Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.
Mugonderanga amateeka gonna ge nkulagira leero, mulyoke mubeerenga balamu era mwale, muyingire ensi Mukama Katonda gye yalayirira bajjajjammwe okugibawa mmwe ng’obutaka bwammwe.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.
Onojjukiranga emyaka gino gyonna amakumi ana Mukama Katonda gy’azze ng’akukulembera okukuyisa mu ddungu alyoke akugezese, akukakkanye obeere muwombeefu omwetoowaze, era yeekkaanye mu mutima gwo alabe obanga onookwatanga amateeka ge.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Era yakukkakkanya n’akulumya enjala, n’akuliisa emmaanu, gye wali tolabangako wadde bakadde bo okugiwulirako, alyoke akuyigirize nti omuntu taba mulamu na mmere yokka, wabula na buli kigambo ekiva mu kamwa ka Mukama Katonda.
4 Thy raiment hath not become old upon thee, neither hath thy foot swelled these forty years.
Mu myaka gino gyonna amakumi ana, engatto zo tezaakukaddiwako n’ebigere byo tebyazimba.
5 Thou shalt also consider in thy heart, that as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
Noolwekyo osaana okitegeere mu mutima gwo nti, Ng’omusajja bw’akangavvula mutabani we, ne Mukama Katonda wo bw’akukangavvula.
6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
“Onookwatanga amateeka ga Mukama Katonda wo ng’otambuliranga mu makubo ge, era ng’omutya, ng’omussaamu ekitiibwa.
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains, and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo akutwala mu nsi ennungi ennyo: ensi erimu emigga, n’ebidiba, n’ensulo ez’amazzi agakulukutira ku nsozi ne mu biwonvu.
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates, a land of olive-oil, and honey;
Ensi omukula eŋŋaano ne sayiri, n’emitiini n’emikomamawanga, ensi ey’emizabbibu n’omubisi gw’enjuki;
9 A land in which thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it, a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
ensi, emmere gy’eteebeerenga ya bbula, nga buli ky’oneetaaganga onookifunanga; ensi, ng’ebyuma ge mayinja gaayo, era gy’onoosimanga ekikomo mu nsozi zaayo.
10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
Awo bw’onoolyanga n’okkuta, weebazenga Mukama Katonda wo olw’okukuwa ensi ennungi bw’etyo.
11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
“Weegenderezenga nnyo olemenga kwerabiranga Mukama Katonda wo, ng’ogaananga okukwatanga amateeka ge, n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkulagira leero.
12 Lest [when] thou hast eaten, and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [in them];
Si kulwa ng’onoolyanga n’okkuta, ne weezimbiranga amayumba amalungi, n’otereera;
13 And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are increased, and all that thou hast is increased;
amagana go n’ebisibo byo nga bigezze, ne zaabu yo ne ffeeza yo nga byaze, nga ne buli kintu ky’onoobanga nakyo nga kyeyongedde okwala,
14 Then thy heart shall be lifted up, and thou shalt forget the LORD thy God (who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; )
kale olwo omutima gwo ne gujjangamu amalala, ne weerabiranga Mukama Katonda wo eyakuggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri mu nnyumba ey’obuddu.
15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [in which were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drouth, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Eyakukulemberanga n’akuyisanga mu ddungu eddene era ezzibu ennyo eritiisa, ekkalu omutali tuzzi, nga libunye emisota emikambwe egy’obusagwa, n’enjaba. Eyakuggyira amazzi mu lwazi.
16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end.
Yakuliisanga emmaanu mu ddungu, emmere bajjajjaabo gye baali batalabangako. Yali ng’akwetoowazisa era nga bw’akugezesa, ku nkomerero biryoke bikugendere bulungi.
17 And thou shalt say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.
Weekuumenga, olemenga okulowoozanga mu mutima gwo nti, ‘Obugagga buno bwonna mbufunye olw’obuyinza bwange n’amaanyi g’emikono gyange.’
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as [it is] this day.
Naye ojjukiranga Mukama Katonda wo, kubanga y’akuwa obuyinza okufuna obugagga, alyoke atuukirize endagaano ye gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo, nga bwe kiri leero.
19 And it shall be, if thou shalt at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
“Bwe kanaakutandanga ne weerabiranga Mukama Katonda wo, n’ogobereranga bakatonda abalala, n’obasinzanga n’obavuunamiranga, mbategeeza mmwe leero nti ddala ddala mugenda kuzikirira.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.
Nga bwe mulaba amawanga Mukama g’azikiriza mu maaso gammwe, nammwe bwe mulizikirira bwe mutyo, bwe mutaligonderanga ddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wammwe.”
