Ebyabaleevi 17

1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Tegeeza Alooni ne batabani be n’abaana ba Isirayiri bonna, obagambe nti, Kino Mukama ky’alagidde:

Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord has commanded, saying:

3 Omuntu yenna Omuyisirayiri anaawangayo ekiweebwayo eky’ente, oba endiga ento, oba embuzi, munda mu lusiisira oba ebweru w’olusiisira,

Any man at all of the house of Israel, if he will have killed an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp or beyond the camp,

4 nga tagireese ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, okugiwaayo ng’ekirabo ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda mu kisasi ky’Eweema ya Mukama; omuntu oyo anaabanga azzizza omusango ogw’okuyiwa omusaayi; olwokubanga ayiye omusaayi, anaagobwanga n’agaanibwa okukolagananga ne banne.

and not have presented it as an oblation to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle, he shall be guilty of blood. It is just as if he had shed blood; so then, he shall perish from the midst of his people.

5 Ekyo kiri bwe kityo abaana ba Isirayiri balyoke balekeraawo okuweerangayo ebiweebwayo byabwe ebweru mu nnimiro, naye babireetenga awali Mukama Katonda. Kibagwanira okubireetanga eri Mukama babikwasenga kabona ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne biryoka bittibwa nga bye biweebwayo eri Mukama olw’emirembe.

Therefore, the sons of Israel must offer to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, so that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and so that they may immolate them as peace offerings to the Lord.

6 Kabona anaamansiranga omusaayi ku kyoto kya Mukama ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, amasavu n’agookya ne muvaamu akaloosa akalungi akasanyusa Mukama Katonda.

And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and he shall burn the fat as a sweet odor to the Lord.

7 Tebasaana kwongera kuwangayo biweebwayo byabwe eri bakatonda be beekoledde mu kifaananyi ky’embuzi, be bakola nabyo eby’obwamalaaya. Eryo linaabanga tteeka lyabwe lya lubeerera n’okuyita mu mirembe egigenda okuddawo.

And they shall no longer immolate their victims to demons, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an everlasting ordinance for them and for their posterity.

8 “Era bagambe nti, Buli muntu yenna Omuyisirayiri, oba omunnaggwanga yenna abeera mu bo, aliwaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, oba ekiweebwayo eky’engeri yonna,

And you shall say to them: The man of the house of Israel, or of the newcomers who sojourn with you, who offers a holocaust or a victim,

9 nga takireese ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, okukiwaayo eri Mukama Katonda, omuntu oyo anaagobwanga n’agaanibwa okukolagananga ne banne.

and who does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be offered to the Lord, shall pass away from his people.

10 “Omuntu yenna Omuyisirayiri oba ow’omu bannamawanga ababeera mu Isirayiri bw’anaalyanga omusaayi ogw’engeri yonna, nnaamunyiigiranga oyo anaalyanga omusaayi, era nnaamugobanga ne mugaana okukolagananga ne banne.

Any man at all of the house of Israel, or of the newcomers who sojourn among them, if he has eaten blood, I will harden my face against his soul, and I will drive him from his people.

11 Kubanga obulamu bw’ekitonde buli mu musaayi, ate nkibawadde okubatangiririra ku kyoto; omusaayi gwe gutangiririra obulamu bw’omuntu.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you, so that you may atone with it upon the altar for your souls, and so that the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.

12 Noolwekyo Abayisirayiri mbagamba nti tewabanga n’omu mu mmwe anaalyanga omusaayi, era ne munnaggwanga abeera mu mmwe naye taalyenga musaayi.

For this reason, I have said to the sons of Israel: No soul among you shall eat blood, nor among the newcomers who sojourn with you.

13 “Omuyisirayiri yenna, oba omunnaggwanga abeera mu mmwe, bw’anaayigganga ensolo oba ennyonyi nga ya kulya, anaagikenenulangamu omusaayi n’agubikkako ettaka,

Any man at all from the sons of Israel, or from the newcomers who sojourn with you, whether by hunting or bird-catching, if he seizes a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood and cover the earth with it.

14 kubanga obulamu bwa buli kitonde gwe musaayi gwakyo. Abayisirayiri kyenvudde mbagamba nti temulyanga musaayi gwa kitonde eky’engeri yonna, kubanga obulamu bwa buli kitonde gwe musaayi gwakyo, omuntu yenna anaagulyanga anaagobwanga n’agaanibwa okukolagana ne banne.

For the life of all flesh is in the blood. Therefore, I said to the sons of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whoever has eaten it shall perish.

15 “Omuntu yenna omuzaaliranwa oba omunnaggwanga anaalyanga ekintu kyonna ekinaabanga kisangiddwa nga kifu, oba nga kitaaguddwataaguddwa ensolo enkambwe, anaayozanga ebyambalo bye, n’anaaba mu mazzi, era anaabeeranga atali mulongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi; oluvannyuma anaabeeranga mulongoofu.

The soul who eats what has died on its own, or what has been caught by a beast, whether he is native born or a newcomer, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and he shall be contaminated until evening. And by this means he shall be made clean.

16 Naye bw’ataayozenga byambalo bye, n’okunaaba n’atanaaba, ye anaabanga yeeretedde obutali bulongoofu bwe okumusigalako.”

But if he will not wash his clothes and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
