Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 5
1 Awo Musa n’akuŋŋaanya Isirayiri yenna, n’abagamba nti, Wulira, Ayi Isirayiri, amateeka n’ebiragiro bye nkutegeeza ng’owulira ku lunaku lwa leero. Mubiyige era mubigobererenga n’obwegendereza.
And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them.
2 Mukama Katonda waffe yakola naffe endagaano nga tuli e Kolebu.
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Endagaano eyo Mukama Katonda teyagikola ne bazadde baffe, naye yagikola naffe abali wano era abalamu ku lunaku lwa leero.
The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4 Mukama Katonda yayogera nammwe nga mwolekaganye naye, ye ng’asinziira mu muliro ku lusozi olunene.
The LORD spake with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
5 Mu kaseera ako nze nnali nnyimiridde wakati wa Mukama nammwe okubatuusaako ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda, kubanga mmwe mwali mutidde omuliro, noolwekyo ne mutalinnya ku lusozi olunene. N’abagamba nti:
(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid because of the fire, and went not up into the mount; ) saying,
6 “Nze Mukama Katonda wo, eyakuggya mu Misiri, mu nsi gye mwafuulibwa abaddu.
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 “Tobeeranga na bakatonda balala wabula Nze nzekka.
Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
8 Teweekoleranga kintu kyonna ekyole ekifaanana n’ekintu kyonna ekiri waggulu mu ggulu, oba wansi ku nsi, oba ekiri mu mazzi agali wansi w’ensi.
Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, [the likeness of] any form that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
9 Ebyo tobivuunamiranga so tobisinzanga. Kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda wo ndi Katonda wa buggya; mbonereza abaana olw’ebibi bya bakitaabwe n’ebya bajjajjaabwe okutuusa ku mulembe ogwokusatu n’ogwokuna ogw’abo abankyawa.
thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me;
10 Naye abo enkumi n’enkumi abanjagala era abakwata amateeka gange, mbalaga okwagala kwange okutaggwaawo.
and shewing mercy unto thousands, of them that love me and keep my commandments.
11 Tokozesanga linnya lya Mukama Katonda wo ng’olayira ebitaliimu nsa: kubanga Mukama talirema kumusalira musango ne gumusinga omuntu oyo alayirira obwereere erinnya lye.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
12 Olunaku lwa Ssabbiiti lujjukirenga era olutukuzenga, nga Mukama Katonda wo bwe yakulagira.
Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD thy God commanded thee.
13 Kolanga emirimu gyo, ofaabiine mu nnaku omukaaga,
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
14 naye olunaku olw’omusanvu ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama Katonda wo. Ku lunaku olwo tokolerangako mulimu gwonna; ggwe, wadde mutabani wo, wadde muwala wo, wadde omuweereza wo omusajja, oba omuweereza wo omukazi, oba ente yo eya sseddume, oba endogoyi yo, oba ku nte zo endala zonna, oba omugenyi ali omumwo, abaweereza bo abasajja, n’abaweereza bo abakazi, nabo balyoke bawummuleko nga ggwe.
but the seventh day is a sabbath unto the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
15 Ojjukiranga nga wali muweereza mu nsi ey’e Misiri, Mukama Katonda wo n’akuggyayo n’omukono gwe omuwanvu era ogw’amaanyi. Mukama Katonda wo kyeyava akulagira okuumenga olunaku olwa Ssabbiiti.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God brought thee out thence by a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
16 Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa, nga Mukama Katonda wo bwe yakulagira, olyoke owangaale, era obeerenga n’emirembe, mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa.
Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God commanded thee: that thy days may be long, and that it may go well with thee, upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
17 Tottanga.
Thou shalt do no murder.
18 Toyendanga.
Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19 Tobbanga.
Neither shalt thou steal.
20 Towaayirizanga muntu munno.
Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
21 Teweegombanga mukyala wa muntu munno. So teweegombanga nnyumba ya muntu munno, newaakubadde ennimiro ye, newaakubadde omuweereza we omusajja, newaakubadde omuweereza we omukazi, wadde ente ye, oba endogoyi ye, oba ekintu kyonna ekya muntu munno.”
Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s wife; neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
22 Ago ge mateeka Mukama ge yalangirira eri ekibiina kyammwe kyonna, nga muli wansi w’olusozi Sinaayi, ng’ayogera n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka eryava mu muliro, n’ekire, n’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo; teyayongerako birala. Bw’atyo n’agawandiika ku bipande bibiri eby’amayinja, n’abinkwasa.
These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them unto me.
23 Bwe mwawulira eddoboozi nga liva mu kizikiza, ate ng’olusozi lwaka omuliro, ne musembera gye ndi, n’abakulembeze bonna ab’ebika byammwe, n’abakulu bammwe bonna.
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain did burn with fire, that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 Ne mugamba nti, “Laba, Mukama Katonda waffe atulaze ekitiibwa kye n’obukulu bwe, era n’eddoboozi lye ne tuliwulira nga lifuluma wakati mu muliro.
and ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth speak with man, and he liveth.
25 Kale, kaakano tufiira ki? Kubanga omuliro guno omungi bwe guti gujja kutusaanyaawo, tufe tuggweewo, singa twongera okuwulira eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda waffe.
Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
26 Kubanga, ani mu bantu omuntu eyali awulidde ku ddoboozi lya Katonda omulamu ng’ayogerera wakati mu muliro, nga ffe bwe tuliwulidde, n’asigala ng’akyali mulamu?
For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 Ggwe, musemberere, owulirize bulungi byonna Mukama Katonda waffe by’anaayogera. Olyoke otubuulire ebyo byonna Mukama Katonda waffe by’anaakugamba. Tujja kubiwuliriza era tubigondere.”
Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
28 Mukama yawulira ebigambo byammwe, bwe mwayogera nange, Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ebigambo abantu abo bye bakugambye mbiwulidde. Byonna bye boogedde bibadde birungi.
And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
29 Singa nno bulijjo emitima gyabwe gibeera bwe gityo; ne bantya, era ne bagonderanga amateeka gange gonna, ne balyoka balaba ebirungi awamu n’abaana baabwe emirembe gyonna!
Oh that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
30 Genda obagambe baddeyo mu weema zaabwe.
Go say to them, Return ye to your tents.
31 Naye ggwe sigala wano nange, ndyoke nkutegeeze amateeka gonna n’ebiragiro, by’ojja okubayigiriza babikolerengako nga bali mu nsi gye mbawa okubeera obutaka bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira.
But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandment, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32 “Noolwekyo mwegenderezenga nnyo, mukolenga nga Mukama Katonda wammwe bw’abalagidde; mulemenga okukyama okulaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ogwa kkono.
Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 Mutambulirenga mu kkubo Mukama Katonda wammwe ly’abalagidde, mulyoke mubenga balamu, mugaggawale, era muwangaalenga nga muli mu nsi ejja okubeera obutaka bwammwe obw’enkalakkalira.”
Ye shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
