Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 27
1 Awo Musa ng’ali n’abakulu abakulembeze ba Isirayiri n’alagira abantu nti, “Ebiragiro byonna bye mbategeeza leero mubikuumenga.
And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that I command you this day.
2 Bwe mumalanga okusomoka omugga Yoludaani n’oyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, oddiranga amayinja amanene n’ogategeka n’ogakubako omuyiko ogw’ennoni ng’etabuddwamu omusenyu.
And it shall come to pass in the day when ye shall cross over Jordan into the land which the Lord thy God gives thee, that thou shalt set up for thyself great stones, and shalt plaster them with plaster.
3 Ogawandiikangako ebigambo bino byonna eby’amateeka, ng’omaze okusomoka, ng’oyingidde mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, y’ensi omukulukutira amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, nga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabo bwe yakusuubiza.
And thou shalt write on these stones all the words of this law, as soon as ye have crossed Jordan, when ye are entered into the land, which the Lord God of thy fathers gives thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, according as the Lord God of thy fathers said to thee.
4 Bw’otyo, bw’olimala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, otegekanga amayinja ago ku Lusozi Ebali nga bwe mbalagira kaakano, era ogakubangako omuyiko ogw’ennoni ng’etabuddwamu omusenyu.
And it shall be as soon as ye are gone over Jordan, ye shall set up these stones, which I command thee this day, on mount Gaebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
5 Era Mukama Katonda wo olimuzimbira eyo ekyoto n’amayinja amalamba agatali matemeko na kyuma.
And thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God, an altar of stones; thou shalt not lift up iron upon it.
6 Olizimbira eyo Mukama Katonda wo ekyoto n’amayinja amalamba n’oweerako ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wo.
Of whole stones shalt thou build an altar to the Lord thy God, and thou shalt offer upon it whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord thy God.
7 Oliwaayo ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’obiriira eyo ng’osanyukira mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
And thou shalt there offer a peace-offering; and thou shalt eat and be filled, and rejoice before the Lord thy God.
8 Era ku mayinja ago g’oliba otegese oliwandiikako n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna eby’amateeka gano.”
And thou shalt write upon the stones all this law very plainly.
9 Awo Musa ng’ali n’Abaleevi, bakabona, n’agamba Abayisirayiri bonna nti, “Sirika owulire ggwe Isirayiri! Ku lunaku lwa leero lwennyini ofuuse eggwanga lya Mukama Katonda wo.
And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hear, O Israel; this day thou art become a people to the Lord thy God.
10 Noolwekyo ogonderanga Mukama Katonda wo n’okwatanga amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkulagira leero.”
And thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and shalt do all his commands, and his ordinances, as many as I command thee this day.
11 Ku lunaku lwe lumu Musa yakuutira abantu bw’ati nti,
And Moses charged the people on that day, saying,
12 Bwe mulimala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, ab’omu bika bino baliyimirira ku Lusozi Gerizimu ne basabira abantu omukisa: Simyoni, ne Leevi, ne Yuda, ne Isakaali, ne Yusufu, ne Benyamini.
These shall stand to bless the people on mount Garizin having gone over Jordan; Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 Ate ab’omu bika bino baliyimirira ku Lusozi Ebali ne balangirira ebikolimo: Lewubeeni, ne Gaadi, ne Aseri, ne Zebbulooni, ne Ddaani, ne Nafutaali.
And these shall stand for cursing on mount Gaebal; Ruben, Gad, and Aser, Zabulon, Dan, and Nephthali.
