Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 29

1 Bino bye bigambo by’endagaano Mukama Katonda gye yalagira Musa okukola n’abaana ba Isirayiri nga bali mu nsi ya Mowaabu, ng’egattibwa ku ndagaano gye yali akoze nabo ku Kolebu.

These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab: beside that covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

2 Awo Musa n’ayita Abayisirayiri bonna n’abagamba nti, Mwalaba n’amaaso gammwe ebyo byonna Mukama Katonda bye yakolera mu nsi y’e Misiri ku Falaawo ne ku bakungu be, ne ku nsi ye yonna.

And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: You have seen all the things that the Lord did before you in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land.

3 Walaba n’amaaso go ebigezo ebinene, n’obubonero obw’ebyamagero, n’ebyewuunyisa ebikulu.

The great temptations, which thy eyes have seen, those mighty signs and wonders,

4 Naye n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero Mukama tabawanga mutima ogutegeera, oba amaaso agalaba, oba amatu agawulira.

And the Lord hath not given you a heart to understand, and eyes to see, and ears that may hear, unto this present day.

5 Bwe nabakulembera okumala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu engoye zammwe tezaakaddiwako, n’engatto y’omu kigere kyo teyakaddiwa.

He hath brought you forty years through the desert: your garments are not worn out, neither are the shoes of your feet consumed with age.

6 Temwalya ku mugaati wadde okunywa ku nvinnyo, oba ku kyokunywa ekirala kyonna ekitamiiza. Ekyo nakikola mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.

You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I am the Lord your God.

7 Bwe mwatuuka mu kifo kino, Sikoni kabaka w’e Kesuboni, ne Ogi kabaka w’e Basani, ne basituka okutulwanyisa, naye ne tubawangula.

And you came to this place: sand Sehon king of Hesebon, and Og king of Basan, came out against us to fight. And we slew them.

8 Twatwala ensi yaabwe, ne tugigabira Abalewubeeni, n’Abagaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika eky’Abamanase, okuba obutaka bwabwe obw’ensikirano.

And took their land, and delivered it for a possession to Ruben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses.

9 Noolwekyo mukwatenga ebigambo by’endagaano eno n’obwegendereza, mulyoke muwangulenga mu buli kimu kye munaakolanga.

Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and fulfill them: that you may understand all that you do.

10 Mukuŋŋaanye wano leero mwenna mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wammwe, nga muli n’abakulembeze b’ebika byammwe, n’abakulu bammwe abakulembeze, n’abafuzi bammwe, n’abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri,

You all stand this day before the Lord your God, your princes, and tribes, and ancients, and doctors, all the people of Israel,

11 n’abaana bammwe abato, ne bakazi bammwe, ne munnaggwanga asula awamu naawe mu lusiisira lwo, okukutyabira enku, n’okukukimira amazzi.

Your children and your wives, and the stranger that abideth with thee in the camp, besides the hewers of wood, and them that bring water:

12 Oli wano okukola endagaano ne Mukama Katonda wo, ng’ekirayiro gy’ali, Mukama Katonda wo gy’akola naawe leero;

That thou mayst pass in the covenant of the Lord thy God, and in the oath which this day the Lord thy God maketh with thee.

13 alyoke akukakase ng’akunyweza leero okubeeranga eggwanga lye, naye nga ye Katonda wo, nga bwe yakusuubiza, era nga bwe yalayirira bakadde bo: Ibulayimu ne Isaaka.

That he may raise thee up a people to himself, and he may be thy God as he hath spoken to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14 Endagaano eno gye nkola, ng’eriko n’ekirayiro kyayo,

Neither with you only do I make this covenant, and confirm these oaths,

15 sigikola nammwe abayimiridde wano naffe leero mwekka, wabula ngikola wamu n’oyo atali wano naffe leero.

But with all that are present and that are absent.

16 Mujjukira bulungi nga bwe twali mu nsi y’e Misiri, ne bwe twajjanga tuyita wakati mu mawanga okutuukira ddala wano.

For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we have passed through the midst of nations, and passing through them,

17 Mwalabanga ebintu eby’ekikaafiiri, nga mwe mwalinga ebifaananyi ebibajje mu miti n’ebiwoole mu mayinja ne mu ffeeza ne mu zaabu.

You have seen their abominations and filth, that is to say, their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they worshipped.

