Deuteronomy 19
1 And when the Lord your God shall have destroyed the nations, which God gives you, [even] the land, and you shall inherit them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses,
Mukama Katonda wo bw’alimala okuzikiriza amawanga kaakano agali mu nsi gy’akuwa, n’ogyefunira, ne weetwalira ebibuga byabwe, n’amaka gaabwe n’obeera omwo,
2 you shall separate for yourself three cities in the midst of your land, which the Lord your God gives you.
weeyawulirangako ebibuga bisatu nga biri wakati mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okugirya.
3 Take a survey of your way, and you shall divide the coasts of your land, which the Lord your God apportions to you, into three parts, and there shall be there a refuge for every manslayer.
Okolanga enguudo eziraga mu bibuga ebyo; ensi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obusika bwo obw’enkalakkalira, ogyawulangamu ebitundu bisatu, kale buli anattanga omuntu anaddukiranga mu kimu ku bibuga eby’omu bitundu ebyo.
4 And this shall be the ordinance of the manslayer, who shall flee there, and shall live, whoever shall have struck his neighbour ignorantly, whereas he hated him not in times past.
Etteeka lino likwata ku muntu anattanga munne nga tagenderedde kubanga anaabanga tamulinaako kiruyi kyonna, oyo eyasse anaddukiranga mu kimu ku bibuga ebyo awonye obulamu bwe.
5 And whoever shall enter with his neighbour into the thicket, to gather wood, if the hand of him that cuts wood with the axe should be violently shaken, and the axe head falling off from the handle should light on his neighbour, and he should die, he shall flee to one of these cities, and live.
Ekyokulabirako kiikino: Singa omuntu agenda ne munne okutema omuti mu kibira n’embazzi, naye ng’abadde agiwuuba ateme omuti, embazzi n’ewanguka mu kiti kyayo, n’etema munne n’afa, eyasse anaayinzanga okuddukira mu kimu ku bibuga ebyo, n’atattibwa.
6 Lest the avenger of blood pursue after the slayer, because his heart is hot, and overtake him, if the way be too long, and kill him, though there is to this man no sentence of death, because he hated him not in time past.
Ebibuga ebyo tebisaanira kuba wala nnyo, kubanga oli ayagala okuwalanira omufu eggwanga bw’anaafubanga okugoba eyasse embiro okutuusa ng’amukutte, aleme kusobola kumukwata, naye n’amutta, songa eyasse oli yali tagenderedde kutta munne, kubanga ku bombi tekwaliko mulabe wa munne.
7 Therefore I charge you, saying, You shall separate for your self three cities.
Kyenva nkulagira okweyawulirangako ebibuga bisatu.
8 And if the Lord shall enlarge your borders, as he sware to your fathers, and the Lord shall give to you all the land which he said he would give to your fathers;
Mukama Katonda wo bw’anaakugaziyirizanga amatwale go, nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabo, n’akuwa ettaka lyonna lye yasuubiza bajjajjaabo,
9 if you shall listen to do all these commands, which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways continually; you shall add for yourself yet three cities to these three.
kasita onookwatanga amateeka gonna ge nkulagira leero, kwe kwagalanga Mukama Katonda wo, n’okutambuliranga mu makubo ge, kale ku bibuga bino ebisatu onooyongerangako ebirala bisatu.
10 So innocent blood shall not be spilt in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, and there shall not be in you one guilty of blood.
Ekyo onookikolanga okuziyiza omusaayi gw’omuntu ataliiko musango okuyiikira obwereere mu nsi yo Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obusika bwo obw’enkalakkalira, omusaayi oguyiise gulemenga kubeera ku ggwe.
11 But if there should be in you a man hating his neighbour, and he should lay wait for him, and rise up against him, and strike him, that he die, and he should flee to one of these cities,
Naye omuntu bw’anaabanga n’ekiruyi ku munne, n’amwekwekerera n’amutta, n’alyoka addukira mu kimu ku bibuga ebyo,
12 then shall the elders of his city send, and take him thence, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the avengers of blood, and he shall die.
abakulembeze abakulu ab’omu kibuga ky’omutemu, banaamutumyangayo ne bamuggyayo, ne bamukwasa anaabanga agenda okuwoolera eggwanga ery’omusaayi gw’omufu, omutemu n’alyoka attibwa.
13 Your eye shall not spare him; so shall you purge innocent blood from Israel, and it shall be well with you.
Tomusaasiranga. Kikugwanira okumalirawo ddala mu Isirayiri okuyiwa omusaayi ogutaliiko musango, olyoke obeerenga bulungi n’emirembe.
14 You shall not move the landmarks of your neighbour, which your fathers set in the inheritance, in which you have obtained a share in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.
Tosimbulanga bituuti ebiri mu mpenda eziraga ensalo ya buli muntu ne muliraanwa we, ebyasimbibwawo ab’omu mirembe egyasooka, ebiraga ettaka ly’onoogabana mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okugirya.
15 One witness shall not stand to testify against a man for any iniquity, or for any fault, or for any sin which he may commit; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, shall every word be established.
Omujulizi omu taamalenga, okusinzisa omuntu omusango gw’anaabanga azzizza, oba olw’ekikolwa ekibi ky’anaabanga akoze nga kyekuusa ku musango gw’anaabanga azzizza. Wanaamalanga kubeerawo obujulizi bw’abantu babiri oba basatu, olwo nno ekivunaanwa omuntu oyo ne kiryoka kinywezebwa.
16 And if an unjust witness rise up against a man, alleging iniquity against him;
Omujulizi ow’obulimba bw’aneesowolangayo n’avunaana omuntu nti musobya,
17 then shall the two men between whom the controversy is, stand before the Lord, and before the priests, and before the judges, who may be in those days.
abantu bombi abawozaŋŋanya banajjanga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda awali bakabona n’abalamuzi abanaabanga ku mulimu mu kiseera ekyo.
18 And the judges shall make diligent enquiry, and, behold, [if] and unjust witness has borne unjust testimony; [and] has stood up against his brother;
Abalamuzi kinaabagwaniranga okubuulirizanga ennyo n’obwegendereza. Omujulizi oyo bw’anaakakasibwanga nga mulimba, ng’obujulizi bw’awadde ku munne bugingirire,
19 then shall you do to him as he wickedly devised to do against his brother, and you shall remove the evil from yourselves.
munaamukolangako nga naye bw’abadde ayagala munne akolweko. Bw’atyo n’omalirawo ddala ebikolwa ebibi ebiri wakati mu mmwe.
20 And the rest shall hear and fear, and do no more according to this evil thing in the midst of you.
Abalala bwe banaakiwuliranga banaatyanga, ng’olwo mu mmwe temukyali baddayo kuzzanga musango gufaanana ng’ogwo.
21 Your eye shall not spare him: [you shall exact] life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Tobasaasiranga; obulamu busasulwenga na bulamu, eriiso olw’eriiso, erinnyo olw’erinnyo, omukono olw’omukono n’ekigere olw’ekigere.
