Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto YHWH thy Elohim any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto YHWH thy Elohim.
Toleetanga kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda wo eky’ente oba eky’endiga ng’eriko akamogo oba ekikyamu kyonna, kubanga ebiri ng’ebyo Katonda wo abikyayira ddala.
2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of YHWH thy Elohim, in transgressing his covenant,
Omuntu yenna omusajja oba omukazi abeera mu mmwe, mu kimu ku bibuga Mukama Katonda wo by’akuwa, bw’anaakwatibwanga ng’akoze ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo, ng’amenye endagaano ya Mukama,
3 And hath gone and served other elohim, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
era ng’ajeemedde ekiragiro kyange n’asinza bakatonda abalala, ng’enjuba, oba omwezi, oba emmunyeenye ez’oku ggulu, bye siragiranga okubisinzanga,
4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
ekikolwa ekyo ne kikutegeezebwangako; kale onookinoonyerezangako n’obwegendereza. Bwe kinaakakasibwanga nga kya mazima, ng’ekibi ekyo kikoleddwa mu Isirayiri,
5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
onoofulumyanga omusajja oyo, oba omukazi oyo, akoze ekibi ekyo, wabweru wa wankaaki w’ekibuga n’omukuba amayinja, n’afa.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Omuntu anattibwanga nga wamaze kulabikawo obujulizi bw’abantu babiri oba basatu, naye omuntu tattibwenga ku bujulizi bw’omuntu omu yekka.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
Abajulizi be banaasookanga okukasuukirira omuntu oyo amayinja, n’abalala ne bagoberera. Kinaakusaaniranga okwemalangako ebibi ebinaabeeranga wakati mu mmwe.
8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose;
Bwe wanaabangawo emisango egireeteddwa mu mbuga yo nga mizibu gikukaluubiridde okusala, oba nga gya kuyiwa musaayi, oba gya kuwozaŋŋanya, oba kukubagana, oba ensonga endala zonna ezinaabangamu enkaayana mu bibuga byo, ensonga ezo zonna onoozitwalanga mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo ky’anaabanga yeerondedde.
9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:
Bw’onootuukanga eyo oneebuuzanga ku bakabona, be Baleevi, ne ku mulamuzi anaabanga akola omulimu ogwo mu kiseera ekyo. Banaakutegeezanga ensala yaabwe.
10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which YHWH shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:
Onookoleranga ku nsala yaabwe eyo gye banaakuwanga mu kifo ekyo Mukama ky’anaabanga yeerondedde. Weegenderezanga nnyo n’okola ebyo bye banaabanga bakulagidde.
11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
Kinaakugwaniranga okukola ng’amateeka ge banaabanga bakunnyonnyodde bwe gagamba, n’ensala yaabwe nga bw’eneebanga gye banaakutegeezanga. Bye banaakutegeezanga tobivangako kulaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ku gwa kkono.
12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before YHWH thy Elohim, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
Omuntu yenna anaanyoomanga omulamuzi oba kabona eyateekebwawo okuweereza Mukama Katonda wo, omuntu oyo wa kufa. Bw’otyo bw’onoomalangamu ekibi mu Isirayiri.
13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Abantu bonna banaabiwuliranga ne batya, ne bataddayo nate kukola bya kyejo.
14 When thou art come unto the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
Bw’olimala okuyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, n’ogirya, n’obeera omwo, oliyinza okugamba nti, “Leka neeteekerewo kabaka ananfuganga okufaanana ng’amawanga amalala gonna aganneebunguludde;”
15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom YHWH thy Elohim shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
Weegenderezanga n’ossaawo kabaka oyo Mukama Katonda wo gw’anaakulonderanga. Kikugwanira okumuggyanga mu bantu bo bennyini. Tokkirizibwenga kwessizangawo kabaka omunnaggwanga anaabanga tavudde mu baganda bo bennyini, okukufuganga.
16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as YHWH hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Kabaka oyo tateekwa kwefuniranga mbalaasi nnyingi, wadde okutumanga abantu mu Misiri bamufunirengayo embalaasi endala okwongeranga ku z’alina obungi; kubanga Mukama yagamba nti, “Temuddangayo kukwata kkubo eryo,”
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Tawasanga bakazi bangi kubanga bagenda kumukyamyanga. So tekimugwanira kwetuumangako zaabu n’effeeza ennyingi ennyo.
18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
Bw’anaamalanga okutebenkera ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwe, anaakoppololeranga amateeka gano mu kitabo ng’agaggyanga ku ga bakabona, Abaleevi.
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear YHWH his Elohim, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
Ekitabo ekyo anaabeeranga nakyo bulijjo, era anaakisomanga ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe, alyokenga ayige okutyanga Mukama Katonda we, ng’agobereranga n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna ebiri mu mateeka gano, ne mu biragiro,
20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
nga teyeekulumbaza kusukkirira ku bannansi banne, era nga takyama kuva ku mateeka gano okulaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ku gwa kkono. Bw’anaakolanga bw’atyo, ye, n’ezzadde lye banaafuganga mu bwakabaka bwe, mu Isirayiri, okumala ennaku nnyingi.
