< Deuteronomy 24 >

1 When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, it shall be if she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a letter of divorce, and give it into her hand, and send her 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 she shall depart out of his house, and go away, and may become another man's wife.
omukazi oyo anaayinzanga okwefunira omusajja omulala n’amufumbirwa.
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a letter of divorce, and give it into her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die who took her as his 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 her first husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for it is an abomination before Jehovah; and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
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 When a man hath newly taken a wife, he shall not go out with the army, neither shall any kind of business be imposed upon him; he shall be free for his house one year, and shall gladden his wife whom he hath 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 No man shall take the hand-mill or the upper millstone in pledge; for it would be taking life in 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 If a man be found who hath stolen one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and who hath treated him as a slave and sold him, that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
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 in the plague of leprosy, that thou take great heed, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them shall ye take heed to do.
Bwe wanaagwangawo obulwadde obw’olususu ng’obw’ebigenge, weegenderezanga nnyo, n’ogonderanga ebyo Abaleevi, bakabona, bye banaabalagiranga okukola, nga bwe mbalagidde.
9 Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam on the way, after that ye came forth out of Egypt.
Ojjukiranga Mukama Katonda wo kye yakola Miryamu nga muli mu lugendo lwammwe nga muva mu Misiri.
10 When thou dost lend thy brother anything, thou shalt not go into his house to secure his pledge.
Bw’owolanga munno ekintu eky’engeri yonna, toyingiranga mu nnyumba ya munno oyo okunonamu omusingo.
11 Thou shalt stand outside, and the man to whom thou hast made a loan shall bring out the pledge to thee without.
Ggwe awoze onaabeeranga wabweru n’olindirira oyo gw’onoobanga owoze, okukuleetera omusingo ogwo.
12 And if the man be needy, thou shalt not lie down with his pledge;
Gw’owoze bw’anaabanga omwavu, ekyambalo ky’anaabanga akuwadde ng’omusingo, tosulanga nakyo.
13 in any case thou shalt return him the pledge at the going down of the sun, that he may sleep in his own upper garment and bless thee; and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Jehovah thy 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 Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant [who is] poor and needy of thy brethren, or of thy sojourners who are in thy land within thy gates:
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 on his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and his soul yearneth after it; lest he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be a sin in thee.
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 sons, neither shall the sons be put to death for the fathers: every man 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 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [or] of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge a widow's garment.
Bannamawanga b’onoobeeranga nabo, n’abaana bamulekwa, obasaliranga emisango gyabwe n’obwenkanya, era totwalanga kyambalo kya nnamwandu ng’omusingo.
18 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Ojjukiranga nga bwe wali omuddu mu Misiri, naye Mukama Katonda wo n’akununulayo. Kyenva nkulagira okukolanga bw’otyo.
19 When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not return to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy 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 When thou shakest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
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 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterwards; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Bw’onookungulanga emizabbibu okuva mu nnimiro yo, toddangamu mulundi gwakubiri. Ebibala ebinaabanga bisigaddeko onoobirekeranga bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa ne bannamwandu.
22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Ojjukiranga nga bwe wali omuddu mu nsi ey’e Misiri; kyenva nkulagira okukolanga bw’otyo.
