Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 15
1 Ku buli nkomerero y’omwaka ogw’omusanvu, amabanja gonna onoogasonyiwanga.
At the end of every seven years, you shall cancel debts.
2 Okusonyiwa okwo kunaabeeranga bwe kuti: buli muntu eyawola munne ebbanja, anaasazangamu ebbanja eryo lye yamuwola. Temubanjanga Bayisirayiri bannammwe, kubanga ebiro Mukama by’anaabanga ataddewo eby’okusonyiwagana amabanja binaabanga bimaze okulangirirwa.
This is the way it shall be done: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not require payment from his neighbor and his brother, because the LORD’s release has been proclaimed.
3 Onooyinzanga okubanja munnaggwanga akusasule, naye ebbanja muganda wo ly’akulinako onoolimusonyiwanga.
Of a foreigner you may require it; but whatever of yours is with your brother, your hand shall release.
4 Naye tewaabeerengawo mwavu mu mmwe kubanga ng’otuuse mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okugyefunira ng’obutaka bwo obw’enkalakkalira n’akuyiwangako emikisa gye emingi,
However there will be no poor with you (for the LORD will surely bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess)
5 kasita onoogonderanga ddala Mukama Katonda wo, n’ogoberera n’obwegendereza ebiragiro bino byonna bye nkuwa leero.
if only you diligently listen to the LORD your God’s voice, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you today.
6 Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo agenda kukuyiwako emikisa gye nga bwe yakusuubiza. Amawanga mangi onoogawolanga naye ggwe tojjanga kugeewolako. Onoofuganga amawanga mangi, naye go tegaakufugenga.
For the LORD your God will bless you, as he promised you. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. You will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.
7 Bw’onoobanga oli mu bibuga by’omu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, mu mmwe bwe munaabangamu munno omwavu ali mu kwetaaga tokakanyazanga mutima gwo wadde okukodowaliranga muganda wo oyo omwavu.
If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;
8 Omwanjululizanga engalo zo, n’omuwolanga n’okwagala kyonna ky’anaabanga yeetaaga okumuwewulako obuzibu bwe.
but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.
9 Weekuumenga nnyo olemenga kubeeranga na ndowooza eno embi mu mutima gwo nti, “Omwaka ogw’omusanvu ogw’okusonyiwa amabanja gusembedde,” muganda wo n’omukwatirwa ettima n’otobaako ky’omuwa. Muganda wo ayinza okujulira eri Mukama n’osangibwanga ng’ogudde mu kibi.
Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,” and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing; and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin to you.
10 Muwenga n’okwagala n’obutajuliriranga, kubanga olw’omwoyo ng’ogwo, Mukama Katonda wo ajjanga kukuwanga omukisa mu mirimu gyo gyonna, ne mu buli kintu ky’onootuusangako engalo zo.
You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.
11 Olwokubanga mu nsi temuubulengamu baavu abali mu kwetaaga, kyenva nkulagira nti muganda wo omwavu era ali mu kwetaaga omwanjululizanga engalo zo bulijjo mu nsi yo.
For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.
12 Omusajja Omwebbulaniya oba omukazi Omwebbulaniya gw’onoobanga oguze okukuweerezanga, bw’anaamalangako emyaka omukaaga, mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu onoomuddizanga eddembe lye.
If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
13 Era bw’onoomutanga tomusiibulanga ngalo nsa.
When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty.
14 Omuwangako, nga teweebalira, ku magana go, ne ku mmere yo ey’empeke, ne ku wayini wo. Omuwanga nga Mukama Katonda wo bw’anaabanga akuwadde omukisa.
You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your wine press. As the LORD your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
15 Ojjukiranga nga wali muddu mu nsi y’e Misiri, Mukama Katonda wo n’akununulayo. Noolwekyo kyenva nkuwa ekiragiro kino leero.
You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you. Therefore I command you this thing today.
16 Naye omuddu bw’anaakugambanga nti, “Sijja kuva wano,” kubanga akwagala nnyo ggwe n’abali mu maka go, era nga bw’abeera naawe aba bulungi;
It shall be, if he tells you, “I will not go out from you,” because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you,
17 kale nno, onoomulazanga awali oluggi, n’oddira olukato n’olufumitanga mu kutu kwe okw’ebweru ne luyingira ne mu luggi; olwo anaabanga afuuse muweereza wo ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe bwonna. N’omuweereza wo omukazi naye onoomuyisanga bw’otyo.
then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.
18 Tolowoozanga nti omukwatiddwa ekisa kubanga akuweerezza okumala emyaka mukaaga, nga buli mulimu gw’akola gwandikoleddwanga abaweereza ab’empeera babiri balamba. Era mu byonna by’onookolanga, Mukama Katonda wo anaakuwanga omukisa.
It shall not seem hard to you when you let him go free from you, for he has been double the value of a hired hand as he served you six years. The LORD your God will bless you in all that you do.
19 Buli bibereberye ebisajja ebinaazaalibwanga mu ggana lyo ne mu kisibo kyo, onoobitukuzanga era binaabanga bya Mukama Katonda wo. Ente zo ennume embereberye tozikozesanga mirimu, n’endiga zo embereberye tozisalangako byoya.
You shall dedicate all the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock to the LORD your God. You shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
20 Ebibereberye ebyo onoobiryanga buli mwaka, buli mwaka, ggwe n’ab’omu nju yo bonna, nga mubiriiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo, mu kifo Mukama ky’anaabanga yeerondedde.
You shall eat it before the LORD your God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your household.
21 Ekisolo bwe kinaabeerangako akamogo, gamba nga kirema, oba nga kizibe kya maaso, oba nga kiriko ekikyamu kyonna ekinene, tokireetanga ng’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda wo.
If it has any defect—is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.
22 Onookiriiranga mu bibuga byo. Omulongoofu n’atali mulongoofu mwenna munaabiryanga nga bwe munaalyanga empeewo oba enjaza.
You shall eat it within your gates. The unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle and as the deer.
23 Naye omusaayi togulyanga, oguyiwanga wansi ku ttaka ng’ayiwa amazzi.
Only you shall not eat its blood. You shall pour it out on the ground like water.
