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 see the ox of thy brother or his sheep, going astray, and turn away from them, —thou shalt, bring them back unto 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 unto thee or thou know him not, then shalt thou make room for it within thee own shed and it shall be with thee, until thy brother seek after it, when thou shalt return it unto him.

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.

And, so, shalt thou do with his ass, and, so, shalt thou do with his mantle and, so, shalt thou do with any lost thing of thy brother’s, which shall go astray from him and thou shalt find, —thou mayest not turn away.

4 Bw’onoolabanga endogoyi ya munno, oba ente ye, ng’egudde ku kkubo, togiyitangako buyisi, wabula omuyambanga okugiyimusa.

Thou shalt not see the ass of thy brother or his ox fallen in the way, and turn away from them, —thou shalt, raise, them 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 have on the wearing apparel of a man, nor shall a man put on the mantle of a woman; for an abomination to Yahweh thy God, is any one who doeth these things.

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.

When a bird’s-nest chanceth to be before thee, —in the way, in any tree or upon the ground, whether with nestlings or eggs, and, the mother, be sitting upon the nestlings or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the mother upon the young;

7 Obwana obuto munaayinzanga okubutwala, kyokka nnyina waabwo mumulekanga n’agenda, mulyoke mufunenga emirembe mu mutima awamu n’obuwangaazi.

thou shalt, let go, the mother, and then, her young, mayest thou take for thyself, —that it may go well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

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, then shalt thou make a parapet to thy roof, so shalt thou not treasure up blood-guiltiness against thy house, for he that is in danger of falling might fall therefrom.

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 two sorts of seed, —lest the fulness of the seed which thou sowest, and the increase of thy vineyard be profaned.

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 put on linsey-woolsey, of wool and flax together.

12 Mutunganga emijunga ku buli nsonda ennya ez’eminagiro gyammwe gye munaayambalanga.

Tassels, shalt thou make thee, —on the four corners of thy vesture, wherewith thou dost cover thyself.

13 Omusajja bw’aneewasizanga omukazi, kyokka oluvannyuma lw’okusula naye, n’amukyawa,

When a man taketh a wife, —and goeth in unto her and hateth her;

14 n’amuwaayiriza ng’amukonjera ng’agamba nti, “Nawasa omukazi ono, naye bwe nasula naye saamusanga nga mbeerera,”

and raiseth against her occasions of speech, and bringeth upon her an evil name, and saith—This woman, I took, and approached her, and found not that she had the tokens of virginity,

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.

then shall the father of the damsel and her mother take and bring forth the tokens of the virginity of the damsel, unto the elders of the city, in the gate;

16 Kitaawe w’omuwala anaategeezanga abakulembeze abakulu nti, “Nagabira omusajja ono omwana wange omuwala amuwase, naye omusajja amukyaye.

and the father of the damsel shall say unto the elders, —My daughter, gave I unto this man to wife and he hated 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.

and lo! he, hath raised occasions of speech, saying—I found not that thy daughter had the tokens of virginity and yet, these, are the tokens of the virginity of my daughter. And they shall spread out the garment before the elders of the city.

18 Abakulembeze abakulu b’ekibuga ekyo banaatwalanga bba w’omuwala, banaasookanga okumukubamu.

Then shall the elders of that city take the man, and chastise 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.

and fine him a hundred [shekels] of silver and give unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel, and she shall remain his wife, he may not put her away, all his days.

20 Naye singa omusajja nga by’anaabanga ayogedde bya mazima, nga n’obujulizi obukakasa ng’omuwala yali mbeerera bunaabanga bubuze,

But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found with 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.

then shall they bring forth the damsel into the entrance of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die, because she hath wrought wickedness in Israel, by committing unchastity in her father’s house, —so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.

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.

When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then shall, both, of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel.

23 Bwe wanaabangawo omuwala embeerera ayogerezebwa afumbirwe, omusajja n’amusanga mu kibuga ne yeebaka naye,

When a damsel that is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, —and a man findeth her in the city, and lieth 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.

then shall ye bring them, both, out unto the gate of that city, and stone them with stones that they die, the damsel, because she made not an outcry in the city, and the man because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife, —so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.

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 in the field, the man find the betrothed damsel and the man force her and lie with her, then shall the man that lay with her die he alone;

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.

but, unto the damsel, shalt thou do nothing, the damsel, is not guilty of a sin worthy of death, for as when a man riseth up against his neighbour, and smiteth him so as to take away life, so, is this matter;

27 Olwokubanga omuwala ono anaabanga ayogerezebwa okufumbirwa yasangibwa omusajja ku ttale etali bantu, anaayinzanga okuba nga yeekubira enduulu naye ne watabaawo amudduukirira okumuyamba.

for in the field, he found her, —the betrothed damsel, made an outcry, and there was none to save her.

28 Omusajja bw’anasisinkananga omuwala embeerera naye nga taliiko amwogereza, n’amukwata ne yeebaka naye, ne bakwatibwa nga bali mu kikolwa ekyo,

When a man findeth a damsel that is a virgin who is not betrothed, and layeth hold of her and lieth with her, and they are found,

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.

then shall the man who lay with her give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, —and she shall be, his, wife, because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away, all his days.

30 Omusajja taawasenga mukyala wa kitaawe aleme kuweebuulanga kitiibwa kya buliri bwa kitaawe.

A man shall not take his father’s wife, —neither shall he turn aside his father’s coverlet.
