Numbers 15
1 Then Yahweh told Moses/me,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,
ayogere n’abaana ba Isirayiri abagambe nti, “Bwe mutuukanga mu nsi gye mbawadde, mwe munaabeeranga, nga ge maka gammwe,
3 you must offer to me special sacrifices which will be pleasing to me [when the priest burns them on the altar]. Some of them may be offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]. Some of them may be to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Some of them may be offerings that you yourselves have decided to make. Some of them may be offerings at one of the festivals that you celebrate each year. These offerings may be taken from your herds [of cattle] or from your flocks [of sheep and goats].
ne muleetera Mukama Katonda ebiweebwayo ebyokye nga mubiggya mu biraalo byammwe oba mu bisibo byammwe, ekiweebwayo ku muliro oba ssaddaaka enjokye, okutuukiriza obweyamo bwammwe oba ebiweebwayo olw’okweyagalira oba ku mbaga zammwe entongole, ne muvaamu akawoowo akasanyusa Mukama;
4 When you give these offerings, you must also bring to me a grain offering of two quarts/liters of nice flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil.
kale nno oyo anaaleetanga ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda anaawangayo ekiweebwayo eky’emmere y’empeke eweza nga kilo emu n’ekitundu ez’obuwunga obulungi, nga mutabuddwamu n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni agaweza nga obutundu mwenda obwa Ini ey’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni.
5 When you offer a lamb to be a sacrifice to be completely burned, you must also pour on the altar one quart/liter of wine.
Ku buli mwana gwa ndiga ogw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa oba ogwa ssaddaaka, munaateekerateekerangako obutundu mwenda obwa Ini ey’envinnyo nga kye kiweebwayo ekyokunywa.
6 ‘When you offer a ram to be a sacrifice, you must also bring an offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of [olive] oil.
“Bwe munaabanga muwaayo endiga ennume munaateekateekanga ekiweebwayo eky’emmere y’empeke eweza nga kilo ssatu n’obutundu bubiri n’ekitundu obwa Ini ez’obuwunga obulungi nga mutabuddwamu n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ag’obutundu mwenda n’obutundu bubiri obwa Ini,
7 And also pour on the altar (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of wine. While they are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
era n’obutundu mwenda n’obutundu bubiri obwa Ini obw’envinnyo nga kye kiweebwayo ekyokunywa, eky’akawoowo akasanyusa Mukama Katonda.
8 ‘Sometimes you will offer a young bull to be completely burned on the altar. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
“Bwe munaabanga muteekateeka ente ennume ento ey’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa oba ssaddaaka, okutuukiriza obweyamo, oba ekiweebwayo olw’emirembe eri Mukama Katonda,
9 When you offer these sacrifices, you must also offer a grain offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with two quarts/liters of [olive] oil.
ku nte eyo ennume munaaleeterangako ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke eweza gulaamu mukaaga n’ekitundu ez’obuwunga obulungi nga mutabuddwamu amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni agaweza kilo emu n’ekitundu.
10 Also pour on the altar two quarts/liters of wine to be an offering. While those special gifts are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
Era munaaleetanga envinnyo eweza lita bbiri nga kye kiweebwayo ekyokunywa. Kinaabanga ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa mu muliro ne kivaamu akawoowo akasanyusa Mukama Katonda.
11 Each time someone offers a bull or a ram or a male lamb or a young goat to be a sacrifice, it must be done that way.
Buli nte ennume oba endiga ennume, na buli mwana gwa ndiga oba embuzi ento, zonna zinaateekebwateekebwanga mu ngeri eyo.
12 You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.
Munaakolanga bwe mutyo ku buli gye munaateekateekanga nga bwe zinenkananga obungi.
13 ‘All of you people who have been Israelis all of your lives must obey these regulations when you offer sacrifices that will be pleasing to me when they are burned on the altar.
“Buli nzaalwa yenna kimusaanira okugobereranga enkola eyo buli lw’anaaleetanga ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ku muliro, ne kivaamu akawoowo akasanyusa Mukama Katonda.
