Leviticus 20
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Unto the sons of Israel, therefore shalt thou say, What man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech, he shall, surely be put to death, —the people of the land shall stone him with stones;
“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 I, also, will set my face against that man, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people, —because of his seed, hath he given unto Molech, seeing that he hath made unclean my sanctuary, even to the extent of profaning 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 But, if the people of the land, do even hide, their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, —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 will I myself, set my face against that man, and against his family, —and will cut him off, and all that follow unchastely after him—in going unchastely after Molech—out of 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 The person also that turneth unto mediums and unto oracles, in going unchastely after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off out of 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 Therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and be holy, —Because I—Yahweh, am your God.
“‘Noolwekyo mwetukuze mubeerenga batukuvu, kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
8 Therefore shall ye observe my statutes, and do them, —I—Yahweh, am he that is hallowing you.
Mukwatenga amateeka gange, mugagobererenga. Nze Mukama abatukuza.
9 When, any man whatsoever, curseth his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death, —his father or his mother, hath he cursed, his blood, shall be upon himself.
“‘Omuntu yenna anaakolimiranga kitaawe oba nnyina wa kuttibwanga. Noolwekyo akolimidde kitaawe oba nnyina, omusaayi gwe gunaabanga ku mutwe gwe.
10 And, any man, who committeth adultery with the wife of any other man, he that committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour shall surely be put to death—the adulterer, and the adulteress.
“‘Omusajja bwanaayendanga ku muka omusajja, bombi, omusajja ayenze n’omukazi gw’ayenzeeko banattibwanga.
11 And any man who lieth with his father’s wife, the shame of his father, hath uncovered, —they both shall, surely be put to death—their blood shall be upon themselves.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka kitaawe, anaabanga aweebudde kitaawe. Bombi omusajja n’omukazi banattibwanga; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
12 And any man who lieth with his daughter-in-law, they both shall, surely be put to death, confusion, have they wrought—their blood shall be upon themselves.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka mutabani we, bombi banattibwanga. Kubanga bombi banaabanga bakoze ebyambyone; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
13 And any man who lieth with mankind as with womankind, an abomination, have both of them wrought, —they shall, surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.
“‘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, any man, who taketh a woman and her mother, wickedness, it is, —in fire, shall both he and they be consumed, that wickedness be not 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, any man, who hath carnal knowledge of a beast, shall, surely be put to death, —and, the beast, shall ye slay.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaakolanga eby’ensonyi ku nsolo, anattibwanga, era n’ensolo munaagittanga.
16 And, a woman, who approacheth unto any beast, to couch down thereto, then shalt thou slay the woman and the beast, —they shall surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.
“‘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, any man, who taketh his sister—his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and vieweth her shame, and, she, vieweth his shame, a disgrace, it is, —they shall therefore be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people, —the shame of his sister, hath he uncovered—his iniquity, shall he bear.
“‘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, any man, who lieth with a woman having her sickness, and uncovereth her shame, her fountain, hath he exposed, she, also hath uncovered her fountain of blood, —they shall therefore both be cut off out of 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 the shame of thy mother’s sister, or of thy father’s sister, shalt thou not uncover, —for his near of kin, hath he exposed—their iniquity, shall they bear.
“‘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, any man, who lieth with his uncle’s wife, the shame of his uncle, hath he uncovered, —their sin, shall they bear—childless, shall they die.
“‘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, any man, who taketh his brother’s wife, impurity, it is, —the shame of his brother, hath he uncovered—childless, shall they remain.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga muka muganda we, kinaabanga ekikolwa ekitali kirongoofu, kubanga aweebudde muganda we. Tebalizaala baana.
22 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations, and do them, —So shall the land whereinto I am bringing you to dwell therein, not vomit you forth;
“‘Kale nno, mukwatenga amateeka gange gonna n’ebiragiro byange byonna, era mubikolerengako, ensi mwe mbatwala okutuulanga eryoke ereme kubasesema.
23 So shall ye not walk in the—statutes of the nations, which I am casting out from before you, —For all these things, had they done, Therefore I abhorred them;
Era temugobereranga mpisa ez’amawanga ge ŋŋenda ngoba mu nsi eyo; kubanga baakola ebintu ebyo byonna, noolwekyo mbakyawa nnyo.
24 And said unto you—Ye, shall possess their soil, Yea, I myself, will give it you to possess it, A land flowing with milk and honey, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who have distinguished 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 Therefore shall ye make a distinction—Between the clean beasts, and the unclean, —And between the unclean birds and the clean, —So shall ye not make your persons abominable with beast, or with bird or with anything which creepeth upon the ground, which I have distinguished for you, as 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 Therefore shall ye be unto me, holy persons, for, holy, am, I—Yahweh, —Therefore have I distinguished you from the peoples, that ye may be mine.
Kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu gye ndi, kubanga Nze, Mukama, ndi mutukuvu, era mbaawudde ku mawanga amalala mubeerenga ggwanga lyange.
27 And as touching man or woman, when there shall be in them a familiar spirit, or the spirit of an oracle, they shall, surely be put to death, —with stones, shall they be stoned—their blood, shall be upon themselves.
“‘Omusajja oba omukazi mu mmwe anaabeeranga omusamize oba omulogo, wa kuttibwanga. Mubakubanga amayinja; era omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.’”
