Leviticus 20
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 “And you say to the sons of Israel: Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who gives to the Molech from his seed, is certainly put to death; the people of the land stone him with stone;
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri bw’oti nti, Omuyisirayiri yenna, oba omunnaggwanga atuula mu Isirayiri, bw’anaawangayo omwana we ng’ekiweebwayo eri Moleki, kitaawe w’omwana oyo ajjanga kuttibwa. Abantu ab’omu kitundu ekyo mw’abeera banaamukubanga amayinja.
3 and I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for he has given to the Molech from his seed, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to defile My holy Name.
Nange kennyini, omuntu oyo nnaamunyiigiranga, era nnaamugobanga ne mmugaana okukolagananga ne banne, kubanga awaddeyo omu ku baana be ng’ekiweebwayo eri Moleki, n’ayonoona Awatukuvu wange era n’avumisa erinnya lyange ettukuvu.
4 And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving to the Molech from his seed, so as not to put him to death,
Era abantu ab’omu kitundu ekyo mw’abeera, bwe banaamuzibiranga ku liiso, omuntu oyo awaddeyo omwana we eri Moleki, ne batamutta,
5 then I have set My face against that man and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going whoring after him, even going whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.
omuntu oyo nnaamunyiigiranga, ne ku b’omu nnyumba ye, ne mbagoba ne mbagaana okukolagananga ne bannaabwe, ye ne banne abakolaganye naye mu kukuba obwamalaaya ne Moleki.
6 And the person who turns to those having familiar spirits, and to the wizards, to go whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.
“‘Omuntu bw’anaakolagananga n’abasamize, n’abalogo, n’akuba nabo obwamalaaya, nnaamunyiigiranga, era nnaamugobanga ne mugaana okukolagana ne banne.
7 And you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] your God YHWH;
“‘Noolwekyo mwetukuze mubeerenga batukuvu, kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
8 and you have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you.
Mukwatenga amateeka gange, mugagobererenga. Nze Mukama abatukuza.
9 For any man who reviles his father and his mother is certainly put to death; he has reviled his father and his mother: his blood [is] on him.
“‘Omuntu yenna anaakolimiranga kitaawe oba nnyina wa kuttibwanga. Noolwekyo akolimidde kitaawe oba nnyina, omusaayi gwe gunaabanga ku mutwe gwe.
10 And a man who commits adultery with a man’s wife—who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor—the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.
“‘Omusajja bwanaayendanga ku muka omusajja, bombi, omusajja ayenze n’omukazi gw’ayenzeeko banattibwanga.
11 And a man who lies with his father’s wife—he has uncovered the nakedness of his father—both of them are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka kitaawe, anaabanga aweebudde kitaawe. Bombi omusajja n’omukazi banattibwanga; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
12 And a man who lies with his daughter-in-law—both of them are certainly put to death; they have done perversion; their blood [is] on them.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka mutabani we, bombi banattibwanga. Kubanga bombi banaabanga bakoze ebyambyone; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
13 And a man who lies with a male as one lies with a woman—both of them have done an abomination; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne musajja munne nga bwe yandyebase n’omukazi, bombi banaabanga bakoze eky’ekivve; era banattibwanga, n’omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
14 And a man who takes the woman and her mother—it [is] wickedness; they burn him and them with fire, and there is no wickedness in your midst.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga omukazi ate n’atwalirako ne nnyina, ekyo kya kivve. Ye n’abakazi bombi banaayokebwanga mu muliro, bwe mutyo ekyonoono ekyo ne mukyegobako.
15 And a man who commits his intercourse with a beast is certainly put to death, and you slay the beast.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaakolanga eby’ensonyi ku nsolo, anattibwanga, era n’ensolo munaagittanga.
16 And a woman who draws near to any beast to mate with it—you have even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
“‘Omukazi bw’anaasembereranga ensolo alyoke akole nayo eby’ensonyi, mumuttanga n’ensolo ne mugitta. Omukazi anattibwanga n’ensolo nettibwa; omusaayi gw’omukazi gunaabanga ku mutwe gwe, n’ogw’ensolo gunaabanga ku mutwe gwayo.
