Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 7
1 Mukama Katonda wo bw’akutuusanga mu nsi mw’ojja okuyingira, ogyetwalire okuba obutaka bwo, nga n’amawanga mangi amaze okugagobamu, n’amawanga gano omusanvu agakusinga obunene n’amaanyi: Abakiiti, n’Abagirugaasi, n’Abamoli, n’Abakanani, n’Abaperezi, n’Abakiivi, n’Abayebusi,
When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land where thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 Mukama Katonda wo ng’amaze okugagabula mu mukono gwo, ng’obawangudde, kikugwanira obazikiririze ddala. Tokolanga nabo ndagaano, so tobakwatirwanga kisa.
And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them:
3 Tofumbiriganwanga nabo. Towangayo muwala wo kufumbirwanga mutabani we, oba mutabani we okuwasanga muwala wo.
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give to his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take to thy son.
4 Kubanga bagenda kukyamya mutabani wo alekerengaawo okugoberera Mukama, baweerezenga bakatonda abalala; era obusungu bwa Mukama bunaababuubuukirangako n’akuzikiriza mangu.
For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 Naye bwe muti bwe munaakolanga: Munaamenyanga ebyoto bya bakatonda baabwe, ne mwasaayasa amayinja gaabwe ge bawonga, ne mubetentabetenta empagi zaabwe eza Asera, ne mwokya bakatonda baabwe mu muliro.
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 Kubanga oli ggwanga ttukuvu eri Mukama. Mukama Katonda wo yakulonda okuva mu mawanga gonna agali ku nsi okubeeranga eggwanga lye, lye yeefunira ly’asuuta ennyo.
For thou art an holy people to the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people to himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
7 Mukama okugenda okubalonda n’okubaagala ennyo bw’atyo; si lwa kubanga mwe mwali musinga amawanga amalala gonna obungi; nedda, mwe mwali musinga obutono mu mawanga gonna.
The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 Naye lwa kubanga Mukama Katonda yabaagala, n’akuuma endagaano gye yakola ne bajjajjammwe, n’abanunula n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi ng’abaggya mu nsi ey’obuddu, n’abawonya obuyinza bwa Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri.
But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn to your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Noolwekyo osaananga okukitegeeranga nga Mukama Katonda wo ye Katonda; Katonda omwesigwa akuuma endagaano ye ey’okwagala okutaggwaawo eri abamwagala era abagondera ebiragiro bye okutuuka ku mirembe olukumi.
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 Naye abo abamukyawa alibeesasuza n’okuzikirizibwa; tagenda kulwawo kwesasuza oyo amukyawa.
And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Noolwekyo weegenderezenga nnyo ogonderenga amateeka n’ebiragiro bye nkugamba olunaku lwa leero.
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12 Bwe munaakwatanga amateeka ago, ne mugagonderanga n’obwegendereza, ne Mukama Katonda wo agenda kukuumanga endagaano ye, gye yakola ne bajjajjaabo ey’okwagala kwe okutaggwaawo.
Therefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep to thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
13 Agenda kukwagalanga, akuwenga omukisa; era alikwaza ne weeyongera obungi. Aliwa omukisa ezzadde lyo n’ebibala eby’oku ttaka lyo, n’emmere yo ey’empeke, ne wayini wo, n’amafuta go, n’ennyana ez’ente zo, n’abaana ab’endiga zo, ng’oli mu nsi Mukama gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo, okugikuwa.
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy grain, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy cattle, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he swore to thy fathers to give thee.
14 Onoofunanga omukisa okusinga amawanga amalala gonna; tewaabengawo musajja oba mukazi mugumba mu mmwe, wadde ente zammwe ezitaazaalenga.
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15 Mukama takkirizenga ndwadde yonna kukukwata. So taakuleeterenga ndwadde ezo ez’akabi, ze wamanyanga, ez’e Misiri, naye anaazireeteranga abo bonna abakukyawa.
And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16 Onoozikirizanga abo bonna Mukama Katonda b’anaakuwanguzanga, tobatunuulizanga liiso lya kisa, tobabbiranga ku liiso. So toweerezanga bakatonda baabwe, kubanga ogwo gugendanga kukufuukira mutego.
And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver to thee; thy eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare to thee.
17 Oyinza okwebuuza mu mutima gwo nti, “Amawanga ag’amaanyi gatyo okutusinga, tulisobola tutya okugagoba mu nsi zaago?”
If thou shalt say in thy heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Naye amawanga ago togatyanga; ojjukiranga Mukama Katonda wo kye yakola Falaawo ne Misiri yonna.
Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
19 Weerabirako n’amaaso go gennyini ebibonoobono, n’obubonero obw’ebyamagero, n’eby’ekyewuunyo, Mukama bye yakozesa okukuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri n’omukono gwe omuwanvu ogw’amaanyi. Mukama Katonda wo bw’atyo bw’anaakolanga amawanga ago gonna g’otya.
The great temptations which thy eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do to all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20 Ate Mukama Katonda wo anaaweerezanga ennumba mu balabe bo ne zibaluma, okutuusa n’abo abanaabanga basigaddewo mu lutalo, nga beekwese, lwe ziribazikiririza ddala.
Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, shall be destroyed.
21 Tobatyanga, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo abeera wakati mu mmwe, mukulu era wa ntiisa.
Thou shalt not be terrified of them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22 Mukama Katonda wo amawanga ago anaagendanga agaggyawo linnalimu, mpola mpola. Toligazikiriza gonna mulundi gumu, si kulwa ng’ensolo ez’omu nsiko zaala ne zikuyitirira obungi.
And the LORD thy God will drive out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 Naye Mukama Katonda wo anaagagabulanga mu mukono gwo n’ageeraliikirizanga ng’agatabuddetabudde, okutuusa lwe ganaazikirizibwanga.
But the LORD thy God shall deliver them to thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they are destroyed.
24 Anaagabulanga bakabaka baago mu mukono gwo n’osangulira ddala amannya gaabwe okuva wansi w’eggulu. Tewaabengawo muntu n’omu anaayimiriranga mu maaso go okukwaŋŋanga, ojjanga kubazikiriza.
And he shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou shalt have destroyed them.
25 Ebifaananyi ebyole ebya bakatonda baabwe munaabyokyanga mu muliro. Teweegombanga zaabu na ffeeza anaabibeerangako. So tomwetwaliranga alemenga kukufuukira mutego; kubanga ekikolwa ekyo kya muzizo eri Mukama Katonda wo.
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it to thee, lest thou shouldest be snared in it: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
26 Toyingizanga mu nnyumba yo kintu kyonna ekyomuzizo, olemenga kuba mukolimire ng’ekintu ekyo bwe kiri. Onookikyayiranga ddala era onookitamirwanga ddala, kubanga kyakolimirwa.
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou shouldest be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
