Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not receiue a false tale, neyther shalt thou put thine hande with the wicked, to be a false witnes.
“Tosaasaanyanga ŋŋambo. Teweegattanga na muntu mubi, ng’owa obujulirwa obw’obulimba bulyoke bumuyambe.
2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do euil, neither agree in a controuersie to decline after many and ouerthrowe the trueth.
“Tokolagananga na kibiina ky’omanyi nga bye kiriko bikyamu. Bw’obanga owa obujulirwa mu musango, tokkirizanga kusikibwa kibiina ne kikuweesa obujulizi obw’obulimba nga weekubira ku ludda lwe kiriko;
3 Thou shalt not esteeme a poore man in his cause.
era towanga bujulirwa bukyamu oyambe omuntu yenna olwokubanga mwavu.
4 If thou meete thine enemies oxe, or his asse going astray, thou shalt bring him to him againe.
“Bw’osanganga ente y’omulabe wo, oba endogoyi ye, ng’ebuzze ogimuddizangayo eka.
5 If thou see thine enemies asse lying vnder his burden, wilt thou cease to helpe him? thou shalt helpe him vp againe with it.
Bw’olabanga endogoyi y’omuntu atakwagala, ng’omugugu gugisudde wansi, togirekanga, naye omuyambangako okugiyimusa.
6 Thou shalt not ouerthrowe the right of thy poore in his sute.
“Tolemanga kusalirawo muntu nsonga ze mu bwenkanya, olwokubanga mwavu.
7 Thou shalt keepe thee farre from a false matter, and shalt not slaye the innocent and the righteous: for I will not iustifie a wicked man.
Teweeyingizanga mu nsonga za bulimba, era tottanga muntu atalina kibi oba atazzizza musango, kubanga aliko omusango sigenda kumwejjeereza.
8 Thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and peruerteth the wordes of the righteous.
“Tolyanga nguzi, kubanga enguzi eziba omuntu amaaso n’ekyamya n’abatuukirivu.
9 Thou shalt not oppresse a stranger: for ye knowe the heart of a stranger, seeing yee were strangers in the land of Egypt.
“Temuwalagganyanga munnaggwanga, kubanga mmwe bennyini mumanyi nga bwe kiri okuba bannaggwanga, kubanga mwali bannaggwanga mu nsi y’e Misiri.
10 Moreouer, sixe yeres thou shalt sowe thy land, and gather the fruites thereof,
“Mu myaka omukaaga osigirangamu emmere yo mu nnimiro zo era n’ogikungula;
11 But the seuenth yeere thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poore of thy people may eat, and what they leaue, the beastes of the fielde shall eate. In like maner thou shalt doe with thy vineyard, and with thine oliue trees.
naye mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu ettaka olirekanga ne liwummula, abaavu mu mmwe basobolenga okulya ku mmere okuva mu bimererezi; eneefikkangawo ebisolo by’omu nsiko binaagiryanga. Era bw’otyo bw’onookolanga n’ennimiro zo ez’emizabbibu n’ez’emizeeyituuni.
12 Sixe dayes thou shalt do thy worke, and in the seuenth day thou shalt rest, that thine oxe, and thine asse may rest, and the sonne of thy maide and the stranger may be refreshed.
“Mu nnaku omukaaga mw’okoleranga emirimu gyo, naye ku lunaku olw’omusanvu tokolanga, ente yo n’endogoyi yo ziryoke zisobole okuwummulako; ne mutabani w’omuweereza wo, ne munnaggwanga ali mu maka go bawummuleko baddemu endasi.
13 And ye shall take heede to all things that I haue sayde vnto you: and ye shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall it be heard out of thy mouth.
“Weegenderezanga n’okolanga byonna bye nkulagidde. Bakatonda abalala toboogerangako, era amannya gaabwe tegayitanga mu kamwa ko.
14 Three times thou shalt keepe a feast vnto me in the yeere.
“Ononkoleranga embaga emirundi esatu buli mwaka.
15 Thou shalt keepe the feast of vnleauened bread: thou shalt eate vnleauened bread seue dayes, as I commanded thee, in the season of the moneth of Abib: for in it thou camest out of Egypt: and none shall appeare before me emptie:
“Onookolanga Embaga ey’Emigaati Egitali Mizimbulukuse. Onoolyanga omugaati ogutaliimu kizimbulukusa okumala ennaku musanvu, nga bwe nakulagira. Kino okikolanga mu kiseera ekyategekebwa, mu mwezi gwa Abibu, kubanga mu mwezi ogwo mwe waviira mu nsi y’e Misiri. “Tewabangawo ajja gye ndi engalo ensa.
16 The feast also of the haruest of the first fruites of thy labours, which thou hast sowen in the fielde: and the feast of gathering fruites in the ende of the yere, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the fielde.
“Onookolanga Embaga ey’Amakungula ey’ebibala ebibereberye eby’ebirime bye wasiga mu nnimiro yo. “Onookolanga Embaga ey’Amayingiza buli nkomerero ya mwaka, bw’onookuŋŋaanyanga ebibala by’omu nnimiro, n’obiyingiza.
