Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests the Levites, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of YHWH made by fire, and his inheritance.
Bakabona, Abaleevi n’ekika kyonna ekya Leevi, tebaafunenga mugabo oba bya busika mu Isirayiri. Banaaweebwanga ku biweebwayo ebyokebwa ebinaaleetebwanga eri Mukama Katonda; ogwo gwe gunaabanga omugabo ogw’obusika bwabwe.
2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers: YHWH is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
Tebaabeerenga na mugabo gwa busika nga bannaabwe abalala bonna mu Isirayiri, kubanga Mukama Katonda yabasuubiza nga y’anaabanga obusika bwabwe.
3 This shall be the priests' due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
Bino bakabona bye banaagabananga ku biweebwayo eby’ente za sseddume n’endiga abantu bye banaabanga baleese: bakabona banaafunangako omukono n’emba zombi, n’eby’omu lubuto.
4 The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
Era onoobawanga ebibala byo ebibereberye eby’emmere ey’empeke, n’ebya wayini wo, n’amafuta go, n’ebyoya ebisooka eby’endiga zo.
5 For YHWH your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of YHWH, him and his sons for ever.
Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo yeeroboza Leevi n’ezzadde lye mu bika byo byonna okuweerezanga mu linnya lya Mukama emirembe n’emirembe.
6 If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he lives as a foreigner, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which YHWH shall choose;
Omuleevi bw’anaavanga mu kimu ku bibuga byo ebiri mu Isirayiri gy’abadde atuula, n’ajja nga bw’anaabanga yeeteeserezza, n’ajja mu kifo Mukama Katonda ky’aneeronderanga,
7 then he shall minister in the name of YHWH his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before YHWH.
anaayinzanga okuweereza mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda we okufaanana nga Abaleevi banne abalala aba buli kiseera abanaabanga baweereza mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda mu kifo ekyo.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
Anaagabananga kyenkanyi ne banne abaabulijjo, ne bw’anaabanga ng’alina ensimbi ezize ku bubwe z’anaabanga aggye mu by’omu maka ge by’atunze.
9 When you have come into the land which YHWH your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Bw’onooyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, weekuume obutayiga kukopperera mpisa embi ez’abantu ab’omu mawanga g’olisanga mu nsi omwo.
10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who practices divination, or tells fortunes, or interprets omens, or a sorcerer,
Tewabeerangawo omuntu n’omu alirabika ng’ayisa mutabani we, oba muwala we mu muliro, ng’ekiweebwayo, oba ng’akola ng’omulaguzi, oba omulogo, oba omusawo w’ekinnansi, oba avvuunula eby’omu biseera ebijja,
11 or who casts spells, or consults a medium or a familiar spirit, or inquires of the dead.
oba asuula abantu eddalu, oba emmandwa, oba omusamize, oba omulubaale, oba ayogera n’emizimu, oba eyeebuuza ku baafa.
12 For whoever does these things is an abomination to YHWH. And because of these abominations YHWH your God is driving them out from before you.
Omuntu yenna anaakolanga ebintu ng’ebyo, anaabanga kivume era ekyomuzizo eri Mukama. Era olwokubanga ab’omu mawanga ago bakola ebyomuzizo ebyo, Mukama Katonda wo kyanaava abagoba mu nsi omwo ng’ogiyingira.
13 You shall be blameless before YHWH your God.
Kikugwanira obenga muwulize nnyo, atuukiridde mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
14 For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice sorcery, and to diviners; but as for you, YHWH your God has not allowed you so to do.
Newaakubadde ng’abantu ab’omu mawanga ago b’ogenda okulyako ensi yaabwe, bagondera nnyo abalaguzi n’abasamize, naye ebyo Mukama Katonda wo, ggwe, takukkiriza kubikola.
15 YHWH your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
Mukama Katonda wo agenda kukuyimusiza Nnabbi ali nga nze, ng’amuggya mu bantu bo. Nnabbi oyo mumuwulirizanga era mumugonderanga.
16 This is according to all that you desired of YHWH your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, "Let me not hear again the voice of YHWH my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die."
Kubanga ekyo kye wasaba Mukama Katonda wo ku lunaku olw’okukuŋŋaana ku lusozi Kolebu ng’ogamba nti, “Sisaanidde kuddayo nate kuwulira ddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wange wadde okuddayo okulaba omuliro guno omungi, nneme okufa.”
17 YHWH said to me, "They have well said that which they have spoken.
Mukama Katonda kwe kunnyanukula nti, “Kye bagambye kirungi era kituufu.
18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Nzija kubayimusiza Nnabbi ali nga ggwe okuva wakati mu bo; Nze nnaasanga ebigambo byange mu kammwe ke, ye n’abategeezanga bye nnaamulagiranga.
19 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will call him to account.
Omuntu yenna ataagonderenga bigambo Nnabbi by’anaayogeranga mu linnya lyange, Nze kennyini, Nze nnaamwekolerangako.
20 But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die."
Naye nnabbi anaayogeranga mu linnya lya bakatonda abalala, oba aneetulinkirizanga nti ayogera mu linnya lyange, songa si Nze mmulagidde okubyogera, nnabbi oyo wa kufa.”
21 If you say in your heart, "How shall we know the word which YHWH has not spoken?"
Oyinza okwebuuza nti, “Tunaamanyanga tutya ng’ebigambo ebyo Mukama Katonda si y’anaabanga abyogedde?”
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of YHWH, if the thing doesn't follow, nor happen, that is the thing which YHWH has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him.
Ebigambo nnabbi by’anaayogeranga mu linnya lya Mukama bwe bitaatuukirirenga oba bwe bitaabenga bya mazima, ng’ebigambo ebyo Mukama Katonda si y’abyogedde. Nnabbi oyo by’anaabanga ayogedde anaabanga abiyiiyizza buyiiya. Ebyo tebibatiisanga.
