< Deuteronomy 13 >
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or one that dreameth dreams, and he give thee 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 that he told unto thee, when he said, Let us go after other gods, whom thou hast not known, and let us serve them,
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 — thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah 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 Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and ye shall fear him, and his commandments shall ye keep, and his voice shall ye hear; and ye shall serve him, and unto him shall ye cleave.
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 dreams, shall be put to death; for he hath spoken revolt against Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, — to draw thee out of the way that Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
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 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is to thee as thy soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (whom thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
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 peoples which are round about you, near unto thee, or far from thee, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth),
bakatonda ab’abantu ababeetoolodde, ab’oku muliraano, oba abeewala, okuva ensi gy’etandikira ne gy’ekoma,
8 thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye spare him, neither shalt thou pity him, neither shalt thou screen him,
tomuwulirizanga, so by’anaakugambanga tobikolanga. Tomusaasiranga era tomuzibiikirizanga wadde okumusonyiwanga.
9 but thou shalt in any case kill him: thy hand shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people;
Omuttiranga ddala. Gw’omusokangako ng’attibwa n’abantu bonna ne bassa okwo.
10 and thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; for he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God who brought thee 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 do no more any such wicked thing as this in thy midst.
Kale Isirayiri yonna banaakiwuliranga banaatyanga, era tewaabeerengawo mu mmwe n’omu anaddangayo okukola ekibi ng’ekyo.
12 If in one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee to dwell there, thou hearest, saying,
Bw’owuliranga mu kimu ku bibuga Mukama Katonda wo by’akuwa okubeerangamu,
13 There are men, children of Belial, gone out from among you, and they have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, whom ye have not known;
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 shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and if it be truth, [and] the thing be certain, that this abomination hath happened in the midst of thee,
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 thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it to destruction, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
kale, abantu bonna abanaabeeranga mu kibuga onoobattanga n’ekitala, awamu n’ebisolo byabwe bye balunda byonna.
16 And all the spoil of it shalt thou gather into the midst of the open place thereof, and shalt burn the city with fire, and all the spoil thereof, wholly to Jehovah thy God; and it shall be a heap 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 thou shalt not let anything cleave to thy hand of the devoted thing; that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy 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 when thou hearkenest to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, that thou mayest do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy 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.
