Leviticus 21
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to the priests, sons of Aaron, and you have said to them: No one defiles himself for a [dead] person 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 except for his relation who [is] near to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
wabula ng’amulinako oluganda olw’okumpi. Gamba nga nnyina, oba kitaawe, oba mutabani we, oba muwala we, oba muganda we,
3 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.
oba mwannyina embeerera atamanyi musajja, gw’alinako obuvunaanyizibwa kubanga tabeerangako na bba, kubanga ayinza okwereetako obutali bulongoofu.
4 A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;
Kabona nga bw’ali omukulembeze, tekimusaanira kwereetako obutali bulongoofu wakati mu bantu be.
5 they do not make baldness on their head, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh;
Bakabona tebamwangako nviiri ku mitwe gyabwe, wadde okumwako ebirevu byabwe, oba okusala emisale ku mibiri gyabwe.
6 they are holy to their God, and they do not defile the Name of their God, for the fire-offerings of YHWH, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been 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 They do not take a woman of harlotry, or defiled, and they do not take a woman cast out from her husband, for he [is] holy to his God;
Tebawasanga mukazi malaaya oba atali mulongoofu, oba oyo agobeddwa ewa bba; kubanga bakabona batukuvu eri Katonda waabwe.
8 and you have sanctified him, for he is bringing the bread of your God near. He is holy to you, for I, YHWH, sanctifying 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 when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.
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 high priest of his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who has consecrated his hand to put on the garments, does not uncover his head, nor tear his garments,
“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 nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for his mother;
Tayingiranga mu kifo omuli omulambo, aleme kwereetako obutali bulongoofu. Omulambo ne bwe gunaabanga ogwa kitaawe oba ogwa nnyina.
12 nor does he go out from the sanctuary, nor does he defile the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] YHWH.
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 takes a wife in her virginity;
Anaawasanga omukazi mbeerera atamanyanga musajja.
14 a widow, or cast out, or defiled, [or] a harlot—these he does not take, but he takes a virgin of his own people [for] a 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 and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
aleme okuleetera ezzadde lye obutali bulongoofu wakati mu bantu be. Kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda amutukuza.”
16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
17 “Speak to Aaron, saying, No man of your seed throughout their generations in whom there is blemish draws near to bring the bread of his God near,
“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 no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
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 in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
oba omuntu alina ekigere ekyagongobala, oba omukono ogwalemala,
20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or [with] a defect in his eye, or [with] an itch, or [with] a scab, or [with] a broken testicle.
oba ow’ebbango, oba nakalanga, oba atalaba bulungi, oba ng’omubiri gwe gumusiiwa yeetakulatakula, oba ng’alina amabwa agakulukuta, oba nga yayabika enjagi.
21 No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) comes near to bring the fire-offerings of YHWH near; blemish [is] in him; he does not come near to bring the bread of his God near.
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 Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;
Anaayinzanga okulya ku mmere entukuvu ennyo eya Katonda we;
23 only, he does not come toward the veil, and he does not draw near to the altar; for blemish [is] in him; and he does not defile My sanctuaries; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying 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 speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
Bw’atyo Musa n’ategeeza Alooni ne batabani be, awamu n’abaana bonna aba Isirayiri ebigambo ebyo byonna.
