Deuteronomy 24
1 And if any one should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favour before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.
Omusajja bw’anaawasanga omukazi, naye oluvannyuma n’amukyawa, kubanga amuvumbuddeko ebitamusanyusa, bw’atyo n’amuwandiikira ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba, n’agimukwasa, n’amugoba mu nnyumba ye,
2 And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;
omukazi oyo anaayinzanga okwefunira omusajja omulala n’amufumbirwa.
3 and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;
Omusajja ono owookubiri naye bw’anaamukyawanga n’amuwandiikira ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba, n’agimukwasa, n’amugoba mu nnyumba ye, oba omusajja oyo owookubiri bw’anaafanga;
4 the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord your God, and you shall not defile the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.
bba eyasooka, eyali amugobye takkirizibwenga kuddamu kumuwasa kuba mukazi we, kubanga omukazi oyo anaabanga amaze okwebaka n’omusajja omulala. Ekyo kinaabanga kya kivve mu maaso ga Mukama. Totwalanga kibi mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obutaka bwo obw’enkalakkalira.
5 And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
Omusajja bw’anaabanga yaakawasa taalondebwenga kugenda kutabaala oba okuweebwa omulimu omulala omunene ng’ogwo. Anaasigalanga mu maka ge okumala ebbanga lya mwaka mulamba ng’asanyusa mukazi we gw’anaabanga awasizza.
6 You shall not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.
Omuntu bw’awolanga munne n’amusaba omusingo, oba akakalu, tamuggyangako lubengo oba enso ng’omusingo oba akakalu, kubanga mu musingo ng’ogwo, aba atwaliddemu obulamu bwa munne.
7 And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shall you remove that evil one from yourselves.
Omuntu bw’anaakwatibwanga ng’awamba, obanga atunda Omuyisirayiri munne mu buddu, kale omuwambi anattibwanga. Bw’otyo bw’onoomalangamu ekibi wakati mu mmwe.
8 Take heed to yourself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: you shall take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.
Bwe wanaagwangawo obulwadde obw’olususu ng’obw’ebigenge, weegenderezanga nnyo, n’ogonderanga ebyo Abaleevi, bakabona, bye banaabalagiranga okukola, nga bwe mbalagidde.
9 Remember all that the Lord your God did to Mariam in the way, when you were going out of Egypt.
Ojjukiranga Mukama Katonda wo kye yakola Miryamu nga muli mu lugendo lwammwe nga muva mu Misiri.
10 If your neighbour owe you a debt, any debt whatever, you shall not go into his house to take his pledge:
Bw’owolanga munno ekintu eky’engeri yonna, toyingiranga mu nnyumba ya munno oyo okunonamu omusingo.
11 you shall stand without, and the man who is in your debt shall bring the pledge out to you.
Ggwe awoze onaabeeranga wabweru n’olindirira oyo gw’onoobanga owoze, okukuleetera omusingo ogwo.
12 And if the man be poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge.
Gw’owoze bw’anaabanga omwavu, ekyambalo ky’anaabanga akuwadde ng’omusingo, tosulanga nakyo.
13 You shall surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless you; and it shall be mercy to you before the Lord your God.
Enjuba bw’eneebanga yaakagwa, onookiddizanga munno oyo alyoke akyebikke ekiro nga yeebase. Bw’atyo anaakwebazanga era kinaabanga kikolwa kya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
14 You shall not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of your brethren, or of the strangers who are in your cities.
Toyiikirizanga mwavu n’omupakasi ali mu kwetaaga, n’olwawo okumusasula empeera ye; ne bw’anaabanga Omuyisirayiri munno oba ow’okubannamawanga abanaabeeranga mu nsi yo nga basula mu kimu ku bibuga byo.
15 You shall pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and it shall be sin in you.
Onoomusasulanga empeera ye eya buli lunaku ng’enjuba tennaba kugwa, kubanga mwavu n’omutima gwe gubeera ku mpeera eyo. Kubanga bw’onoomulagajjaliranga, anaayinzanga okukaabirira Mukama Katonda n’akuloopayo, bw’otyo onoogwanga mu musango ogw’ekibi.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall be put to death for his own sin.
Bakitaabwe b’abaana tebattibwenga nga babalanganga abaana baabwe, n’abaana tebattibwenga nga babalanganga bakitaabwe; buli omu anattibwanga ng’alangibwanga ekibi kye ye yennyini.
17 You shall not wrest the judgement of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; you shall not take the widow's garment for a pledge.
Bannamawanga b’onoobeeranga nabo, n’abaana bamulekwa, obasaliranga emisango gyabwe n’obwenkanya, era totwalanga kyambalo kya nnamwandu ng’omusingo.
18 And you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from thence; therefore I charge you to do this thing.
Ojjukiranga nga bwe wali omuddu mu Misiri, naye Mukama Katonda wo n’akununulayo. Kyenva nkulagira okukolanga bw’otyo.
19 And when you shall have reaped corn in your field, and shall have forgotten a sheaf in your field, you shall not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.
Bw’onookungulanga ebibala mu nnimiro yo ne weerabirayo ekinywa mu nnimiro, toddangayo kukikima. Onookirekeranga omunnaggwanga oba omwana omufuuzi oba nnamwandu; bw’atyo Mukama alyoke akuwenga omukisa mu byonna by’onookolanga.
20 And if you should gather your olives, you shall not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
Bw’onookubanga emizeeyituuni okuva ku miti gyo, toddangayo ku matabi mulundi gwakubiri okumalirako ddala ebibala ebinaabanga bisigaddeko. Ebyo binaabanga bya bannamawanga, n’abaana bamulekwa ne bannamwandu.
21 And when soever you shall gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean what you have left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow:
Bw’onookungulanga emizabbibu okuva mu nnimiro yo, toddangamu mulundi gwakubiri. Ebibala ebinaabanga bisigaddeko onoobirekeranga bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa ne bannamwandu.
22 and you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
Ojjukiranga nga bwe wali omuddu mu nsi ey’e Misiri; kyenva nkulagira okukolanga bw’otyo.
