Deuteronomy 6
1 'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,
“Kale nno, bino bye biragiro, n’amateeka, Mukama Katonda wammwe bye yandagira okubayigiriza, mubikwatenga era mubigonderenga, nga mumaze okusomoka omugga Yoludaani nga muyingidde mu nsi ejja okubeera obutaka bwammwe obw’enkalakkalira.
2 so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.
Bw’otyo ggwe n’abaana bo, n’abaana b’abaana bo oluvannyuma lwabwe, olyoke otyenga Mukama Katonda wo ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo, ng’ogondera amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkuwa leero; olyoke owangaalenga.
3 'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
Noolwekyo, wulira, Ayi Isirayiri, ogonderenga ebiragiro ebyo n’obwegendereza, ebintu byonna bikugenderenga bulungi, mulyoke muzaale mwalenga nnyo, mu nsi ekulukuta n’amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, nga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabo bwe yakusuubiza.
4 'Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;
“Wulira, Ayi Isirayiri: Mukama Katonda waffe ali omu.
5 and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,
Oyagalanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’omwoyo gwo gwonna, n’amaanyi go gonna.
6 and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
Amateeka gano ge nkuwa leero ogakwatanga ku mutima gwo.
7 and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
Ogayigirizanga abaana bo n’obwegendereza. Ogoogerengako bw’onoobanga otudde mu maka go, ne bw’onoobanga otambula mu kkubo, bw’onoobanga ogalamiddeko, ne bw’onoobanga ogolokose.
8 and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
Onoogasibanga ku mikono gyo, nga bwe bubonero obw’okukujjukizanga, era ogatekanga ne ku kyenyi kyo.
9 and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Onoogawandiikanga ku myango gy’ennyumba yo, era ne ku nzigi zo.
10 'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,
“Mukama Katonda wammwe bw’alimala okukutuusa mu nsi gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo: Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo okugibawa, nga mulimu ebibuga ebinene ebikulaakulana, by’otaazimba,
11 and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;
n’amayumba agajjudde buli kintu kyonna ekirungi, ky’otaateekamu, n’enzizi z’otaasima, n’ennimiro z’emizabbibu n’emizeeyituuni z’otaasimba; kale, bw’onoomalanga okulya n’okkuta,
12 'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
weekuumenga olemenga okwerabira Mukama eyakuggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri eyali ey’obuddu.
13 Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;
“Otyanga Mukama Katonda wo. Ye gw’obanga oweereza yekka, era mu linnya lye lyokka mw’obanga olayiriranga.
14 ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;
Temuweerezanga bakatonda balala, bakatonda b’amawanga aganaabanga gabeetoolodde;
15 for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.
kubanga Mukama Katonda wo, ali wakati mu mmwe, Katonda wa buggya; obusungu bwe bugenda kukubuubuukirangako, akuzikirize, akumalewo ku nsi.
16 'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;
Temugezesanga Mukama Katonda wammwe, nga bwe mwakola nga muli e Masa.
17 ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,
Munyiikirenga okukuumanga n’okugonderanga amateeka n’ebiragiro Mukama Katonda wammwe by’akuwadde.
18 and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,
Okolanga ebyo Mukama by’akkiriza ebituufu era ebirungi; olwo olyoke obe bulungi ng’oyingidde mu nsi eyo ennungi Mukama gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo okugibawa,
19 to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.
ng’agobyemu abalabe bo bonna, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yasuubiza.
20 'When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
“Mu biseera ebirijja, omwana wo bw’akubuuzanga nti, Ebyo byonna ebinnyonnyola buli kalonda, n’amateeka, n’ebiragiro Mukama Katonda waffe bye yabalagira, bitegeeza ki?
21 then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;
Omuddangamu nti, ‘Twali baddu ba Falaawo mu nsi ey’e Misiri, naye Mukama Katonda n’atuggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi.
22 and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Mukama Katonda n’alaga obubonero obw’ekitalo, n’akola ebyamagero ebinene era ebitatendeka ku Misiri ne ku Falaawo n’ab’omu maka ge bonna, nga naffe tulaba.
23 and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
N’atuggyayo n’atuyingiza muno alyoke atuwe ensi eno gye yalayirira bajjajjaffe okugibawa.
24 And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;
Mukama n’atulagira okukwatanga amateeka gano gonna n’okugagonderanga, n’okutyanga Mukama Katonda waffe ennaku zonna, alyoke atukuumenga nga tuli mu mbeera ennungi, era nga tuli balamu, nga bwe tuli leero.
25 and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
Era singa tuneegenderezanga ne tukwata amateeka gano gonna ne tugagonderanga, mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda waffe, nga bwe yatulagira, tunaabanga tutuukirizza ebyo by’ayagala.’”
