Okuva 23
1 “Tosaasaanyanga ŋŋambo. Teweegattanga na muntu mubi, ng’owa obujulirwa obw’obulimba bulyoke bumuyambe.
“You shall not accept a lying voice. Neither shall you join your hand so as to give false testimony on behalf of the impious.
2 “Tokolagananga na kibiina ky’omanyi nga bye kiriko bikyamu. Bw’obanga owa obujulirwa mu musango, tokkirizanga kusikibwa kibiina ne kikuweesa obujulizi obw’obulimba nga weekubira ku ludda lwe kiriko;
You shall not follow the crowd in doing evil. Neither shall you go astray in judgment, by agreeing with the majority opinion, apart from the truth.
3 era towanga bujulirwa bukyamu oyambe omuntu yenna olwokubanga mwavu.
Likewise, you shall not show pity in judgment of the poor.
4 “Bw’osanganga ente y’omulabe wo, oba endogoyi ye, ng’ebuzze ogimuddizangayo eka.
If you come across an ox or a donkey of your enemy, which has gone astray, lead it back to him.
5 Bw’olabanga endogoyi y’omuntu atakwagala, ng’omugugu gugisudde wansi, togirekanga, naye omuyambangako okugiyimusa.
If you see the donkey of one who hates you, fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by without lifting it up with him.
6 “Tolemanga kusalirawo muntu nsonga ze mu bwenkanya, olwokubanga mwavu.
You shall not deviate in judgment of the poor.
7 Teweeyingizanga mu nsonga za bulimba, era tottanga muntu atalina kibi oba atazzizza musango, kubanga aliko omusango sigenda kumwejjeereza.
You shall flee from lies. The innocent and the just you shall not kill. For I shun the impious.
8 “Tolyanga nguzi, kubanga enguzi eziba omuntu amaaso n’ekyamya n’abatuukirivu.
Neither shall you accept bribes, which blind even the prudent and subvert the words of the just.
9 “Temuwalagganyanga munnaggwanga, kubanga mmwe bennyini mumanyi nga bwe kiri okuba bannaggwanga, kubanga mwali bannaggwanga mu nsi y’e Misiri.
You shall not harass a sojourner, for you know the life of a newcomer. For you yourselves also were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
10 “Mu myaka omukaaga osigirangamu emmere yo mu nnimiro zo era n’ogikungula;
For six years, you shall sow your land and gather its produce.
11 naye mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu ettaka olirekanga ne liwummula, abaavu mu mmwe basobolenga okulya ku mmere okuva mu bimererezi; eneefikkangawo ebisolo by’omu nsiko binaagiryanga. Era bw’otyo bw’onookolanga n’ennimiro zo ez’emizabbibu n’ez’emizeeyituuni.
But in the seventh year, you shall release it and cause it to rest, so that the poor of your people may eat. And whatever remains, let the beasts of the field eat it. So shall you do with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12 “Mu nnaku omukaaga mw’okoleranga emirimu gyo, naye ku lunaku olw’omusanvu tokolanga, ente yo n’endogoyi yo ziryoke zisobole okuwummulako; ne mutabani w’omuweereza wo, ne munnaggwanga ali mu maka go bawummuleko baddemu endasi.
For six days, you shall work. On the seventh day, you shall cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the newcomer and the son of your handmaid may be refreshed.
13 “Weegenderezanga n’okolanga byonna bye nkulagidde. Bakatonda abalala toboogerangako, era amannya gaabwe tegayitanga mu kamwa ko.
Preserve all that I have said to you. And by the names of foreign gods you shall not swear; neither shall these be heard from your mouth.
14 “Ononkoleranga embaga emirundi esatu buli mwaka.
Three times in each year, you shall celebrate feasts to me.
15 “Onookolanga Embaga ey’Emigaati Egitali Mizimbulukuse. Onoolyanga omugaati ogutaliimu kizimbulukusa okumala ennaku musanvu, nga bwe nakulagira. Kino okikolanga mu kiseera ekyategekebwa, mu mwezi gwa Abibu, kubanga mu mwezi ogwo mwe waviira mu nsi y’e Misiri. “Tewabangawo ajja gye ndi engalo ensa.
You shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, at the time of the month of new grain, when you departed from Egypt. You shall not appear empty-handed in my sight,
16 “Onookolanga Embaga ey’Amakungula ey’ebibala ebibereberye eby’ebirime bye wasiga mu nnimiro yo. “Onookolanga Embaga ey’Amayingiza buli nkomerero ya mwaka, bw’onookuŋŋaanyanga ebibala by’omu nnimiro, n’obiyingiza.
for it is the solemnity of the harvest of the first-fruits of your work, of whatever you have sown in the field. Likewise, it is a solemnity at the end of the season, when you will have gathered in all your crops from the field.
