< Leviticus 20 >

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 “Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person with stones.
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri bw’oti nti, Omuyisirayiri yenna, oba omunnaggwanga atuula mu Isirayiri, bw’anaawangayo omwana we ng’ekiweebwayo eri Moleki, kitaawe w’omwana oyo ajjanga kuttibwa. Abantu ab’omu kitundu ekyo mw’abeera banaamukubanga amayinja.
3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from amongst his people, because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Nange kennyini, omuntu oyo nnaamunyiigiranga, era nnaamugobanga ne mmugaana okukolagananga ne banne, kubanga awaddeyo omu ku baana be ng’ekiweebwayo eri Moleki, n’ayonoona Awatukuvu wange era n’avumisa erinnya lyange ettukuvu.
4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t put him to death,
Era abantu ab’omu kitundu ekyo mw’abeera, bwe banaamuzibiranga ku liiso, omuntu oyo awaddeyo omwana we eri Moleki, ne batamutta,
5 then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him to play the prostitute with Molech, from amongst their people.
omuntu oyo nnaamunyiigiranga, ne ku b’omu nnyumba ye, ne mbagoba ne mbagaana okukolagananga ne bannaabwe, ye ne banne abakolaganye naye mu kukuba obwamalaaya ne Moleki.
6 “‘The person that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from amongst his people.
“‘Omuntu bw’anaakolagananga n’abasamize, n’abalogo, n’akuba nabo obwamalaaya, nnaamunyiigiranga, era nnaamugobanga ne mugaana okukolagana ne banne.
7 “‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God.
“‘Noolwekyo mwetukuze mubeerenga batukuvu, kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
Mukwatenga amateeka gange, mugagobererenga. Nze Mukama abatukuza.
9 “‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.
“‘Omuntu yenna anaakolimiranga kitaawe oba nnyina wa kuttibwanga. Noolwekyo akolimidde kitaawe oba nnyina, omusaayi gwe gunaabanga ku mutwe gwe.
10 “‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
“‘Omusajja bwanaayendanga ku muka omusajja, bombi, omusajja ayenze n’omukazi gw’ayenzeeko banattibwanga.
11 “‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka kitaawe, anaabanga aweebudde kitaawe. Bombi omusajja n’omukazi banattibwanga; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
12 “‘If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka mutabani we, bombi banattibwanga. Kubanga bombi banaabanga bakoze ebyambyone; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
13 “‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne musajja munne nga bwe yandyebase n’omukazi, bombi banaabanga bakoze eky’ekivve; era banattibwanga, n’omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
14 “‘If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burnt with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness amongst you.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga omukazi ate n’atwalirako ne nnyina, ekyo kya kivve. Ye n’abakazi bombi banaayokebwanga mu muliro, bwe mutyo ekyonoono ekyo ne mukyegobako.
15 “‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaakolanga eby’ensonyi ku nsolo, anattibwanga, era n’ensolo munaagittanga.
16 “‘If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Omukazi bw’anaasembereranga ensolo alyoke akole nayo eby’ensonyi, mumuttanga n’ensolo ne mugitta. Omukazi anattibwanga n’ensolo nettibwa; omusaayi gw’omukazi gunaabanga ku mutwe gwe, n’ogw’ensolo gunaabanga ku mutwe gwayo.
17 “‘If a man takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter—and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga mwannyina, oba nga mwanamuwala wa kitaawe, oba nga mwanamuwala wa nnyina, ne beebaka bombi, kinaabanga kya buwemu. Bombi banaagobwanga mu bannaabwe ne babagaana okukolagananga nabo. Kubanga omusajja oyo anaabanga aweebudde mwannyina, era y’aneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna olw’ekibi ekyo.
18 “‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from amongst their people.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga n’omukazi mu biseera by’omukazi, ebya buli mwezi ng’empisa y’abakazi bw’eba, anaabanga abikudde ensulo y’omusaayi gw’omukazi oyo, era n’omukazi anaabanga yeebikudde. Bombi banaagobwanga mu bannaabwe ne babagaana okukolagananga nabo.
19 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister, for he has made his close relative naked. They shall bear their iniquity.
“‘Teweebakanga na mukazi muganda wa nnyoko oba ne mwannyina wa kitaawo n’okola naye eby’ensonyi, kubanga ekyo kiweebuula owooluganda ow’okumpi. Mwembi munaavunaanyizibwanga olw’ekyonoono kyammwe ekyo.
20 If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka kitaawe omuto oba ne muka kojjaawe, anaabanga aweebudde bakadde be abo. Omusajja oyo n’omukazi oyo be baneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa obw’ekibi ekyo, era balifa nga tebalina baana.
21 “‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

22 “‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.
“‘Kale nno, mukwatenga amateeka gange gonna n’ebiragiro byange byonna, era mubikolerengako, ensi mwe mbatwala okutuulanga eryoke ereme kubasesema.
23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Era temugobereranga mpisa ez’amawanga ge ŋŋenda ngoba mu nsi eyo; kubanga baakola ebintu ebyo byonna, noolwekyo mbakyawa nnyo.
24 But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
Naye nabategeeza nti, “Mulisikira ensi yaabwe, era ndigibawa ne mugirya, ye nsi omukulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.” Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe eyabaawula ku mawanga amalala.
25 “‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
“‘Noolwekyo mujjanga kwawulamu ensolo ennongoofu n’etali nnongoofu, n’ennyonyi ennongoofu n’etali nnongoofu. Temufuukanga abatali balongoofu olw’ensolo oba ennyonyi, oba ebiramu byonna ebitambula ku ttaka, bye mmaze okwawulako ne mbibategeeza nti si birongoofu.
26 You shall be holy to me, for I, the LORD, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
Kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu gye ndi, kubanga Nze, Mukama, ndi mutukuvu, era mbaawudde ku mawanga amalala mubeerenga ggwanga lyange.
27 “‘A man or a woman that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”
“‘Omusajja oba omukazi mu mmwe anaabeeranga omusamize oba omulogo, wa kuttibwanga. Mubakubanga amayinja; era omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.’”
