga ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe, alyokenga ayige okutyanga Mukama Katonda we, ng’agobereranga n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna ebiri mu mateeka gano, ne mu biragiro,
20 that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, that he depart not from the commandments on the right hand or on the left; that he and his sons may reign long in his dominion among the children of Israel.
nga teyeekulumbaza kusukkirira ku bannansi banne, era nga takyama kuva ku mateeka gano okulaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ku gwa kkono. Bw’anaakolanga bw’atyo, ye, n’ezzadde lye banaafuganga mu bwakabaka bwe, mu Isirayiri, okumala ennaku nnyingi.
