Leviticus 18
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: I [am] your God YHWH;
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
3 you do not do according to the work of the land of Egypt in which you have dwelt, and you do not do according to the work of the land of Canaan to where I am bringing you in, and you do not walk in their statutes.
Temusaana kweyisanga mu bikolwa byammwe ng’ab’omu Misiri, gye mwabeeranga, bwe beeyisa, era temusaana kweyisanga ng’ab’omu Kanani, gye mbatwala, bwe beeyisa. Temutambuliranga mu mateeka gaabwe.
4 You do My judgments and you keep My statutes, to walk in them; I [am] your God YHWH.
Munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange, munaakwatanga amateeka gange, era mwe munaatambuliranga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
5 And you have kept My statutes and My judgments which man does and lives in them; I [am] YHWH.
Mugonderenga ebiragiro byange awamu n’amateeka gange, kubanga buli muntu anaabikwatanga mu byo mwanaatambulizanga obulamu bwe. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
6 None of you draws near to any relation of his flesh to uncover nakedness; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Tewabanga omuntu yenna mu mmwe ajja eri munne gw’alinako oluganda ne yeebaka naye. Nze Mukama.
7 You do not uncover the nakedness of your father and the nakedness of your mother, she [is] your mother; you do not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Toleeteranga kitaawo buswavu ng’okola ebyensonyi ne nnyoko. Oyo ye maama wo eyakuzaala, teweebakanga naye ne mukola ebyensonyi, n’omuleetako obuswavu.
8 You do not uncover the nakedness of the wife of your father; it [is] the nakedness of your father.
“‘Teweebakanga na muka kitaawo ne mukola ebyensonyi, ekyo kireetera kitaawo obuswavu ne kimumalamu ekitiibwa.
9 The nakedness of your sister, daughter of your father, or daughter of your mother, born at home or born outside—you do not uncover their nakedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na mwannyoko, azaalibwa kitaawo, oba azaalibwa nnyoko, ne bwe muba nga mwakulira mu maka gamu oba nga temwakulira wamu, tomukolangako bya nsonyi okumuleetera obuswavu.
10 The nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter—you do not uncover their nakedness; for theirs [is] your nakedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na muwala azaalibwa mutabani wo, oba muwala w’omwana wo omuwala, n’okola naye ebyensonyi; ekyo ne kikuleetako obuswavu.
11 The nakedness of a daughter of your father’s wife, begotten of your father, she [is] your sister—you do not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na mwana wa muka kitaawo ow’obuwala eyazaalibwa kitaawo n’omukolako ebyensonyi; oyo mwannyoko. Tomuleeteranga bya buswavu.
12 You do not uncover the nakedness of a sister of your father; she [is] a relation of your father.
“‘Teweebakanga na mwannyina wa kitaawo n’okola naye ebyensonyi; oyo ne kitaawo ba musaayi gwe gumu.
13 You do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she [is] your mother’s relation.
“‘Teweebakanga na muwala bwe bazaalibwa ne nnyoko n’okola naye ebyensonyi; kubanga oyo ne nnyoko ba musaayi gwe gumu.
14 You do not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother; you do not draw near to his wife; she [is] your aunt.
“‘Toweebuulanga muganda wa kitaawo, ng’olaga eri mukazi we weebake naye mukole ebyensonyi; oyo maama wo omuto.
15 You do not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she [is] your son’s wife; you do not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na muka mutabani wo ne mukola ebyensonyi; kubanga oyo ye mukyala wa mutabani wo; tomuleeteranga bya buswavu.
16 You do not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it [is] your brother’s nakedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na muka muganda wo ne mukola ebyensonyi, kubanga ekyo kinaaleeteranga muganda wo obuswavu.
17 You do not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor do you take her son’s daughter and her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they [are] her relations; it [is] wickedness.
“‘Teweebakanga na mukazi ate ne muwala we n’okola nabo ebyensonyi. Era teweebakanga na mwana muwala owa mutabani wa mukazi oyo oba na mwana muwala owa muwala we; kubanga abo ba musaayi gwe gumu n’ogw’omukazi oyo. Ekyo kibi kinene.
18 And you do not take a woman [in addition] to her sister, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life.
“‘Toleetanga mukazi nga muganda wa mukyala wo ne badda mu kuvuganya, era ne weebaka naye ne mukola ebyensonyi nga mukyala wo akyali mulamu.
19 And you do not draw near to a woman in the separation of her uncleanness to uncover her nakedness.
“‘Tosembereranga mukazi ng’oyagala weebake naye omukoleko ebyensonyi ng’ali mu kiseera kye ekya buli mwezi eky’okuvaamu omusaayi mw’abeerera atali mulongoofu.
20 And you do not give your seed [from] intercourse to the wife of your fellow, to become unclean with her.
“‘Teweebakanga na mukyala wa munnansi yammwe okumukolako ebyensonyi, n’akuleetera obutali bulongoofu.
21 And you do not give from your seed to pass over to the Molech, nor do you defile the Name of your God; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Mu baana bo towangayo n’omu ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokeddwa mu muliro eri Moleki, kubanga erinnya lya Katonda wo tosaanira kuliweebuulanga. Nze Mukama.
22 And you do not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it [is] an abomination.
“‘Teweebakanga na musajja nga bwe wandyebase n’omukazi, ekyo kibi ekikyayibwa ennyo.
23 And you do not commit your intercourse with any beast, to become unclean with it; and a woman does not stand before a beast to mate with it; it [is] perversion.
“‘Tokolanga bya nsonyi ku nsolo kubanga ekyo kinaakufuulanga atali mulongoofu. Omukazi teyeewangayo eri ensolo emukoleko ebyensonyi, okwo kwe kuwabira ddala.
24 Do not defile yourselves with all these, for with all these the nations have been defiled which I am sending away from before you;
“‘Temwereetangako obutali bulongoofu nga mugoberera amayisa ago amabi; kubanga n’amawanga ge ŋŋenda okugoba mu nsi mwe mujja okuyingira bwe geefuula bwe gatyo agatali malongoofu;
25 and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity on it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.
n’ensi n’efuuka etali nnongoofu, ne ngibonereza olw’ebyonoono byayo, n’abantu baamu abagibeeramu n’ebasesema.
26 And you have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not do [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,
Naye mmwe mukuumenga ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange. Abazaaliranwa ne bannamawanga abali mu mmwe tewabanga n’omu anaakolanga ku bintu ebyo n’akatono ebikyayibwa ennyo bwe bityo.
27 for the men of the land who [are] before you have done all these abominations and the land is defiled,
Kubanga ebintu ebyo byonna byakolebwanga abantu abaabasooka mmwe okubeera mu nsi omwo, ensi n’efuuka etali nnongoofu.
28 and the land does not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it has vomited out the nation which [is] before you;
Ensi eyo bwe muligifuula etali nnongoofu, egenda kubasesema nga bwe yasesema amawanga agaabasooka okugibeeramu.
29 for anyone who does [any] of all these abominations—even the persons who are doing [so]—have been cut off from the midst of their people;
“‘Abantu bonna abanaakolanga ebintu ebyo ebibi ebikyayibwa ennyo, abantu ng’abo banaagobwanga ne bagaanibwa okukolagana ne bannaabwe.
30 and you have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and you do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] your God YHWH.”
Mukwatenga amateeka gange, nga mwewalanga okukola ebyonoono ebyo ebikyayibwa eby’amayisa amabi, abo abaabasooka ge beeyisanga si kulwa nga gabafuula abatali balongoofu. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.’”