14 If any foreigners visit you or live among you, if they also want to bring a sacrifice that will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar, they must obey these same instructions.
Mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna egirijja, omugwira oba omugenyi yenna anaabeeranga mu mmwe bw’anaaleetanga ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ku muliro ekivaamu akawoowo akasanyusa Mukama Katonda, anaakoleranga ddala nga bwe mukola.
15 I consider that those who have always been Israelis and those who are foreigners are equal, and so they must all obey the same instructions. All of your descendants must also continue to obey these instructions.
Ekibiina kyammwe kyonna kinaabeeranga n’amateeka geegamu, mmwe ge munaakwatanga era n’abagwira abali mu mmwe ge banaakwatanga; eryo linaabanga etteeka ery’enkalakkalira mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna egirijja. Mmwe nga bwe muli n’omugwira bw’atyo bw’anaabanga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.
16 You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”
Amateeka n’ebiragiro bye munaakwatanga n’omugwira anaabeeranga mu mmwe by’anaakwatanga.”
17 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
18 “Tell these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Bwe muyingiranga mu nsi mwe mbatwala,
19 and you eat the crops that are growing there, you must set some of them aside to be a sacred offering to me.
ne mulya ku mmere y’omu nsi omwo, munaaleetangako ekitundu nga kye kiweebwayo eri Mukama.
20 [Each year] set aside some of the first grain that you gather after you have threshed it. Bake a loaf of bread from the first flour that you grind and bring it to me to be a sacred offering.
Munaggyanga ekitole ku mmere gye munaasookanga okusa mu gguuliro ne mukireeta nga kye kiweebwayo ekivudde mu gguuliro.
21 Every year, you and your descendants must continue to make and bring to me [a loaf of bread baked] [MTY] [with flour] from the first part of the grain that you harvest.’”
Ku mmere eyo gye munaasookerangako okusa munaaleetangako ekiweebwayo ekyo eri Mukama Katonda okuyita mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna.’
22 “‘There may be times when you Israelis do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell you, but not because you intended to disobey them.
“Naye nno bwe munaalemwanga okukwata amateeka ago gonna Mukama Katonda g’awadde Musa, nga mukikoze mu butagenderera,
23 There may be times when some of your descendants do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell to you.
amateeka ago gonna Mukama Katonda ge yalagira Musa okugabatuusaako okuva ku lunaku Mukama lwe yagamuweerako n’okweyongerayo okuyita mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna egigenda okujja,
24 If you or they sin [by forgetting to obey these instructions] and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people [must be brought to the priest]. That will be pleasing to me [when it is burned on the altar]. They must also bring to me a grain offering and an offering of wine, and a male goat, to be sacrificed to enable me to forgive them for the sins they have committed.
ne mugasobya mu butagenderera n’ekibiina kyonna mu butamanya, kale nno ekibiina kyonna kinaaleetanga ekiweebwayo eky’ente ya sseddume ento emu nga kye kiweebwayo ekyokebwa, omuva akawoowo akalungi eri Mukama Katonda, nga kuliko n’ekiweebwayo ky’emmere y’empeke n’ekyokunywa ng’etteeka bwe liragira, n’ekiweebwayo eky’embuzi ennume emu olw’ekibi.
25 [By offering these sacrifices], the priest will make atonement for all of you Israeli people. Then, as a result of their bringing to me an offering to be burned [on the altar], (you will be forgiven/I will forgive you), because you sinned without realizing that you were sinning.
Kabona anaatangiririranga ekibiina ky’abaana ba Isirayiri bonna, era bwe batyo banaasonyiyibwanga; kubanga baasobya mu butagenderera, ate banaabanga baleese ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda ekyokebwa ku muliro, era n’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda olw’ekibi olw’ekisobyo kyabwe ekitaali kigenderere.
26 You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.
Ekibiina ky’abaana ba Isirayiri bonna, bwe batyo banaasonyiyibwanga, n’abagwira abanaabeeranga mu bo nabo banaasonyiyibwanga, kubanga abantu bonna banaabanga basoberezza wamu nga tebagenderedde.
