Leviticus 19
1 The Lord told Moses,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa
2 “Tell all the Israelites: You must be holy because I am holy; I am the Lord your God.
ategeeze ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri abagambe nti, “Mubeerenga batukuvu, kubanga nze Mukama Katonda wammwe ndi mutukuvu.
3 Show respect for your mother and father, and keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
“Buli omu mu mmwe assengamu nnyina ne kitaawe ekitiibwa; era mukuumenga Ssabbiiti zange. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
4 Don't turn to idols for help or make for metal images of gods. I am the Lord your God.
“Temulaganga mu bitali Katonda, era temwekoleranga bakatonda abaweese mu kyuma ekisaanuuse. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
5 When you sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, make sure you do it correctly so God will accept you.
“Bwe munaawangayo eri Mukama ekiweebwayo olw’emirembe, mukiwengayo mu butuufu kiryoke kikkirizibwe.
6 It needs to be eaten the day you sacrifice it, or the next day. Whatever is left over on the third day must be burned.
Kinaalibwanga ku lunaku olwo lwe kinaaweebwangayo oba enkeera; ekinaabanga kisigaddewo okutuusa ku lunaku olwokusatu kinaazikiribwanga mu muliro.
7 If you do eat some of it on the third day, the sacrifice becomes repulsive and won't be accepted.
Singa kiriibwa ku lunaku olwokusatu tekiibenga kirongoofu, era tekikkirizibwenga,
8 Anyone who eats it eats it will bear responsibility for their guilt, for they have made unclean what is holy to the Lord. They must be expelled from their people.
ne buli anaakiryangako anaabanga azzizza omusango; kubanga anaabeeranga aweebudde ekintu kya Mukama ekitukuvu; omuntu oyo anaagobwanga n’agaanibwa okukolagananga ne banne.
9 When you harvest the crops grown on your land, don't harvest right up to the edges of your field, or collect what has been missed.
“Bw’okungulanga ekyengera eky’omu ttaka lyo, tokunguliranga ddala ebibala byonna eby’omu nnimiro yo okutuuka ku nkomerero zaayo, oba okukuŋŋaanya obubala obutonotono obunaabanga bugudde wansi ng’okungula.
10 Don't take every last grape from your vineyard or pick up the ones that have fallen. Leave them for the poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.
Ennimiro yo ey’emizabbibu togimalirangamu ddala bibala byonna, n’ebyo ebibanga bigudde wansi tobikuŋŋaanyanga. Obirekeranga abaavu ne bannamawanga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
11 Don't steal. Don't lie. Don't deceive each other.
“Tobbanga. “Tokumpanyanga. “Temulimbagananga.
12 Don't swear oaths in my name that are not true, otherwise you defame the character of your God. I am the Lord.
“Tokozesanga linnya lyange ng’olayira ebitaliimu nsa, n’ovumisa erinnya lya Katonda wo. Nze Mukama.
13 Don't cheat others or rob them. Don't refuse to pay wages due to workers until the morning.
“Muliraanwa wo tomujooganga so tomunyagangako bibye. “Tosulanga na mpeera ya mupakasi wo n’omala nayo ekiro kyonna okutuusa enkya nga tonnagimusasula.
14 Don't speak badly about deaf people. Don't put objects in the way of blind people to trip them up. Instead show respect to your God. I am the Lord.
“Omuggavu w’amatu tomukolimiranga, so n’omuzibe w’amaaso tomuteganga nkonge w’anaayita, naye otyanga Katonda wo. Nze Mukama.
15 Don't be a corrupt judge. Don't show favoritism to the poor or to the rich. Judge others fairly.
“Tosalirizanga ng’olamula; tobanga na kyekubiira ku ludda lw’omwavu wadde okwekubiira ku ludda lw’ow’ekitiibwa, banno obasalirangawo mu bwenkanya.
16 Don't go around spreading false rumors about people. Don't keep quiet when the lives of others are at risk. I am the Lord.
“Togendanga ng’osaasaanya eŋŋambo mu banno. “Tokolanga kintu kyonna ku munno ekiyinza okumuleetera okufiirwa obulamu bwe. Nze Mukama.
17 Don't hold onto hateful feelings towards others. Talk honestly with your neighbors, so that you don't sin because of them.
“Muganda wo tomukyawanga mu mutima gwo. Naye munno ng’asobezza, omunenyanga, si kulwa nga naawe ogwa mu kibi nga ye.
18 Don't look for revenge or hold a grudge against anybody, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

19 Do what I tell you! Don't make different kinds of livestock breed together. Don't sow your fields with two different kinds of seed. Don't wear clothes made of two different kinds of material.
“Okwatanga amateeka gange. “Tokkirizanga nsolo za ngeri ndala kuzaazisa mu nsolo zo. “Mu nnimiro yo tosimbangamu nsigo za ngeri bbiri. “Toyambalanga kyambalo eky’olugoye olw’ebiwero eby’engeri ebbiri.
20 If a man has sex with a servant girl promised to become another man's wife, but who hasn't yet been bought or set free, then compensation has to be paid. However, they are not to be killed, because she hadn't been set free.
“Omusajja bw’aneebakanga n’omuddu omukazi n’amusobyako, naye ng’omukazi oyo tannaweebwa ddembe lye, kyokka ng’aliko omusajja amwogereza, wanaabangawo okuwozesebwa n’ebibonerezo, naye tebattibwenga, kubanga omukazi anaabanga tannaweebwa ddembe lye.
21 But the man must bring a ram as his guilt offering to the Lord at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
Naye omusajja anaaleetanga endiga ennume ku mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga ky’ekiweebwayo kye eri Mukama eky’omusango.
22 The priest will set things right for him before the Lord using the ram of the guilt offering for the sin he has committed, and his sin will be forgiven.
Kabona anaakozesanga endiga ennume ey’ekiweebwayo olw’omusango okutangiririra omusajja oyo eri Mukama; era ekibi kye ky’anaabanga akoze kinaamusonyiyibwanga.
23 When you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, treat the fruit at first as unclean. For three years you are forbidden to eat it.
“Bwe muyingiranga mu nsi ne musimba emiti egya buli ngeri egy’ebibala ebyokulya, mukitegeere nti ebibala byagyo biriba ng’ebiwereddwa. Biriwerebwa okumala emyaka esatu; tebijjanga kuliibwanga.
24 The fourth year all the fruit must be dedicated to the Lord as a praise offering.
Mu mwaka ogwokuna ebibala byako byonna binaabanga bitukuvu, nga kye kiweebwayo eri Mukama eky’okumutendereza.
25 However, the fifth year you may eat the fruit and in this way you will have an even greater harvest. I am the Lord your God.
Naye mu mwaka ogwokutaano munaayinzanga okulya ku bibala byako. Mu ngeri eno ebibala byako bigenda kweyongeranga nnyo. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.

35 Don't use dishonest weights and measures.
“Temubangamu kyekubiira nga mupima obuwanvu, oba obuzito, oba obungi bw’ebintu.
36 Make sure your scales and weights are accurate, that your measures of ephah and hin are correct. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt.
Mubanga ne minzaani entuufu, n’amayinja agapima obuzito amatuufu, n’ekipima ebikalu (efa) ekituufu, n’ekipima ebiyiikayiika ng’amazzi (ini) ekituufu. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe, eyabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri.
37 Keep all my rules and regulations, and make sure you follow them. I am the Lord.”
“Munaakwatanga amateeka gange gonna, n’ebiragiro byange byonna, okubitambulirangako. Nze Mukama.”
