< Numbers 6 >

1 The Lord told Moses,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 “Tell the Israelites: If a man or a woman makes a special promise to become a Nazirite, to dedicate themselves to the Lord,
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, Omusajja oba omukazi bw’anaabanga ayagala okukola obweyamo obw’enjawulo obutali bwa bulijjo ne yeetukuza ne yeeyawula eri Mukama ng’Omunazaalayiti,
3 they must not drink any wine or other alcoholic drink. They must not even drink vinegar made from wine or other alcoholic drink, or any grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
anaateekwanga obutanywa nvinnyo n’ekyokunywa ekirala kyonna ekitamiiza, era taanywenga nvinnyo wadde ekitamiiza ekirala kyonna ekikaatuuse. Era taalyenga ku bibala bya mizabbibu wadde ensigo zaabyo.
4 The whole time they are dedicated to the Lord they must not eat anything from a grapevine, not even grape seeds or skins.
Ebbanga lyonna ly’anaamalanga nga Munnazaalayiti taalyenga ku kintu kyonna ekiva mu mizabbibu newaakubadde ensigo wadde ebikuta.
5 They must not use a razor on their heads during the whole time of this promise of dedication. They must remain holy until their time of dedication to the Lord is finished. They must let their hair grow long.
“Ebbanga lyonna ly’anaamalanga ng’ali mu bweyamo bwe obwo, kkirita teyitenga ku mutwe gwe. Anaabanga mutukuvu eri Mukama Katonda okutuusa ekiseera kye eky’okweyawula nga kiweddeko; era enviiri ez’oku mutwe gwe anaazirekanga ne zikula ne ziwanvuwa.
6 During this time of dedication to the Lord they must not go near a dead body.
Ebbanga lyonna ly’anaamalanga mu bweyamo bwe obwo eri Mukama Katonda, taasembererenga muntu afudde.
7 Even if it's their father, mother, brother or sister who has died, they are not to make themselves unclean, because their uncut hair announces their dedication to God.
Newaakubadde kitaawe, oba nnyina, oba muganda we oba mwannyina nga kwe kuli afudde, taabasembererenga alemenga okufuuka atali mulongoofu, kubanga akabonero ak’obweyamo obw’okweyawula eri Katonda kanaabanga kali ku mutwe gwe.
8 Through the whole time of their dedication they are to be holy to the Lord.
Okumala ebbanga lyonna ery’obweyamo bwe obw’okweyawula, anaabanga mutukuvu eri Mukama Katonda.
9 However, if someone dies suddenly close to them, making them unclean, they must wait seven days, and on the seventh day when they are made clean again they are to shave their heads.
“Omuntu bw’anaafanga ekikutuko ng’aliraanye omuwonge oyo, bw’atyo n’afuula enviiri ze okuba ezitali nnongoofu, kale, anaamwanga omutwe gwe ku lunaku olw’okwerongoosa, lwe lunaku olw’omusanvu.
10 On the eighth day they shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Ku lunaku olw’omunaana anaaleetanga amayiba abiri oba enjiibwa ento bbiri eri kabona ku mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
11 The priest will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make them right, because they became guilty by being near the dead body. On that day they must re-dedicate themselves and let their hair grow again.
Kabona anaawangayo ekimu ku ebyo ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ekyokubiri ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa olw’okumutangiririra kubanga yali ayonoonye bwe yaliraana omuntu afudde. Ku lunaku olwo lwe lumu, kw’anaatukulizangako omutwe gwe.
12 They must re-dedicate themselves to the Lord for the full time they originally promised and bring a one-year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days don't count towards the time of dedication because they became unclean.
Aneewangayo eri Mukama Katonda okumala ebbanga lyonna ery’obweyamo bwe obw’okweyawula, era anaaleetanga omwana gw’endiga omulume n’aguwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo olw’okusingibwa omusango. Ennaku ezaasooka teziibalibwenga kubanga yafuuka atali mulongoofu mu bbanga ery’obweyamo bwe obw’okweyawula.
13 These are the rules to be observed when the Nazirite's time of dedication is finished. They are to be taken to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
“Lino ly’etteeka erinaakwatanga ku Munnazaalayiti ebbanga lye ery’obweyamo obw’okweyawula bwe linaggwangako. Anaaleetebwanga ku mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
14 There they are to present an offering to the Lord of a one-year-old male lamb without defects as a burnt offering, a one-year-old female lamb without defects as a sin offering, and ram without defects as a peace offering.
