Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the words of the covenant, which Yhwh commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
Bino bye bigambo by’endagaano Mukama Katonda gye yalagira Musa okukola n’abaana ba Isirayiri nga bali mu nsi ya Mowaabu, ng’egattibwa ku ndagaano gye yali akoze nabo ku Kolebu.
2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Yhwh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
Awo Musa n’ayita Abayisirayiri bonna n’abagamba nti, Mwalaba n’amaaso gammwe ebyo byonna Mukama Katonda bye yakolera mu nsi y’e Misiri ku Falaawo ne ku bakungu be, ne ku nsi ye yonna.
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
Walaba n’amaaso go ebigezo ebinene, n’obubonero obw’ebyamagero, n’ebyewuunyisa ebikulu.
4 Yet Yhwh hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
Naye n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero Mukama tabawanga mutima ogutegeera, oba amaaso agalaba, oba amatu agawulira.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
Bwe nabakulembera okumala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu engoye zammwe tezaakaddiwako, n’engatto y’omu kigere kyo teyakaddiwa.
6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am Yhwh your God.
Temwalya ku mugaati wadde okunywa ku nvinnyo, oba ku kyokunywa ekirala kyonna ekitamiiza. Ekyo nakikola mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:
Bwe mwatuuka mu kifo kino, Sikoni kabaka w’e Kesuboni, ne Ogi kabaka w’e Basani, ne basituka okutulwanyisa, naye ne tubawangula.
8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
Twatwala ensi yaabwe, ne tugigabira Abalewubeeni, n’Abagaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika eky’Abamanase, okuba obutaka bwabwe obw’ensikirano.
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
Noolwekyo mukwatenga ebigambo by’endagaano eno n’obwegendereza, mulyoke muwangulenga mu buli kimu kye munaakolanga.
10 Ye stand this day all of you before Yhwh your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
Mukuŋŋaanye wano leero mwenna mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wammwe, nga muli n’abakulembeze b’ebika byammwe, n’abakulu bammwe abakulembeze, n’abafuzi bammwe, n’abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
n’abaana bammwe abato, ne bakazi bammwe, ne munnaggwanga asula awamu naawe mu lusiisira lwo, okukutyabira enku, n’okukukimira amazzi.
12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with Yhwh thy God, and into his oath, which Yhwh thy God maketh with thee this day:
Oli wano okukola endagaano ne Mukama Katonda wo, ng’ekirayiro gy’ali, Mukama Katonda wo gy’akola naawe leero;
13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
alyoke akukakase ng’akunyweza leero okubeeranga eggwanga lye, naye nga ye Katonda wo, nga bwe yakusuubiza, era nga bwe yalayirira bakadde bo: Ibulayimu ne Isaaka.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
Endagaano eno gye nkola, ng’eriko n’ekirayiro kyayo,
15 But with him that standeth here with us this day before Yhwh our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
sigikola nammwe abayimiridde wano naffe leero mwekka, wabula ngikola wamu n’oyo atali wano naffe leero.
16 ( For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
Mujjukira bulungi nga bwe twali mu nsi y’e Misiri, ne bwe twajjanga tuyita wakati mu mawanga okutuukira ddala wano.
17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them: )
Mwalabanga ebintu eby’ekikaafiiri, nga mwe mwalinga ebifaananyi ebibajje mu miti n’ebiwoole mu mayinja ne mu ffeeza ne mu zaabu.
18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Yhwh our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
Mukakasize ddala leero nga mu maka gammwe oba mu bika byammwe temulinaamu musajja oba mukazi n’omu akyamizza omutima gwe okuva ku Mukama Katonda waffe agende asinze bakatonda bali abalala abamawanga ago. Mukakasize ddala nga mu mmwe temuliimu kikolo okuyinza okukula obutwa obw’engeri eyo obukaawa ng’omususa.
19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
Omuntu ow’engeri ng’eyo ng’awulidde ebigambo eby’ekikolimo kino n’amala yeeyibaala, ne yeetukuza ku bubwe yekka, n’alowooza munda ye nti, “Nzija kubeera bulungi newaakubadde nga mmaliridde okukwata ekkubo eryange ery’obujeemu,” ekyo kinaaletanga akacwano ku ttaka erinnyogovu obulungi ne ku kkalu.
20 Yhwh will not spare him, but then the anger of Yhwh and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and Yhwh shall blot out his name from under heaven.
Mukama taamusonyiwenga, kubanga obusungu bwa Mukama n’ekiruyi kye binaabuubuukiranga ku muntu oyo. Ebikolimo byonna ebiwandiikiddwa mu Kitabo kino binaamukkangako, era Mukama alisangula erinnya lye n’aliggya wansi w’eggulu.
21 And Yhwh shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
Mukama anaamwawulanga n’amuggya mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri n’amubonereza nnyo, nga bwe kiri mu bikolimo byonna eby’endagaano ebiwandiikiddwa mu Kitabo ky’Amateeka kino.
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which Yhwh hath laid upon it;
Abaana bammwe abaliddawo ne bannamawanga abaliva mu nsi ezeewala baliraba ekibonerezo ekiriba kigudde ku nsi n’obulwadde Mukama bw’aliba aleese ku ttaka ly’ensi.
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which Yhwh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
Ettaka liriba lyonoonese nga lya munnyo n’amayinja agookya, nga tekuyinza kusimbibwako kintu wadde okubaako n’ekimerako, nga n’omuddo tegusobola kumerako. Ensi erifaanana ng’okuzikirizibwa kwa Sodomu, ne Ggomola, ne Aduma, ne Zeboyimu, Mukama bye yazikiriza mu busungu bwe obungi.
24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath Yhwh done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
Amawanga galyebuuza nga geewunya nti, “Lwaki Mukama akoze ekintu kino, n’akikola n’obusungu obungi butyo?”
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Yhwh God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
Na kino kye kiriba eky’okuddamu nti, “Kubanga abantu bano basudde eri endagaano ya Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe, endagaano gye yakola nabo bwe yabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri.
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
Baagenda ne basinza bakatonda abalala, ne babaweereza, bakatonda be baali batamanyi, era Katonda waabwe be yali tabawadde.
27 And the anger of Yhwh was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
Bwe butyo obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuukira ku nsi eyo, n’agireetako ebikolimo byonna ebiwandiikiddwa mu Kitabo kino.
28 And Yhwh rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
Mukama n’abasiguukulula mu nsi yaabwe ng’aliko ekiruyi, era ng’ajjudde obusungu bungi, n’abakasuka mu nsi endala, nga bwe kiri leero.”
29 The secret things belong unto Yhwh our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Ebintu eby’ekyama bya Mukama Katonda waffe, naye ebyo ebyabikkulibwa bye byaffe n’abaana baffe emirembe gyonna, tulyoke tugonderenga ebigambo byonna ebiri mu mateeka gano.
