Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 24
1 Omusajja bw’anaawasanga omukazi, naye oluvannyuma n’amukyawa, kubanga amuvumbuddeko ebitamusanyusa, bw’atyo n’amuwandiikira ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba, n’agimukwasa, n’amugoba mu nnyumba ye,
If a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not favour in his eyes, for some uncleanness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 omukazi oyo anaayinzanga okwefunira omusajja omulala n’amufumbirwa.
And when she is departed, and marrieth another husband,
3 Omusajja ono owookubiri naye bw’anaamukyawanga n’amuwandiikira ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba, n’agimukwasa, n’amugoba mu nnyumba ye, oba omusajja oyo owookubiri bw’anaafanga;
And he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and hath sent her out of his house or is dead:
4 bba eyasooka, eyali amugobye takkirizibwenga kuddamu kumuwasa kuba mukazi we, kubanga omukazi oyo anaabanga amaze okwebaka n’omusajja omulala. Ekyo kinaabanga kya kivve mu maaso ga Mukama. Totwalanga kibi mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obutaka bwo obw’enkalakkalira.
The former husband cannot take her again to wife: because she is defiled, and is become abominable before the Lord: lest thou cause thy land to sin, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to possess.
5 Omusajja bw’anaabanga yaakawasa taalondebwenga kugenda kutabaala oba okuweebwa omulimu omulala omunene ng’ogwo. Anaasigalanga mu maka ge okumala ebbanga lya mwaka mulamba ng’asanyusa mukazi we gw’anaabanga awasizza.
When a man hath lately taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any public business be enjoined him, but he shall be free at home without fault, that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
6 Omuntu bw’awolanga munne n’amusaba omusingo, oba akakalu, tamuggyangako lubengo oba enso ng’omusingo oba akakalu, kubanga mu musingo ng’ogwo, aba atwaliddemu obulamu bwa munne.
Thou shalt not take the nether, nor the upper millstone to pledge: for he hath pledged his life to thee.
7 Omuntu bw’anaakwatibwanga ng’awamba, obanga atunda Omuyisirayiri munne mu buddu, kale omuwambi anattibwanga. Bw’otyo bw’onoomalangamu ekibi wakati mu mmwe.
If any man be found soliciting his brother of the children of Israel, and selling him shall take a price, he shall be put to death, and thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.
8 Bwe wanaagwangawo obulwadde obw’olususu ng’obw’ebigenge, weegenderezanga nnyo, n’ogonderanga ebyo Abaleevi, bakabona, bye banaabalagiranga okukola, nga bwe mbalagidde.
Observe diligently that thou incur not the stroke of the leprosy, but thou shalt do whatsoever the priests of the Levitical race shall teach thee, according to what I have commanded them, and fulfill thou it carefully.
9 Ojjukiranga Mukama Katonda wo kye yakola Miryamu nga muli mu lugendo lwammwe nga muva mu Misiri.
Remember what the Lord your God did to Mary, in the way when you came out of Egypt.
10 Bw’owolanga munno ekintu eky’engeri yonna, toyingiranga mu nnyumba ya munno oyo okunonamu omusingo.
When thou shalt demand of thy neighbour any thing that he oweth thee, thou shalt not go into his house to take away a pledge:
11 Ggwe awoze onaabeeranga wabweru n’olindirira oyo gw’onoobanga owoze, okukuleetera omusingo ogwo.
But then shalt stand without, and he shall bring out to thee what he hath.
12 Gw’owoze bw’anaabanga omwavu, ekyambalo ky’anaabanga akuwadde ng’omusingo, tosulanga nakyo.
But if he be poor, the pledge shall not lodge with thee that night,
13 Enjuba bw’eneebanga yaakagwa, onookiddizanga munno oyo alyoke akyebikke ekiro nga yeebase. Bw’atyo anaakwebazanga era kinaabanga kikolwa kya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
But thou shalt restore it to him presently before the going down of the sun: that he may sleep in his own raiment and bless thee, and thou mayst have justice before the Lord thy God.
14 Toyiikirizanga mwavu n’omupakasi ali mu kwetaaga, n’olwawo okumusasula empeera ye; ne bw’anaabanga Omuyisirayiri munno oba ow’okubannamawanga abanaabeeranga mu nsi yo nga basula mu kimu ku bibuga byo.
Thou shalt not refuse the hire of the needy, and the poor, whether he be thy brother, or a stranger that dwelleth with thee in the land, and is within thy gates:
15 Onoomusasulanga empeera ye eya buli lunaku ng’enjuba tennaba kugwa, kubanga mwavu n’omutima gwe gubeera ku mpeera eyo. Kubanga bw’onoomulagajjaliranga, anaayinzanga okukaabirira Mukama Katonda n’akuloopayo, bw’otyo onoogwanga mu musango ogw’ekibi.
But thou shalt pay him the price of his labour the same day, before the going down of the sun, because he is poor, and with it maintaineth his life: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it be reputed to thee for a sin.
16 Bakitaabwe b’abaana tebattibwenga nga babalanganga abaana baabwe, n’abaana tebattibwenga nga babalanganga bakitaabwe; buli omu anattibwanga ng’alangibwanga ekibi kye ye yennyini.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children for the fathers, but every one shall die for his own sin.
17 Bannamawanga b’onoobeeranga nabo, n’abaana bamulekwa, obasaliranga emisango gyabwe n’obwenkanya, era totwalanga kyambalo kya nnamwandu ng’omusingo.
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger nor of the fatherless, neither shalt thou take away the widow’s raiment for a pledge.
18 Ojjukiranga nga bwe wali omuddu mu Misiri, naye Mukama Katonda wo n’akununulayo. Kyenva nkulagira okukolanga bw’otyo.
Remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the Lord thy God delivered thee from thence. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 Bw’onookungulanga ebibala mu nnimiro yo ne weerabirayo ekinywa mu nnimiro, toddangayo kukikima. Onookirekeranga omunnaggwanga oba omwana omufuuzi oba nnamwandu; bw’atyo Mukama alyoke akuwenga omukisa mu byonna by’onookolanga.
When thou hast reaped the corn in thy field, and hast forgot and left a sheaf, thou shalt not return to take it away: but thou shalt suffer the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow to tabs it away: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.
20 Bw’onookubanga emizeeyituuni okuva ku miti gyo, toddangayo ku matabi mulundi gwakubiri okumalirako ddala ebibala ebinaabanga bisigaddeko. Ebyo binaabanga bya bannamawanga, n’abaana bamulekwa ne bannamwandu.
If thou have gathered the fruit of thy olive trees, thou shalt not return to gather whatsoever remaineth on the trees: but shalt leave it for the stranger, for the fatherless, and the widow.
21 Bw’onookungulanga emizabbibu okuva mu nnimiro yo, toddangamu mulundi gwakubiri. Ebibala ebinaabanga bisigaddeko onoobirekeranga bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa ne bannamwandu.
If thou make the vintage of thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the clusters that remain, but they shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.
22 Ojjukiranga nga bwe wali omuddu mu nsi ey’e Misiri; kyenva nkulagira okukolanga bw’otyo.
Remember that thou also wast a bondman in Egypt, and therefore I command thee to do this thing.
