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.
The following are the terms of the agreement that the Lord ordered Moses to make with the Israelites in the country of Moab This was in addition to the agreement he had made with them at 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.
Moses called all the Israelites together and announced to them, You saw with your own eyes everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to his whole country.
3 Walaba n’amaaso go ebigezo ebinene, n’obubonero obw’ebyamagero, n’ebyewuunyisa ebikulu.
You saw with your own eyes the amazing tests, and those great signs and miracles.
4 Naye n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero Mukama tabawanga mutima ogutegeera, oba amaaso agalaba, oba amatu agawulira.
But up to now the Lord has not given you minds that understand, or eyes that see, or ears that hear, saying,
5 Bwe nabakulembera okumala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu engoye zammwe tezaakaddiwako, n’engatto y’omu kigere kyo teyakaddiwa.
For forty years I led you through the desert, but your clothes and sandals didn't wear out.
6 Temwalya ku mugaati wadde okunywa ku nvinnyo, oba ku kyokunywa ekirala kyonna ekitamiiza. Ekyo nakikola mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
You didn't have bread to eat, or wine or alcohol to drink in order that you would realize 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.
When we arrived here, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan marched out to fight us in battle, but we defeated them.
8 Twatwala ensi yaabwe, ne tugigabira Abalewubeeni, n’Abagaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika eky’Abamanase, okuba obutaka bwabwe obw’ensikirano.
We took their land and gave it to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh to own.
9 Noolwekyo mukwatenga ebigambo by’endagaano eno n’obwegendereza, mulyoke muwangulenga mu buli kimu kye munaakolanga.
So make sure you keep and follow the terms of this agreement in order that you may be successful in everything 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,
Every one of you is stand here today before the Lord your God: you tribal leaders, officials, and all the men 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 wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your firewood and carry your water.
12 Oli wano okukola endagaano ne Mukama Katonda wo, ng’ekirayiro gy’ali, Mukama Katonda wo gy’akola naawe leero;
You're here so you can enter into the agreement of the Lord your God, which he is making with you today, and accept his solemn promise,
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.
and so he can confirm you today as his people. He will be your God as he told you and as he promised your forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 Endagaano eno gye nkola, ng’eriko n’ekirayiro kyayo,
It's not only with you that the Lord is making this agreement and solemn promise,
15 sigikola nammwe abayimiridde wano naffe leero mwekka, wabula ngikola wamu n’oyo atali wano naffe leero.
those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God, but also with those who are not here today.
16 Mujjukira bulungi nga bwe twali mu nsi y’e Misiri, ne bwe twajjanga tuyita wakati mu mawanga okutuukira ddala wano.
You know very well what it was like when we lived in the land of Egypt and our experiences as we passed through the nations on the way here.
17 Mwalabanga ebintu eby’ekikaafiiri, nga mwe mwalinga ebifaananyi ebibajje mu miti n’ebiwoole mu mayinja ne mu ffeeza ne mu zaabu.
You saw their disgusting religious practices and their idols of wood and stone, and silver and gold.
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.
You need to make sure today that there's no man or woman, family or tribe of yours who wants to turn from the Lord our God and go and worship the gods of these nations. Make sure there is nothing like that among you that would produce such poison 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.
For when someone like that hears the words of this solemn promise, they think they'll still receive a blessing, telling themselves, “I'll be safe, even though I'll go on doing whatever I feel like.” Such an attitude would destroy good and bad alike.
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.
The Lord would never want to pardon them. In fact, his passionate anger will burn against them, and every curse written in this book will fall on them. The Lord will erase their name from the earth,
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 punish them as an example of them for all the Israelite tribes, in accordance with all the curses of the agreement written in this Book of the Law.
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.
Later generations, your descendants and foreigners from far away, will see how the Lord has brought disaster on the country and devastated 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.
The whole country will be burning wasteland of sulfur and salt. Nothing is sown; it's totally unproductive; no plant grows there—just like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed in his furious anger.
24 Amawanga galyebuuza nga geewunya nti, “Lwaki Mukama akoze ekintu kino, n’akikola n’obusungu obungi butyo?”
Everyone everywhere will ask, “Why did the Lord do this to the country? Why did he get so terribly angry?”
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.
The people will answer, “It's because they abandoned the agreement of the Lord, the God of their forefathers, which he made with them when he led them out of Egypt.
26 Baagenda ne basinza bakatonda abalala, ne babaweereza, bakatonda be baali batamanyi, era Katonda waabwe be yali tabawadde.
They went off and worshiped other gods, bowing down to gods they'd never heard of—gods that the Lord had not given to them.
27 Bwe butyo obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuukira ku nsi eyo, n’agireetako ebikolimo byonna ebiwandiikiddwa mu Kitabo kino.
That's why the Lord was so angry with this land, and he rained down on it every curse written in this book.
28 Mukama n’abasiguukulula mu nsi yaabwe ng’aliko ekiruyi, era ng’ajjudde obusungu bungi, n’abakasuka mu nsi endala, nga bwe kiri leero.”
The Lord uprooted them from their country in his anger, rage, and fury, and he threw them out, leaving them in another land, where they are to 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.
The Lord our God has secrets that belong to him, but what has been revealed belong to us and to our descendants forever, so that we may follow everything in this law.
