Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 23
1 “Omuntu yenna ng’ebitundu by’omubiri gwe eby’ekyama byabetentebwa oba nga byasalibwako, taayingirenga mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda.
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
2 “Abantu bonna abanaazaalibwanga mu bufumbo obutaabenga butukuvu tebaayingirenga mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda. Bazzukulu baabwe okutuusa ku mulembe ogw’ekkumi, nabo tebayingiranga mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda.
A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
3 “Abamoni n’Abamowaabu ne bazzukulu baabwe okutuusa ku mulembe ogw’ekkumi tebayingiranga mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda.
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of Jehovah for ever:
4 Kubanga bwe mwali muva mu nsi y’e Misiri, tebajja kubaaniriza n’okubaleetera ku mmere ne ku mazzi; ate ne bapangisa Balamu mutabani wa Byoli nga bamuggya e Pesoli eky’omu Mesopotamiya, okubakolimira.
because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5 Kyokka Mukama Katonda wo n’alemesa Balamu; ekikolimo n’akikufuuliramu omukisa, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo akwagala nnyo.
Nevertheless Jehovah thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but Jehovah thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee.
6 Tokolanga nabo endagaano ey’omukwano n’okubayamba mu mbeera yaabwe ebbanga lyonna ly’olimala ng’oli mulamu.
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
7 “Omwedomu tomukyawanga kubanga omulinako oluganda. Tokyawanga Mumisiri n’omu kubanga wali mugenyi mu nsi yaabwe.
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land.
8 Abaana baabwe ab’omulembe ogwokusatu banaakkirizibwanga okuyingira mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda.
The children of the third generation that are born unto them shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
9 “Bw’onoogendanga okutabaala abalabe bo weewalenga obutali bulongoofu mu lusiisira lwammwe.
When thou goest forth in camp against thine enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every evil thing.
10 Bwe wanaabangawo omusajja mu mmwe eyeeroteredde ekiro, bw’atyo n’aba atali mulongoofu, anaafulumanga mu lusiisira n’abeera ebweru.
If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of that which chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
11 Naye obudde bwe bunaawungeeranga anaanaabanga n’amazzi; enjuba bw’eneemalanga okugwa anaayinzanga okukomawo mu lusiisira.
but it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12 “Onootegekanga ekifo ebweru w’olusiisira ky’onoolagangamu okweteewuluza.
Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13 Onoogendangayo n’eby’okukozesa. Onootwalanga ekifumu, bw’onoomalanga okweteewuluza onoosimanga ekinnya n’oziikamu ebyo ebivudde mu nda yo.
and thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14 Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo anaatambulanga naawe, mu lusiisira lwo ng’akulabirira n’okukuyamba okuwangula abalabe bammwe. Noolwekyo olusiisira lwo kirusaanira lubeerenga lutukuvu, Mukama alemenga kusangamu kintu kyonna ekitali kirongoofu mu ggwe ne kimuleeteranga okukuvaako.
for Jehovah thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
15 “Omuddu omugule bw’anaabombanga n’ava ku mukama we mu nsi endala, n’ajja ne yeekweka gy’oli, tomuzzangayo wa mukama we.
Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a servant that is escaped from his master unto thee:
16 Omulekanga n’abeera naawe wakati mu mmwe, mu kimu ku bibuga byo ky’aneerobozanga. Tomujooganga.
he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it pleaseth him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
17 “Mu bawala ba Isirayiri temukkirizibwenga kubeerangamu bamalaaya ab’omu masabo, n’abasajja abalya ebisiyaga nabo tebakkirizibwenga mu Isirayiri.
There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18 Toleetanga nsimbi, bamalaaya ze banaabanga bafunye mu bwamalaaya, mu nnyumba ya Mukama Katonda wo okusasulira obweyamo, wadde ensimbi z’abasajja abalya ebisiyaga; kubanga Mukama Katonda wo akyayira ddala ebikolwa ebyo byombi.
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.
19 “Omuyisirayiri bw’anaawolanga Muyisirayiri munne ensimbi, oba emmere, oba ebintu ebirala byonna, bw’anaabanga asasulwa tasabirangako magoba gaabyo.
Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that is lent upon interest.
20 Bw’onoowolanga bannaggwanga onoobasabirangako amagoba gaako; Mukama Katonda wo alyoke akuwenga omukisa ku buli ky’onookwatangako engalo ng’otuuse mu nsi gy’oli okumpi okuyingira n’okugyefunira.
Unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.
21 “Bw’oneeyamanga obweyamo eri Mukama tolwangawo kubutuukiriza, kubanga ddala ddala Mukama Katonda wo agenda kukikulagira olyoke weewonye omusango olw’ekibi ekyo.
When thou shalt vow a vow unto Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it: for Jehovah thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
22 Naye bw’oteeyamanga bweyamo toobeerengako musango.
But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
23 Ebyo byonna akamwa ko bye kanaayogeranga kikugwanira okubikolanga, mu ngeri y’emu nga bw’onoobanga weeyamye obweyamo eri Mukama Katonda wo n’akamwa ko.
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed unto Jehovah thy God, a freewill-offering, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
24 “Bw’onooyingiranga mu nnimiro ya munno ey’emizabbibu, onooyinzanga okwenogeranga ku birimba by’emizabbibu n’olya nga bw’oneetaaganga n’okkuta, naye tossangako mu kibbo okwetwalirako eka.
When thou comest into thy neighbor’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat of grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
25 Bw’onooyingiranga mu nnimiro ya munno ey’emmere ey’empeke, onooyinzanga okwekungulirangako n’engalo zo, naye toddiranga kambe n’osala emmere y’empeke eyo eneebanga tennaba kusalibwa.”
When thou comest into thy neighbor’s standing grain, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbor’s standing grain.
