Deuteronomy 22
1 “If you see some Israeli’s ox or sheep that has strayed away, do not act as though you did not see it. Take it back [to its owner].
Bw’olabanga ente ya munno, oba endiga ye, ng’ebula okuva ewaabayo, togirekanga bulesi ne weesuulirayo ogwa nnaggamba naye ogikwatanga n’ogizzaayo ewa nnyiniyo.
2 But if the owner does not live near you, or if you do not know who the owner is, take the animal to your house. [It can stay with you] until the owner comes, searching for it. Then you must give the animal to him.
Nannyini yo bw’abanga tasula kumpi naawe, obanga nannyini yo tomumanyi, ogireetanga mu maka go n’obeeranga nayo okutuusa nannyini yo lw’alijja ng’aginoonya; olwo nno n’olyoka ogimuddiza.
3 You must do the same thing if you see a donkey, or a piece of clothing, or anything else that someone has lost. Do not refuse to do what you should do.
Okolanga bw’otyo ng’osanze endogoyi ya munno, obanga olonze ekyambalo kya munno, oba ekintu kyonna ekirala munno ky’anaabanga abuliddwa kyokka ggwe n’okironda. Tolemanga kuyamba munno ng’ali mu buzibu, ate nga wandisobodde okumuyamba. Obusobozi bw’onoobanga nabwo okuyamba munno tobumukwekanga.
4 “And if you see a fellow Israeli’s donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, do not act as though you did not see it. Help the owner to lift the animal up [so that it can stand on its feet again].
Bw’onoolabanga endogoyi ya munno, oba ente ye, ng’egudde ku kkubo, togiyitangako buyisi, wabula omuyambanga okugiyimusa.
5 “Women must not wear men’s clothes, and men must not wear women’s clothes. Yahweh our God hates people who do things like that.
Omukazi taayambalenga ngoye za kisajja, so n’omusajja taayambalenga ngoye za kikazi; kubanga abakola ebyo Mukama Katonda wammwe abakyayira ddala.
6 “If you happen to find a bird’s nest in a tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting in the nest on its eggs or with the baby birds, do not take the mother bird [and kill it].
Temutwalanga Nnyonyi Nzadde. Bwe munaalabanga ekisu ky’ennyonyi ku muti, oba ku mabbali g’ekkubo, nga kirimu amagi oba obwana obuto, nga ne nnyina waabwo abumaamidde, oba atudde ku magi, bwe munaatwalanga obwana obuto, nnyina waabwo temumutwalirangako.
7 You are permitted to take the baby birds, but you must allow the mother bird to fly away. Do this in order that things will go well for you and that you will live for a long time.
Obwana obuto munaayinzanga okubutwala, kyokka nnyina waabwo mumulekanga n’agenda, mulyoke mufunenga emirembe mu mutima awamu n’obuwangaazi.
8 “If you build a new house, you must put a (railing/low wall) around the edge of the roof. If you do that, and if someone falls off the roof [and dies], (you will not be guilty of causing that person to die/his death [MTY] will not be your fault).
Bwe muneezimbiranga enju empya ey’akasolya akatereevu akatali keesulifu, mukolangako akasenge waggulu okwebungulula akasolya ako, kalyoke kaziyizenga omuntu okuva eyo waggulu n’agwa wansi, n’aleeteranga ennyumba eyo omusango olw’omusaayi ogunaabanga guyiise.
9 “Do not plant any crop in the area where your grapevines are growing. If you do, you are not allowed to harvest the crops that you have planted or to harvest the grapes [to make wine from them].
Wakati w’ennyiriri z’emizabbibu temusimbangamu mmere ya ngeri ndala, bwe munaakikolanga, ebibala by’emizabbibu n’eby’emmere gye munaabanga musimbyemu, byombi munaabifiirwanga.
10 “Do not hitch together an ox and a donkey [for plowing your fields].
Ente n’endogoyi temuzigattanga wamu ne muzisibanga ku kikoligo kye kimu eky’ekyuma kye munaabanga mulimisa.
11 “Do not wear clothing that is made by weaving together (wool and linen/two different kinds of thread).
Temwambalanga ngoye ezinaabanga zirukiddwa n’ewuzi z’ebyoya by’endiga nga zigattiddwa wamu n’ewuzi eza linena.
12 “[Twist threads together to] make tassels and sew/fasten them on the four bottom corners of your cloak.
Mutunganga emijunga ku buli nsonda ennya ez’eminagiro gyammwe gye munaayambalanga.
13 “Suppose a man marries a young woman and has sex with her and later decides that he does not want her any more,
Omusajja bw’aneewasizanga omukazi, kyokka oluvannyuma lw’okusula naye, n’amukyawa,
14 and he says false things about her, and claims that she was not a virgin when he married her.
n’amuwaayiriza ng’amukonjera ng’agamba nti, “Nawasa omukazi ono, naye bwe nasula naye saamusanga nga mbeerera,”
15 If that happens, the young woman’s parents must take the sheet that was on the bed when that man and their daughter were married, which still has bloodstains on it, and show it to the elders of the city at the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city.
Kitaawe w’omuwala oyo ne nnyina banaaleeteranga abakulembeze abakulu ab’ekibuga ekyo, nga bali ku wankaaki waakyo, obujulizi obunaalaganga ng’omuwala waabwe yali mbeerera.
16 Then the father of the young woman must say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife. But now he says that he doesn’t want her any more.
Kitaawe w’omuwala anaategeezanga abakulembeze abakulu nti, “Nagabira omusajja ono omwana wange omuwala amuwase, naye omusajja amukyaye.
