Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 13

1 Mu mmwe bwe mulabikangamu nnabbi oba omuntu n’akutegeeza eby’omu maaso nga yeeyambisa ebirooto, n’alangirira ebyamagero oba ebyewuunyisa ebijja okubeerawo,

If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and if he gives you a sign or a wonder,

2 era ebyamagero ebyo, oba ebyewuunyisa ebyo by’anaabanga alangiridde ne bituukirira, n’alyoka akugamba nti, “Ka tugoberere bakatonda abalala era tubaweerezenga” (bakatonda ggwe b’otomanyangako),

and if the sign or the wonder comes about, of which he spoke to you and said, 'Let us go after other gods, that you have not known, and let us worship them,'

3 towulirizanga bigambo bya nnabbi oyo, oba omuloosi w’ebirooto oyo. Kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe anaabanga abagezesa bugezesa ategeere obanga munaabanga mumwagala n’omutima gwammwe gwonna n’emmeeme yammwe yonna.

do not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Mukama Katonda wammwe gwe munaagobereranga, era ye yekka gwe munaatyanga, era amateeka ge, ge munaakwatanga, era n’eddoboozi lye, lye munaawulirizanga era lye munaagonderanga, era ku ye kwe munaanywereranga.

You will walk after Yahweh your God, honor him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you will worship him and cling to him.

5 Kale nno nnabbi oyo, oba omuloosi w’ebirooto oyo anattibwanga, kubanga anaabanga abasasamaza mujeemere Mukama Katonda wammwe, eyabaggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri, n’abanunula mu nnyumba ey’obuddu, nnabbi oyo ng’akusasamaza, ove mu kkubo ettuufu Mukama Katonda wo lye yakulagira okutambulirangamu. Bw’otyo ekibi ekiri mu mmwe, bw’onookimalangamu.

That prophet or that dreamer of dreams will be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and who redeemed you out of the house of bondage. That prophet wants to draw you out of the way in which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk. So put away the evil from among you.

6 Omuntu yenna, ne bw’abanga muganda wo oba mutabani wo, oba muwala wo, oba mukazi wo omuganzi ennyo, oba mukwano gwo gw’oyagala ennyo ow’okulusegere, n’akusendasendanga mu kyama ng’agamba nti, “Jjangu tugende tusinze bakatonda abalala,” bakatonda ggwe b’otomanyangako, ne bakadde bo be batamanyangako,

Suppose that your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is to you like your own soul, secretly entices you and says, 'Let us go and worship other gods that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors—

7 bakatonda ab’abantu ababeetoolodde, ab’oku muliraano, oba abeewala, okuva ensi gy’etandikira ne gy’ekoma,

any of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other end of the earth.'

8 tomuwulirizanga, so by’anaakugambanga tobikolanga. Tomusaasiranga era tomuzibiikirizanga wadde okumusonyiwanga.

You must not give in to him or listen to him, and you must not permit your eye to pity him, and you must not spare him or conceal him.

9 Omuttiranga ddala. Gw’omusokangako ng’attibwa n’abantu bonna ne bassa okwo.

Instead, you will surely kill him; your hand will be the first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

10 Onoomukubanga amayinja n’omutta, kubanga anaabanga agezezzaako okukukyusa akuggye ku Mukama Katonda wo eyakuggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri mu nnyumba ey’obuddu.

You will stone him to death with stones, because he has tried to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

11 Kale Isirayiri yonna banaakiwuliranga banaatyanga, era tewaabeerengawo mu mmwe n’omu anaddangayo okukola ekibi ng’ekyo.

All Israel will hear and fear, and will not continue to do this kind of wickedness among you.

12 Bw’owuliranga mu kimu ku bibuga Mukama Katonda wo by’akuwa okubeerangamu,

If you hear anyone say about one of your cities, that Yahweh your God gives you to live in:

13 nga mulimu abantu abali mu mmwe abasituse ne basikiriza abantu b’omu kibuga kyabwe ekyo nga babagamba nti, “Ka tugende tusinze bakatonda abalala,” bakatonda be mutamanyangako,

Some wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city and said, 'Let us go and worship other gods that you have not known.'

14 kale nno kikusaanira obuulirizenga nnyo ku kintu ekyo, okyekebejjenga, okyekkaanyizenga ddala. Bwe kinaakakasibwanga nga kya mazima, nga wakati mu mmwe waliwo abakoze ekintu ekibi bwe kityo,

Then you will examine the evidence, make search, and investigate it thoroughly. When you discover that it is true and certain that such an abominable thing has been done among you, then you will take action.

15 kale, abantu bonna abanaabeeranga mu kibuga onoobattanga n’ekitala, awamu n’ebisolo byabwe bye balunda byonna.

You will surely attack the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, completely destroy it and all the people who are in it, along with its livestock, with the edge of the sword.

16 Omunyago gwonna onoogukuŋŋaanyizanga wakati mu kibangirizi eky’omu kibuga, era onooyokyanga ekibuga kyonna n’omunyago gwako n’omuliro, ng’ekiweebwayo ekiri awamu ekyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wo. Ekibuga ekyo kinaasigalanga awo nga kifunvu eky’olubeerera, tekiddibwengamu kuzimbibwa.

You will gather all the spoil from it into the middle of its street and will burn the city, as well as all its spoil—for Yahweh your God. The city will be a heap of ruins forever; it must never be built again.

17 Tewaabeerengawo kintu na kimu ku ebyo ebinaabanga bimaze okukolimirwa ky’onoosangibwanga nakyo, bwe butyo obusungu bwa Mukama obunaabanga obungi ennyo bunakkakkananga; anaakukwatirwanga ekisa, n’akulaganga okwagala kwe, n’akwongeranga okwala, nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabo,

None of those things set apart for destruction must stick in your hand. This must be the case, so that Yahweh will turn from the fierceness of his anger, show you mercy, have compassion on you, and make you increase in numbers, as he has sworn to your fathers.

18 kubanga onoogonderanga eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wo n’okwatanga amateeka ge gonna ge nkuwa leero, n’okolanga ebisaanidde mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.

He will do this because you are listening to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all his commandments that I am commanding you today, to do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.
