Leviticus 18
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: I am the LORD your God.
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
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 Mine ordinances shall ye do, and My statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
Munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange, munaakwatanga amateeka gange, era mwe munaatambuliranga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
5 Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by 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 of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness. I am the LORD.
“‘Tewabanga omuntu yenna mu mmwe ajja eri munne gw’alinako oluganda ne yeebaka naye. Nze Mukama.
7 The nakedness of thy father, and the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Toleeteranga kitaawo buswavu ng’okola ebyensonyi ne nnyoko. Oyo ye maama wo eyakuzaala, teweebakanga naye ne mukola ebyensonyi, n’omuleetako obuswavu.
8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.

9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
“‘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 nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; for theirs is thine own nakedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na muwala azaalibwa mutabani wo, oba muwala w’omwana wo omuwala, n’okola naye ebyensonyi; ekyo ne kikuleetako obuswavu.
11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na mwana wa muka kitaawo ow’obuwala eyazaalibwa kitaawo n’omukolako ebyensonyi; oyo mwannyoko. Tomuleeteranga bya buswavu.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
“‘Teweebakanga na mwannyina wa kitaawo n’okola naye ebyensonyi; oyo ne kitaawo ba musaayi gwe gumu.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister; for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
“‘Teweebakanga na muwala bwe bazaalibwa ne nnyoko n’okola naye ebyensonyi; kubanga oyo ne nnyoko ba musaayi gwe gumu.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy fathers brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
“‘Toweebuulanga muganda wa kitaawo, ng’olaga eri mukazi we weebake naye mukole ebyensonyi; oyo maama wo omuto.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she is thy son' wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na muka mutabani wo ne mukola ebyensonyi; kubanga oyo ye mukyala wa mutabani wo; tomuleeteranga bya buswavu.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na muka muganda wo ne mukola ebyensonyi, kubanga ekyo kinaaleeteranga muganda wo obuswavu.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are near kinswomen; it is lewdness.
“‘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 And thou shalt not take a woman to her sister, to be a rival to her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her lifetime.
“‘Toleetanga mukazi nga muganda wa mukyala wo ne badda mu kuvuganya, era ne weebaka naye ne mukola ebyensonyi nga mukyala wo akyali mulamu.
19 And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
“‘Tosembereranga mukazi ng’oyagala weebake naye omukoleko ebyensonyi ng’ali mu kiseera kye ekya buli mwezi eky’okuvaamu omusaayi mw’abeerera atali mulongoofu.
20 And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
“‘Teweebakanga na mukyala wa munnansi yammwe okumukolako ebyensonyi, n’akuleetera obutali bulongoofu.
21 And thou shalt not give any of thy seed to set them apart to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: 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 mankind, as with womankind; it is abomination.
“‘Teweebakanga na musajja nga bwe wandyebase n’omukazi, ekyo kibi ekikyayibwa ennyo.
23 And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto; it is perversion.
“‘Tokolanga bya nsonyi ku nsolo kubanga ekyo kinaakufuulanga atali mulongoofu. Omukazi teyeewangayo eri ensolo emukoleko ebyensonyi, okwo kwe kuwabira ddala.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out from 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 was defiled, therefore I did visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
n’ensi n’efuuka etali nnongoofu, ne ngibonereza olw’ebyonoono byayo, n’abantu baamu abagibeeramu n’ebasesema.
26 Ye therefore shall keep My statutes and Mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth 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 have the men of the land done, that 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 that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
Ensi eyo bwe muligifuula etali nnongoofu, egenda kubasesema nga bwe yasesema amawanga agaabasooka okugibeeramu.
29 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be 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 ye keep My charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: 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.’”
