Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Tega okutu ggwe eggulu, nange nnaayogera, wulira ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
Okuyigiriza kwange ka kutonnye ng’enkuba, n’ebigambo byange bigwe ng’omusulo, bigwe ng’obufuuyirize ku muddo, ng’oluwandagirize ku bisimbe ebito.
3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness to our God.
Kubanga ndirangirira erinnya lya Mukama; mutendereze ekitiibwa kya Katonda waffe!
4 [He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity: just and right [is] he.
Lwe lwazi, emirimu gye mituukirivu, n’ebikolwa bye byonna bya bwenkanya. Ye Katonda omwesigwa, ataliiko bukuusa, omwenkanya era omutereevu mu byonna.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked generation.
Beeyisizza ng’abagwenyufu gy’ali, baswavu era tebakyali baana be, wabula omulembe omukyamu era ogw’amawaggali.
6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? [is] not he thy father [that] hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
Bwe mutyo bwe musasula Mukama Katonda, mmwe abantu abasirusiru era abatalina magezi? Si ye kitaawo eyakutonda, n’akussaawo n’akunyweza?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
Jjukira ebiseera eby’edda, fumiitiriza ku myaka egyayita edda. Buuza kitaawo ajja kukubuulira ne bakadde bo abakulembeze bajja kukutegeeza.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
Ali Waggulu Ennyo bwe yagabanyiza amawanga ensi zaago abantu bonna bwe yabayawulayawulamu, yategeka ensalo z’amawanga ng’omuwendo gw’abaana ba Isirayiri bwe gwali.
9 For the LORD'S portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the lot of his inheritance.
Omugabo gwa Mukama Katonda be bantu be, Yakobo bwe busika bwe bwe yagabana.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
Yamuyisanga mu ddungu, mu nsi enkalu eya kikuŋŋunta. Yamuzibiranga, n’amulabiriranga, n’amukuumanga ng’emmunye ey’eriiso lye.
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings;
Ng’empungu bw’enyegenya ku kisu kyayo, n’epaapaalira waggulu w’obwana bwayo, era nga bw’eyanjuluza ebiwaawaatiro byayo, n’ebusitula, n’ebutumbiiza ku biwaawaatiro byayo,
12 [So] the LORD alone did lead him, and [there was] no strange God with him.
Mukama Katonda yekka ye yamukulemberanga; so tewabangawo katonda mulala.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
Yamuteeka ku ntikko z’ensozi ez’ensi eyo, n’amuliisanga ku bibala by’omu nnimiro. Yamukulizanga ku mubisi gw’enjuki ogw’omu njatika z’enjazi n’amafuta agaavanga mu mayinja amagumu
14 Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
ne bbongo eyavanga mu biraalo, n’amata okuva mu bisibo, n’amasavu ag’endiga ento n’ennume, n’embuzi ennume n’enduusi ez’e Basani, awamu n’eŋŋaano esinga obulungi, wanywanga wayini ow’ejjovu eyavanga mu mizabbibu.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou hast waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he forsook God [who] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
Yesuluuni yakkuta n’agejja n’asambagala; ng’ojjudde emmere nga weezitoowerera n’oggwaamu amaanyi. Yava ku Katonda eyamukola, n’alekulira Olwazi olw’Obulokozi bwe.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with abominations they provoked him to anger.
Baamukwasa obuggya olwa bakatonda abalala ne bamusunguwaza ne bakatonda abalala.
17 They sacrificed to devils, not to God; to gods which they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
Baawaayo ssaddaaka eri baddayimooni, so si eri Katonda, eri bakatonda be batamanyangako, bakatonda abaggya abaali baakatuuka bakatonda abo bajjajjammwe be bataatyanga.
18 Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
Weerabira Olwazi eyakuzaala, weerabira Katonda eyakuzaala.
19 And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them], because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
Mukama Katonda bwe yakiraba n’abeegobako kubanga yasunguwazibwa batabani be ne bawala be.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end [will be]: for they [are] a very froward generation, children in whom [is] no faith.
N’agamba nti, Nzija kubakweka amaaso gange ndabe ebinaabatuukako; kubanga omulembe gwabwe mwonoonefu, abaana abatalinaamu bwesigwa.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with [that which is] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with [those who are] not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
Bankwasa obuggya ne bakatonda abalala, ne banyiiza n’ebifaananyi byabwe omutali nsa. Ndibakwasa obuggya olw’abo abatali ggwanga, ndibakwasa obusungu olw’eggwanga eritategeera.
22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn to the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Kubanga obusungu bwange bukumye omuliro, ne gwaka okutuukira ddala wansi mu magombe, gusenkenya ensi n’ebibala byayo, ne gwokya amasozi okutandikira ku bikolo byago. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend my arrows upon them.
Nzija kubatuumangako emitawaana ne mbayiwangako obusaale bwange.
24 [They shall be] burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
Nnaabasindikiranga enjala namuzisa, n’obulwadde obwokya, ne kawumpuli omuzikiriza; ndibaweereza ebisolo eby’amannyo amasongovu n’ebyewalula mu nfuufu eby’obusagwa.
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling [also] with the man of gray hairs.
Ekitala kinaabamalangako abaana baabwe ne mu maka gaabwe eneebanga ntiisa njereere. Abavubuka abalenzi n’abawala balizikirira abaana abawere n’abasajja ab’envi bonna batyo.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;
Nalowoozaako ku ky’okubasaasaanya wabulewo akyabajjukiranga ku nsi.
