Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 12
1 Gano ge mateeka n’ebiragiro bye musaana okukwatanga n’obwegendereza, nga muli mu nsi Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabo gy’akuwadde okubeera obutaka bwo ebbanga lyonna lye mulimala ku nsi.
These [are] the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
2 Muzikiririzanga ddala ebifo byonna ebiri ku gasozi ne ku nsozi, ne wansi w’agati aganene,
Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
3 bannaggwanga be mugenda okutwalako ensi yaabwe gye basinziza; n’amayinja gaabwe mugaasaayasanga, n’empagi zaabwe eza Asera mulizimenyaamenya ne muzookya mu muliro; n’ebibajje ebya bakatonda baabwe mubitemaatemanga n’amannya gaabwe mu bifo ebyo ne mugasanguliramu ddala.
And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
4 Mukama Katonda wammwe, ye temumusinzanga mu ngeri eyo nga bali bwe bakola.
Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
5 Mmwe munoonyanga mu bika byammwe byonna, ekifo Mukama Katonda wammwe ky’alibalondera we munaateekanga Erinnya lye ne mumuzimbira awo ennyumba ye ey’okubeerangamu. Mu kifo ekyo gye munaagendanga okumusinza;
But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, [even] unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
6 awo we munaaleetanga ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa ne biweebwayo ebirala, n’ebitundu byammwe eby’ekkumi, n’ebirabo eby’enjawulo, n’obweyamo bwammwe, n’ebiweebwayo ebya kyeyagalire, n’ebibereberye eby’omu bisibo byammwe n’eby’omu biraalo byammwe.
And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
7 Mmwe n’ab’omu nnyumba zammwe munaaliiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wammwe, munaasanyukanga ne mwenyumirizanga mu buli kintu kyonna kye munaabanga mukoze n’emikono gyammwe, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo anaabanga akuwadde omukisa.
And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
8 Temukolanga nga bwe tukola wano leero, nga buli omu akola nga bw’alaba ekisaanidde,
Ye shall not do after all [the things] that we do here this day, every man whatsoever [is] right in his own eyes.
9 kubanga temunnatuuka mu kiwummulo ne mu busika Mukama Katonda wammwe bw’abawa.
For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
10 Naye bwe mulimala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, ne mubeera mu nsi Mukama Katonda wammwe gy’abawa nga bwe busika bwammwe, ng’abawadde n’okuwummula, nga temukyataataaganyizibwa balabe bammwe abanaabanga babeetoolodde n’okutuula ne mutuulanga mu mirembe;
But [when] ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and [when] he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
11 kale nno, mu kifo ekyo Mukama Katonda wammwe kyanaabanga yeerondedde okutuuzanga omwo Erinnya lye, omwo mwe munaaleetanga buli kintu kyonna kye mbalagira: ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo ebirala, n’ebitundu byammwe eby’ekkumi, n’ebirabo eby’enjawulo, n’ebirabo ebisinga obulungi mu bintu byammwe bye munaabanga mweyamye okuwaayo eri Mukama.
Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
12 Munaasanyukiranga awo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wammwe, mmwe, ne batabani bammwe, ne bawala bammwe, n’abaweereza bammwe abasajja, n’abaweereza bammwe abakazi, n’Abaleevi ab’omu bibuga byammwe, kubanga bo ku bwabwe tebalifuna mugabo oba obusika okufaanana nga mmwe.
And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that [is] within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
13 Weekuumanga n’otaweerayo biweebwayo by’omu buli kifo kyonna ky’onoolabanga.
Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
14 Obiweerengayo mu kifo ekyo ekimu kyokka Mukama ky’anaakulonderanga okuva mu kimu ku bika byo; era omwo mw’onookoleranga ebyo byonna bye nkulagira.
But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
15 Naye onettiranga ku bisolo ebinaabanga mu bibuga byo, oba mpeewo oba njaza, n’olya ennyama nnyingi nga bw’onooyagalanga, ng’omukisa bwe guli Mukama Katonda wo gw’anaakuwanga. Abalongoofu mu by’emikolo n’abatali balongoofu, bonna banaalyanga.
Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
16 Wabula omusaayi temugulyanga; munaaguyiwanga wansi ku ttaka ng’amazzi.
Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
17 Mu bibuga byo toliirangamu kitundu ekimu eky’ekkumi eky’emmere yo ey’empeke, oba ekya wayini wo, oba eky’amafuta go; oba ebibereberye eby’omu bisibo byo n’eby’omu biraalo byo, oba n’obweyamo bwo oba n’ebiweebwayo ebya kyeyagalire; wadde n’ebirabo ebitali bya bulijjo.
Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
18 Onoobiriiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo, mu kifo ekyo Mukama Katonda wo ky’anaabanga akulondedde; ggwe, ne mutabani wo, ne muwala wo, n’omuweereza wo omusajja n’omuweereza wo omukazi, n’Omuleevi anaabanga mu bibuga byo, era onoosanyukiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo mu buli kintu kyonna ky’onoobanga okoze n’emikono gyo.
But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
19 Weekuumanga nnyo obutalagajjaliranga Muleevi ebbanga lyonna ly’olimala ng’oli mulamu ku nsi.
Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
20 Mukama Katonda wo bw’aligaziya amatwale go, nga bwe yakusuubiza, n’oyoyanga okulya ku nnyama ng’ogamba nti, “Nandiyagadde okulya ku nnyama.” Kale, onoolyanga ennyama ennyingi nga bw’onooyagalanga.
When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
21 Ekifo, Mukama Katonda wo ky’anaabanga akulondedde okuteekamu Erinnya lye, bwe kinaabanga kiri wala n’ewuwo kale onooyinzanga okutta ku zimu ku nsolo ez’omu bisibo byo ne mu biraalo byo Mukama by’anaabanga akuwadde, nga bwe nkulagidde; era mu bibuga byo onooyinzanga okulya ennyama ennyingi nga bw’onooyagalanga.
If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
22 Onoogiryanga nga bw’onoolyanga empeewo n’enjaza. Abalongoofu n’abatali balongoofu bonna banaalyanga.
Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat [of] them alike.
23 Naye weekuumenga obutalyanga musaayi; kubanga omusaayi bwe bulamu, ate nga tekikugwaniranga kulyanga bulamu ng’olya ennyama.
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood [is] the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
24 Togulyanga; oguyiwanga wansi ku ttaka ng’amazzi.
Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
25 Togulyanga, olyoke obeerenga mu ddembe, ggwe, n’abaana bo, ng’okoze ebituufu mu maaso ga Mukama.
Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD.
26 Naye ebintu byo ebitukuvu ne byonna by’oneeyamanga okuwaayo, onoobiddiranga n’obitwalanga mu kifo Mukama ky’anaabanga akulondedde.
Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
27 Onooleetanga ebiweebwayo byo ebyokebwa, ennyama n’omusaayi, ku Kyoto kya Mukama Katonda wo. Omusaayi gw’ebiweebwayo byo ebirala gunaafukibwanga ku Kyoto kya Mukama Katonda wo, naye ennyama onooyinzanga okugirya.
And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
28 Weegenderezenga okugoberera ebiragiro bino byonna bye nkuwa, olyoke obeenga bulungi, ggwe, n’abaana bo, oluvannyuma lwo, emirembe gyonna, kubanga onoobanga okoze ekituufu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest [that which is] good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
29 Amawanga ago g’ogenda okulumba ogatwaleko ensi yaabwe, Mukama agenda kugazikiriza nga naawe olaba. Naye bw’obanga omaze okubagoba mu nsi yaabwe, n’okugibeeramu n’ogibeeramu,
When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
30 era ng’amawanga ago gamaze okuzikirizibwa nga naawe olaba, weekuumanga n’otabuuliriza ku bya bakatonda baabwe ng’ogamba nti, “Ab’omu mawanga ago baasinzanga batya bakatonda baabwe, nange njagala nkole bwe ntyo?”
Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Mukama Katonda wo tomusinzanga mu ngeri efaanana ng’eya bali, kubanga mu kusinza bakatonda baabwe bakoleramu ebikolobero bingi Mukama by’atayagala, by’akyawa. Bayokya ne batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe mu muliro nga ssaddaaka eri bakatonda baabwe.
Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32 Kibagwanidde okunyiikiranga okukolanga buli kintu kye mbalagira, tokyongerangako wadde okukikendeezangako.
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