17 And a man who takes his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he has seen her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness—it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; he has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he bears his iniquity.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga mwannyina, oba nga mwanamuwala wa kitaawe, oba nga mwanamuwala wa nnyina, ne beebaka bombi, kinaabanga kya buwemu. Bombi banaagobwanga mu bannaabwe ne babagaana okukolagananga nabo. Kubanga omusajja oyo anaabanga aweebudde mwannyina, era y’aneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna olw’ekibi ekyo.
18 And a man who lies with a sick woman and has uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he has made bare, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood—even both of them have been cut off from the midst of their people.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga n’omukazi mu biseera by’omukazi, ebya buli mwezi ng’empisa y’abakazi bw’eba, anaabanga abikudde ensulo y’omusaayi gw’omukazi oyo, era n’omukazi anaabanga yeebikudde. Bombi banaagobwanga mu bannaabwe ne babagaana okukolagananga nabo.
19 And you do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister and your father’s sister, because his relation he has made bare; they bear their iniquity.
“‘Teweebakanga na mukazi muganda wa nnyoko oba ne mwannyina wa kitaawo n’okola naye eby’ensonyi, kubanga ekyo kiweebuula owooluganda ow’okumpi. Mwembi munaavunaanyizibwanga olw’ekyonoono kyammwe ekyo.
20 And a man who lies with his aunt, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle; they bear their sin; they die childless.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka kitaawe omuto oba ne muka kojjaawe, anaabanga aweebudde bakadde be abo. Omusajja oyo n’omukazi oyo be baneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa obw’ekibi ekyo, era balifa nga tebalina baana.
21 And a man who takes his brother’s wife—it [is] impurity; he has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they are childless.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga muka muganda we, kinaabanga ekikolwa ekitali kirongoofu, kubanga aweebudde muganda we. Tebalizaala baana.
22 And you have kept all My statutes and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land does not vomit you out to where I am bringing you in to dwell in it;
“‘Kale nno, mukwatenga amateeka gange gonna n’ebiragiro byange byonna, era mubikolerengako, ensi mwe mbatwala okutuulanga eryoke ereme kubasesema.
23 and you do not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for they have done all these, and I am wearied with them.
Era temugobereranga mpisa ez’amawanga ge ŋŋenda ngoba mu nsi eyo; kubanga baakola ebintu ebyo byonna, noolwekyo mbakyawa nnyo.
24 And I say to you, You possess their ground, and I give it to you to possess it—a land flowing with milk and honey. I [am] your God YHWH, who has separated you from the peoples.
Naye nabategeeza nti, “Mulisikira ensi yaabwe, era ndigibawa ne mugirya, ye nsi omukulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.” Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe eyabaawula ku mawanga amalala.
25 And you have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the pure, and you do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by bird, or by anything which creeps [on] the ground which I have separated to you for unclean.
“‘Noolwekyo mujjanga kwawulamu ensolo ennongoofu n’etali nnongoofu, n’ennyonyi ennongoofu n’etali nnongoofu. Temufuukanga abatali balongoofu olw’ensolo oba ennyonyi, oba ebiramu byonna ebitambula ku ttaka, bye mmaze okwawulako ne mbibategeeza nti si birongoofu.
26 And you have been holy to Me, for I, YHWH, [am] holy; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.
Kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu gye ndi, kubanga Nze, Mukama, ndi mutukuvu, era mbaawudde ku mawanga amalala mubeerenga ggwanga lyange.
27 And a man or woman, when there is a familiar spirit in them, or who [are] wizards, are certainly put to death; they stone them with stone; their blood [is] on them.”
“‘Omusajja oba omukazi mu mmwe anaabeeranga omusamize oba omulogo, wa kuttibwanga. Mubakubanga amayinja; era omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.’”
