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,
“When a man takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;
2 omukazi oyo anaayinzanga okwefunira omusajja omulala n’amufumbirwa.
when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
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 the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a wife,
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.
her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.
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 takes a new wife, he does not go out into the host, and [one] does not pass over to him for anything; he is free at his own house [for] one year, and his wife, whom he has taken, he has made glad.
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.
No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.
7 Omuntu bw’anaakwatibwanga ng’awamba, obanga atunda Omuyisirayiri munne mu buddu, kale omuwambi anattibwanga. Bw’otyo bw’onoomalangamu ekibi wakati mu mmwe.
When a man is found stealing a person from his brothers, from the sons of Israel, and has tyrannized over him and sold him, then that thief has died, and you have put away evil out of your midst.
8 Bwe wanaagwangawo obulwadde obw’olususu ng’obw’ebigenge, weegenderezanga nnyo, n’ogonderanga ebyo Abaleevi, bakabona, bye banaabalagiranga okukola, nga bwe mbalagidde.
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; you observe to do as I have commanded them;
9 Ojjukiranga Mukama Katonda wo kye yakola Miryamu nga muli mu lugendo lwammwe nga muva mu Misiri.
remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
10 Bw’owolanga munno ekintu eky’engeri yonna, toyingiranga mu nnyumba ya munno oyo okunonamu omusingo.
When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;
11 Ggwe awoze onaabeeranga wabweru n’olindirira oyo gw’onoobanga owoze, okukuleetera omusingo ogwo.
you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.
12 Gw’owoze bw’anaabanga omwavu, ekyambalo ky’anaabanga akuwadde ng’omusingo, tosulanga nakyo.
And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;
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.
you certainly give back the pledge to him at the going in of the sun, and he has lain down in his own raiment and has blessed you; and it is righteousness to you before your God YHWH.
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.
You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is in your land within your 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.
you give his hire in his day, and the sun does not go in on it, for he [is] poor, and he is supporting his life on it, lest he cries against you to YHWH, and it has been sin in you.
16 Bakitaabwe b’abaana tebattibwenga nga babalanganga abaana baabwe, n’abaana tebattibwenga nga babalanganga bakitaabwe; buli omu anattibwanga ng’alangibwanga ekibi kye ye yennyini.

You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;
18 Ojjukiranga nga bwe wali omuddu mu Misiri, naye Mukama Katonda wo n’akununulayo. Kyenva nkulagira okukolanga bw’otyo.
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you from there; therefore I am commanding you 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 you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in a field, you do not return to take it; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your 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.

and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”