27 If one person commits a sin without realizing that he was sinning, that person must bring to me a female goat to be an offering to enable me to forgive that person for the sins that person has committed.
“Naye omuntu bw’anaasobyanga ng’ali bw’omu mu butagenderera, anaaleetanga embuzi enduusi ey’omwaka gumu ogw’obukulu nga kye kiweebwayo olw’ekibi.
28 The priest will offer it to be a sacrifice to remove the guilt of that person, and that person will be forgiven.
Kabona anaatangiririranga, eri Mukama, omuntu oyo asobezza mu butagenderera; bw’anaamalanga okutangiririrwa, anaasonyiyibwanga.
29 You Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.
Munaabeeranga n’etteeka lye limu erinaakozesebwanga ku muntu yenna anaasobyanga nga tagenderedde, bw’anaabanga enzaalwa oba ne bw’anaabanga omugwira bulijjo abeera mu mmwe.
30 But those who disobey my commands (deliberately/because they want to), both Israelis and the foreigners who live among you, have sinned against me [by doing that]. So (they must be expelled/you must expel them) from your camp.
“Naye buli muntu anaakolanga ekibi mu bugenderevu, bw’anaabanga enzaalwa ne bw’anaabeeranga omugwira abeera mu mmwe, omuntu oyo anaabanga avvodde Mukama Katonda, noolwekyo anaagobwanga mu bantu be, ne bamwesalirako ddala.
31 They have despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you any more.’”
Olwokubanga anaabanga anyoomye ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda, n’amenya etteeka lye, omuntu oyo anaagoberwanga ddala okuva mu bantu be, ne bamwesalirako ddala, era ekibi kye ekyo kinaasigalanga ku mutwe gwe.”
32 One day, while the Israelis were in the desert, some of them saw a man who was gathering firewood on the Sabbath/rest day.
Abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baali nga bakyali mu ddungu, ne basisinkana omusajja omu ku b’omu kibiina ky’Abayisirayiri eyali atyaba enku ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti.
33 Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.
Abo abaamusanga ng’atyaba enku ne bamuleeta eri Musa ne Alooni n’ekibiina kyonna,
34 They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] him.
ne bamuggalira mu kkomera, kubanga baali tebamanyi bulungi kya kumukolera.
35 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must [kill him by throwing] stones at him outside the camp.”
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Omusajja oyo ateekwa kuttibwa. Ekibiina kyonna kimukubire amayinja ebweru w’olusiisira.”
36 So they all took the man outside the camp and killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.
Ekibiina kyonna ne kimufulumya wabweru w’olusiisira ne kimukuba amayinja n’afa, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
37 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
38 “Tell this to the Israeli people: You and all your descendants must [twist threads together to] make tassels, and then attach them with blue cords to the bottom edges of your clothes.
“Yogera eri abaana ba Isirayiri obalagire beekolere amatanvuuwa bagatungenga ku nkugiro z’ebyambalo byabwe mu mirembe gyabwe gyonna, era ku buli ttanvuuwa batungengako akaguwa aka bbululu.
39 When you look at the tassels, you will remember all the instructions that I gave to you, and you will obey them, instead of doing what you desire and as a result causing yourselves to become unacceptable to me.
Amatanvuuwa ago munaagatunulangako, ekyo ne kibajjukiza amateeka ga Mukama Katonda gonna ge musaanira okugonderanga, mulyoke mugagobererenga mulemenga okweyonoonyesa nga mukola ebyo ebitaliimu nsa byokka nga bye bisanyusa amaaso gammwe n’emitima gyammwe.
40 Seeing those tassels will help you to remember that you must obey all my commands and that you must be (my holy people/dedicated to me).
Bwe mutyo munajjukiranga amateeka gange ne mubeera batukuvu eri Katonda wammwe.
41 Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you might belong to me. I am Yahweh, your God.”
Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe, eyabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, okubeeranga Katonda wammwe; Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.”