17 “Abasajja bonna banajjanga awali Mukama Katonda emirundi egyo esatu buli mwaka.
Three times a year, all your males shall appear before the Lord your God.
18 “Temuwangayo kintu kyonna gye ndi ekirimu ekizimbulukusa nga mundeetedde ssaddaaka erimu omusaayi; n’amasavu aga ssaddaaka yange tegasulangawo kutuusa nkeera.
You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven, nor shall the fat of my solemnity remain until morning.
19 “Ebibala ebisinga obulungi mu ebyo ebisoose okuva mu ttaka lyo obitwalanga mu nnyumba ya Mukama Katonda wo. Tofumbanga akaana k’embuzi mu mata ga nnyina waako.
You shall carry the first grain of the land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not cook a young goat in the milk of its mother.
20 “Laba, ntuma malayika akukulembere, akutuuse bulungi mu kifo kye nteeseteese.
Behold, I will send my Angel, who will go before you, and preserve you on your journey, and lead you into the place that I have prepared.
21 Omuwulirizanga, era ogonderanga by’agamba. Tomujeemeranga; bw’olijeema tagenda kukusonyiwa, kubanga aliba akola mu Linnya lyange.
Heed him, and hear his voice, and do not hold him in disregard. For he will not release you when you have sinned, and my name is in him.
22 Naye bw’onoowulirizanga eddoboozi lye, n’okola nga bwe ŋŋamba, kale nnaakyawanga abakukyawa, n’abalabe bo banaabanga balabe bange.
But if you listen to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will afflict those who afflict you.
23 Malayika wange alikwesooka mu maaso akukulemberenga akutuuse mu nsi y’Abamoli, ne mu y’Abakiiti, ne mu y’Abaperezi, ne mu y’Abakanani, ne mu y’Abakiivi, ne mu y’Abayebusi, nange ndibazikiririza ddala.
And my Angel will go before you, and he will bring you to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, whom I will crush.
24 Tovuunamiranga bakatonda baabwe, so tobaweerezanga, era tokwatanga mpisa zaabwe, wabula obabetetaranga ddala, n’omenyaamenya n’empagi zaabwe.
You shall not adore their gods, nor worship them. You shall not do their works, but you shall destroy them and break apart their statues.
25 Oweerezanga Mukama Katonda wo yekka, emmere yo n’amazzi go ndyoke mbiwe omukisa. Ndiggyawo endwadde mu mmwe;
And you shall serve the Lord your God, so that I may bless your bread and your waters, and so that I may take away sickness from your midst.
26 tewaabengawo mugumba wadde avaamu olubuto. Ennaku z’obulamu bwo zonna nnaazituukirizanga.
There will not be fruitless or barren ones in your land. I will fill up the number of your days.
27 “Nnaasindikanga ekikangabwa mu mawanga agaagala okukwolekera, ne ntabulatabula abo bonna abanaakwegezangamu, era abalabe bo nnaabafuumuulanga emisinde.
I will send my terror to run ahead of you, and I will kill all the people to whom you will enter. And I will turn the backs of all your enemies before you,
28 Ndisindika ennumba ne zikukulembera, ne zigoba Abakiivi, n’Abakanani, n’Abakiiti ne bakuviira mu kkubo lyo.
sending wasps ahead, so that they will put to flight the Hivite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, before you enter.
29 Naye mu nsi omwo siribagobamu mu mwaka gumu, ebikande bireme kusukkirira, n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko ne zaala ne zibayitirira obungi.
I will not cast them out from your face in one year, lest the land be reduced to a wilderness and the wild beasts increase against you.
30 Nzijanga kubagobamu mpola mpola, okutuusa nga mwaze ne mulyoka mulya ensi eyo.
I will expel them little by little from your sight, until you have expanded and may possess the land.
31 “Ndisala ensalo zammwe okuva ku Nnyanja Emyufu okutuuka ku Nnyanja y’Abafirisuuti, n’okuva ku ddungu okutuuka ku Mugga Fulaati. Abantu b’omu nsi omwo ndibabawa, ne mubagobamu.
Then I will set your limits to be from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Palestinians, and from the desert all the way to the river. I will deliver into your hands the inhabitants of the land, and I will cast them out from your sight.
32 Temukolanga nabo ndagaano, wadde ne bakatonda baabwe.
You shall not enter into a pact with them, nor with their gods.
33 Temubakkirizanga kubeera mu nsi yammwe, tebalwa kubanyoomesa biragiro byange; kubanga singa muweereza bakatonda baabwe muliba mugudde mu mutego.”
They may not live on your land, lest perhaps they may cause you to sin against me, if you serve their gods, which certainly would be a temptation for you.”
