Deuteronomy 25
1 'When there is a strife between men, and they have come nigh unto the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrong-doer,
Abantu babiri bwe banaabanga n’enkaayana, ensonga zaabwe ne bazitwala mu mbuga z’amateeka, abalamuzi ne babasalirawo, banaalangiriranga asinze n’oyo gwe gusinze.
2 then it hath come to pass, if the wrong-doer is to be smitten, that the judge hath caused him to fall down, and [one] hath smitten him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrong-doing, by number;
Singa oyo gwe gunaasiŋŋanga anaabanga asaanira okukubwangamu obuga, omulamuzi anaamugalamizanga wansi n’akubirwa mu maaso ge omuwendo gw’obuga obuggya mu musango gw’anaabanga azzizza,
3 forty [times] he doth smite him — he is not adding, lest, he is adding to smite him above these — many stripes, and thy brother is lightly esteemed in thine eyes.
naye nga tebusukka buga amakumi ana. Bwe bunaasukkanga omuwendo ogwo munnammwe anaabanga aswazibbwa nnyo mu maaso gammwe.
4 'Thou dost not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
Ente temugisibanga mimwa bwe munaabanga mugikozesa okuwuula emmere ey’empeke.
5 'When brethren dwell together, and one of them hath died, and hath no son, the wife of the dead is not without to a strange man; her husband's brother doth go in unto her, and hath taken her to him for a wife, and doth perform the duty of her husband's brother;
Abooluganda bwe banaabanga babeera wamu, omu n’afa nga talina mwana wabulenzi, nnamwandu we tafumbirwanga musajja atali wa mu luggya lwa bba. Muganda wa bba anaatwalanga nnamwandu oyo n’amuwasa, n’atuukiriza obuvunaanyizibwa bwa muganda we omugenzi eri nnamwandu oyo.
6 and it hath been, the first-born which she beareth doth rise for the name of his dead brother, and his name is not wiped away out of Israel.
Omwana owoobulenzi gw’anaasookanga okuzaala y’anaasikiranga erinnya lya muganda we omugenzi, bwe lityo erinnya ly’omugenzi ne litasangulwawo mu Isirayiri.
7 'And if the man doth not delight to take his brother's wife, then hath his brother's wife gone up to the gate, unto the elders, and said, My husband's brother is refusing to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he hath not been willing to perform the duty of my husband's brother;
Naye omusajja bw’anaabanga tayagala kuwasa nnamwandu wa muganda we, nnamwandu oyo anaagendanga eri abakulembeze abakulu ab’omu kibuga kye, ku wankaaki, n’abagamba nti, “Muganda wa baze agaanye okuwangaaza erinnya lya muganda we mu Isirayiri. Kubanga agaanye okutuukiriza gye ndi obuvunaanyizibwa bw’alina ku muganda we.”
8 and the elders of his city have called for him, and spoken unto him, and he hath stood and said, I have no desire to take her;
Abakulembeze abakulu b’omu kibuga banaayitanga omusajja oyo ne boogera naye. Bw’anaakakanyalanga n’agamba nti, “Saagala kumuwasa,”
9 'Then hath his brother's wife drawn nigh unto him, before the eyes of the elders, and drawn his shoe from off his foot, and spat in his face, and answered and said, Thus it is done to the man who doth not build up the house of his brother;
kale, nnamwandu wa muganda we anaatambulanga n’alaga awali omusajja oyo mu maaso g’abakulembeze abakulu b’omu kibuga, anaamwambulangamu engatto mu kigere kye ekimu, era anaamuwandiranga amalusu mu maaso n’ayogera nti, “Bwe kityo bwe kinaakolebwanga ku musajja atazimba lunyiriri lwa luggya lwa muganda we.”
10 and his name hath been called in Israel — The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.
Oluggya lw’omusajja oyo lunaamanyibwanga mu Isirayiri ng’Oluggya lw’Omwambule Engatto.
11 'When men strive together, one with another, and the wife of the one hath drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his smiter, and hath put forth her hand, and laid hold on his secrets,
Bwe wanaabangawo abasajja babiri abalwana, mukazi w’omu bw’anajjanga okutaasa bba ku mulabe we n’amukwata ebitundu bye eby’ekyama,
12 then thou hast cut off her hand, thine eye doth not spare.
omutemangako omukono gwe. Tomusaasiranga.
13 'Thou hast not in thy bag a stone and a stone, a great and a small.
Tossanga mu nsawo zo mayinja gapima ga ngeri bbiri ez’enjawulo, ng’erimu lizitowa, kyokka nga linnaalyo liwewuka.
14 Thou hast not in thy house an ephah and an ephah, a great and a small.
Tobeeranga na bipima bya ngeri bbiri eby’enjawulo, ng’ekimu kinene, kyokka nga kinnaakyo kitono.
15 Thou hast a stone complete and just, thou hast an ephah complete and just, so that they prolong thy days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;
Kikugwanira obeerenga n’amayinja agapima obuzito obutuufu, era n’ebipima ebirala eby’amazima era ebituufu, olyoke owangaalenga ng’oli mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa.
16 for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these things, any one doing iniquity.
Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo akyayira ddala abo bonna abakola ebyo ebitali bya bwesigwa.
17 'Remember that which Amalek hath done to thee in the way, in your going out from Egypt,
Teweerabiranga Abamaleki bye baakukola bwe wali mu lugendo lwo ng’ova mu Misiri.
18 that he hath met thee in the way, and smiteth in all those feeble behind thee (and thou wearied and fatigued), and is not fearing God.
Bwe wali okooye nnyo nga n’amaanyi gakuweddemu, baakusanga mu lugendo lwo olwo, ne balumba abo bonna abaali basembyeyo emabega wo ne babatta; Katonda nga tebamutya.
19 And it hath been, in Jehovah thy God's giving rest to thee, from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance to possess it — thou dost blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens — thou dost not forget.
Bw’olimala okutuuka mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obusika bwo obw’enkalakkalira, ng’akumazeeko n’abalabe bo bonna ku njuyi zonna, ng’owummudde, ozikiririzanga ddala Abamaleki n’obamalirawo ddala bonna wansi w’eggulu, ne watabaawo baliddayo kubajjukira nti baali babaddewo. Ekyo tokyerabiranga.
