Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 22
1 Bw’olabanga ente ya munno, oba endiga ye, ng’ebula okuva ewaabayo, togirekanga bulesi ne weesuulirayo ogwa nnaggamba naye ogikwatanga n’ogizzaayo ewa nnyiniyo.
Thou shalt not pass by if thou seest thy brother’s ox, or his sheep go astray: but thou shalt bring them back to thy brother.
2 Nannyini yo bw’abanga tasula kumpi naawe, obanga nannyini yo tomumanyi, ogireetanga mu maka go n’obeeranga nayo okutuusa nannyini yo lw’alijja ng’aginoonya; olwo nno n’olyoka ogimuddiza.
And if thy brother be not nigh, or thou know him not: thou shalt bring them to thy house, and they shall be with thee until thy brother seek them, and receive them.
3 Okolanga bw’otyo ng’osanze endogoyi ya munno, obanga olonze ekyambalo kya munno, oba ekintu kyonna ekirala munno ky’anaabanga abuliddwa kyokka ggwe n’okironda. Tolemanga kuyamba munno ng’ali mu buzibu, ate nga wandisobodde okumuyamba. Obusobozi bw’onoobanga nabwo okuyamba munno tobumukwekanga.
Thou shalt do in like manner with his ass, and with his raiment, and with every thing that is thy brother’s, which is lost: if thou find it, neglect it not as pertaining to another.
4 Bw’onoolabanga endogoyi ya munno, oba ente ye, ng’egudde ku kkubo, togiyitangako buyisi, wabula omuyambanga okugiyimusa.
If thou see thy brother’s ass or his ox to be fallen down in the way, thou shalt not slight it, but shalt lift it up with him.
5 Omukazi taayambalenga ngoye za kisajja, so n’omusajja taayambalenga ngoye za kikazi; kubanga abakola ebyo Mukama Katonda wammwe abakyayira ddala.
A woman shall not be clothed with man’s apparel, neither shall a man use woman’s apparel: for he that doeth these things is abominable before God.
6 Temutwalanga Nnyonyi Nzadde. Bwe munaalabanga ekisu ky’ennyonyi ku muti, oba ku mabbali g’ekkubo, nga kirimu amagi oba obwana obuto, nga ne nnyina waabwo abumaamidde, oba atudde ku magi, bwe munaatwalanga obwana obuto, nnyina waabwo temumutwalirangako.
If thou find as thou walkest by the way, a bird’s nest in a tree, or on the ground, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs: thou shalt not take her with her young:
7 Obwana obuto munaayinzanga okubutwala, kyokka nnyina waabwo mumulekanga n’agenda, mulyoke mufunenga emirembe mu mutima awamu n’obuwangaazi.
But shalt let her go, keeping the young which thou hast caught: that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst live a long time.
8 Bwe muneezimbiranga enju empya ey’akasolya akatereevu akatali keesulifu, mukolangako akasenge waggulu okwebungulula akasolya ako, kalyoke kaziyizenga omuntu okuva eyo waggulu n’agwa wansi, n’aleeteranga ennyumba eyo omusango olw’omusaayi ogunaabanga guyiise.
When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a battlement to the roof round about: lest blood be shed in thy house, and thou be guilty, if any one slip, and fall down headlong.
9 Wakati w’ennyiriri z’emizabbibu temusimbangamu mmere ya ngeri ndala, bwe munaakikolanga, ebibala by’emizabbibu n’eby’emmere gye munaabanga musimbyemu, byombi munaabifiirwanga.
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest both the seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of the vineyard, be sanctified together.
10 Ente n’endogoyi temuzigattanga wamu ne muzisibanga ku kikoligo kye kimu eky’ekyuma kye munaabanga mulimisa.
Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together.
11 Temwambalanga ngoye ezinaabanga zirukiddwa n’ewuzi z’ebyoya by’endiga nga zigattiddwa wamu n’ewuzi eza linena.
Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of woollen and linen together.
12 Mutunganga emijunga ku buli nsonda ennya ez’eminagiro gyammwe gye munaayambalanga.
Thou shalt make strings in the hem at the four corners of thy cloak, wherewith thou shalt be covered.
13 Omusajja bw’aneewasizanga omukazi, kyokka oluvannyuma lw’okusula naye, n’amukyawa,
If a man marry a wife, and afterwards hate her,
14 n’amuwaayiriza ng’amukonjera ng’agamba nti, “Nawasa omukazi ono, naye bwe nasula naye saamusanga nga mbeerera,”
And seek occasions to put her away, laying to her charge a very ill name, and say: I took this woman to wife, and going in to her, I found her not a virgin:
15 Kitaawe w’omuwala oyo ne nnyina banaaleeteranga abakulembeze abakulu ab’ekibuga ekyo, nga bali ku wankaaki waakyo, obujulizi obunaalaganga ng’omuwala waabwe yali mbeerera.
Her father and mother shall take her, and shall bring with them the tokens of her virginity to the ancients of the city that are in the gate:
16 Kitaawe w’omuwala anaategeezanga abakulembeze abakulu nti, “Nagabira omusajja ono omwana wange omuwala amuwase, naye omusajja amukyaye.