Anaawangayo ebirabo bye eby’ebiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda, bye bino: omwana gw’endiga omulume ogw’omwaka ogumu ogw’obukulu ogutaliiko kamogo nga gwe gw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa; n’omwana gw’endiga omuluusi ogutaliiko kamogo nga gwe gw’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi; n’endiga ennume etaliiko kamogo nga ye y’ekiweebwayo olw’emirembe;
15 In addition they are to bring a basket of bread without yeast made from the best flour mixed with olive oil and wafers without yeast coated with olive oil as well as their grain offerings and drink offerings.
n’ekibbo ky’emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse; ne kkeeke ezikoleddwa mu buwunga obulungi obutabuddwamu n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni agafumba; n’obusukuuti obw’oluwewere obutali buzimbulukuse obusiigiddwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni, n’ebiweebwayo eby’emmere y’empeke n’ebiweebwayo eby’ebyokunywa.
16 The priest will present all these before the Lord as well as sacrificing the sin offering and the burnt offering.
“Kabona anaabireetanga awali Mukama Katonda, n’awaayo ekiweebwayo kye olw’ekibi n’ekiweebwayo kye ekyokebwa.
17 He will also sacrifice a ram as a peace offering to the Lord, together with the basket of bread made without yeast. In addition the priest will present the grain offering and drink offering.
Anaawangayo endiga ennume nga ssaddaaka ey’ekiweebwayo olw’emirembe eri Mukama Katonda awamu n’ekibbo ky’emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse; era kabona anaawangayo ekiweebwayo eky’emmere y’empeke n’ekiweebwayo eky’ebyokunywa.
18 Then the Nazirites are to shave their heads at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They shall take the hair from their heads that were dedicated, and place it on the fire under the peace offering.
“Omunnazaalayiti anaamweranga omutwe gwe ogw’obuwonge bwe ku mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu; anaddiranga enviiri ezivudde ku mutwe ogw’obuwonge bwe n’azissa ku muliro oguli wansi wa ssaddaaka ey’ekiweebwayo olw’emirembe.
19 Once the Nazirites have shaved, the priest will take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one bread without yeast from the basket, and one wafer without yeast, and place them in their hands.
“Omunnazaalayiti bw’anaamalanga okumwa omutwe gwe ogw’obuwonge bwe, kabona anaddiranga omukono gw’endiga omufumbe, n’aggya ne kkeeke etali nzimbulukuse emu mu kibbo, n’akasukuuti ak’oluwewere akatali kazimbulukuse kamu, n’abimukwasa mu ngalo ze.
20 The priest will wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. These items are holy and belong to the priest, as well as the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was offered. Once this is finished, Nazirites may drink wine.
Kabona anaabiwuubanga nga kye kiweebwayo ekiwuubibwa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda. Binaabanga bitukuvu era nga bya kabona awamu n’ekifuba ekiwuubibwa n’ekisambi ekinaaweebwangayo. Ebyo bwe binaggwanga, Omunnazaalayiti anaayinzanga okunywa envinnyo.
21 These are the rules to be observed when a Nazirite promises to give offerings to the Lord regarding their dedication. They can also bring additional offerings if they can afford it. Every Nazirite must fulfill whatever promises they have made when they dedicated themselves.”
“Eryo lye tteeka ery’Omunnazaalayiti aneeyamanga okwewaayo eri Mukama Katonda ng’obweyamo bwe obw’okweyawula bwe bunaabanga, ng’agasseeko n’ebirala nga bw’anaasobolanga. Anaateekwanga okutuukiriza obweyamo bwe bwanaabanga akoze, ng’etteeka ly’Omunnazaalayiti bwe liragira.”
22 The Lord told Moses,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. This is what they are to say:
“Tegeeza Alooni ne batabani be nti, Bwe muti bwe munaasabiranga abaana ba Isirayiri omukisa: munaabagambanga nti:
24 ‘May the Lord bless you and take care of you.
“‘Mukama Katonda akuwe omukisa, akukuume;
25 May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
Mukama Katonda akwakize amaaso ge akukwatirwe ekisa;
26 May the Lord watch over you and give you peace.’
Mukama Katonda akwolekeze amaaso ge akuwe emirembe.’
27 Whenever the priests bless the Israelites in my name, I will bless them.”
“Bwe batyo banaateekanga erinnya lyange ku baana ba Isirayiri, nange naabawanga omukisa.”