17 These three times in the yeere shall all thy men children appeare before the Lord Iehouah.
“Abasajja bonna banajjanga awali Mukama Katonda emirundi egyo esatu buli mwaka.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leauened bread: neyther shall the fatte of my sacrifice remayne vntill the morning.
“Temuwangayo kintu kyonna gye ndi ekirimu ekizimbulukusa nga mundeetedde ssaddaaka erimu omusaayi; n’amasavu aga ssaddaaka yange tegasulangawo kutuusa nkeera.
19 The first of the first fruites of thy lande thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not seeth a kid in his mothers milke.
“Ebibala ebisinga obulungi mu ebyo ebisoose okuva mu ttaka lyo obitwalanga mu nnyumba ya Mukama Katonda wo. Tofumbanga akaana k’embuzi mu mata ga nnyina waako.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keepe thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place which I haue prepared.
“Laba, ntuma malayika akukulembere, akutuuse bulungi mu kifo kye nteeseteese.
21 Beware of him, and heare his voyce, and prouoke him not: for he will not spare your misdeedes, because my name is in him.
Omuwulirizanga, era ogonderanga by’agamba. Tomujeemeranga; bw’olijeema tagenda kukusonyiwa, kubanga aliba akola mu Linnya lyange.
22 But if thou hearken vnto his voyce, and do all that I speake, the I wil be an enemie vnto thine enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.
Naye bw’onoowulirizanga eddoboozi lye, n’okola nga bwe ŋŋamba, kale nnaakyawanga abakukyawa, n’abalabe bo banaabanga balabe bange.
23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee vnto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, and I will destroy them.
Malayika wange alikwesooka mu maaso akukulemberenga akutuuse mu nsi y’Abamoli, ne mu y’Abakiiti, ne mu y’Abaperezi, ne mu y’Abakanani, ne mu y’Abakiivi, ne mu y’Abayebusi, nange ndibazikiririza ddala.
24 Thou shalt not bow downe to their gods, neither serue them, nor doe after the workes of them: but vtterly ouerthrowe them, and breake in pieces their images.
Tovuunamiranga bakatonda baabwe, so tobaweerezanga, era tokwatanga mpisa zaabwe, wabula obabetetaranga ddala, n’omenyaamenya n’empagi zaabwe.
25 For ye shall serue the Lord your God, and he shall blesse thy bread and thy water, and I will take all sickenes away from the middes of thee.
Oweerezanga Mukama Katonda wo yekka, emmere yo n’amazzi go ndyoke mbiwe omukisa. Ndiggyawo endwadde mu mmwe;
26 There shall none cast their fruite nor be baren in thy lande: the number of thy dayes will I fulfill.
tewaabengawo mugumba wadde avaamu olubuto. Ennaku z’obulamu bwo zonna nnaazituukirizanga.
27 I will send my feare before thee, and will destroy all the people among whome thou shalt go: and I will make all thine enemies turne their backes vnto thee:
“Nnaasindikanga ekikangabwa mu mawanga agaagala okukwolekera, ne ntabulatabula abo bonna abanaakwegezangamu, era abalabe bo nnaabafuumuulanga emisinde.
28 And I will sende hornets before thee, which shall driue out the Hiuites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from thy face.
Ndisindika ennumba ne zikukulembera, ne zigoba Abakiivi, n’Abakanani, n’Abakiiti ne bakuviira mu kkubo lyo.
29 I will not cast them out from thy face in one yeere, least the land grow to a wildernes: and the beasts of the field multiplie against thee.
Naye mu nsi omwo siribagobamu mu mwaka gumu, ebikande bireme kusukkirira, n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko ne zaala ne zibayitirira obungi.
30 By litle and litle I will driue them out from thy face, vntill thou increase, and inherite the lande.
Nzijanga kubagobamu mpola mpola, okutuusa nga mwaze ne mulyoka mulya ensi eyo.
31 And I will make thy coastes from the red sea vnto the sea of the Philistims, and from the desert vnto the Riuer: for I will deliuer the inhabitants of the lande into your hande, and thou shalt driue them out from thy face.
“Ndisala ensalo zammwe okuva ku Nnyanja Emyufu okutuuka ku Nnyanja y’Abafirisuuti, n’okuva ku ddungu okutuuka ku Mugga Fulaati. Abantu b’omu nsi omwo ndibabawa, ne mubagobamu.
32 Thou shalt make no couenant with them, nor with their gods:
Temukolanga nabo ndagaano, wadde ne bakatonda baabwe.
33 Neither shall they dwell in thy lande, least they make thee sinne against me: for if thou serue their gods, surely it shall be thy destruction.
Temubakkirizanga kubeera mu nsi yammwe, tebalwa kubanyoomesa biragiro byange; kubanga singa muweereza bakatonda baabwe muliba mugudde mu mutego.”
