Deuteronomy 26
1 And it shall come to pass, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and thou hast taken possession of it, and dwellest therein:
Awo olulituuka bw’omalanga okuyingira mu nsi, Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obusika bwo obw’enkalakkalira, ng’omaze okugyefunira era ng’otebenkedde bulungi,
2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the soil, which thou shalt bring in from thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket; and thou shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell there.
oddiranga ebimu ku bibala ebibereberye by’oliggya mu makungula agalisooka okuva mu ttaka ery’oku nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, n’obiteeka mu kibbo. Kale nno obireetanga mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo kye yeerondera okubeerangamu Erinnya lye.
3 And thou shalt come unto the priest that may be in those days, and thou shalt say unto him, I give thanks this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come into the land which the Lord swore unto our fathers to give to us.
Ogambanga kabona alibeera mu kisanja mu kiseera ekyo nti, “Njatula leero eri Mukama Katonda wo nti ntuuse mu nsi Mukama gye yalayirira bajjajjaffe okugituwa.”
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God.
Kabona aliggya ekibbo mu mikono gyo n’akitereeza mu maaso g’ekyoto kya Mukama Katonda wo.
5 And thou shalt commence and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian, wandering about, was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a family few in number, and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.
Kale nno oliyatula mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo nti, “Jjajjaffe yali mutambuze Omusuuli, n’aserengeta mu Misiri n’abantu be yali nabo abatono, ne babeera eyo, ne bafuukamu eggwanga ekkulu ery’amaanyi era nga lirimu abantu bangi nnyo.
6 And the Egyptians treated us ill, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard labor;
Naye Abamisiri ne batuyisa bubi, ne batubonyaabonya, nga batukozesa emirimu emikakanyavu.
7 And then we cried unto the Eternal, the God of our fathers; and the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our trouble, and our oppression;
Bwe tutyo ne tukaabirira Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaffe; Katonda n’awulira eddoboozi lyaffe, n’alaba okubonaabona kwaffe, n’okutegana kwaffe, n’okunyigirizibwa kwaffe kwonna.
8 And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs, and with wonders;
Bw’atyo Mukama n’atuggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi gwe yagolola, n’obuyinza bwe obw’entiisa, n’obubonero, n’ebyamagero eby’ekitalo.
9 And he brought us unto this place, and gave unto us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Yatuleeta mu kifo kino n’atuwa ensi eno, ensi omukulukutira amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
10 And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the soil, which thou hast given me, O Lord; and thou shalt set it down before the Lord thy God, and prostrate thyself before the Lord thy God;
Bwe ntyo ndeese gy’oli ebibala ebibereberye ebiva mu ttaka ery’omu nsi gy’ompadde, Ayi Mukama.” Olibiteeka mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo n’ovuunama mu maaso ge.
11 And thou shalt rejoice with every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thy house, thou, with the Levite, and the stranger that is in the midst of thee.
Kale nno, ggwe awamu n’Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga abanaabeeranga mu mmwe, onoojaguzanga ng’osanyukira ebirungi byonna, Mukama Katonda wo by’anaabanga akuwadde ggwe n’amaka go gonna.
12 When thou hast made an end of giving away all the tithe of thy produce in the third year, the year of the tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten it within thy gates, and are satisfied:
Mu mwaka ogwokusatu bw’onoomalanga okuggyako ku makungula go ekitundu eky’ekkumi n’okissa wabbali, kubanga ogwo gwe mwaka ogw’ekitundu eky’ekkumi, onoddiranga ekitundu ekyo n’okiwa Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa, ne bannamwandu, ne baliiranga mu bibuga byo ne bakkuta.
13 Then shalt thou say before the Lord thy God, I have removed away the hallowed things out of the house, and I have also given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me; I have not deviated from thy commandments, and I have not forgotten;
Awo onooyogeranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo nti, “Ekitundu ekimu eky’ekkumi ekyatukuzibwa nkiggyayo mu maka gange ne nkigabira Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa, ne bannamwandu, nga byonna bye wandagira bwe biri. Sikyamyeko kuva ku biragiro byo newaakubadde okwerabira n’ekimu ku byo.
14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I removed away aught thereof in an unclean state, nor have I given aught thereof for the dead: I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, I have done all, just as thou hast commanded me.
Ekitundu ekyo sikiriddeeko nga ndi mu biseera eby’okukungubaga, wadde okukikwatako nga siri mulongoofu, era sikitoddeeko ne mpaayo eri abafu. Ŋŋondedde Mukama Katonda wange, ne nkola nga bwe yandagira.
15 Look down from the habitation of thy holiness, from the heavens, and bless thy people Israel, and the soil which thou hast given unto us, as thou hast sworn unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Otutunuulire ng’osinziira mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu gy’obeera mu ggulu, otuyiweko omukisa gwo ffe abantu bo Abayisirayiri n’ensi gy’otuwadde nga bwe walayirira bajjajjaffe, nga y’ensi omukulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.”
16 This day the Lord thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and ordinances; and thou shalt keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
Mukama Katonda wo akulagira leero okugonderanga amateeka ago gonna n’ebiragiro ebyo; noolwekyo obigonderanga byonna n’omutima gwo gwonna n’emmeeme yo yonna.
17 Thou hast this day acknowledged the Lord, that he is thy God, and that thou wilt walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken unto his voice;
Ku lunaku lwa leero oyatudde nga Mukama bw’ali Katonda wo, era nga naawe bw’onootambuliranga mu makubo ge, era ng’onookuumanga ebiragiro bye n’amateeka ge gonna, era ng’onoomugonderanga.
18 And the Lord hath acknowledged thee this day, that thou art unto him a peculiar people, as he hath spoken unto thee, and that thou shouldst keep all his commandments;
Ku lunaku lwa leero Mukama alangiridde nga bw’oli owuwe, eggwanga lye ku bubwe ery’omuwendo omungi nga bwe yasuubiza, era nga ojjanga kukwatanga ebiragiro bye byonna.
19 So that he may set thee highest above all nations that he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.
Alangiridde nga bw’anaakujjuzanga ettendo n’okwatiikirira n’ekitiibwa okusukkirira amawanga gonna ge yatonda, era ng’olibeera eggwanga ettukuvu eri Mukama Katonda wo, nga bwe yasuubiza.
