Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 6
1 “Kale nno, bino bye biragiro, n’amateeka, Mukama Katonda wammwe bye yandagira okubayigiriza, mubikwatenga era mubigonderenga, nga mumaze okusomoka omugga Yoludaani nga muyingidde mu nsi ejja okubeera obutaka bwammwe obw’enkalakkalira.
Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land that you go over to possess;
2 Bw’otyo ggwe n’abaana bo, n’abaana b’abaana bo oluvannyuma lwabwe, olyoke otyenga Mukama Katonda wo ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo, ng’ogondera amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkuwa leero; olyoke owangaalenga.
that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
3 Noolwekyo, wulira, Ayi Isirayiri, ogonderenga ebiragiro ebyo n’obwegendereza, ebintu byonna bikugenderenga bulungi, mulyoke muzaale mwalenga nnyo, mu nsi ekulukuta n’amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, nga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabo bwe yakusuubiza.
Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 “Wulira, Ayi Isirayiri: Mukama Katonda waffe ali omu.
Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one.
5 Oyagalanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’omwoyo gwo gwonna, n’amaanyi go gonna.
You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
6 Amateeka gano ge nkuwa leero ogakwatanga ku mutima gwo.
These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;
7 Ogayigirizanga abaana bo n’obwegendereza. Ogoogerengako bw’onoobanga otudde mu maka go, ne bw’onoobanga otambula mu kkubo, bw’onoobanga ogalamiddeko, ne bw’onoobanga ogolokose.
and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
8 Onoogasibanga ku mikono gyo, nga bwe bubonero obw’okukujjukizanga, era ogatekanga ne ku kyenyi kyo.
You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
9 Onoogawandiikanga ku myango gy’ennyumba yo, era ne ku nzigi zo.
You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates.
10 “Mukama Katonda wammwe bw’alimala okukutuusa mu nsi gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo: Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo okugibawa, nga mulimu ebibuga ebinene ebikulaakulana, by’otaazimba,
It shall be, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities which you didn’t build,
11 n’amayumba agajjudde buli kintu kyonna ekirungi, ky’otaateekamu, n’enzizi z’otaasima, n’ennimiro z’emizabbibu n’emizeeyituuni z’otaasimba; kale, bw’onoomalanga okulya n’okkuta,
and houses full of all good things which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;
12 weekuumenga olemenga okwerabira Mukama eyakuggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri eyali ey’obuddu.
then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 “Otyanga Mukama Katonda wo. Ye gw’obanga oweereza yekka, era mu linnya lye lyokka mw’obanga olayiriranga.
You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.
14 Temuweerezanga bakatonda balala, bakatonda b’amawanga aganaabanga gabeetoolodde;
You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you,
15 kubanga Mukama Katonda wo, ali wakati mu mmwe, Katonda wa buggya; obusungu bwe bugenda kukubuubuukirangako, akuzikirize, akumalewo ku nsi.
for Yahweh your God among you is a jealous God, lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 Temugezesanga Mukama Katonda wammwe, nga bwe mwakola nga muli e Masa.
You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
17 Munyiikirenga okukuumanga n’okugonderanga amateeka n’ebiragiro Mukama Katonda wammwe by’akuwadde.
You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
18 Okolanga ebyo Mukama by’akkiriza ebituufu era ebirungi; olwo olyoke obe bulungi ng’oyingidde mu nsi eyo ennungi Mukama gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo okugibawa,
You shall do that which is right and good in Yahweh’s sight, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers,
19 ng’agobyemu abalabe bo bonna, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yasuubiza.
to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken.
20 “Mu biseera ebirijja, omwana wo bw’akubuuzanga nti, Ebyo byonna ebinnyonnyola buli kalonda, n’amateeka, n’ebiragiro Mukama Katonda waffe bye yabalagira, bitegeeza ki?
When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?”
21 Omuddangamu nti, ‘Twali baddu ba Falaawo mu nsi ey’e Misiri, naye Mukama Katonda n’atuggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi.
then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
22 Mukama Katonda n’alaga obubonero obw’ekitalo, n’akola ebyamagero ebinene era ebitatendeka ku Misiri ne ku Falaawo n’ab’omu maka ge bonna, nga naffe tulaba.
and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
23 N’atuggyayo n’atuyingiza muno alyoke atuwe ensi eno gye yalayirira bajjajjaffe okugibawa.
and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
24 Mukama n’atulagira okukwatanga amateeka gano gonna n’okugagonderanga, n’okutyanga Mukama Katonda waffe ennaku zonna, alyoke atukuumenga nga tuli mu mbeera ennungi, era nga tuli balamu, nga bwe tuli leero.
Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are today.
25 Era singa tuneegenderezanga ne tukwata amateeka gano gonna ne tugagonderanga, mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda waffe, nga bwe yatulagira, tunaabanga tutuukirizza ebyo by’ayagala.’”
It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”