And the father shall say: I gave my daughter unto this man to wife: and because he hateth her,
17 Kaakano wuuno amuwaayiriza ng’amukonjera ng’amwogerako nti, Muwala wo namusanga nga si mbeerera.” Naye obujulizi buubuno obulaga ng’omwana wange ono omuwala yali mbeerera. Abazadde b’omuwala banaayanjululizanga essuuka y’obuliri mu maaso g’abakulembeze abakulu ab’ekibuga ekyo.
He layeth to her charge a very ill name, so as to say: I found not thy daughter a virgin: and behold these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the ancients of the city:
18 Abakulembeze abakulu b’ekibuga ekyo banaatwalanga bba w’omuwala, banaasookanga okumukubamu.
And the ancients of that city shall take that man, and beat him,
19 Ate ne bamusalira omutango gwa sekeri za ffeeza kikumi; banaaziwanga kitaawe w’omuwala; kubanga omusajja oyo anaabanga aleese erinnya ebbi ku muwala wa Isirayiri embeerera. Omuwala oyo anaabeeranga mu maka g’omusajja oyo ebbanga lyonna, era omusajja takkirizibwenga kugoba mukazi we oyo ebiro byonna omusajja oyo by’alimala nga mulamu.
Condemning him besides in a hundred sides of silver, which he shall give to the damsel’s father, because he hath defamed by a very ill name a virgin of Israel: and he shall have her to wife, and may not put her away all the days of his life.
20 Naye singa omusajja nga by’anaabanga ayogedde bya mazima, nga n’obujulizi obukakasa ng’omuwala yali mbeerera bunaabanga bubuze,
But if what he charged her with be true, and virginity be not found in the damsel:
21 kale nno omuwala oyo anaaleetebwanga ku muzigo gw’ennyumba ya kitaawe, era abasajja ab’omu kibuga ky’omuwala oyo banaamukubiranga awo amayinja n’afa. Kubanga anaabanga akoze ekikolwa kya bugwenyufu nnyo eky’okumanya abasajja ng’akyali mu luggya lwa kitaawe. Ekibi musaananga mukimalemu mu Isirayiri.
They shall cast her out of the doors of her father’s house, and the men of the city shall stone her to death, and she shall die: because she hath done a wicked thing in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee.
22 Omusajja bw’anaakwatibwanga nga yeebase n’omukyala w’omusajja omulala, kale, omusajja akwatiddwa n’omukyala gw’anaabanga yeebase naye, bombi baakuttibwanga. Ekibi musaana mukimalengamu mu Isirayiri.
If a man lie with another man’s wife, they shall both die, that is to say, the adulterer and the adulteress: and thou shalt take away the evil out of Israel.
23 Bwe wanaabangawo omuwala embeerera ayogerezebwa afumbirwe, omusajja n’amusanga mu kibuga ne yeebaka naye,
If a man have espoused a damsel that is a virgin, and some one find her in the city, and lie with her,
24 munaabaleetanga bombi ku wankaaki w’ekibuga ekyo ne mubakuba amayinja ne bafa; omuwala, bwe kibanga nga yali munda mu kibuga naye n’atakuba nduulu kufuna buyambi; omusajja, kubanga yayonoona omuwala ajja okufumbirwa omusajja we. Bwe mutyo bwe munaamalangamu ekibi mu mmwe.
Thou shalt bring them both out to the gate of that city, and they shall be stoned: the damsel, because she cried not out, being in the city: the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife. And thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.
25 Naye omusajja bw’anaasanganga omuwala ayogerezebwa ku ttale n’amukwata ne yeebaka naye olw’empaka, kale nno omusajja anaabanga yeebase n’omuwala oyo y’anattibwanga.
But if a man find a damsel that is betrothed, in the field, and taking hold of her, lie with her, he alone shall die:
26 Omuwala oyo temumukolangako kintu kyonna, kubanga anaabanga talina kibi kyonna ky’akoze ekinaamusaanyizanga okufa. Ensonga ezo zifaanana ng’ez’omuntu anaabanga alumbaganye muliraanwa we n’amutemula.
The damsel shall suffer nothing, neither is she guilty of death: for as a robber riseth against his brother, and taketh away his life, so also did the damsel suffer:
27 Olwokubanga omuwala ono anaabanga ayogerezebwa okufumbirwa yasangibwa omusajja ku ttale etali bantu, anaayinzanga okuba nga yeekubira enduulu naye ne watabaawo amudduukirira okumuyamba.
She was alone in the field: she cried, and there was no man to help her.
28 Omusajja bw’anasisinkananga omuwala embeerera naye nga taliiko amwogereza, n’amukwata ne yeebaka naye, ne bakwatibwa nga bali mu kikolwa ekyo,
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not espoused, and taking her, lie with her, and the matter come to judgment:
29 omusajja anaabanga yeebase n’omuwala oyo anaasasulanga kitaawe w’omuwala sekeri eza ffeeza amakumi ataano. Omusajja anaawasanga omuwala oyo okuba mukazi we, kubanga anaabanga amaze okumusobyako. Era taamugobenga okumala ebbanga lyonna omusajja oyo nga mulamu.
He that lay with her shall give to the father of the maid fifty sides of silver, and shall have her to wife, because he hath humbled her: he may not put her away all the days of his life.
30 Omusajja taawasenga mukyala wa kitaawe aleme kuweebuulanga kitiibwa kya buliri bwa kitaawe.
No man shall take his father’s wife, nor remove his covering.
