Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 10
1 Mu kiseera ekyo Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tema mu jjinja ebipande bibiri eby’amayinja ebifaanana nga biri ebyasooka, era obajje n’Essanduuko ey’omuti, olyoke oyambuke gye ndi ku lusozi.
At that time, said Yahweh unto me—Cut thee out two tables of stone like the first, and come up unto me into the mountain, —and make thee an ark of wood;
2 Nzija kuwandiika ku bipande ebyo ebigambo ebyali ku bipande ebyasooka, bye wayasa; olyoke obiteeke mu Ssanduuko.”
that I may write, upon the tables, the words which were on the first tables which thou brakest in pieces, —then shalt thou put them in the ark.
3 Bwe ntyo ne mbajja Essanduuko mu muti ogw’akasiya, ne ntema ne mu jjinja ebipande bibiri eby’amayinja nga bifaanana nga biri ebyasooka, ne ndyoka nyambuka ku lusozi nga nkutte ebipande byombi mu ngalo zange.
So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut out two tables of stone like the first, —and went up the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.
4 Mukama Katonda n’awandiika ku bipande ebyo ebigambo bye yali awandiise ku bipande biri ebyasooka, ge Mateeka Ekkumi ge yali abalangiridde ku lusozi ng’ali wakati mu muliro, ku lunaku lwe mwakuŋŋaanirako. Mukama Katonda n’abinkwasa.
And he wrote upon the tables according to the first writing—the ten words, which Yahweh had spoken unto you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation, —and Yahweh delivered them unto me.
5 Bwe ntyo ne nkyusa obuwufu ne nzikirira okuva ku lusozi, ebipande ne mbiteeka mu Ssanduuko gye nabajja, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yandagira, ne kaakano mwe biri.
Then turned I, and came down out of the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, —and they have remained there, as Yahweh commanded me.
6 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne batambula okuva e Beeru Beneyaakani ne batuuka e Mosera. Awo Alooni we yafiira era we yaziikibwa. Mutabani we Eriyazaali n’amusikira n’atandika okukola emirimu gya Alooni egy’Obwakabona.
And, the sons of Israel, set forward out of Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, —there, died Aaron and was buried there, and Eleazar his son became priest in his stead.
7 Bwe baava awo ne batambula okutuuka e Gudugoda; bwe baava e Gudugoda ne batuuka e Yotubasa, nga mu nsi eyo mulimu emigga egyali gikulukuta amazzi.
From thence, set they forward unto the Gudgodah, —and from the Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of torrents of water.
8 Mu kiseera ekyo Mukama n’ayawula ekika kya Leevi okusitulanga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ya Mukama, n’okuyimiriranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, n’okwatulanga emikisa gye mu linnya lye, nga bwe bakyakola n’okutuusa leero.
At that time, did Yahweh separate the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, —to stand before Yahweh to wait upon him and to bless in his name (until this day).
9 Noolwekyo Abaleevi tebaafuna mugabo wadde ekitundu eky’obusika mu nsi ensuubize nga baganda baabwe ab’ebika ebirala bwe baafuna; kubanga Mukama bwe busika bwabwe, nga Mukama Katonda wo bwe yabagamba.
For this cause, hath Levi neither portion nor inheritance with his brethren, —Yahweh, is his inheritance, as Yahweh thy God spake unto him.
10 Nabeerayo ku lusozi ne mmalayo ennaku amakumi ana, emisana n’ekiro, ng’omulundi guli ogwasooka. Ne ku mulundi guno Mukama yampuliriza. Mukama Katonda yali tayagala kukuzikiriza.
But, I, stayed in the mountain according to the former days, forty days and forty nights, —and Yahweh hearkened unto me at that time also, Yahweh was not willing, to destroy thee.
11 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Genda okulembere abantu, bakwate olugendo lwabwe, bayingire mu nsi gye nalayirira bajjajjaabwe okugibawa, bagyefunire.”
So then Yahweh said unto me, Up with thee—to break away onward, before the people, —that they may enter in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers, to give unto them.
12 Kale nno, ggwe Isirayiri, kiki Mukama Katonda wo ky’akwetaagako wabula okutya Mukama Katonda wo, okutambuliranga mu makubo ge gonna, n’okumwagalanga, n’okuweerezanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna n’emmeeme yo yonna,
Now, therefore, O Israel, what is, Yahweh thy God, asking of thee, —but to revere Yahweh thy God to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:
13 n’okugonderanga amateeka ga Mukama n’ebiragiro bye, nga bwe nkukuutira leero olw’obulungi bwo?
to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, —for thy good?
14 Laba, Mukama Katonda wo ye nannyini ggulu, era n’eggulu erisinga okuba waggulu ennyo nalyo lirye, n’ensi ne byonna ebigirimu.
Lo! unto Yahweh thy God, belong the heavens even the highest heavens, —the earth, with all that is therein.
15 Kyokka era Mukama yakwana bajjajjaabo n’abaagala nnyo, ne yeerondera mmwe, bazzukulu baabwe, okubeera ku ntikko y’amawanga gonna nga bwe kiri leero.
Only unto thy fathers, Yahweh became attached so as to love them, —therefore made he choice of their seed after them—of you—out of all the peoples, (as at this day).
16 Noolwekyo mukomole emitima gyammwe, era mukomye okubeera n’amawagali.
Therefore must ye circumcise the foreskin of your hearts, —and your necks, must ye stiffen no more.
17 Kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe ye Katonda wa bakatonda, era ye Mukama w’abakama, ye Katonda omukulu, nannyini buyinza era Katonda atiibwa, atalina kyekubiira, era atalya nguzi.
For as touching Yahweh your God, he, is God of gods, and Lord of lords; the great the mighty, and the fearful GOD, who respecteth not persons, nor accepteth a bribe;
18 Bamulekwa abataliiko bakitaabwe, ne bannamwandu, abamalira ensonga zaabwe mu bwenkanya; era ayagala ne bannamawanga abatambuze, ng’abawa emmere n’ebyokwambala.
executing the vindication of the orphan and the widow, —and loving a sojourner, giving him food and raiment.
19 Kale nno, mwagalenga bannamawanga kubanga nammwe mwaliko bannamawanga mu nsi ey’e Misiri.
Therefore shall ye love the sojourner, —for sojourners, became ye in the land of Egypt.
20 Otyanga Mukama Katonda wo era muweerezenga. Munywererengako, era mu linnya lye mw’onoolayiriranga.
Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere, Him, shalt thou serve, —And unto him, shalt thou cleave, And in his name, shalt thou swear.
21 Oyo, lye ttendo lyo era ye Katonda wo, eyakukolera ebyamagero ebyo byonna ebikulu ggwe kennyini bye weerabirako n’amaaso go.
He, is thy song of praise, And, he, thy God, —who hath done with thee these great and fearful things, which thine own eyes have seen.
22 Bajjajjaabo bwe baaserengeta e Misiri, bonna awamu baali bawera abantu nsanvu; kaakano Mukama Katonda wo abafudde bangi nnyo ng’emmunyeenye ez’oku ggulu.
As seventy souls, went thy fathers down to Egypt, —and, now, Yahweh thy God hath made thee like the stars of the heavens for multitude.
