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,
You are the people of Jehovah your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes 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.
For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God, and Jehovah has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
3 Temulyanga nnyama ya kisolo kyonna ekitali kirongoofu eky’omuzizo.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 Bino bye bisolo bye munaalyanga: ente, endiga, embuzi,
These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 enjaza, empeewo, ennangaazi, embulabuzi, entamu, enteŋŋo n’endiga ez’omu nsiko.
the deer, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois.
6 Era munaayinzanga okulya ensolo ezirina ebinuulo ebyawulamu wabiri nga zizza n’obwenkulumu.
Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, that may you 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.
Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are 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 pig, because it has a split hoof, but doesn't chew the cud, is unclean to you: of 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 you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales may you eat;
10 Naye ebyo byonna ebitalina maggwa na magalagamba temubiryanga, kubanga si birongoofu gye muli.
and whatever doesn't have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you.
11 Ennyonyi ennongoofu munaaziryanga.
Of all clean birds you may eat.
12 Naye zino temuuziryenga: empungu, ennunda, makwanzi,
But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,
13 wonzi, eddiirawamu, kamunye n’ez’ekika kye,
and the kite, and the buzzard, and the vulture after its kind,
14 namuŋŋoona owa buli ngeri;
and every raven after its kind,
15 ne maaya, n’olubugabuga, olusove, enkambo n’ekika kyazo,
and the ostrich, and the owl, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
16 ekiwuugulu, n’ekkukufu, ekiwuugulu eky’amatu;
the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,
17 n’ekimbala, n’ensega, n’enkobyokkobyo;
and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,
18 ne kasiida, ne ssekanyolya, n’ekika kye, n’ekkookootezi, n’ekinyira.

Of all clean birds you may 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.
You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you may give it to the foreigner living among you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner: for you are a holy people to Jehovah your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
22 Buli lw’onookungulanga ebibala byo nga biva mu nnimiro yo buli mwaka, weegenderezanga n’ossangako wabbali ekitundu kyabyo eky’ekkumi.
You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes forth from the field year by year.
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.
You shall eat before Jehovah your God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear Jehovah your God always.
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,
If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, which Jehovah your God shall choose, to set his name there, when Jehovah your God shall bless you;
25 kale nno, onookiwaanyisangamu omuwendo gw’ensimbi. Onoogendanga n’ensimbi ezo ng’ozinywezezza mu mukono gwo mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo kye yeerondera.
then you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which Jehovah your God 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 you shall bestow the money for whatever your soul desires, for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you; and you shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
27 Naye nno, Omuleevi anaabeeranga naawe mu bibuga byo tomulagajjaliranga, kubanga ye talina mugabo wadde ebyobusika ebibye ku bubwe nga ggwe.
The Levite who is within your gates, you shall not forsake him; for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
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.
At the end of every three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall lay it up within your 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, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner living among you, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
