Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 26
1 Awo olulituuka bw’omalanga okuyingira mu nsi, Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obusika bwo obw’enkalakkalira, ng’omaze okugyefunira era ng’otebenkedde bulungi,
'And it hath been, when thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance, and thou hast possessed it, and dwelt in it,
2 oddiranga ebimu ku bibala ebibereberye by’oliggya mu makungula agalisooka okuva mu ttaka ery’oku nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, n’obiteeka mu kibbo. Kale nno obireetanga mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo kye yeerondera okubeerangamu Erinnya lye.
that thou hast taken of the first of all the fruits of the ground which thou dost bring in out of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast put [it] in a basket, and gone unto the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.
3 Ogambanga kabona alibeera mu kisanja mu kiseera ekyo nti, “Njatula leero eri Mukama Katonda wo nti ntuuse mu nsi Mukama gye yalayirira bajjajjaffe okugituwa.”
'And thou hast come in unto the priest who is in those days, and hast said unto him, I have declared to-day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come in unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to our fathers to give to us;
4 Kabona aliggya ekibbo mu mikono gyo n’akitereeza mu maaso g’ekyoto kya Mukama Katonda wo.
and the priest hath taken the basket out of thy hand, and placed it before the altar of Jehovah thy God.
5 Kale nno oliyatula mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo nti, “Jjajjaffe yali mutambuze Omusuuli, n’aserengeta mu Misiri n’abantu be yali nabo abatono, ne babeera eyo, ne bafuukamu eggwanga ekkulu ery’amaanyi era nga lirimu abantu bangi nnyo.
'And thou hast answered and said before Jehovah thy God, A perishing Aramaean [is] my father! and he goeth down to Egypt, and sojourneth there with few men, and becometh there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous;
6 Naye Abamisiri ne batuyisa bubi, ne batubonyaabonya, nga batukozesa emirimu emikakanyavu.
and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put on us hard service;
7 Bwe tutyo ne tukaabirira Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaffe; Katonda n’awulira eddoboozi lyaffe, n’alaba okubonaabona kwaffe, n’okutegana kwaffe, n’okunyigirizibwa kwaffe kwonna.
and we cry unto Jehovah, God of our fathers, and Jehovah heareth our voice, and seeth our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression;
8 Bw’atyo Mukama n’atuggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi gwe yagolola, n’obuyinza bwe obw’entiisa, n’obubonero, n’ebyamagero eby’ekitalo.
and Jehovah bringeth us out from Egypt, by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by wonders,
9 Yatuleeta mu kifo kino n’atuwa ensi eno, ensi omukulukutira amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
and he bringeth us in unto this place, and giveth to us this land — a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Bwe ntyo ndeese gy’oli ebibala ebibereberye ebiva mu ttaka ery’omu nsi gy’ompadde, Ayi Mukama.” Olibiteeka mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo n’ovuunama mu maaso ge.
'And now, lo, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which thou hast given to me, O Jehovah; — and thou hast placed it before Jehovah thy God, and bowed thyself before Jehovah thy God,
11 Kale nno, ggwe awamu n’Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga abanaabeeranga mu mmwe, onoojaguzanga ng’osanyukira ebirungi byonna, Mukama Katonda wo by’anaabanga akuwadde ggwe n’amaka go gonna.
and rejoiced in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in thy midst.
12 Mu mwaka ogwokusatu bw’onoomalanga okuggyako ku makungula go ekitundu eky’ekkumi n’okissa wabbali, kubanga ogwo gwe mwaka ogw’ekitundu eky’ekkumi, onoddiranga ekitundu ekyo n’okiwa Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa, ne bannamwandu, ne baliiranga mu bibuga byo ne bakkuta.
'When thou dost complete to tithe all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then thou hast given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within thy gates, and been satisfied,
13 Awo onooyogeranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo nti, “Ekitundu ekimu eky’ekkumi ekyatukuzibwa nkiggyayo mu maka gange ne nkigabira Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa, ne bannamwandu, nga byonna bye wandagira bwe biri. Sikyamyeko kuva ku biragiro byo newaakubadde okwerabira n’ekimu ku byo.
and thou hast said before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and also have given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Thy command which Thou hast commanded me; I have not passed over from Thy commands, nor have I forgotten.
14 Ekitundu ekyo sikiriddeeko nga ndi mu biseera eby’okukungubaga, wadde okukikwatako nga siri mulongoofu, era sikitoddeeko ne mpaayo eri abafu. Ŋŋondedde Mukama Katonda wange, ne nkola nga bwe yandagira.
I have not eaten in mine affliction of it, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me;
15 Otutunuulire ng’osinziira mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu gy’obeera mu ggulu, otuyiweko omukisa gwo ffe abantu bo Abayisirayiri n’ensi gy’otuwadde nga bwe walayirira bajjajjaffe, nga y’ensi omukulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.”
look from Thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Thy people Israel, and the ground which Thou hast given to us, as Thou hast sworn to our fathers — a land flowing [with] milk and honey.
16 Mukama Katonda wo akulagira leero okugonderanga amateeka ago gonna n’ebiragiro ebyo; noolwekyo obigonderanga byonna n’omutima gwo gwonna n’emmeeme yo yonna.
'This day Jehovah thy God is commanding thee to do these statutes and judgments; and thou hast hearkened and done them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
17 Ku lunaku lwa leero oyatudde nga Mukama bw’ali Katonda wo, era nga naawe bw’onootambuliranga mu makubo ge, era ng’onookuumanga ebiragiro bye n’amateeka ge gonna, era ng’onoomugonderanga.
Jehovah thou hast caused to promise to-day to become thy God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to hearken to His voice.
18 Ku lunaku lwa leero Mukama alangiridde nga bw’oli owuwe, eggwanga lye ku bubwe ery’omuwendo omungi nga bwe yasuubiza, era nga ojjanga kukwatanga ebiragiro bye byonna.
'And Jehovah hath caused thee to promise to-day to become His people, a peculiar treasure, as He hath spoken to thee, and to keep all His commands;
19 Alangiridde nga bw’anaakujjuzanga ettendo n’okwatiikirira n’ekitiibwa okusukkirira amawanga gonna ge yatonda, era ng’olibeera eggwanga ettukuvu eri Mukama Katonda wo, nga bwe yasuubiza.
so as to make thee uppermost above all the nations whom He hath made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for thy being a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as He hath spoken.
