Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
Bakabona, Abaleevi n’ekika kyonna ekya Leevi, tebaafunenga mugabo oba bya busika mu Isirayiri. Banaaweebwanga ku biweebwayo ebyokebwa ebinaaleetebwanga eri Mukama Katonda; ogwo gwe gunaabanga omugabo ogw’obusika bwabwe.
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brothers: the LORD is their inheritance, as he has said to them.
Tebaabeerenga na mugabo gwa busika nga bannaabwe abalala bonna mu Isirayiri, kubanga Mukama Katonda yabasuubiza nga y’anaabanga obusika bwabwe.
3 And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
Bino bakabona bye banaagabananga ku biweebwayo eby’ente za sseddume n’endiga abantu bye banaabanga baleese: bakabona banaafunangako omukono n’emba zombi, n’eby’omu lubuto.
4 The first fruit also of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, shall you give him.
Era onoobawanga ebibala byo ebibereberye eby’emmere ey’empeke, n’ebya wayini wo, n’amafuta go, n’ebyoya ebisooka eby’endiga zo.
5 For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo yeeroboza Leevi n’ezzadde lye mu bika byo byonna okuweerezanga mu linnya lya Mukama emirembe n’emirembe.
6 And if a Levite come from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind to the place which the LORD shall choose;
Omuleevi bw’anaavanga mu kimu ku bibuga byo ebiri mu Isirayiri gy’abadde atuula, n’ajja nga bw’anaabanga yeeteeserezza, n’ajja mu kifo Mukama Katonda ky’aneeronderanga,
7 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.
anaayinzanga okuweereza mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda we okufaanana nga Abaleevi banne abalala aba buli kiseera abanaabanga baweereza mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda mu kifo ekyo.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
Anaagabananga kyenkanyi ne banne abaabulijjo, ne bw’anaabanga ng’alina ensimbi ezize ku bubwe z’anaabanga aggye mu by’omu maka ge by’atunze.
9 When you are come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Bw’onooyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, weekuume obutayiga kukopperera mpisa embi ez’abantu ab’omu mawanga g’olisanga mu nsi omwo.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Tewabeerangawo omuntu n’omu alirabika ng’ayisa mutabani we, oba muwala we mu muliro, ng’ekiweebwayo, oba ng’akola ng’omulaguzi, oba omulogo, oba omusawo w’ekinnansi, oba avvuunula eby’omu biseera ebijja,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
oba asuula abantu eddalu, oba emmandwa, oba omusamize, oba omulubaale, oba ayogera n’emizimu, oba eyeebuuza ku baafa.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination to the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you.
Omuntu yenna anaakolanga ebintu ng’ebyo, anaabanga kivume era ekyomuzizo eri Mukama. Era olwokubanga ab’omu mawanga ago bakola ebyomuzizo ebyo, Mukama Katonda wo kyanaava abagoba mu nsi omwo ng’ogiyingira.
13 You shall be perfect with the LORD your God.
Kikugwanira obenga muwulize nnyo, atuukiridde mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
14 For these nations, which you shall possess, listened to observers of times, and to diviners: but as for you, the LORD your God has not suffered you so to do.
Newaakubadde ng’abantu ab’omu mawanga ago b’ogenda okulyako ensi yaabwe, bagondera nnyo abalaguzi n’abasamize, naye ebyo Mukama Katonda wo, ggwe, takukkiriza kubikola.
15 The LORD your God will raise up to you a Prophet from the middle of you, of your brothers, like to me; to him you shall listen;
Mukama Katonda wo agenda kukuyimusiza Nnabbi ali nga nze, ng’amuggya mu bantu bo. Nnabbi oyo mumuwulirizanga era mumugonderanga.
16 According to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
Kubanga ekyo kye wasaba Mukama Katonda wo ku lunaku olw’okukuŋŋaana ku lusozi Kolebu ng’ogamba nti, “Sisaanidde kuddayo nate kuwulira ddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wange wadde okuddayo okulaba omuliro guno omungi, nneme okufa.”
17 And the LORD said to me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Mukama Katonda kwe kunnyanukula nti, “Kye bagambye kirungi era kituufu.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brothers, like to you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Nzija kubayimusiza Nnabbi ali nga ggwe okuva wakati mu bo; Nze nnaasanga ebigambo byange mu kammwe ke, ye n’abategeezanga bye nnaamulagiranga.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Omuntu yenna ataagonderenga bigambo Nnabbi by’anaayogeranga mu linnya lyange, Nze kennyini, Nze nnaamwekolerangako.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Naye nnabbi anaayogeranga mu linnya lya bakatonda abalala, oba aneetulinkirizanga nti ayogera mu linnya lyange, songa si Nze mmulagidde okubyogera, nnabbi oyo wa kufa.”
21 And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
Oyinza okwebuuza nti, “Tunaamanyanga tutya ng’ebigambo ebyo Mukama Katonda si y’anaabanga abyogedde?”
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of him.
Ebigambo nnabbi by’anaayogeranga mu linnya lya Mukama bwe bitaatuukirirenga oba bwe bitaabenga bya mazima, ng’ebigambo ebyo Mukama Katonda si y’abyogedde. Nnabbi oyo by’anaabanga ayogedde anaabanga abiyiiyizza buyiiya. Ebyo tebibatiisanga.
