< Deuteronomy 11 >
1 THEREFORE thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
Yagalanga Mukama Katonda wo, ogonderenga ebigambo bye by’akukuutira, n’ebiragiro bye, n’amateeka ge ennaku zonna.
2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
Mutegeere nga ku lunaku lwa leero soogera na baana bammwe abataamanya era abataalaba ku kukangavvula kwa Mukama Katonda wammwe, n’ekitiibwa kye n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi, era ogw’obukuumi;
3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
era abataalaba ku byamagero bye yakola n’ebintu byonna bye yakolera wakati mu Misiri, ku Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri n’eri ensi ye yonna;
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the Lord hath destroyed them unto this day;
ne bye yakola eggye lya Misiri n’embalaasi zaalyo n’amagaali gaalyo; era nga amaggye ago bwe yagazikiririza mu mazzi ag’omu Nnyanja Emyufu bwe gaali nga gabagoberera, n’agamalirawo ddala n’okutuusa leero.
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
Abaana bammwe si be baalaba ebyo byonna Mukama bye yabakolera okuva nga muli mu ddungu n’okutuuka wano mu kifo kino,
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
era ne kye yakola Dasani ne Abiraamu batabani ba Eriyaabu, mutabani wa Lewubeeni, ettaka bwe lyayasamya akamwa kaalyo, wakati mu baana ba Isirayiri bonna, ne libamira n’ab’omu maka gaabwe bonna, n’eweema ez’ensiisira zaabwe zonna, ne buli kiramu kyabwe kyonna kye baalinako obwannannyini.
7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did.
Naye mmwe bennyini mwe mwabiraba n’amaaso gammwe, ebintu ebyo ebikulu Mukama by’azze akola.
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
Noolwekyo mukwatenga amateeka gonna ge mbalagira leero, mulyoke mubeere n’amaanyi okuyingira mu nsi gye mujja okwefunira, nga mumaze okusomoka omugga Yoludaani,
9 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
bwe mutyo mulyoke muwangaalenga nga muli mu nsi Mukama gye yalayirira bajjajjammwe okugibawa awamu ne bazzukulu baabwe, ng’eyo ye nsi omukulukutira amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
Kubanga ensi gy’ogenda okuyingira, ogyefunire, tefaanaana ng’ensi y’e Misiri, gye mwava, gye wasimbanga ensigo zo n’ozifukiriranga n’ebbomba gye wasambyanga ekigere, ng’afukirira ennimiro y’enva.
11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
Naye ensi gye mugenda okwefunira nga musomose omugga Yoludaani, ye nsi ey’ensozi n’ebiwonvu, enywa amazzi g’enkuba agava mu ggulu.
12 A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
Ye nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’alabirira. Amaaso ga Mukama Katonda wo gabeera ku nsi eyo bulijjo, okuva ku ntandikwa y’omwaka okutuuka ku nkomerero yaagwo.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Bwe munaagonderanga amateeka gano ge mbalagira leero: okwagalanga Mukama Katonda wammwe, n’okumuweerezanga n’omutima gwammwe gwonna, n’emmeeme yammwe yonna,
14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
kale, anaatonnyesanga enkuba mu nsi yammwe mu biseera byayo: enkuba eya ddumbi n’eya ttoggo, olyoke okungulenga emmere yo ey’empeke, weefunire ne wayini omusu n’amafuta.
15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
Era anaakuzanga omuddo mu malundiro go ente zo gwe zinaalyanga; naawe onoolyanga emmere n’okkuta.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
Mwegenderezenga nnyo, mulemenga okukyama ne mubula, ne muweerezanga bakatonda abalala era ne mubavuunamiranga.
17 And then the Lord’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you.
Kale obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubabuubuukirangako, n’aggalangawo eggulu, enkuba ne tetonnyanga, n’ettaka ne litabalangako bibala, ne muzikiriranga ne muggwaawo mangu ku nsi ennungi Mukama gy’abawa.
18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
Kale muterekenga ebigambo byange bino mu mutima gwammwe ne mu mmeeme yammwe; munaabisibanga ku mikono gyammwe ng’akabonero ak’okubibajjukizanga, era mubitekanga ne ku byenyi byammwe.
19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Mubiyigirizenga abaana bammwe, ng’obinyumyako bw’onoobanga otudde mu nnyumba yo, ne bw’onoobanga otambula mu nguudo; ne bw’onoogalamirangako, era ne bw’onoositukanga.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
Era onoobiwandiikanga ku myango ne ku nzigi,
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
mmwe n’abaana bammwe mulyoke muwangaalenga nnyo, mumale ennaku nnyingi nga ebbanga eggulu lye lirimala nga liri waggulu w’ensi, nga muli mu nsi Mukama gye yasuubiza bajjajjammwe okugibawa.
22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
Bwe muneegenderezanga, ne mugonderanga ebiragiro bino byonna bye mbawa okubikolanga: kwe kwagalanga Mukama Katonda wammwe, n’okutambuliranga mu makubo ge gonna, n’okumunywererangako;
23 Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
kale, Mukama anaagobangamu amawanga ago gonna aganaabanga mu maaso gammwe, ne mwefunira ensi z’amawanga ago agabasinga mmwe obunene era n’amaanyi.
24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
Buli we munaalinnyanga ekigere kyammwe, ekifo ekyo kinaabeeranga kyammwe; okuva ku ddungu okutuuka ku Lebanooni, n’okuva ku Mugga Fulaati okutuuka ku nnyanja ey’ebugwanjuba.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
Tewaabengawo muntu n’omu anaasobolanga okubaziyiza. Mukama Katonda wammwe aliteeka entiisa n’ekikangabwa mu bannansi bonna, buli we munaagendanga, nga bwe yabasuubiza.
26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
Mulabe, ku lunaku lwa leero nteeka mu maaso gammwe omukisa n’ekikolimo.
27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:
Omukisa, bwe munaagonderanga amateeka ga Mukama Katonda wammwe ge mbalagira leero;
28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
ekikolimo, bwe mutaagonderenga mateeka ga Mukama Katonda wammwe, ne mukyamanga okuva mu kkubo lye mbalagira leero, ne mugobereranga bakatonda abalala be mwali mutamanyi.
29 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
Mukama Katonda wo bw’alikutuusa mu nsi gy’ogenda okuyingiramu ogyetwalire ng’obutaka bwo obw’enkalakkalira, omukisa oguteekanga ku lusozi Gerizimu, n’ekikolimo ku lusozi Ebali.
30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
Ensozi ezo ziri mitala wa Yoludaani ku ludda olw’ebugwanjuba obw’oluguudo ng’oyolekedde enjuba gy’egwa, okumpi n’emiti eminene egy’e Mole, mu nsi y’Abakanani ababeera mu Alaba ku miriraano gya Girugaali.
31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.
Muli kumpi okusomoka omugga Yoludaani mwefunire ensi Mukama Katonda wammwe gy’abawa. Bwe mulimala okugyetwalira, nga mwe mubeera,
32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
mwegenderezenga nnyo mugonderenga amateeka gonna, n’ebiragiro bye nteeka mu maaso gammwe leero.
