Deuteronomy 25
1 “When there is a strife between men, and they have come near to the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrongdoer,
Abantu babiri bwe banaabanga n’enkaayana, ensonga zaabwe ne bazitwala mu mbuga z’amateeka, abalamuzi ne babasalirawo, banaalangiriranga asinze n’oyo gwe gusinze.
2 then it has come to pass, if the wrongdoer is to be struck, that the judge has caused him to fall down, and [one] has struck him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrongdoing, by number;
Singa oyo gwe gunaasiŋŋanga anaabanga asaanira okukubwangamu obuga, omulamuzi anaamugalamizanga wansi n’akubirwa mu maaso ge omuwendo gw’obuga obuggya mu musango gw’anaabanga azzizza,
3 he strikes him forty [times]; he is not adding, lest he is adding to strike him above these many stripes, and your brother be lightly esteemed in your eyes.
naye nga tebusukka buga amakumi ana. Bwe bunaasukkanga omuwendo ogwo munnammwe anaabanga aswazibbwa nnyo mu maaso gammwe.
4 You do not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
Ente temugisibanga mimwa bwe munaabanga mugikozesa okuwuula emmere ey’empeke.
5 When brothers dwell together, and one of them has died and has no son, the wife of the dead is not given to a strange man; her husband’s brother goes in to her, and has taken her to him for a wife, and performs the duty of her husband’s brother;
Abooluganda bwe banaabanga babeera wamu, omu n’afa nga talina mwana wabulenzi, nnamwandu we tafumbirwanga musajja atali wa mu luggya lwa bba. Muganda wa bba anaatwalanga nnamwandu oyo n’amuwasa, n’atuukiriza obuvunaanyizibwa bwa muganda we omugenzi eri nnamwandu oyo.
6 and it has been, the firstborn which she bears rises for the name of his dead brother, and his name is not wiped away out of Israel.
Omwana owoobulenzi gw’anaasookanga okuzaala y’anaasikiranga erinnya lya muganda we omugenzi, bwe lityo erinnya ly’omugenzi ne litasangulwawo mu Isirayiri.
7 And if the man does not delight to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife has gone up to the gate, to the elderly, and said, My husband’s brother is refusing to raise up a name for his brother in Israel; he has not been willing to perform the duty of my husband’s brother;
Naye omusajja bw’anaabanga tayagala kuwasa nnamwandu wa muganda we, nnamwandu oyo anaagendanga eri abakulembeze abakulu ab’omu kibuga kye, ku wankaaki, n’abagamba nti, “Muganda wa baze agaanye okuwangaaza erinnya lya muganda we mu Isirayiri. Kubanga agaanye okutuukiriza gye ndi obuvunaanyizibwa bw’alina ku muganda we.”
8 and [the] elderly of his city have called for him, and spoken to him, and he has stood and said, I have no desire to take her.
Abakulembeze abakulu b’omu kibuga banaayitanga omusajja oyo ne boogera naye. Bw’anaakakanyalanga n’agamba nti, “Saagala kumuwasa,”
9 Then his brother’s wife has drawn near to him before the eyes of the elderly, and drawn his shoe from off his foot, and spat in his face, and answered and said, Thus it is done to the man who does not build up the house of his brother;
kale, nnamwandu wa muganda we anaatambulanga n’alaga awali omusajja oyo mu maaso g’abakulembeze abakulu b’omu kibuga, anaamwambulangamu engatto mu kigere kye ekimu, era anaamuwandiranga amalusu mu maaso n’ayogera nti, “Bwe kityo bwe kinaakolebwanga ku musajja atazimba lunyiriri lwa luggya lwa muganda we.”
10 and his name has been called in Israel, The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.
Oluggya lw’omusajja oyo lunaamanyibwanga mu Isirayiri ng’Oluggya lw’Omwambule Engatto.
11 When men strive together with one another, and the wife of one has drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his striker, and has put forth her hand, and laid hold on his private parts,
Bwe wanaabangawo abasajja babiri abalwana, mukazi w’omu bw’anajjanga okutaasa bba ku mulabe we n’amukwata ebitundu bye eby’ekyama,
12 then you have cut off her hand; your eye does not spare.
omutemangako omukono gwe. Tomusaasiranga.
13 You do not have [both] a great stone and a small stone in your bag.
Tossanga mu nsawo zo mayinja gapima ga ngeri bbiri ez’enjawulo, ng’erimu lizitowa, kyokka nga linnaalyo liwewuka.
14 You do not have a great ephah and a small ephah in your house.
Tobeeranga na bipima bya ngeri bbiri eby’enjawulo, ng’ekimu kinene, kyokka nga kinnaakyo kitono.
15 You have a complete and just stone, [and] you have a complete and just ephah, so that they prolong your days on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you;
Kikugwanira obeerenga n’amayinja agapima obuzito obutuufu, era n’ebipima ebirala eby’amazima era ebituufu, olyoke owangaalenga ng’oli mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa.
16 for anyone doing these things, anyone doing iniquity, [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo akyayira ddala abo bonna abakola ebyo ebitali bya bwesigwa.
17 Remember that which Amalek has done to you in the way in your going out from Egypt,
Teweerabiranga Abamaleki bye baakukola bwe wali mu lugendo lwo ng’ova mu Misiri.
18 that he has met you in the way, and strikes among you all those feeble behind you (when you [were] weary and fatigued), and is not fearing God.
Bwe wali okooye nnyo nga n’amaanyi gakuweddemu, baakusanga mu lugendo lwo olwo, ne balumba abo bonna abaali basembyeyo emabega wo ne babatta; Katonda nga tebamutya.
19 And it has been, in your God YHWH giving rest to you from all your surrounding enemies, in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance to possess it, you blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens—you do not forget.”
Bw’olimala okutuuka mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obusika bwo obw’enkalakkalira, ng’akumazeeko n’abalabe bo bonna ku njuyi zonna, ng’owummudde, ozikiririzanga ddala Abamaleki n’obamalirawo ddala bonna wansi w’eggulu, ne watabaawo baliddayo kubajjukira nti baali babaddewo. Ekyo tokyerabiranga.
