Deuteronomy 7
1 When Yahweh your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you—the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—seven nations greater and mightier than you;
Mukama Katonda wo bw’akutuusanga mu nsi mw’ojja okuyingira, ogyetwalire okuba obutaka bwo, nga n’amawanga mangi amaze okugagobamu, n’amawanga gano omusanvu agakusinga obunene n’amaanyi: Abakiiti, n’Abagirugaasi, n’Abamoli, n’Abakanani, n’Abaperezi, n’Abakiivi, n’Abayebusi,
2 and when Yahweh your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them.
Mukama Katonda wo ng’amaze okugagabula mu mukono gwo, ng’obawangudde, kikugwanira obazikiririze ddala. Tokolanga nabo ndagaano, so tobakwatirwanga kisa.
3 You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.
Tofumbiriganwanga nabo. Towangayo muwala wo kufumbirwanga mutabani we, oba mutabani we okuwasanga muwala wo.
4 For that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So Yahweh’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.
Kubanga bagenda kukyamya mutabani wo alekerengaawo okugoberera Mukama, baweerezenga bakatonda abalala; era obusungu bwa Mukama bunaababuubuukirangako n’akuzikiriza mangu.
5 But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.
Naye bwe muti bwe munaakolanga: Munaamenyanga ebyoto bya bakatonda baabwe, ne mwasaayasa amayinja gaabwe ge bawonga, ne mubetentabetenta empagi zaabwe eza Asera, ne mwokya bakatonda baabwe mu muliro.
6 For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
Kubanga oli ggwanga ttukuvu eri Mukama. Mukama Katonda wo yakulonda okuva mu mawanga gonna agali ku nsi okubeeranga eggwanga lye, lye yeefunira ly’asuuta ennyo.
7 Yahweh didn’t set his love on you nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples;
Mukama okugenda okubalonda n’okubaagala ennyo bw’atyo; si lwa kubanga mwe mwali musinga amawanga amalala gonna obungi; nedda, mwe mwali musinga obutono mu mawanga gonna.
8 but because Yahweh loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Naye lwa kubanga Mukama Katonda yabaagala, n’akuuma endagaano gye yakola ne bajjajjammwe, n’abanunula n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi ng’abaggya mu nsi ey’obuddu, n’abawonya obuyinza bwa Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri.
9 Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness to a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments,
Noolwekyo osaananga okukitegeeranga nga Mukama Katonda wo ye Katonda; Katonda omwesigwa akuuma endagaano ye ey’okwagala okutaggwaawo eri abamwagala era abagondera ebiragiro bye okutuuka ku mirembe olukumi.
10 and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face.
Naye abo abamukyawa alibeesasuza n’okuzikirizibwa; tagenda kulwawo kwesasuza oyo amukyawa.
11 You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which I command you today, to do them.
Noolwekyo weegenderezenga nnyo ogonderenga amateeka n’ebiragiro bye nkugamba olunaku lwa leero.
12 It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers.
Bwe munaakwatanga amateeka ago, ne mugagonderanga n’obwegendereza, ne Mukama Katonda wo agenda kukuumanga endagaano ye, gye yakola ne bajjajjaabo ey’okwagala kwe okutaggwaawo.
13 He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
Agenda kukwagalanga, akuwenga omukisa; era alikwaza ne weeyongera obungi. Aliwa omukisa ezzadde lyo n’ebibala eby’oku ttaka lyo, n’emmere yo ey’empeke, ne wayini wo, n’amafuta go, n’ennyana ez’ente zo, n’abaana ab’endiga zo, ng’oli mu nsi Mukama gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo, okugikuwa.
14 You will be blessed above all peoples. There won’t be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.
Onoofunanga omukisa okusinga amawanga amalala gonna; tewaabengawo musajja oba mukazi mugumba mu mmwe, wadde ente zammwe ezitaazaalenga.
15 Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.
Mukama takkirizenga ndwadde yonna kukukwata. So taakuleeterenga ndwadde ezo ez’akabi, ze wamanyanga, ez’e Misiri, naye anaazireeteranga abo bonna abakukyawa.
16 You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them. You shall not serve their gods; for that would be a snare to you.
Onoozikirizanga abo bonna Mukama Katonda b’anaakuwanguzanga, tobatunuulizanga liiso lya kisa, tobabbiranga ku liiso. So toweerezanga bakatonda baabwe, kubanga ogwo gugendanga kukufuukira mutego.
17 If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?”
Oyinza okwebuuza mu mutima gwo nti, “Amawanga ag’amaanyi gatyo okutusinga, tulisobola tutya okugagoba mu nsi zaago?”
18 you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:
Naye amawanga ago togatyanga; ojjukiranga Mukama Katonda wo kye yakola Falaawo ne Misiri yonna.
19 the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out. So shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
Weerabirako n’amaaso go gennyini ebibonoobono, n’obubonero obw’ebyamagero, n’eby’ekyewuunyo, Mukama bye yakozesa okukuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri n’omukono gwe omuwanvu ogw’amaanyi. Mukama Katonda wo bw’atyo bw’anaakolanga amawanga ago gonna g’otya.
20 Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.
Ate Mukama Katonda wo anaaweerezanga ennumba mu balabe bo ne zibaluma, okutuusa n’abo abanaabanga basigaddewo mu lutalo, nga beekwese, lwe ziribazikiririza ddala.
21 You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and awesome God.
Tobatyanga, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo abeera wakati mu mmwe, mukulu era wa ntiisa.
22 Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
Mukama Katonda wo amawanga ago anaagendanga agaggyawo linnalimu, mpola mpola. Toligazikiriza gonna mulundi gumu, si kulwa ng’ensolo ez’omu nsiko zaala ne zikuyitirira obungi.
23 But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they are destroyed.
Naye Mukama Katonda wo anaagagabulanga mu mukono gwo n’ageeraliikirizanga ng’agatabuddetabudde, okutuusa lwe ganaazikirizibwanga.
24 He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them.
Anaagabulanga bakabaka baago mu mukono gwo n’osangulira ddala amannya gaabwe okuva wansi w’eggulu. Tewaabengawo muntu n’omu anaayimiriranga mu maaso go okukwaŋŋanga, ojjanga kubazikiriza.
25 You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
Ebifaananyi ebyole ebya bakatonda baabwe munaabyokyanga mu muliro. Teweegombanga zaabu na ffeeza anaabibeerangako. So tomwetwaliranga alemenga kukufuukira mutego; kubanga ekikolwa ekyo kya muzizo eri Mukama Katonda wo.
26 You shall not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
Toyingizanga mu nnyumba yo kintu kyonna ekyomuzizo, olemenga kuba mukolimire ng’ekintu ekyo bwe kiri. Onookikyayiranga ddala era onookitamirwanga ddala, kubanga kyakolimirwa.
