Deuteronomy 13
1 And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
Mu mmwe bwe mulabikangamu nnabbi oba omuntu n’akutegeeza eby’omu maaso nga yeeyambisa ebirooto, n’alangirira ebyamagero oba ebyewuunyisa ebijja okubeerawo,
2 and the sign or the wonder come to pass which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you know not;
era ebyamagero ebyo, oba ebyewuunyisa ebyo by’anaabanga alangiridde ne bituukirira, n’alyoka akugamba nti, “Ka tugoberere bakatonda abalala era tubaweerezenga” (bakatonda ggwe b’otomanyangako),
3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God tries you, to know whether you love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
towulirizanga bigambo bya nnabbi oyo, oba omuloosi w’ebirooto oyo. Kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe anaabanga abagezesa bugezesa ategeere obanga munaabanga mumwagala n’omutima gwammwe gwonna n’emmeeme yammwe yonna.
4 You shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and you shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves to him.
Mukama Katonda wammwe gwe munaagobereranga, era ye yekka gwe munaatyanga, era amateeka ge, ge munaakwatanga, era n’eddoboozi lye, lye munaawulirizanga era lye munaagonderanga, era ku ye kwe munaanywereranga.
5 And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in: so shall you abolish the evil from amongst you.
Kale nno nnabbi oyo, oba omuloosi w’ebirooto oyo anattibwanga, kubanga anaabanga abasasamaza mujeemere Mukama Katonda wammwe, eyabaggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri, n’abanunula mu nnyumba ey’obuddu, nnabbi oyo ng’akusasamaza, ove mu kkubo ettuufu Mukama Katonda wo lye yakulagira okutambulirangamu. Bw’otyo ekibi ekiri mu mmwe, bw’onookimalangamu.
6 And if your brother by your father or mother, or your son, or daughter, or your wife in your bosom, or friend who is equal to your own soul, entreat you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known,
Omuntu yenna, ne bw’abanga muganda wo oba mutabani wo, oba muwala wo, oba mukazi wo omuganzi ennyo, oba mukwano gwo gw’oyagala ennyo ow’okulusegere, n’akusendasendanga mu kyama ng’agamba nti, “Jjangu tugende tusinze bakatonda abalala,” bakatonda ggwe b’otomanyangako, ne bakadde bo be batamanyangako,
7 of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to the other;
bakatonda ab’abantu ababeetoolodde, ab’oku muliraano, oba abeewala, okuva ensi gy’etandikira ne gy’ekoma,
8 you shall not consent to him, neither shall you listen to him; and your eye shall not spare him, you shall feel no regret for him, neither shall you at all protect him:
tomuwulirizanga, so by’anaakugambanga tobikolanga. Tomusaasiranga era tomuzibiikirizanga wadde okumusonyiwanga.
9 you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him amongst the first to kill him, and the hands of all the people at the last.
Omuttiranga ddala. Gw’omusokangako ng’attibwa n’abantu bonna ne bassa okwo.
10 And they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Onoomukubanga amayinja n’omutta, kubanga anaabanga agezezzaako okukukyusa akuggye ku Mukama Katonda wo eyakuggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri mu nnyumba ey’obuddu.
11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing amongst you.
Kale Isirayiri yonna banaakiwuliranga banaatyanga, era tewaabeerengawo mu mmwe n’omu anaddangayo okukola ekibi ng’ekyo.
12 And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell therein, you shall hear men saying,
Bw’owuliranga mu kimu ku bibuga Mukama Katonda wo by’akuwa okubeerangamu,
13 Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you knew not,
nga mulimu abantu abali mu mmwe abasituse ne basikiriza abantu b’omu kibuga kyabwe ekyo nga babagamba nti, “Ka tugende tusinze bakatonda abalala,” bakatonda be mutamanyangako,
14 then you shall enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place amongst you,
kale nno kikusaanira obuulirizenga nnyo ku kintu ekyo, okyekebejjenga, okyekkaanyizenga ddala. Bwe kinaakakasibwanga nga kya mazima, nga wakati mu mmwe waliwo abakoze ekintu ekibi bwe kityo,
15 you shall utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; you shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.
kale, abantu bonna abanaabeeranga mu kibuga onoobattanga n’ekitala, awamu n’ebisolo byabwe bye balunda byonna.
16 And all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, it shall not be built again.
Omunyago gwonna onoogukuŋŋaanyizanga wakati mu kibangirizi eky’omu kibuga, era onooyokyanga ekibuga kyonna n’omunyago gwako n’omuliro, ng’ekiweebwayo ekiri awamu ekyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wo. Ekibuga ekyo kinaasigalanga awo nga kifunvu eky’olubeerera, tekiddibwengamu kuzimbibwa.
17 And there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as he sware to your fathers;
Tewaabeerengawo kintu na kimu ku ebyo ebinaabanga bimaze okukolimirwa ky’onoosangibwanga nakyo, bwe butyo obusungu bwa Mukama obunaabanga obungi ennyo bunakkakkananga; anaakukwatirwanga ekisa, n’akulaganga okwagala kwe, n’akwongeranga okwala, nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabo,
18 if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge you this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
kubanga onoogonderanga eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wo n’okwatanga amateeka ge gonna ge nkuwa leero, n’okolanga ebisaanidde mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
