Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, None [of them] shall defile himself on the dead, among his people;
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Yogera ne bakabona, batabani ba Alooni, obagambe nti tewabanga omuntu eyeeretako obutali bulongoofu olw’okukwata ku mufu mu bantu be,
2 But on his kin, that is near unto him, [that is, ] on his mother, and on his father, and on his son, and on his daughter, and on his brother,
wabula ng’amulinako oluganda olw’okumpi. Gamba nga nnyina, oba kitaawe, oba mutabani we, oba muwala we, oba muganda we,
3 And on his sister that is a virgin, that is nigh unto him, who hath had no husband: on her may he defile himself.
oba mwannyina embeerera atamanyi musajja, gw’alinako obuvunaanyizibwa kubanga tabeerangako na bba, kubanga ayinza okwereetako obutali bulongoofu.
4 The chief man among his people shall not defile himself, to be profaned thereby.
Kabona nga bw’ali omukulembeze, tekimusaanira kwereetako obutali bulongoofu wakati mu bantu be.
5 They shall not make any baldness upon their head, and the corner of their beard shall they not shave off, and in their flesh shall they not make any incision.
Bakabona tebamwangako nviiri ku mitwe gyabwe, wadde okumwako ebirevu byabwe, oba okusala emisale ku mibiri gyabwe.
6 Holy shall they be unto their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for the fire-offerings of the Lord, the bread of their God, do they offer, they shall therefore be holy.
Kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu eri Katonda waabwe balemenga okuleetera erinnya lya Katonda waabwe obutali bulongoofu. Kubanga be batuusa ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa mu muliro eri Mukama, ye mmere ya Katonda waabwe, noolwekyo kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu.
7 A woman that is a harlot, or one profaned, shall they not take; and a woman put away from her husband shall they not take; for holy is he unto his God.
Tebawasanga mukazi malaaya oba atali mulongoofu, oba oyo agobeddwa ewa bba; kubanga bakabona batukuvu eri Katonda waabwe.
8 And thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God doth he offer: holy shall he be unto thee; for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.
Mubayisenga ng’abatukuvu, kubanga be bawaayo emmere eya Katonda wammwe. Mubayisenga ng’abatukuvu; kubanga Nze Mukama atukuza mmwe, ndi mutukuvu.
9 And if the daughter of any priest profane herself by committing incest, her father doth she profane: with fire shall she be burnt.
Era omwana omuwala owa kabona bw’anaakubanga obwamalaaya, bw’atyo ne yeereetako obutali bulongoofu, anaabeeranga aleetedde kitaawe obutali bulongoofu; anaayokebwanga mu muliro.
10 And the priest that is highest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil hath been poured, and who hath been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head grow long, and his garments shall he not rend;
“Kabona Asinga Obukulu, nga ye mukulembeze mu baganda be, era nga ye yafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ku mutwe gwe, era nga yayawulibwa ayambalenga ebyambalo by’Obwakabona, tasaanira kusumululanga nviiri ze ku mutwe gwe n’azita, wadde okuyuzanga ebyambalo bye.
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body; even on his father, and on his mother shall he not defile himself.
Tayingiranga mu kifo omuli omulambo, aleme kwereetako obutali bulongoofu. Omulambo ne bwe gunaabanga ogwa kitaawe oba ogwa nnyina.
12 And out of the sanctuary shall he not go, that he may not profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
Era n’ekifo kya Katonda we ekitukuvu taakivengamu oba okukireetako obutali bulongoofu, kubanga yayawulibwa bwe yafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ga Katonda we. Nze Mukama Katonda.
13 And he shall take a wife in her virgin state.
Anaawasanga omukazi mbeerera atamanyanga musajja.
14 A widow, and a divorced woman, and one profaned, [and] a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take for wife;
Tawasanga nnamwandu, oba omukazi bba gwe yagoba, oba omukazi eyeereeseeko obutali bulongoofu olw’okukuba obwamalaaya; naye anaawasanga omukazi embeerera ng’amuggya mu bantu be;
15 So that he may not profane his seed among his people; for I, the Lord, do sanctify him.
aleme okuleetera ezzadde lye obutali bulongoofu wakati mu bantu be. Kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda amutukuza.”
16 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever of thy seed in their generations it be on whom there is any blemish, shall not approach to offer the bread of his God.
“Tegeeza Alooni nti mu zadde lye, okuyita mu mirembe gyonna, bwe munaabangamu omuntu aliko akamogo ku mubiri gwe taasemberenga kuwaayo emmere ya Katonda we.
18 For whatsoever man it be on whom there is a blemish, shall not approach: a blind, or a lame man, or one that hath a flattened nose, or a man one of whose limbs is too long,
Kubanga tewaabengawo muntu yenna aliko akamogo ku mubiri gwe anaasemberanga. Gamba: omuzibe w’amaaso, oba omulema, oba eyakyama ennyindo, oba eyakulako ekintu ekyasukkirira obuwanvu;
19 Or a man who hath a broken foot, or a broken hand,
oba omuntu alina ekigere ekyagongobala, oba omukono ogwalemala,
20 Or a crookbacked, or a dwarf, or one that hath a blemish in his eye, or the itch, or the scurvy, or the testicles broken.
oba ow’ebbango, oba nakalanga, oba atalaba bulungi, oba ng’omubiri gwe gumusiiwa yeetakulatakula, oba ng’alina amabwa agakulukuta, oba nga yayabika enjagi.
21 Every man on whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall not come nigh to offer the fire-offerings of the Lord: there is a blemish on him; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
Tewaabengawo wa mu zadde lya Alooni kabona ng’aliko akamogo anakkirizibwanga okusembera okuleeta ebiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda, ebyokebwa mu muliro. Kubanga aliko akamogo; tekiimusaanirenga kusembera n’okuwaayo ekiweebwayo eri Katonda we.
22 The brewed of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy things he may eat.
Anaayinzanga okulya ku mmere entukuvu ennyo eya Katonda we;
23 Only unto the vail, and unto the altar shall he not come nigh, because there is a blemish on him; that he profane not my holy things; for I the Lord do sanctify them.
naye olwokubanga aliko akamogo ku mubiri gwe, taasaanirenga kusemberera ggigi, oba okulaga okumpi n’ekyoto, n’aleetera ebifo byange ebitukuvu obutali bulongoofu. Kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda abitukuza.”
24 And Moses spoke thus unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Bw’atyo Musa n’ategeeza Alooni ne batabani be, awamu n’abaana bonna aba Isirayiri ebigambo ebyo byonna.
