< Leviticus 16 >

1 After the two sons of Aaron died because they burned incense to Yahweh [in a manner that was contrary to what Yahweh commanded], Yahweh spoke to Moses/me.
Awo Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa, abaana ba Alooni ababiri bwe baali bamaze okufa olwokubanga baasemberera Mukama.
2 He said to him/me, “Warn your [older] brother Aaron that he must not enter the Very Holy Place inside the curtain that is in the Sacred Tent whenever he wants to, because the cover of the sacred chest is there. That is the place where the priest (makes atonement for/requests me to forgive) sins. I am present in the cloud that is over the cover of the sacred chest. If Aaron goes in that room when it is not the proper time, he will die!
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Tegeeza muganda wo Alooni alemenga okujja buli w’anaayagaliranga, mu kifo Awatukuvu ekiri munda w’eggigi, okutunuulira entebe ey’okusaasira eri ku Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano; bw’alikikola talirema kufa; kubanga nzijanga kulabikira mu kire nga kiri waggulu w’entebe ey’okusaasira.
3 “When Aaron enters the Sacred Tent area, he must bring a bull that [will be killed] to become an offering/sacrifice for sins, and a ram [to be killed] to be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
Naye Alooni bw’anaabanga ajja mu kifo Awatukuvu anaaleetanga ennyana ennume olw’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’endiga ennume olw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa.
4 Then he must bathe his whole body, and put on the linen underwear/undershorts and the linen gown. He must tie the linen sash/waistbands around his waist and wrap the turban around his head. Those are his sacred garments.
Anaayambalanga ekkooti entukuvu eya bafuta, ne munda ku mubiri gwe anaasookangako empale eya bafuta, nga yeesibye olukoba olwa bafuta, ne ku mutwe ng’asibyeko ekitambaala ekya bafuta. Ebyambalo ebyo bitukuvu, noolwekyo kimusaaniranga okusooka okunaaba omubiri gwe mu mazzi nga tannabyambala.
5 The Israeli people must then bring to him two male goats [to be killed] as an offering/sacrifice for sin, and a ram to be [killed and] burned completely [on the altar].
Era anaggyanga mu baana ba Isirayiri embuzi ennume bbiri nga za kiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’endiga emu nga ya kiweebwayo ekyokebwa.
6 “Aaron must offer the bull [to me] to be a sacrifice in order that (I will forgive his sins and the sins of his family/his sins and the sins of his family will be forgiven).
“Alooni anaawangayo ennyana ennume nga ya kiweebwayo kye olw’ekibi alyoke yeetangiririre awamu n’ab’omu maka ge.
7 Then he must bring the two male goats to me at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
Era anaddiranga embuzi ebbiri n’azireeta eri Mukama mu mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
8 He must (cast lots/throw down stones that have been marked) to determine which goat will be [sacrificed] to me, and which will be the goat that will be set free.
Embuzi ebbiri Alooni anaazikubirangako obululu; akalulu akamu nga ka kugwa ku mbuzi ya Mukama, n’akalala nga ka kugwa ku mbuzi enessibwangako omusango.
9 Aaron must bring to me the goat that was chosen to be sacrificed. It will be an offering for the people’s sins.
Alooni anaddiranga embuzi akalulu ka Mukama kwe kanaagwanga, n’agiwaayo okubeera ekiweebwayo olw’okwonoona.
10 Aaron must also bring to me the other goat, but it is not to be killed. It will be freed while it is still alive. As a result of Aaron sending it into the desert, the people’s sins will be forgiven.
Naye embuzi eneegwangako akalulu ak’okugissibyako omusango, eneeweebwangayo eri Mukama nga nnamu, n’eteebwa n’eddukira mu ddungu mu kifo Azazeri ng’esibiddwako omusango olw’okutangirira.
11 “Then Aaron must bring the young bull to me, to be an offering/sacrifice for himself and for his family. He must slaughter that bull to be an offering for their sins, [and he must drain the blood into a basin].
“Alooni anaawangayo ennyana eyo ennume nga ya kiweebwayo kye olw’ekibi, alyoke yeetangiririre awamu n’ab’omu maka ge; ennyana eyo ennume anaagittanga nga kye kiweebwayo kye olw’ekibi.
12 Then he must take some burning coals from the [bronze] altar and put them in the incense burner. Then he must fill his hands with fragrant finely-ground incense. Then he must take the incense and the incense burner inside the curtain into the Very Holy Place [of the Sacred Tent].
Anaddiranga ekyoterezo ky’obubaane nga kijjudde amanda g’omuliro nga gavudde ku kyoto eri Mukama, n’embatu bbiri ez’obubaane obw’akaloosa obumerunguddwa obulungi, n’abireeta munda w’eggigi.
