Leviticus 21
1 Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people,
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Yogera ne bakabona, batabani ba Alooni, obagambe nti tewabanga omuntu eyeeretako obutali bulongoofu olw’okukwata ku mufu mu bantu be,
2 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
wabula ng’amulinako oluganda olw’okumpi. Gamba nga nnyina, oba kitaawe, oba mutabani we, oba muwala we, oba muganda we,
3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
oba mwannyina embeerera atamanyi musajja, gw’alinako obuvunaanyizibwa kubanga tabeerangako na bba, kubanga ayinza okwereetako obutali bulongoofu.
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
Kabona nga bw’ali omukulembeze, tekimusaanira kwereetako obutali bulongoofu wakati mu bantu be.
5 “‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
Bakabona tebamwangako nviiri ku mitwe gyabwe, wadde okumwako ebirevu byabwe, oba okusala emisale ku mibiri gyabwe.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
Kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu eri Katonda waabwe balemenga okuleetera erinnya lya Katonda waabwe obutali bulongoofu. Kubanga be batuusa ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa mu muliro eri Mukama, ye mmere ya Katonda waabwe, noolwekyo kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu.
7 “‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
Tebawasanga mukazi malaaya oba atali mulongoofu, oba oyo agobeddwa ewa bba; kubanga bakabona batukuvu eri Katonda waabwe.
8 Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.
Mubayisenga ng’abatukuvu, kubanga be bawaayo emmere eya Katonda wammwe. Mubayisenga ng’abatukuvu; kubanga Nze Mukama atukuza mmwe, ndi mutukuvu.
9 “‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
Era omwana omuwala owa kabona bw’anaakubanga obwamalaaya, bw’atyo ne yeereetako obutali bulongoofu, anaabeeranga aleetedde kitaawe obutali bulongoofu; anaayokebwanga mu muliro.
10 “‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
“Kabona Asinga Obukulu, nga ye mukulembeze mu baganda be, era nga ye yafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ku mutwe gwe, era nga yayawulibwa ayambalenga ebyambalo by’Obwakabona, tasaanira kusumululanga nviiri ze ku mutwe gwe n’azita, wadde okuyuzanga ebyambalo bye.
11 He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.
Tayingiranga mu kifo omuli omulambo, aleme kwereetako obutali bulongoofu. Omulambo ne bwe gunaabanga ogwa kitaawe oba ogwa nnyina.
12 He shall not go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Yahweh.
Era n’ekifo kya Katonda we ekitukuvu taakivengamu oba okukireetako obutali bulongoofu, kubanga yayawulibwa bwe yafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ga Katonda we. Nze Mukama Katonda.
13 “‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
Anaawasanga omukazi mbeerera atamanyanga musajja.
14 He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.
Tawasanga nnamwandu, oba omukazi bba gwe yagoba, oba omukazi eyeereeseeko obutali bulongoofu olw’okukuba obwamalaaya; naye anaawasanga omukazi embeerera ng’amuggya mu bantu be;
15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’”
aleme okuleetera ezzadde lye obutali bulongoofu wakati mu bantu be. Kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda amutukuza.”
16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
17 “Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
“Tegeeza Alooni nti mu zadde lye, okuyita mu mirembe gyonna, bwe munaabangamu omuntu aliko akamogo ku mubiri gwe taasemberenga kuwaayo emmere ya Katonda we.
18 For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
Kubanga tewaabengawo muntu yenna aliko akamogo ku mubiri gwe anaasemberanga. Gamba: omuzibe w’amaaso, oba omulema, oba eyakyama ennyindo, oba eyakulako ekintu ekyasukkirira obuwanvu;
19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
oba omuntu alina ekigere ekyagongobala, oba omukono ogwalemala,
20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
oba ow’ebbango, oba nakalanga, oba atalaba bulungi, oba ng’omubiri gwe gumusiiwa yeetakulatakula, oba ng’alina amabwa agakulukuta, oba nga yayabika enjagi.
21 No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
Tewaabengawo wa mu zadde lya Alooni kabona ng’aliko akamogo anakkirizibwanga okusembera okuleeta ebiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda, ebyokebwa mu muliro. Kubanga aliko akamogo; tekiimusaanirenga kusembera n’okuwaayo ekiweebwayo eri Katonda we.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Anaayinzanga okulya ku mmere entukuvu ennyo eya Katonda we;
23 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”
naye olwokubanga aliko akamogo ku mubiri gwe, taasaanirenga kusemberera ggigi, oba okulaga okumpi n’ekyoto, n’aleetera ebifo byange ebitukuvu obutali bulongoofu. Kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda abitukuza.”
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Bw’atyo Musa n’ategeeza Alooni ne batabani be, awamu n’abaana bonna aba Isirayiri ebigambo ebyo byonna.
