Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 17
1 Toleetanga kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda wo eky’ente oba eky’endiga ng’eriko akamogo oba ekikyamu kyonna, kubanga ebiri ng’ebyo Katonda wo abikyayira ddala.
Thou shalt not sacrifice to the Lord thy God a sheep, or an ox, wherein there is blemish, or any fault: for that is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
2 Omuntu yenna omusajja oba omukazi abeera mu mmwe, mu kimu ku bibuga Mukama Katonda wo by’akuwa, bw’anaakwatibwanga ng’akoze ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo, ng’amenye endagaano ya Mukama,
When there shall be found among you within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, man or woman that do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, and transgress his covenant,
3 era ng’ajeemedde ekiragiro kyange n’asinza bakatonda abalala, ng’enjuba, oba omwezi, oba emmunyeenye ez’oku ggulu, bye siragiranga okubisinzanga,
So as to go and serve strange gods, and adore them, the sun and the moon. and all the host of heaven, which I have not commanded:
4 ekikolwa ekyo ne kikutegeezebwangako; kale onookinoonyerezangako n’obwegendereza. Bwe kinaakakasibwanga nga kya mazima, ng’ekibi ekyo kikoleddwa mu Isirayiri,
And this is told thee, and hearing it thou hast inquired diligently, and found it to be true, and that the abomination is committed in Israel:
5 onoofulumyanga omusajja oyo, oba omukazi oyo, akoze ekibi ekyo, wabweru wa wankaaki w’ekibuga n’omukuba amayinja, n’afa.
Thou shalt bring forth the man or the woman, who have committed that most wicked thing, to the gates of thy city, and they shall be stoned.
6 Omuntu anattibwanga nga wamaze kulabikawo obujulizi bw’abantu babiri oba basatu, naye omuntu tattibwenga ku bujulizi bw’omuntu omu yekka.
By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he die that is to be slain. Let no man be put to death, when only one beareth witness against him.
7 Abajulizi be banaasookanga okukasuukirira omuntu oyo amayinja, n’abalala ne bagoberera. Kinaakusaaniranga okwemalangako ebibi ebinaabeeranga wakati mu mmwe.
The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to kill him, and afterwards the hands of the rest of the people: that thou mayst take away the evil out of the midst of thee.
8 Bwe wanaabangawo emisango egireeteddwa mu mbuga yo nga mizibu gikukaluubiridde okusala, oba nga gya kuyiwa musaayi, oba gya kuwozaŋŋanya, oba kukubagana, oba ensonga endala zonna ezinaabangamu enkaayana mu bibuga byo, ensonga ezo zonna onoozitwalanga mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo ky’anaabanga yeerondedde.
If thou perceive that there be among you a hard and doubtful matter in judgment between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy: and thou see that the words of the judges within thy gates do vary: arise, and go up to the place, which the Lord thy God shall choose.
9 Bw’onootuukanga eyo oneebuuzanga ku bakabona, be Baleevi, ne ku mulamuzi anaabanga akola omulimu ogwo mu kiseera ekyo. Banaakutegeezanga ensala yaabwe.
And thou shalt come to the priests of the Levitical race, and to the judge, that shall be at that time: and thou shalt ask of them, and they shall shew thee the truth of the judgment.
10 Onookoleranga ku nsala yaabwe eyo gye banaakuwanga mu kifo ekyo Mukama ky’anaabanga yeerondedde. Weegenderezanga nnyo n’okola ebyo bye banaabanga bakulagidde.
And thou shalt do whatsoever they shall say, that preside in the place, which the Lord shall choose, and what they shall teach thee,
11 Kinaakugwaniranga okukola ng’amateeka ge banaabanga bakunnyonnyodde bwe gagamba, n’ensala yaabwe nga bw’eneebanga gye banaakutegeezanga. Bye banaakutegeezanga tobivangako kulaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ku gwa kkono.
According to his law; and thou shalt follow their sentence: neither shalt thou decline to the right hand nor to the left hand.
12 Omuntu yenna anaanyoomanga omulamuzi oba kabona eyateekebwawo okuweereza Mukama Katonda wo, omuntu oyo wa kufa. Bw’otyo bw’onoomalangamu ekibi mu Isirayiri.
But he that will be proud, and refuse to obey the commandment of the priest, who ministereth at that time to the Lord thy God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away the evil from Israel:
13 Abantu bonna banaabiwuliranga ne batya, ne bataddayo nate kukola bya kyejo.
And all the people hearing it shall fear, that no one afterwards swell with pride.
14 Bw’olimala okuyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, n’ogirya, n’obeera omwo, oliyinza okugamba nti, “Leka neeteekerewo kabaka ananfuganga okufaanana ng’amawanga amalala gonna aganneebunguludde;”
When thou art come into the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee, and possessest it, and shalt say: I will set a king over me, as all nations have that are round about:
15 Weegenderezanga n’ossaawo kabaka oyo Mukama Katonda wo gw’anaakulonderanga. Kikugwanira okumuggyanga mu bantu bo bennyini. Tokkirizibwenga kwessizangawo kabaka omunnaggwanga anaabanga tavudde mu baganda bo bennyini, okukufuganga.
Thou shalt set him whom the Lord thy God shall choose out of the number of thy brethren. Thou mayst not make a man of another nation king, that is not thy brother.
16 Kabaka oyo tateekwa kwefuniranga mbalaasi nnyingi, wadde okutumanga abantu mu Misiri bamufunirengayo embalaasi endala okwongeranga ku z’alina obungi; kubanga Mukama yagamba nti, “Temuddangayo kukwata kkubo eryo,”
And when he is made king, he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor lead back the people into Egypt, being lifted up with the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord hath commanded you to return no more the same way.
17 Tawasanga bakazi bangi kubanga bagenda kumukyamyanga. So tekimugwanira kwetuumangako zaabu n’effeeza ennyingi ennyo.
He shall not have many wives, that may allure his mind, nor immense sums of silver and gold.
18 Bw’anaamalanga okutebenkera ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwe, anaakoppololeranga amateeka gano mu kitabo ng’agaggyanga ku ga bakabona, Abaleevi.
But after he is raised to the throne of his kingdom, he shall copy out to himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, taking the copy of the priests of the Levitical tribe,
19 Ekitabo ekyo anaabeeranga nakyo bulijjo, era anaakisomanga ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe, alyokenga ayige okutyanga Mukama Katonda we, ng’agobereranga n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna ebiri mu mateeka gano, ne mu biragiro,
And he shall have it with him, and shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and keep his words and ceremonies, that are commanded in the law;
20 nga teyeekulumbaza kusukkirira ku bannansi banne, era nga takyama kuva ku mateeka gano okulaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ku gwa kkono. Bw’anaakolanga bw’atyo, ye, n’ezzadde lye banaafuganga mu bwakabaka bwe, mu Isirayiri, okumala ennaku nnyingi.
And that his heart be not lifted up with pride over his brethren, nor decline to the right or to the left, that he and his sons may reign a long time over Israel.
