Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 14
1 Muli baana ba Mukama Katonda wammwe. Temwesalangako misale oba enjola ku mibiri gyammwe, wadde okwemwangako enviiri ez’omu bwenyi nga mufiiriddwa,
Be ye children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, no, make any baldness for the dead;
2 kubanga oli ggwanga ttukuvu eri Mukama Katonda wo. Mu mawanga gonna ag’oku nsi, Mukama ggwe gwe yalondamu okuba eggwanga lye eddonde lye yeefunira.
Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.
3 Temulyanga nnyama ya kisolo kyonna ekitali kirongoofu eky’omuzizo.
Eat not the things that are unclean.
4 Bino bye bisolo bye munaalyanga: ente, endiga, embuzi,
These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
5 enjaza, empeewo, ennangaazi, embulabuzi, entamu, enteŋŋo n’endiga ez’omu nsiko.
The hart and the roe, the buffle, the chamois, the pygarg, the wild goat, the camelopardalus.
6 Era munaayinzanga okulya ensolo ezirina ebinuulo ebyawulamu wabiri nga zizza n’obwenkulumu.
Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you shall eat.
7 Naye nno ku ezo ezirina ebinuulo ebyawulamu oba nga zizza obwenkulumu, zino temuziryanga: eŋŋamira, akamyu, n’omusu. Kubanga newaakubadde nga zizza obwenkulumu, ekinuulo kyazo sikyawulemu, si nnongoofu za muzizo gye muli.
But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.
8 Embizzi nazo si nnongoofu, kubanga newaakubadde zirina ekinuulo ekyawulemu, naye tezizza bwenkulumu, noolwekyo zinaabanga za muzizo gye muli. Ennyama yaazo temugiryanga so temukwatanga wadde okukoma ku mirambo gyazo.
The swine also, because it divideth the hoof, but cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean, their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
9 Mu biramu ebibeera mu mazzi, munaalyanga ebyo ebirina amaggwa ku mugongo n’amagalagamba.
These shall you eat of all that abide in the waters: All that have fins and scales, you shall eat.
10 Naye ebyo byonna ebitalina maggwa na magalagamba temubiryanga, kubanga si birongoofu gye muli.
Such as are without fins and scales, you shall not eat, because they are unclean.
11 Ennyonyi ennongoofu munaaziryanga.
All birds that are clean you shall eat.
12 Naye zino temuuziryenga: empungu, ennunda, makwanzi,
The unclean eat not: to wit, the eagle, and the grype, and the osprey,
13 wonzi, eddiirawamu, kamunye n’ez’ekika kye,
The ringtail, and the vulture, and the kite according to their kind:
14 namuŋŋoona owa buli ngeri;
And all of the raven’s kind:
15 ne maaya, n’olubugabuga, olusove, enkambo n’ekika kyazo,
And the ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind:
16 ekiwuugulu, n’ekkukufu, ekiwuugulu eky’amatu;
The heron, and the swan, and the stork,
17 n’ekimbala, n’ensega, n’enkobyokkobyo;
And the cormorant, the porphyrion, and the night crow,
18 ne kasiida, ne ssekanyolya, n’ekika kye, n’ekkookootezi, n’ekinyira.
The bittern, and the charadrion, every one in their kind: the hoop also and the bat.
19 Ebiwuka byonna ebirina ebiwaawaatiro nga bigendera mu kibinja si birongoofu gye muli, temuubiryenga.
Every thing that creepeth, and hath little wings, shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.
20 Ekiramu kyonna ekirongoofu ekirina ebiwaawaatiro munaayinzanga okukirya.
All that is clean, you shall eat.
21 Ekintu kyonna kye munaasanganga nga kimaze okufa, temukiryanga. Onooyinzanga okukiwanga munnaggwanga anaabeeranga mu bibuga byo ye n’akirya, oba onooyinzanga okukitunzanga munnaggwanga. Kubanga oli ggwanga ettukuvu eri Mukama Katonda wo. Tofumbiranga kabuzi kato mu mata ga nnyina waako.
But whatsoever is dead of itself, eat not thereof. Give it to the stranger, that is within thy gates, to eat, or sell it to him: because thou art the holy people of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.
22 Buli lw’onookungulanga ebibala byo nga biva mu nnimiro yo buli mwaka, weegenderezanga n’ossangako wabbali ekitundu kyabyo eky’ekkumi.
Every year thou shalt set aside the tithes of all thy fruits that the earth bringeth forth,
23 Onoolyanga ekitundu eky’ekkumi eky’emmere y’empeke, n’ekya wayini omusu, n’eky’amafuta, n’eky’ebibereberye eby’ebisibo byo n’eby’amagana go. Onookiriiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo mu kifo ky’anaabanga yeerondedde eky’okubeerangamu Erinnya lye, olyokenga oyige okutyanga Mukama Katonda wo bulijjo.
And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, that his name may be called upon therein, the tithe of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, and the firstborn of thy herds and thy sheep: that thou mayst learn to fear the Lord thy God at all times.
24 Naye Mukama ng’akuwadde omukisa, kyokka ng’ekifo ekyo kye yeerondera okubeerangamu Erinnya lye kiri wala n’ewuwo, noolwekyo nga toosobolenga kwetikka ekitundu eky’ekkumi okukituusangayo,
But when the way and the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, are far off, and he hath blessed thee, and thou canst not carry all these things thither,
25 kale nno, onookiwaanyisangamu omuwendo gw’ensimbi. Onoogendanga n’ensimbi ezo ng’ozinywezezza mu mukono gwo mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo kye yeerondera.
Thou shalt sell them all, and turn them into money, and shalt carry it in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the Lord shall choose:
26 Ensimbi ezo onoozeegulirangamu ekintu kyonna ky’onooyagalanga: gamba ente, oba endiga, oba envinnyo, oba ekyokunywa ekitamiiza, oba ekintu kyonna ky’onooyagalanga. Ggwe awamu n’ab’omu maka go bonna munaaliiranga awo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo nga musanyuka.
And thou shalt buy with the same money whatsoever pleaseth thee, either of the herds or of sheep, wine also and strong drink, and all that thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, and shalt feast, thou and thy house:
27 Naye nno, Omuleevi anaabeeranga naawe mu bibuga byo tomulagajjaliranga, kubanga ye talina mugabo wadde ebyobusika ebibye ku bubwe nga ggwe.
And the Levite that is within thy gates, beware thou forsake him not, because he hath no other part in thy possession.
28 Buli myaka esatu, ku buli nkomerero ya mwaka ogwokusatu, onooleetanga ebitundu eby’ekkumi byonna ebyo eby’ebibala byo byonna eby’omwaka ogwo, n’obiterekanga mu mawanika mu bibuga byo.
The third year thou shalt separate another tithe of all things that grow to thee at that time, and shalt lay it up within thy gates.
29 Kale nno, Omuleevi kubanga taabenga na mugabo wadde ebyobusika nga ggwe, ne bamulekwa abatalina bakitaabwe ne nnamwandu; abo bonna abanaabanga babeera mu bibuga byo, bajjenga balye okutuusa lwe banakkutanga; bw’atyo Mukama Katonda wo alyoke akuwenga omukisa mu buli kimu kyonna ky’onookolanga n’emikono gyo.
And the Levite that hath no other part nor possession with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come and shall eat and be filled: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands that thou shalt do.
