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,
Ye [are] the children of the LORD your God: ye 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 thou [art] a holy people to the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people to himself, above all the nations that [are] upon the earth.
3 Temulyanga nnyama ya kisolo kyonna ekitali kirongoofu eky’omuzizo.
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
4 Bino bye bisolo bye munaalyanga: ente, endiga, embuzi,
These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 enjaza, empeewo, ennangaazi, embulabuzi, entamu, enteŋŋo n’endiga ez’omu nsiko.
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow-deer, and the wild-goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 Era munaayinzanga okulya ensolo ezirina ebinuulo ebyawulamu wabiri nga zizza n’obwenkulumu.
And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye 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.
Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat, of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; [therefore] 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.
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, [is] unclean to you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
9 Mu biramu ebibeera mu mazzi, munaalyanga ebyo ebirina amaggwa ku mugongo n’amagalagamba.
These ye shall eat, of all that [are] in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
10 Naye ebyo byonna ebitalina maggwa na magalagamba temubiryanga, kubanga si birongoofu gye muli.
And whatever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it [is] unclean to you.
11 Ennyonyi ennongoofu munaaziryanga.
[Of] all clean birds ye shall eat.
12 Naye zino temuuziryenga: empungu, ennunda, makwanzi,
But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 wonzi, eddiirawamu, kamunye n’ez’ekika kye,
And the glede, and the kite, and the vultur after his kind,
14 namuŋŋoona owa buli ngeri;
And every raven after his kind,
15 ne maaya, n’olubugabuga, olusove, enkambo n’ekika kyazo,
And the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
16 ekiwuugulu, n’ekkukufu, ekiwuugulu eky’amatu;
The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17 n’ekimbala, n’ensega, n’enkobyokkobyo;
And the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,
18 ne kasiida, ne ssekanyolya, n’ekika kye, n’ekkookootezi, n’ekinyira.
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 Ebiwuka byonna ebirina ebiwaawaatiro nga bigendera mu kibinja si birongoofu gye muli, temuubiryenga.
And every creeping animal that flieth [is] unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
20 Ekiramu kyonna ekirongoofu ekirina ebiwaawaatiro munaayinzanga okukirya.
[But of] all clean fowls ye 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.
Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it to the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it to an alien: for thou [art] a holy people to the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
22 Buli lw’onookungulanga ebibala byo nga biva mu nnimiro yo buli mwaka, weegenderezanga n’ossangako wabbali ekitundu kyabyo eky’ekkumi.
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth 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.
And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy 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,
And if the way is too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; [or] if the place is too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
25 kale nno, onookiwaanyisangamu omuwendo gw’ensimbi. Onoogendanga n’ensimbi ezo ng’ozinywezezza mu mukono gwo mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo kye yeerondera.
Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the LORD thy 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 thou shalt bestow that money for whatever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy household.
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, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
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 three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thy increase the same year, 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, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.
