Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
Mugonderanga amateeka gonna ge nkulagira leero, mulyoke mubeerenga balamu era mwale, muyingire ensi Mukama Katonda gye yalayirira bajjajjammwe okugibawa mmwe ng’obutaka bwammwe.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
Onojjukiranga emyaka gino gyonna amakumi ana Mukama Katonda gy’azze ng’akukulembera okukuyisa mu ddungu alyoke akugezese, akukakkanye obeere muwombeefu omwetoowaze, era yeekkaanye mu mutima gwo alabe obanga onookwatanga amateeka ge.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Era yakukkakkanya n’akulumya enjala, n’akuliisa emmaanu, gye wali tolabangako wadde bakadde bo okugiwulirako, alyoke akuyigirize nti omuntu taba mulamu na mmere yokka, wabula na buli kigambo ekiva mu kamwa ka Mukama Katonda.
4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Mu myaka gino gyonna amakumi ana, engatto zo tezaakukaddiwako n’ebigere byo tebyazimba.
5 And thou shalt consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
Noolwekyo osaana okitegeere mu mutima gwo nti, Ng’omusajja bw’akangavvula mutabani we, ne Mukama Katonda wo bw’akukangavvula.
6 And thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
“Onookwatanga amateeka ga Mukama Katonda wo ng’otambuliranga mu makubo ge, era ng’omutya, ng’omussaamu ekitiibwa.
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths, springing forth in valleys and hills;
Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo akutwala mu nsi ennungi ennyo: ensi erimu emigga, n’ebidiba, n’ensulo ez’amazzi agakulukutira ku nsozi ne mu biwonvu.
8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of oil olives and honey;
Ensi omukula eŋŋaano ne sayiri, n’emitiini n’emikomamawanga, ensi ey’emizabbibu n’omubisi gw’enjuki;
9 a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
ensi, emmere gy’eteebeerenga ya bbula, nga buli ky’oneetaaganga onookifunanga; ensi, ng’ebyuma ge mayinja gaayo, era gy’onoosimanga ekikomo mu nsozi zaayo.
10 And thou shalt eat and be full, and thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
Awo bw’onoolyanga n’okkuta, weebazenga Mukama Katonda wo olw’okukuwa ensi ennungi bw’etyo.
11 Beware lest thou forget the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
“Weegenderezenga nnyo olemenga kwerabiranga Mukama Katonda wo, ng’ogaananga okukwatanga amateeka ge, n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkulagira leero.
12 lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
Si kulwa ng’onoolyanga n’okkuta, ne weezimbiranga amayumba amalungi, n’otereera;
13 and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
amagana go n’ebisibo byo nga bigezze, ne zaabu yo ne ffeeza yo nga byaze, nga ne buli kintu ky’onoobanga nakyo nga kyeyongedde okwala,
14 then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
kale olwo omutima gwo ne gujjangamu amalala, ne weerabiranga Mukama Katonda wo eyakuggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri mu nnyumba ey’obuddu.
15 who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Eyakukulemberanga n’akuyisanga mu ddungu eddene era ezzibu ennyo eritiisa, ekkalu omutali tuzzi, nga libunye emisota emikambwe egy’obusagwa, n’enjaba. Eyakuggyira amazzi mu lwazi.
16 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end:
Yakuliisanga emmaanu mu ddungu, emmere bajjajjaabo gye baali batalabangako. Yali ng’akwetoowazisa era nga bw’akugezesa, ku nkomerero biryoke bikugendere bulungi.
17 and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
Weekuumenga, olemenga okulowoozanga mu mutima gwo nti, ‘Obugagga buno bwonna mbufunye olw’obuyinza bwange n’amaanyi g’emikono gyange.’
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as at this day.
Naye ojjukiranga Mukama Katonda wo, kubanga y’akuwa obuyinza okufuna obugagga, alyoke atuukirize endagaano ye gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo, nga bwe kiri leero.
19 And it shall be, if thou shalt forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
“Bwe kanaakutandanga ne weerabiranga Mukama Katonda wo, n’ogobereranga bakatonda abalala, n’obasinzanga n’obavuunamiranga, mbategeeza mmwe leero nti ddala ddala mugenda kuzikirira.
20 As the nations which the LORD maketh to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God.
Nga bwe mulaba amawanga Mukama g’azikiriza mu maaso gammwe, nammwe bwe mulizikirira bwe mutyo, bwe mutaligonderanga ddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wammwe.”
