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 hath been, when all these things come upon thee, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before thee, and thou hast brought [them] back unto thy heart, among all the nations whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee away,
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 hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hearkened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day, thou and thy sons, 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 hath Jehovah thy God turned back [to] thy captivity, and pitied thee, yea, He hath turned back and gathered thee out of all the peoples whither Jehovah thy God hath 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 thine outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, thence doth Jehovah thy God gather thee, and thence He doth take thee;
5 Mukama Katonda wo anaakukomyangawo mu nsi bajjajjaabo gye baafuna, naawe onoogifunanga. Alikugaggawaza era n’akwaza nnyo okukira bajjajjaabo.
and Jehovah thy God hath brought thee in unto the land which thy fathers have possessed, and thou hast inherited it, and He hath done thee good, and multiplied 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 Jehovah thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life;
7 Mukama Katonda wo aliteeka ebikolimo ebyo byonna ku balabe bo ne ku abo abanaakuyigganyanga.
and Jehovah thy God hath put all this oath on thine enemies, and on those hating thee, who have pursued thee.
8 Bw’otyo n’oddamu okugonderanga Mukama Katonda ng’okwata amateeka ge, ge nkulagira leero.
'And thou dost turn back, and hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and hast done all His commands which I am commanding thee to-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 Jehovah thy God hath made thee abundant in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good; for Jehovah turneth back to 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.
for thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which are written in the book of this law, for thou turnest back unto Jehovah thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
11 Etteeka lye nkulagira leero terisaana kukukaluubirira, kubanga terikuli wala nnyo.
'For this command which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not too wonderful for thee, nor [is] it far off.
12 Teriri mu ggulu, n’okugamba ne kikugambisa nti, “Ani anaatulinnyirayo mu ggulu n’atulireeterayo tulyoke tuliwulire tuligonderenga?”
It is not in the heavens, — saying, Who doth go up for us into the heavens, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it — that we may do it.
13 So teriri mitala wa nnyanja, olyoke ogambe nti, “Ani anaatusomokera ennyanja, alituleetere tuwulire bye ligamba, tuligondere?”
And it [is] not beyond the sea, — saying, Who doth pass over for us beyond the sea, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it — that we may do it?
14 Nedda, ekigambo kiri kumpi ddala ne w’oli, kiri mu kamwa ko ne mu mutima gwo, olyoke okigondere.
For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in thy heart — to do it.
15 Kale laba, olwa leero ntadde mu maaso go obulamu n’okufa.
'See, I have set before thee to-day life and good, and death 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.
in that I am commanding thee to-day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and thou hast lived and multiplied, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in the land whither thou art going in to possess it.
17 Naye omutima gwo bwe gunaakyamanga n’otowulira, era bw’onoosendebwasendebwanga okusinzanga bakatonda abalala n’okubaweerezanga,
'And if thy heart doth turn, and thou dost not hearken, and hast been driven away, and hast bowed thyself to other gods, and served them,
18 mbalangirira leero nti, Mugenda kuzikirizibwa; era temuliwangaala mu nsi gy’ogenda okusomokera omugga Yoludaani okugiyingira okugifuna.
I have declared to you this day, that ye do certainly perish, ye do not prolong days on the ground which thou art passing over the Jordan to go in thither to possess 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 have caused to testify against you to-day the heavens and the earth; life and death I have set before thee, the blessing and the reviling; and thou hast fixed on life, so that thou dost live, thou and thy seed,
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 Jehovah thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] thy life, and the length of thy days), to dwell on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.'
