Leviticus 18
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, I am the Lord your God.
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
3 After ye doings of the land of Egypt, wherin ye dwelt, shall ye not doe: and after the maner of the land of Canaan, whither I will bring you, shall ye not do, neither walke in their ordinances,
Temusaana kweyisanga mu bikolwa byammwe ng’ab’omu Misiri, gye mwabeeranga, bwe beeyisa, era temusaana kweyisanga ng’ab’omu Kanani, gye mbatwala, bwe beeyisa. Temutambuliranga mu mateeka gaabwe.
4 But do after my iudgements, and keepe mine ordinances, to walke therein: I am the Lord your God.
Munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange, munaakwatanga amateeka gange, era mwe munaatambuliranga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
5 Ye shall keepe therefore my statutes, and my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall then liue in them: I am the Lord.
Mugonderenga ebiragiro byange awamu n’amateeka gange, kubanga buli muntu anaabikwatanga mu byo mwanaatambulizanga obulamu bwe. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
6 None shall come neere to any of ye kinred of his flesh to vncouer her shame: I am the Lord.
“‘Tewabanga omuntu yenna mu mmwe ajja eri munne gw’alinako oluganda ne yeebaka naye. Nze Mukama.
7 Thou shalt not vncouer the shame of thy father, nor the shame of thy mother: for she is thy mother, thou shalt not discouer her shame.
“‘Toleeteranga kitaawo buswavu ng’okola ebyensonyi ne nnyoko. Oyo ye maama wo eyakuzaala, teweebakanga naye ne mukola ebyensonyi, n’omuleetako obuswavu.
8 The shame of thy fathers wife shalt thou not discouer: for it is thy fathers shame.
“‘Teweebakanga na muka kitaawo ne mukola ebyensonyi, ekyo kireetera kitaawo obuswavu ne kimumalamu ekitiibwa.
9 Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy sister the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether shee bee borne at home, or borne without: thou shalt not discouer their shame.
“‘Teweebakanga na mwannyoko, azaalibwa kitaawo, oba azaalibwa nnyoko, ne bwe muba nga mwakulira mu maka gamu oba nga temwakulira wamu, tomukolangako bya nsonyi okumuleetera obuswavu.
10 The shame of thy sonnes daughter, or of thy daughters daughter, thou shalt not, I say, vncouer their shame: for it is thy shame.

13 Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy mothers sister: for she is thy mothers kinsewoman.
“‘Teweebakanga na muwala bwe bazaalibwa ne nnyoko n’okola naye ebyensonyi; kubanga oyo ne nnyoko ba musaayi gwe gumu.
14 Thou shalt not vncouer the shame of thy fathers brother: that is, thou shalt not goe in to his wife, for she is thine aunte.
“‘Toweebuulanga muganda wa kitaawo, ng’olaga eri mukazi we weebake naye mukole ebyensonyi; oyo maama wo omuto.
15 Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy daughter in lawe: for she is thy sonnes wife: therefore shalt thou not vncouer her shame.

16 Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy brothers wife. for it is thy brothers shame.

17 Thou shalt not discouer the shame of the wife and of her daughter, neither shalt thou take her sonnes daughter, nor her daughters daughter, to vncouer her shame: for they are thy kinsfolkes, and it were wickednesse.
“‘Teweebakanga na mukazi ate ne muwala we n’okola nabo ebyensonyi. Era teweebakanga na mwana muwala owa mutabani wa mukazi oyo oba na mwana muwala owa muwala we; kubanga abo ba musaayi gwe gumu n’ogw’omukazi oyo. Ekyo kibi kinene.
18 Also thou shalt not take a wife with her sister, during her life, to vexe her, in vncouering her shame vpon her.
“‘Toleetanga mukazi nga muganda wa mukyala wo ne badda mu kuvuganya, era ne weebaka naye ne mukola ebyensonyi nga mukyala wo akyali mulamu.
19 Thou shalt not also go vnto a woman to vncouer her shame, as long as she is put apart for her disease.

20 Moreouer, thou shalt not giue thy selfe to thy neighbours wife by carnall copulation, to be defiled with her.

21 Also thou shalt not giue thy children to offer them vnto Molech, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: for I am the Lord.
“‘Mu baana bo towangayo n’omu ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokeddwa mu muliro eri Moleki, kubanga erinnya lya Katonda wo tosaanira kuliweebuulanga. Nze Mukama.
22 Thou shalt not lie with ye male as one lieth with a woman: for it is abomination.
“‘Teweebakanga na musajja nga bwe wandyebase n’omukazi, ekyo kibi ekikyayibwa ennyo.
23 Thou shalt not also lie with any beast to bee defiled therewith, neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie downe thereto: for it is abomination.
“‘Tokolanga bya nsonyi ku nsolo kubanga ekyo kinaakufuulanga atali mulongoofu. Omukazi teyeewangayo eri ensolo emukoleko ebyensonyi, okwo kwe kuwabira ddala.
24 Yee shall not defile your selues in any of these things: for in al these the nations are defiled, which I will cast out before you:
“‘Temwereetangako obutali bulongoofu nga mugoberera amayisa ago amabi; kubanga n’amawanga ge ŋŋenda okugoba mu nsi mwe mujja okuyingira bwe geefuula bwe gatyo agatali malongoofu;
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I wil visit the wickednesse thereof vpon it, and the lande shall vomit out her inhabitants.
n’ensi n’efuuka etali nnongoofu, ne ngibonereza olw’ebyonoono byayo, n’abantu baamu abagibeeramu n’ebasesema.
26 Ye shall keepe therefore mine ordinances, and my iudgements, and commit none of these abominations, aswell hee that is of the same countrey, as the straunger that soiourneth among you.
Naye mmwe mukuumenga ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange. Abazaaliranwa ne bannamawanga abali mu mmwe tewabanga n’omu anaakolanga ku bintu ebyo n’akatono ebikyayibwa ennyo bwe bityo.
27 (For all these abominations haue the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled:
Kubanga ebintu ebyo byonna byakolebwanga abantu abaabasooka mmwe okubeera mu nsi omwo, ensi n’efuuka etali nnongoofu.
28 And shall not the lande spue you out if ye defile it, as it spued out the people that were before you?)
Ensi eyo bwe muligifuula etali nnongoofu, egenda kubasesema nga bwe yasesema amawanga agaabasooka okugibeeramu.
29 For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that doe so, shall bee cut off from among their people.
“‘Abantu bonna abanaakolanga ebintu ebyo ebibi ebikyayibwa ennyo, abantu ng’abo banaagobwanga ne bagaanibwa okukolagana ne bannaabwe.
30 Therefore shall yee keepe mine ordinances that ye do not any of the abominable customes, which haue bene done before you, and that yee defile not your selues therein: for I am the Lord your God.
Mukwatenga amateeka gange, nga mwewalanga okukola ebyonoono ebyo ebikyayibwa eby’amayisa amabi, abo abaabasooka ge beeyisanga si kulwa nga gabafuula abatali balongoofu. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.’”