17 And he has falsely said that she was not a virgin when he married her. But look! Here is what proves that my daughter was a virgin! Look at the bloodstains on the sheet where they slept the night that they were married!’ And he will show the sheet to the elders.
Kaakano wuuno amuwaayiriza ng’amukonjera ng’amwogerako nti, Muwala wo namusanga nga si mbeerera.” Naye obujulizi buubuno obulaga ng’omwana wange ono omuwala yali mbeerera. Abazadde b’omuwala banaayanjululizanga essuuka y’obuliri mu maaso g’abakulembeze abakulu ab’ekibuga ekyo.
18 Then the elders of that city must take that man and whip him.
Abakulembeze abakulu b’ekibuga ekyo banaatwalanga bba w’omuwala, banaasookanga okumukubamu.
19 They shall require that he pay a fine of 100 pieces of silver and give the money to the father of the young woman, because the man caused an Israeli young woman to be disgraced. Also, that woman must continue to live with him; she is his wife. He is not allowed to divorce her during the rest of his life.
Ate ne bamusalira omutango gwa sekeri za ffeeza kikumi; banaaziwanga kitaawe w’omuwala; kubanga omusajja oyo anaabanga aleese erinnya ebbi ku muwala wa Isirayiri embeerera. Omuwala oyo anaabeeranga mu maka g’omusajja oyo ebbanga lyonna, era omusajja takkirizibwenga kugoba mukazi we oyo ebiro byonna omusajja oyo by’alimala nga mulamu.
20 “But if what the man said is true, and there is nothing to prove that she was a virgin when he married her,
Naye singa omusajja nga by’anaabanga ayogedde bya mazima, nga n’obujulizi obukakasa ng’omuwala yali mbeerera bunaabanga bubuze,
21 they must take that young woman to the door of her father’s house. Then the men of that city must execute her by throwing stones at her. They must do that because she has done something in Israel that is very disgraceful, by having sex with some man [while she was still living] in her father’s house. By executing her like that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
kale nno omuwala oyo anaaleetebwanga ku muzigo gw’ennyumba ya kitaawe, era abasajja ab’omu kibuga ky’omuwala oyo banaamukubiranga awo amayinja n’afa. Kubanga anaabanga akoze ekikolwa kya bugwenyufu nnyo eky’okumanya abasajja ng’akyali mu luggya lwa kitaawe. Ekibi musaananga mukimalemu mu Isirayiri.
22 “If a man is caught while he is having sex with another man’s wife, both of them must be executed. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice in Israel.
Omusajja bw’anaakwatibwanga nga yeebase n’omukyala w’omusajja omulala, kale, omusajja akwatiddwa n’omukyala gw’anaabanga yeebase naye, bombi baakuttibwanga. Ekibi musaana mukimalengamu mu Isirayiri.
23 “Suppose in some town a man sees a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married to another man, and he is caught having sex with [EUP] her.
Bwe wanaabangawo omuwala embeerera ayogerezebwa afumbirwe, omusajja n’amusanga mu kibuga ne yeebaka naye,
24 You must take both of them to the (gate of/central meeting place in) that town. There you must execute them both by throwing stones at them. You must execute the young woman because she did not shout for help even though she was in the town. And the man must be executed because he had sex [EUP] with someone who was already engaged/promised to be married. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
munaabaleetanga bombi ku wankaaki w’ekibuga ekyo ne mubakuba amayinja ne bafa; omuwala, bwe kibanga nga yali munda mu kibuga naye n’atakuba nduulu kufuna buyambi; omusajja, kubanga yayonoona omuwala ajja okufumbirwa omusajja we. Bwe mutyo bwe munaamalangamu ekibi mu mmwe.
25 “But suppose out in the open countryside a man meets a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married, and he rapes her. If that happens, only that man must be executed.
Naye omusajja bw’anaasanganga omuwala ayogerezebwa ku ttale n’amukwata ne yeebaka naye olw’empaka, kale nno omusajja anaabanga yeebase n’omuwala oyo y’anattibwanga.
26 You must not punish the young woman, because she did not do anything for which she deserves to be executed. This case is like when one man attacks another man [in the countryside] and murders him,
Omuwala oyo temumukolangako kintu kyonna, kubanga anaabanga talina kibi kyonna ky’akoze ekinaamusaanyizanga okufa. Ensonga ezo zifaanana ng’ez’omuntu anaabanga alumbaganye muliraanwa we n’amutemula.
27 because the man who raped her saw her when she was in the open countryside, and even though she called out for help, there was no one there who could rescue her.
Olwokubanga omuwala ono anaabanga ayogerezebwa okufumbirwa yasangibwa omusajja ku ttale etali bantu, anaayinzanga okuba nga yeekubira enduulu naye ne watabaawo amudduukirira okumuyamba.
28 “If a man rapes a young woman who is not engaged/promised to be married, if someone sees him while he is doing that,
Omusajja bw’anasisinkananga omuwala embeerera naye nga taliiko amwogereza, n’amukwata ne yeebaka naye, ne bakwatibwa nga bali mu kikolwa ekyo,
29 that man must pay 50 pieces of silver to the young woman’s father, and he must marry her, because he forced her to have sex with him. He is not allowed to divorce her for the rest of his life.
omusajja anaabanga yeebase n’omuwala oyo anaasasulanga kitaawe w’omuwala sekeri eza ffeeza amakumi ataano. Omusajja anaawasanga omuwala oyo okuba mukazi we, kubanga anaabanga amaze okumusobyako. Era taamugobenga okumala ebbanga lyonna omusajja oyo nga mulamu.
30 “man must not disgrace his father by having sex with any of his father’s wives.”
Omusajja taawasenga mukyala wa kitaawe aleme kuweebuulanga kitiibwa kya buliri bwa kitaawe.
