Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 30
1 Emikisa n’ebikolimo ebyo byonna bye nkutegeezezza, bwe binaakutuukangako n’ojjukiranga ng’oli eyo mu nsi ezo zonna Mukama Katonda wo gy’anaabanga akusaasaanyizza,
And it shall come to pass when all these things shall have come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thy face, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, wherein the Lord shall have scattered thee,
2 n’okyuka n’odda eri Mukama Katonda wo, n’omugonderanga, n’abaana bo bonna, n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna, nga bwe nkulagira leero,
and shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice, according to all things which I charge thee this day, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;
3 kale Mukama Katonda wo anaakusaasiranga n’akuzza mu mbeera yo ennungi eneekweyagazanga, ng’akuwumbyewumbye okukuggya eyo gy’anaabanga akusaasaanyirizza.
then the Lord shall heal thine iniquities, and shall pity thee, and shall again gather thee out from all the nations, among which the Lord has scattered thee.
4 Newaakubadde onoobanga owaŋŋangusiriddwa mu nsi esinga okubeera ey’ewala ennyo wansi w’eggulu, Mukama Katonda wo anaakukuŋŋaanyangayo, n’akuggyayo n’akukomyawo.
If thy dispersion be from one end of heaven to the other, thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and thence will the Lord thy God take thee.
5 Mukama Katonda wo anaakukomyangawo mu nsi bajjajjaabo gye baafuna, naawe onoogifunanga. Alikugaggawaza era n’akwaza nnyo okukira bajjajjaabo.
And the Lord thy God shall bring thee in from thence into the land which thy fathers have inherited, and thou shalt inherit it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
6 Mukama Katonda wo alikomola omutima gwo, n’omutima gwa bazzukulu bo, bw’otyo oyagalanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna, olyoke obeerenga omulamu.
And the Lord shall purge thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
7 Mukama Katonda wo aliteeka ebikolimo ebyo byonna ku balabe bo ne ku abo abanaakuyigganyanga.
And the Lord thy God will put these curses upon thine enemies, and upon those that hate thee, who have persecuted thee.
8 Bw’otyo n’oddamu okugonderanga Mukama Katonda ng’okwata amateeka ge, ge nkulagira leero.
And thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and shall keep his commands, all that I charge thee this day.
9 Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda wo alikugaggawaza mu buli kintu kyonna ky’onookolanga, mu bibala eby’omubiri gwo, ne mu bibala eby’ebisolo byo, ne mu bibala eby’ettaka lyo. Mukama alisanyuka nnyo okukugaggawazanga n’obeeranga bulungi, nga bwe kyamusanyusanga okugaggawazanga bajjajjaabo,
And the Lord thy God shall bless thee in every work of thine hands, in the offspring of thy body, and in the offspring of thy cattle, and in the fruits of thy land, because the Lord thy God will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 ng’ogondeddenga Mukama Katonda wo, n’okwatanga amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye ebiwandiikiddwa mu Kitabo eky’Amateeka kino, n’odda eri Mukama Katonda wo n’omukyukiranga n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna.
if thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his judgments written in the book of this law, if thou turn to the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11 Etteeka lye nkulagira leero terisaana kukukaluubirira, kubanga terikuli wala nnyo.
For this command which I give thee this day is not grievous, neither is it far from thee.
12 Teriri mu ggulu, n’okugamba ne kikugambisa nti, “Ani anaatulinnyirayo mu ggulu n’atulireeterayo tulyoke tuliwulire tuligonderenga?”
It is not in heaven above, [as if there were one] saying, Who shall go up for us into heaven, and shall take it for us, and we will hear and do it?
13 So teriri mitala wa nnyanja, olyoke ogambe nti, “Ani anaatusomokera ennyanja, alituleetere tuwulire bye ligamba, tuligondere?”
Neither is it beyond the sea, saying, Who will go over for us to the other side of the sea, and take it for us, and make it audible to us, and we will do it?
14 Nedda, ekigambo kiri kumpi ddala ne w’oli, kiri mu kamwa ko ne mu mutima gwo, olyoke okigondere.
The word is very near thee, in thy mouth, and in thine heart, and in thine hands to do it.
15 Kale laba, olwa leero ntadde mu maaso go obulamu n’okufa.
Behold, I have set before thee this day life and death, good and evil.
16 Kubanga nkulagira leero okwagalanga Mukama Katonda wo, okutambuliranga mu makubo ge, awamu n’okukwatanga amateeka ge n’okugobereranga ebiragiro bye byonna. Bw’onookolanga bw’otyo ojjanga kuba mulamu era oyale, ne Mukama Katonda wo anaakuwanga omukisa ng’oli mu nsi gy’oyingira okugifuna.
If thou wilt hearken to the commands of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to love the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his ordinances, and his judgments; then ye shall live, and shall be many in number, and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all the land into which thou goest to inherit it.
17 Naye omutima gwo bwe gunaakyamanga n’otowulira, era bw’onoosendebwasendebwanga okusinzanga bakatonda abalala n’okubaweerezanga,
But if thy heart change, and thou wilt not hearken, and thou shalt go astray and worship other gods, and serve them,
18 mbalangirira leero nti, Mugenda kuzikirizibwa; era temuliwangaala mu nsi gy’ogenda okusomokera omugga Yoludaani okugiyingira okugifuna.
I declare to you this day, that ye shall utterly perish, and ye shall by no means live long upon the land, into which ye go over Jordan to inherit it.
19 Ku lunaku lwa leero nkoowoola eggulu n’ensi nga be bajulirwa bange, ku mmwe, abategedde nga ntadde mu maaso gammwe, obulamu n’okufa; n’emikisa n’ebikolimo. Kale nno londawo obulamu, olyoke obeerenga mulamu, ggwe n’ezzadde lyo:
I call both heaven and earth to witness this day against you, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: choose thou life, that thou and thy seed may live;
20 ng’oyagalanga Mukama Katonda wo, ng’owuliranga eddoboozi lye, era nga weekwatira ddala ku ye. Kubanga Mukama bwe bulamu bwo n’okuwangaala; alyoke akuwenga emyaka mingi mu nsi Mukama gye yalayirira okugiwa bajjajjaabo: Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo.
to love the Lord thy God, to hearken to his voice, and cleave to him; for this [is] thy life, and the length of thy days, that thou shouldest dwell upon the land, which the Lord sware to thy fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.
