Deuteronomy 13
1 If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he giveth thee a sign or a token,
Mu mmwe bwe mulabikangamu nnabbi oba omuntu n’akutegeeza eby’omu maaso nga yeeyambisa ebirooto, n’alangirira ebyamagero oba ebyewuunyisa ebijja okubeerawo,
2 And the sign or the token come to pass, whereof he spoke unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou dost not know, and let us serve them:
era ebyamagero ebyo, oba ebyewuunyisa ebyo by’anaabanga alangiridde ne bituukirira, n’alyoka akugamba nti, “Ka tugoberere bakatonda abalala era tubaweerezenga” (bakatonda ggwe b’otomanyangako),
3 Then shalt thou not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye indeed love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
towulirizanga bigambo bya nnabbi oyo, oba omuloosi w’ebirooto oyo. Kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe anaabanga abagezesa bugezesa ategeere obanga munaabanga mumwagala n’omutima gwammwe gwonna n’emmeeme yammwe yonna.
4 After the Lord your God shall ye walk, and him shall ye fear, and his commandments shall ye keep, and his voice shall ye obey, and him shall ye serve, and unto him shall ye cleave.
Mukama Katonda wammwe gwe munaagobereranga, era ye yekka gwe munaatyanga, era amateeka ge, ge munaakwatanga, era n’eddoboozi lye, lye munaawulirizanga era lye munaagonderanga, era ku ye kwe munaanywereranga.
5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken revolt against the Lord your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, and who hath redeemed you out of the house of bond-men, to mislead thee front the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk therein; and thou shalt put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Kale nno nnabbi oyo, oba omuloosi w’ebirooto oyo anattibwanga, kubanga anaabanga abasasamaza mujeemere Mukama Katonda wammwe, eyabaggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri, n’abanunula mu nnyumba ey’obuddu, nnabbi oyo ng’akusasamaza, ove mu kkubo ettuufu Mukama Katonda wo lye yakulagira okutambulirangamu. Bw’otyo ekibi ekiri mu mmwe, bw’onookimalangamu.
6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is [dear to thee] as thy own soul, should entice thee, in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou dost not know, either thou, or thy fathers;
Omuntu yenna, ne bw’abanga muganda wo oba mutabani wo, oba muwala wo, oba mukazi wo omuganzi ennyo, oba mukwano gwo gw’oyagala ennyo ow’okulusegere, n’akusendasendanga mu kyama ng’agamba nti, “Jjangu tugende tusinze bakatonda abalala,” bakatonda ggwe b’otomanyangako, ne bakadde bo be batamanyangako,
7 Some of the gods of the nations which are round about you, that are nigh unto thee, or that are far off from thee, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth:
bakatonda ab’abantu ababeetoolodde, ab’oku muliraano, oba abeewala, okuva ensi gy’etandikira ne gy’ekoma,
8 Then shalt thou not consent unto him, nor shalt thou hearken unto him; nor shall thy eye look with pity on him, nor shalt thou spare, nor shalt thou conceal it for him;
tomuwulirizanga, so by’anaakugambanga tobikolanga. Tomusaasiranga era tomuzibiikirizanga wadde okumusonyiwanga.
9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be the first upon him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people afterward.
Omuttiranga ddala. Gw’omusokangako ng’attibwa n’abantu bonna ne bassa okwo.
10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he sought to mislead thee from the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bond-men.
Onoomukubanga amayinja n’omutta, kubanga anaabanga agezezzaako okukukyusa akuggye ku Mukama Katonda wo eyakuggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri mu nnyumba ey’obuddu.
11 And all Israel shall hear it, and they shall be afraid, and they shall not do any more such a wicked deed as this is in the midst of thee.
Kale Isirayiri yonna banaakiwuliranga banaatyanga, era tewaabeerengawo mu mmwe n’omu anaddangayo okukola ekibi ng’ekyo.
12 If thou shouldst hear concerning one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
Bw’owuliranga mu kimu ku bibuga Mukama Katonda wo by’akuwa okubeerangamu,
13 There have gone forth men, children of worthlessness, from the midst of thee, and have misled the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known:
nga mulimu abantu abali mu mmwe abasituse ne basikiriza abantu b’omu kibuga kyabwe ekyo nga babagamba nti, “Ka tugende tusinze bakatonda abalala,” bakatonda be mutamanyangako,
14 Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be true, the thing is certain, such abomination hath been wrought in the midst of thee:
kale nno kikusaanira obuulirizenga nnyo ku kintu ekyo, okyekebejjenga, okyekkaanyizenga ddala. Bwe kinaakakasibwanga nga kya mazima, nga wakati mu mmwe waliwo abakoze ekintu ekibi bwe kityo,
15 Then shalt thou smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, to the edge of the sword.
kale, abantu bonna abanaabeeranga mu kibuga onoobattanga n’ekitala, awamu n’ebisolo byabwe bye balunda byonna.
16 And all its spoil shalt thou gather into the midst of the market-place thereof, and thou shalt burn with fire the city, and all its spoil entirely, unto the Lord thy God; and it shall be a ruinous heap for ever: it shall not be built again.
Omunyago gwonna onoogukuŋŋaanyizanga wakati mu kibangirizi eky’omu kibuga, era onooyokyanga ekibuga kyonna n’omunyago gwako n’omuliro, ng’ekiweebwayo ekiri awamu ekyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wo. Ekibuga ekyo kinaasigalanga awo nga kifunvu eky’olubeerera, tekiddibwengamu kuzimbibwa.
17 And there shall not cleave to thy hand aught of the devoted things; in order that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and grant thee mercy, and have mercy upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
Tewaabeerengawo kintu na kimu ku ebyo ebinaabanga bimaze okukolimirwa ky’onoosangibwanga nakyo, bwe butyo obusungu bwa Mukama obunaabanga obungi ennyo bunakkakkananga; anaakukwatirwanga ekisa, n’akulaganga okwagala kwe, n’akwongeranga okwala, nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabo,
18 When thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord thy God.
kubanga onoogonderanga eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wo n’okwatanga amateeka ge gonna ge nkuwa leero, n’okolanga ebisaanidde mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
