Ebyabaleevi 18
1 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 “Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, I am the Lord your God.
3 Temusaana kweyisanga mu bikolwa byammwe ng’ab’omu Misiri, gye mwabeeranga, bwe beeyisa, era temusaana kweyisanga ng’ab’omu Kanani, gye mbatwala, bwe beeyisa. Temutambuliranga mu mateeka gaabwe.
After ye doings of the land of Egypt, wherin ye dwelt, shall ye not doe: and after the maner of the land of Canaan, whither I will bring you, shall ye not do, neither walke in their ordinances,
4 Munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange, munaakwatanga amateeka gange, era mwe munaatambuliranga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
But do after my iudgements, and keepe mine ordinances, to walke therein: I am the Lord your God.
5 Mugonderenga ebiragiro byange awamu n’amateeka gange, kubanga buli muntu anaabikwatanga mu byo mwanaatambulizanga obulamu bwe. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
Ye shall keepe therefore my statutes, and my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall then liue in them: I am the Lord.

And the land is defiled: therefore I wil visit the wickednesse thereof vpon it, and the lande shall vomit out her inhabitants.

And shall not the lande spue you out if ye defile it, as it spued out the people that were before you?)

For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that doe so, shall bee cut off from among their people.
30 Mukwatenga amateeka gange, nga mwewalanga okukola ebyonoono ebyo ebikyayibwa eby’amayisa amabi, abo abaabasooka ge beeyisanga si kulwa nga gabafuula abatali balongoofu. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.’”
Therefore shall yee keepe mine ordinances that ye do not any of the abominable customes, which haue bene done before you, and that yee defile not your selues therein: for I am the Lord your God.