18 Mukakasize ddala leero nga mu maka gammwe oba mu bika byammwe temulinaamu musajja oba mukazi n’omu akyamizza omutima gwe okuva ku Mukama Katonda waffe agende asinze bakatonda bali abalala abamawanga ago. Mukakasize ddala nga mu mmwe temuliimu kikolo okuyinza okukula obutwa obw’engeri eyo obukaawa ng’omususa.

Lest perhaps there should be among you a man or a woman, a family or a tribe, whose heart is turned away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations: and there should be among you a root bringing forth gall and bitterness.

19 Omuntu ow’engeri ng’eyo ng’awulidde ebigambo eby’ekikolimo kino n’amala yeeyibaala, ne yeetukuza ku bubwe yekka, n’alowooza munda ye nti, “Nzija kubeera bulungi newaakubadde nga mmaliridde okukwata ekkubo eryange ery’obujeemu,” ekyo kinaaletanga akacwano ku ttaka erinnyogovu obulungi ne ku kkalu.

And when he shall hear the words of this oath, he should bless himself in his heart saying: I shall have peace, and will walk on in the naughtiness of my heart: and the drunken may consume the thirsty,

20 Mukama taamusonyiwenga, kubanga obusungu bwa Mukama n’ekiruyi kye binaabuubuukiranga ku muntu oyo. Ebikolimo byonna ebiwandiikiddwa mu Kitabo kino binaamukkangako, era Mukama alisangula erinnya lye n’aliggya wansi w’eggulu.

And the Lord should not forgive him: but his wrath and jealousy against that man should be exceedingly enkindled at that time, and all the curses that are written in this volume should light upon him: and the Lord should blot out his name from under heaven,

21 Mukama anaamwawulanga n’amuggya mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri n’amubonereza nnyo, nga bwe kiri mu bikolimo byonna eby’endagaano ebiwandiikiddwa mu Kitabo ky’Amateeka kino.

And utterly destroy him out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses that are contained in the book of this law and covenant:

22 Abaana bammwe abaliddawo ne bannamawanga abaliva mu nsi ezeewala baliraba ekibonerezo ekiriba kigudde ku nsi n’obulwadde Mukama bw’aliba aleese ku ttaka ly’ensi.

And the following generation shall say, and the children that shall be born hereafter, and the strangers that shall come from afar, seeing the plagues of that land and the evils wherewith the Lord hath afflicted it,

23 Ettaka liriba lyonoonese nga lya munnyo n’amayinja agookya, nga tekuyinza kusimbibwako kintu wadde okubaako n’ekimerako, nga n’omuddo tegusobola kumerako. Ensi erifaanana ng’okuzikirizibwa kwa Sodomu, ne Ggomola, ne Aduma, ne Zeboyimu, Mukama bye yazikiriza mu busungu bwe obungi.

Burning it with brimstone, and the heat of salt, so that it cannot be sown any more, nor any green thing grow therein, after the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord destroyed in his wrath and indignation:

24 Amawanga galyebuuza nga geewunya nti, “Lwaki Mukama akoze ekintu kino, n’akikola n’obusungu obungi butyo?”

And all the nations shall say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land? what meaneth this exceeding great heat of his wrath?

25 Na kino kye kiriba eky’okuddamu nti, “Kubanga abantu bano basudde eri endagaano ya Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe, endagaano gye yakola nabo bwe yabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri.

And they shall answer: Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, which he made with their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:

26 Baagenda ne basinza bakatonda abalala, ne babaweereza, bakatonda be baali batamanyi, era Katonda waabwe be yali tabawadde.

And they have served strange gods, and adored them, whom they knew not, and for whom they had not been assigned:

27 Bwe butyo obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuukira ku nsi eyo, n’agireetako ebikolimo byonna ebiwandiikiddwa mu Kitabo kino.

Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this volume:

28 Mukama n’abasiguukulula mu nsi yaabwe ng’aliko ekiruyi, era ng’ajjudde obusungu bungi, n’abakasuka mu nsi endala, nga bwe kiri leero.”

And he hath cast them out of their land, in anger and in wrath, and in very great indignation, and hath thrown them into a strange land, as it is seen this day.

29 Ebintu eby’ekyama bya Mukama Katonda waffe, naye ebyo ebyabikkulibwa bye byaffe n’abaana baffe emirembe gyonna, tulyoke tugonderenga ebigambo byonna ebiri mu mateeka gano.

Secret things to the Lord our God: things that are manifest, to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