13 There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die [like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly] (OR, [because of being in God’s presence]).
Anassanga obubaane ku muliro eri Mukama, n’omukka ogunaavanga mu bubaane gunaabikkanga entebe ey’okusaasira eri kungulu w’Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, alyoke aleme okufa.
14 Then he must dip his finger into [the basin] and sprinkle some blood on the lid of the sacred chest, and also sprinkle some blood seven times against the front of the chest.
Anaddiranga ku musaayi ogw’ennyana eyo ennume n’agumansira n’olunwe lwe ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba olw’entebe ey’okusaasira; era omusaayi ogumu anaagumansiranga n’olunwe lwe emirundi musanvu mu maaso g’entebe ey’okusaasira.
15 [“Aaron must then go outside the Sacred Tent] and slaughter the goat to be an offering for the sins of the people. Then he must bring its blood into the Very Holy Place behind the curtain. There he must sprinkle [some of] that blood on the lid of the sacred chest and against the front of the chest, like he did with the bull’s blood.
“Era anattanga embuzi ey’ekiweebwayo ky’abantu olw’ekibi, n’atwala omusaayi gwayo munda w’eggigi n’agukola nga bwe yakola omusaayi gw’ennyana ennume; anaagumansiranga ku ntebe ey’okusaasira ne mu maaso gaayo.
16 By doing that, he will purify the Very Holy Place. And he must sprinkle more of the blood on the Sacred Tent, because the tent is in the midst of the camp of the Israeli people who have become unacceptable to me [because of their sins].
Mu ngeri eyo anaatangiririranga Ekifo eky’Awatukuvu Ennyo olw’obutali bulongoofu n’obujeemu eby’abaana ba Isirayiri, n’olw’ebyonoono byabwe ebirala byonna nga bwe byali. Era anaakolanga bw’atyo ne ku Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu eri mu bo wakati mu butali bulongoofu bwabwe.
17 When Aaron goes into the Very Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to purify it, no one else is permitted to enter [the other part of] the Sacred Tent. Only after Aaron has performed rituals to enable me to forgive him and his family, and all the Israeli people, is any priest permitted to enter the Sacred Tent.
Mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu temuubengamu muntu n’omu Alooni bw’anaayingirangamu okutangiririra Ekifo eky’Awatukuvu Ennyo, okutuusa lw’anaafulumanga ng’amaze okwetangiririra awamu n’ab’omu maka ge, n’ekibiina kyonna ekya Isirayiri.
18 “Then Aaron must go outside the tent to purify my altar. He must do this by smearing some of the blood from the bull and some of the blood from the goat on each of the projections at the corners of the altar.
Era anaafulumanga n’ajja ku kyoto ekiri awali Mukama n’akitangiririra. Anaddiranga ku musaayi gw’ennyana eya seddume ne ku musaayi gw’embuzi n’agusiiga ku mayembe gonna ag’ekyoto.
19 Then Aaron must dip his finger into the [basin of] blood and sprinkle some of the blood over the altar seven times. By doing that, he will cleanse it from being unholy [because of the sins] of the Israeli people, and it will become holy again.
Ku musaayi ogwo anaamansirangako ku kyoto n’olunwe lwe emirundi musanvu okukifuula ekirongoofu n’okukitukuza okukiggya mu butali bulongoofu obw’abaana ba Isirayiri.
20 “When Aaron has finished purifying the Very Holy Place [inside the Sacred Tent] and all of the Sacred Tent and the altar, he must bring the goat that was chosen to be set free.
“Awo Alooni bw’anaamalanga okutangiririra Ekifo eky’Awatukuvu Ennyo, n’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’ekyoto, anaaleetanga embuzi ennamu.
21 He must put both of his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins [DOU] of the Israeli people. By doing that, he will put [the guilt of] their sins on the head of the goat. Then he must give the goat to a man who is chosen, and that man will send the goat out into the desert.
Anaateekanga emikono gye gyombi ku mutwe gw’embuzi eyo ennamu n’agikwatako, n’agyenenyerezaako ebyonoono by’abaana ba Isirayiri, n’obujeemu bwabwe, n’ebibi byabwe byonna, ng’abitadde ku mutwe gw’embuzi eyo. Embuzi anaagisindikanga mu ddungu ng’etwalibwa omusajja anaalondebwanga okukola omulimu ogwo.
22 [It is as though] the goat will carry away into the desert [the guilt for] the sins of all the people.
Embuzi eyo eneetikkanga ebyonoono by’abaana ba Isirayiri byonna n’ebitwala mu kifo eteri bantu, eyo omusajja oyo gy’anaagiteeranga n’eraga mu ddungu.
23 “When Aaron approaches the Sacred Tent, he must take off the linen clothes that he wore when he [previously] entered the Very Holy Place, and he must leave those clothes there.
