Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 15
1 Ku buli nkomerero y’omwaka ogw’omusanvu, amabanja gonna onoogasonyiwanga.
At the terme of seuen yeeres thou shalt make a freedome.
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.
And this is the maner of the freedome: euery creditour shall quite ye lone of his hand which he hath lent to his neighbour: he shall not aske it againe of his neighbour, nor of his brother: for the yeere of the Lords freedome is proclaimed.
3 Onooyinzanga okubanja munnaggwanga akusasule, naye ebbanja muganda wo ly’akulinako onoolimusonyiwanga.
Of a stranger thou mayest require it: but that which thou hast with thy brother, thine hand shall remit:
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,
Saue when there shall be no poore with thee: for the Lord shall blesse thee in the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee, for an inheritance to possesse it:
5 kasita onoogonderanga ddala Mukama Katonda wo, n’ogoberera n’obwegendereza ebiragiro bino byonna bye nkuwa leero.
So that thou hearken vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God to obserue and doe all these commandements, which I commande thee this day.
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 thy God hath blessed thee, as he hath promised thee: and thou shalt lend vnto many nations, but thou thy selfe shalt not borow, and thou shalt reigne ouer many nations, and they shall not reigne ouer thee.
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 one of thy brethren with thee be poore within any of thy gates in thy land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poore brother:
8 Omwanjululizanga engalo zo, n’omuwolanga n’okwagala kyonna ky’anaabanga yeetaaga okumuwewulako obuzibu bwe.
But thou shalt open thine hand vnto him, and shalt lend him sufficient for his neede which he hath.
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 be not a wicked thought in thine heart, to say, The seuenth yeere, the yeere of freedome is at hand: therefore it grieueth thee to looke on thy poore brother, and thou giuest him nought, and he crie vnto the Lord against thee, so that sinne be in thee:
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.
Thou shalt giue him, and let it not grieue thine heart to giue vnto him: for because of this the Lord thy God shall blesse thee in al thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine 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.
Because there shall be euer some poore in the land, therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand vnto thy brother, to thy needie, and to thy poore in thy land.
12 Omusajja Omwebbulaniya oba omukazi Omwebbulaniya gw’onoobanga oguze okukuweerezanga, bw’anaamalangako emyaka omukaaga, mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu onoomuddizanga eddembe lye.
If thy brother an Ebrewe sell himselfe to thee, or an Ebrewesse, and serue thee sixe yeere, euen in the seuenth yeere thou shalt let him goe free from thee:
13 Era bw’onoomutanga tomusiibulanga ngalo nsa.
And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him goe away emptie,
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.
But shalt giue him a liberall reward of thy sheepe, and of thy corne, and of thy wine: thou shalt giue him of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.
15 Ojjukiranga nga wali muddu mu nsi y’e Misiri, Mukama Katonda wo n’akununulayo. Noolwekyo kyenva nkuwa ekiragiro kino leero.
And remember that thou wast a seruant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God deliuered thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
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;
And if he say vnto thee, I will not go away from thee, because he loueth thee and thine house, and because he is well with thee,
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 shalt thou take a naule, and perce his eare through against the doore, and he shall be thy seruant for euer: and vnto thy maid seruant thou shall doe 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.
Let it not grieue thee, when thou lettest him goe out free from thee: for he hath serued thee sixe yeeres, which is the double worth of an hired seruant: and the Lord thy God shall blesse thee in all that thou doest.
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.
All the first borne males that come of thy cattell, and of thy sheepe, thou shalt sanctifie vnto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt do no worke with thy first borne bullocke, nor sheare thy first borne sheepe.
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.
Thou shalt eate it before the Lord thy God yeere by yeere, in the place which the Lord shall chose, both thou, and thine 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.
But if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or haue any euill fault, thou shalt not offer it vnto the Lord thy God,
22 Onookiriiranga mu bibuga byo. Omulongoofu n’atali mulongoofu mwenna munaabiryanga nga bwe munaalyanga empeewo oba enjaza.
But shalt eate it within thy gates: the vncleane, and the cleane shall eate it alike, as the roe bucke, and as the hart.
23 Naye omusaayi togulyanga, oguyiwanga wansi ku ttaka ng’ayiwa amazzi.
Onely thou shalt not eate the blood thereof, but powre it vpon the ground as water.
