Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 16
1 Ojjukiranga omwezi ogwa Abibu ng’ogukwatiramu Okuyitako kwa Mukama Katonda wo, kubanga ekiro mu mwezi gwa Abibu, Mukama Katonda wo mwe yakuggyira mu nsi y’e Misiri.
“Observe the month of Abib, and you have made a Passover to your God YHWH, for in the month of Abib your God YHWH has brought you out of Egypt by night;
2 Onooleetanga ekiweebwayo eri Mukama eky’Okuyitako, ng’okiggya mu ggana lyo, ne mu kisibo kyo mu kifo Mukama ky’anaabanga yerondedde nga kye ky’okubeerangamu Erinnya lye.
and you have sacrificed a Passover to your God YHWH, of the flock and of the herd, in the place which YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there.
3 Tokiryanga na mugaati omuzimbulukuse. Onoomalanga ennaku musanvu ng’emigaati gy’olya si mizimbulukuse, gye migaati egy’okulaba ennaku, kubanga mu Misiri wavaayo mu bwangu, bw’otyo olyokenga ojjukirenga, mu nnaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo, olunaku lwe wasitulirako ng’ova mu nsi y’e Misiri.
You do not eat any fermented thing with it; [for] seven days you eat unleavened things with it, bread of affliction (for you have come out of the land of Egypt in haste), so that you remember the day of your coming out of the land of Egypt all [the] days of your life;
4 Tewaabeerengawo asangibwa na kizimbulukusa mu nsi yo yonna okumalanga ennaku musanvu. Ennyama gy’onooteekateekanga, ey’ekiweebwayo, akawungeezi ku lunaku olw’olubereberye teesigalengawo kutuusa nkeera.
and leaven is not seen with you in all your border [for] seven days, and there does not remain [any] of the flesh which you sacrifice at evening on the first day until morning.
5 Tokkirizibwenga kuweerangayo mu bibuga byo Mukama Katonda wo by’akuwa, ekiweebwayo eky’Okuyitako,
You are not able to sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you,
6 wabula onookiweerangayo mu kifo Mukama ky’anaabanga yeerondedde eky’okubeerangamu Erinnya lye. Eyo gy’onooweerangayo Okuyitako akawungeezi ng’enjuba egwa, ng’ojjukiranga olunaku lwe wasitulirako ng’ova mu nsi y’e Misiri.
except at the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell—there you sacrifice the Passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of your coming out of Egypt;
7 Onoofumbanga okuyitako okwo n’okuliira mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo kye yeerondera. Enkeera onoddangayo mu weema yo.
and you have cooked and eaten in the place on which your God YHWH fixes, and have turned in the morning and gone to your tents;
8 Onoolyanga emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse okumala ennaku mukaaga, kyokka ku lunaku olw’omusanvu kunaabanga kukuŋŋaana mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo okumusinza; tolukolerangako mulimu gwonna.
[for] six days you eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to your God YHWH; you do no work.
9 Onoobalanga wiiki musanvu okuva ku kiseera lw’onookungulanga emmere ey’empeke okuva mu nnimiro yo omulundi ogusooka.
You number seven weeks for yourself; you begin to number seven weeks from the beginning of the sickle among the standing grain,
10 Kale nno onookwatanga Embaga ya Wiiki ezo ng’oleetera Mukama Katonda wo ekiweebwayo ekya kyeyagalire ekinaavanga mu ngalo zo, ng’emikisa bwe ginaabeeranga Mukama Katonda wo gy’anaabanga akuwadde.
and you have observed the Celebration of Weeks to your God YHWH, a tribute of a free-will offering of your hand, which you give as your God YHWH blesses you.
11 Onoosanyukiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo mu kifo ky’anaabanga yeerondedde okubeerangamu Erinnya lye. Onoosanyukanga ne batabani bo, ne bawala bo, n’abaweereza bo abasajja, n’abaweereza bo abakazi, n’Omuleevi anaabeeranga mu bibuga byo, ne munnaggwanga ne mulekwa, ne nnamwandu abanaabeeranga mu mmwe.
And you have rejoiced before your God YHWH, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in your midst, in the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there,
12 Ojjukiranga nga bwe wali omuddu mu nsi ey’e Misiri, osaana ogonderenga ebiragiro ebyo n’obwegendereza.
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and have observed and done these statutes.
13 Onookwatanga Embaga ey’Ensiisira okumala ennaku musanvu ng’omaze okuyingiza ebyamakungula byo okubiggya mu gguuliro, ne wayini ng’omuggye mu ssogolero lyo.
You observe the Celebration of Shelters for yourself [for] seven days, in your ingathering of your threshing-floor and of your wine-vat;
14 Onoojaguzanga ng’oli ku Mbaga eyo, ggwe, ne mutabani wo, ne muwala wo, n’omuweereza wo omusajja, n’omuweereza wo omukazi, n’Omuleevi, n’omunnaggwanga, ne mulekwa, ne nnamwandu, abanaabeeranga mu bibuga byo.
and you have rejoiced in your celebration, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates.
15 Onoomalanga ennaku musanvu ng’ojaguza ku Mbaga eyo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo mu kifo Mukama ky’aneeronderanga. Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo anaakuwanga omukisa mu bibala byonna eby’amakungula go, ne mu mirimu gyo gyonna gy’onootuusangako engalo zo, essanyu lyo bwe lityo linaabanga lijjuvu.
[For] seven days you celebrate before your God YHWH in the place which YHWH chooses, for your God YHWH blesses you in all your increase and in every work of your hands, and you have been only rejoicing.
16 Abasajja bonna mu mmwe banaakuŋŋaananga emirundi esatu buli mwaka, mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo, mu kifo ky’aneeronderanga, ku Mbaga y’Emigaati Egitali Mizimbulukuse, ne ku Mbaga eya Wiiki Omusanvu, ne ku Mbaga ey’Ensiisira. Tewaabengawo n’omu anajjanga engalo enjereere awali Mukama.
Three times in a year all of your males appear before your God YHWH in the place which He chooses: in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters; and they do not appear before YHWH empty;
17 Buli omu anaaleetanga ekirabo kye ng’obusobozi bwe bwe bunaabanga, nga bwesigamizibwa ku mikisa Mukama Katonda wo gy’anaabanga akuwadde.
each [gives] according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of your God YHWH, which He has given to you.
18 Onoolondanga abalamuzi n’abakulembeze mu bantu, mu bika byo byonna, mu bibuga byo byonna, Mukama Katonda wo by’akuwa, baweerezenga abantu nga babasalirawo ensonga zaabwe nga tebasaliriza.
You set for yourself judges and authorities within all your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you, for your tribes; and they have judged the people [with] a righteous judgment.
19 Obeeranga n’obwenkanya, era tobanga na kyekubiira ng’osala emisango. Tolyanga nguzi, kubanga enguzi eziba amaaso g’omugezi era ebuzaabuza ebigambo by’abatuukirivu.
You do not turn aside judgment; you do not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
20 Ogobereranga bwenkanya bwokka olyoke olye ensi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa.
Righteousness—you pursue righteousness, so that you live and have possessed the land which your God YHWH is giving to you.
21 Tosimbanga miti gya kusinza okumpi n’ekyoto ky’onoozimbiranga Mukama Katonda wo;
You do not plant an Asherah of any trees for yourself near the altar of your God YHWH, which you make for yourself,
22 wadde okuyimirizangawo empagi ey’amayinja ey’okusinzanga; kubanga ebyo byonna Mukama Katonda wo tabyagala abikyayira ddala.
and you do not raise up any standing image for yourself which your God YHWH is hating.”