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they should say, Our hand [is] high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
Naye ne saagala abalabe baabwe kubasosonkereza, kubanga abaabalumbagana bandiremeddwa okukitegeera, ne beewaana nti, “Ffe tuwangudde, Mukama ebyo byonna si ye yabikoze.”
28 For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is there any] understanding in them.
Lye ggwanga omutali magezi, mu bo temuliimu kutegeera.
29 O that they were wise, [that] they understood this, [that] they would consider their latter end!
Singa baali bagezi ekyo bandikitegedde, ne balowooza ku biribatuukako ku nkomerero.
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
Omusajja omu yandisobodde atya okugoba abantu olukumi, oba ababiri okudumya omutwalo ne badduka, wabula nga Lwazi waabwe y’abatunzeeyo, Mukama Katonda ng’abawaddeyo?
31 For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves [being] judges:
Kya mazima lwazi waabwe tali nga Lwazi waffe, abalabe baffe bakiriziganya naffe.
32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are] bitter:
Wayini waabwe ava mu terekero lya wayini wa Sodomu, n’ennimiro z’emizabbibu za Ggomola; ezzabbibu zaabwe zabbibu za butwa, ebirimba byazo bikaawa;
33 Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
wayini waazo bwe butwa bw’emisota obusagwa obukambwe obw’amasalambwa.
34 [Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed up among my treasures?
Ekyo saakyeterekera, nga kuliko n’envumbo mu mawanika gange?
35 To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Okuwoolera eggwanga kwange, nze ndisasula. Luliba lumu ebigere byabwe ne biseerera, obudde bwabwe obw’okuzikirira busembedde, n’okubonerezebwa kwabwe kubafubutukirako.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent for his servants: when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none shut up, or left.
Mukama Katonda alisalira abantu omusango mu bwenkanya, alisaasira abaweereza be, bw’aliraba ng’amaanyi gonna gabaweddemu, omuddu n’ow’eddembe nga tewasigadde n’omu.
37 And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock in whom they trusted,
N’alyoka abuuza nti, Kale nno bakatonda baabwe bali ludda wa, olwazi mwe beekweka.
38 Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be your protection.
Baani abaalyanga amasavu ku ssaddaaka zaabwe, ne banywa envinnyo ey’ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa? Basituke bajje babayambe, kale babawe obubudamo babakuume!
39 See now that I, [even] I [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.
Mulabe kaakano, nga nze kennyini, nze Ye! Tewali katonda mulala wabula Nze; nzita era ne nzuukiza, nfumita era ne mponya; era tewali atangira mukono gwange nga gukola.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
Ngolola omukono gwange eri eggulu ne nangirira nti, ddala ddala nga bwe ndi omulamu emirembe gyonna
41 If I shall whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
bwe mpagala ekitala kyange ekimasamasa, n’omukono gwange ne gukikwata nga nsala emisango, nnaawalananga abalabe bange, ne neesasuzanga eri abanaankyawanga.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; [and that] with the blood of the slain and of the captives from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
Obusaale bwange ndibutamiiza omusaayi, n’ekitala kyange kirirya ennyama, n’omusaayi gw’abattiddwa n’abawambiddwa, n’ogw’emitwe egy’abakulembeze b’abalabe.
43 Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful to his land, [and] to his people.
Mujaguze mmwe amawanga awamu n’abantu be, kubanga aliwalanira omusaayi gw’abaweereza be, aliwalana abalabe be, era alitangirira olw’ensi ye n’abantu be.
44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.
Awo Musa n’ajja awamu ne Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, n’addamu ebigambo byonna eby’oluyimba olwo ng’abantu bonna bawulira.
45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel;
Musa bwe yamala okuddamu ebigambo ebyo byonna eri abaana ba Isirayiri,
46 And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
n’abagamba nti, “Mukwate ku mutima gwammwe ebigambo byonna bye mbategeezezza leero n’obuwombeefu obungi, mulyoke mulagire abaana bammwe bagonderenga n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna eby’amateeka gano.
47 For it [is] not a vain thing for you: because it [is] your life; and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
Ebigambo ebyo si bya kusaagasaaga, wabula bye bigambo ebikwatira ddala ku bulamu bwammwe bwennyini. Okusinziira ku bigambo bino, mugenda kuwangaala nga muli mu nsi gye mugenda okusomokera omugga Yoludaani okugifuna.”
48 And the LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa bw’ati nti,
49 Ascend this mountain Abarim, [to] mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan which I give to the children of Israel for a Possession:
“Yambuka olinnyerinnye ku Lusozi Nebo oluli mu nsozi za Abalimu mu nsi ya Mowaabu, osusse amaaso Yeriko olengere ensi ya Kanani gy’empa abaana ba Isirayiri okuba obutaka bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira.
50 And die in the mount whither thou goest, and be gathered to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
Ku lusozi olwo lw’ojja okulinnya kw’olifiira okuŋŋaanyizibwe eri abantu bo, nga muganda wo Alooni bwe yafiira ku lusozi Koola, n’akuŋŋaanyizibwa eri abantu be.
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
Kubanga mwembi mwanziggyamu obwesige mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri ku mazzi g’e Meriba-Kadesi mu ddungu ly’e Zini, olw’okulemwa okussa ekitiibwa ekituukiridde mu butukuvu bwange mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri.
52 Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee], but thou shalt not go thither to the land which I give the children of Israel.
Noolwekyo ensi ojja kugirengera bulengezi, so toligiyingiramu, ensi gye mpa abaana ba Isirayiri.”