“Alooni anaayingiranga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne yeeyambulamu ebyambalo ebya bafuta bye yayambadde nga tannayingira mu Kifo eky’Awatukuvu Ennyo, era naabirekanga awo.
24 Then he must bathe in a sacred place, put on his regular/ordinary clothes, and sacrifice the animals that will be burned completely on the altar for his own sins and for the sins of the Israeli people. By doing that he will enable me to forgive him and them.
Anaanaabiranga omubiri gwe mu mazzi nga gali mu kifo ekitukuvu, n’alyoka ayambala ebyambalo bye ebya bulijjo. Anaafulumanga n’awaayo ekiweebwayo kye ekyokebwa ku lulwe, n’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa olw’abantu bonna, alyoke yeetangiririre era n’abantu abatangiririre.
25 He must also burn on the altar all the fat of the bull and the goat that were sacrificed.
Era n’amasavu ag’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi anaagookeranga ku kyoto.
26 “The man who was chosen to send the other goat into the desert and free it there must afterwards wash his clothes and bathe. Then he may return to the camp.
“Omusajja anaatanga embuzi esibiddwako omusango, eraze mu Azazeri mu ddungu, kinaamugwaniranga okwoza engoye ze n’okunaaba omubiri gwe n’amazzi; oluvannyuma anaakomangawo mu lusiisira.
27 The carcasses of the bull and the goat that were slaughtered to be an offering/sacrifice for the people’s sins, whose blood was taken inside the Very Holy Place to enable Yahweh to forgive the Israeli people, must be carried outside the camp and burned. The hides/skins of the animals, the inner organs, and the dung must also be burned.
Ennyana ennume n’embuzi ennume ez’okuwaayo olw’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, era omwava omusaayi ogwaleetebwa mu Kifo eky’Awatukuvu Ennyo olw’okutangiririra, ziteekwa okufulumizibwa ebweru w’olusiisira, amaliba gaazo n’ennyama yaazo eriibwa n’eyo eteriibwa, zonna binaayokebwanga.
28 The man who burns those things must then wash his clothes and bathe before he returns to the camp.
Oyo anaazokyanga anaateekwanga okwoza engoye ze, n’okunaaba omubiri gwe mu mazzi; oluvannyuma anaakomangawo mu lusiisira.
29 “On (October/the month after the dry season ends), on the day that I have appointed, you all must (fast/abstain from eating food) and not do any work. This is a rule/law that will never end. It must be obeyed by you people who have been Israelis all your lives, and also by foreigners who are living among you.
“Etteeka lino munaalikwatanga emirembe gyonna: Ku lunaku olw’ekkumi mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu muneelesanga eby’amasanyu byonna n’emirimu gyammwe gyonna, temuukolerengako mulimu gwonna mmwe bannannyini nsi era n’abagwira ababeera mu mmwe,
30 On that day, Aaron will perform rituals to enable me to forgive you all, and then I will cleanse/free you all from [the guilt of] all your sins and you will become acceptable to me.
kubanga ku lunaku olwo mulitangiririrwa ne mufuulibwa abalongoofu. Bwe mutyo munaabeeranga muvudde mu byonoono byammwe ne mufuulibwa balongoofu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.
31 That will be a day for you to rest and not do any work, like the Sabbath days, and you must (fast/abstain from eating food) all that day. That is a permanent command/law for you all to obey.
Lunaabanga ssabbiiti nga lwa kuwummula; era kibasaanira okwefiisanga bye mwandiyagadde; etteeka eryo linaabanga lya mirembe gyonna.
32 In future years, [after Aaron has died], this ritual/ceremony to enable me to forgive you all [DOU] will be performed by the Supreme Priest who is anointed [with olive oil] and appointed to serve instead of his ancestor Aaron. He must put on the sacred clothes made of linen
Kabona eyafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni era ng’ayawulibbwa n’asikira kitaawe, y’anaatangiririranga. Anaayambalanga ebyambalo ebya linena ebitukuvu,
33 and offer sacrifices to purify the Very Holy Place, all of the Sacred Tent, the altar, the priests, and all the Israel people [like Aaron did].
n’atangiririra Ekifo Awatukuvu Ennyo, n’atangiririra n’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’atangiririra n’ekyoto, ne bakabona awamu n’abantu bonna mu kibiina kyonna.
34 This will be a permanent command/law for you to obey once every year, to enable me to forgive you Israeli people for the sins that you have committed.” Moses/I obeyed all those instructions/commands that Yahweh had given to him/me.
“Etteeka eryo linaababeereranga lya mirembe gyonna, ng’okutangiririra okwo kukolebwa omulundi gumu buli mwaka olw’ebyonoono byonna eby’abaana ba Isirayiri.” Awo byonna ne bikolebwa nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
