Ebyabaleevi 18
1 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to 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 the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelled, shall you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall you not do: neither shall you walk in their ordinances.
4 Munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange, munaakwatanga amateeka gange, era mwe munaatambuliranga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
You shall do my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk 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.
You shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6 “‘Tewabanga omuntu yenna mu mmwe ajja eri munne gw’alinako oluganda ne yeebaka naye. Nze Mukama.
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 “‘Toleeteranga kitaawo buswavu ng’okola ebyensonyi ne nnyoko. Oyo ye maama wo eyakuzaala, teweebakanga naye ne mukola ebyensonyi, n’omuleetako obuswavu.
The nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, shall you not uncover: she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 “‘Teweebakanga na muka kitaawo ne mukola ebyensonyi, ekyo kireetera kitaawo obuswavu ne kimumalamu ekitiibwa.
The nakedness of your father’s wife shall you not uncover: it is your father’s nakedness.
9 “‘Teweebakanga na mwannyoko, azaalibwa kitaawo, oba azaalibwa nnyoko, ne bwe muba nga mwakulira mu maka gamu oba nga temwakulira wamu, tomukolangako bya nsonyi okumuleetera obuswavu.
The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or daughter of your mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness you shall not uncover.
10 “‘Teweebakanga na muwala azaalibwa mutabani wo, oba muwala w’omwana wo omuwala, n’okola naye ebyensonyi; ekyo ne kikuleetako obuswavu.
The nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness you shall not uncover: for theirs is your own nakedness.
11 “‘Teweebakanga na mwana wa muka kitaawo ow’obuwala eyazaalibwa kitaawo n’omukolako ebyensonyi; oyo mwannyoko. Tomuleeteranga bya buswavu.
The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of your father, she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12 “‘Teweebakanga na mwannyina wa kitaawo n’okola naye ebyensonyi; oyo ne kitaawo ba musaayi gwe gumu.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister: she is your father’s near kinswoman.
13 “‘Teweebakanga na muwala bwe bazaalibwa ne nnyoko n’okola naye ebyensonyi; kubanga oyo ne nnyoko ba musaayi gwe gumu.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister: for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
14 “‘Toweebuulanga muganda wa kitaawo, ng’olaga eri mukazi we weebake naye mukole ebyensonyi; oyo maama wo omuto.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, you shall not approach to his wife: she is your aunt.
15 “‘Teweebakanga na muka mutabani wo ne mukola ebyensonyi; kubanga oyo ye mukyala wa mutabani wo; tomuleeteranga bya buswavu.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter in law: she is your son’s wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 “‘Teweebakanga na muka muganda wo ne mukola ebyensonyi, kubanga ekyo kinaaleeteranga muganda wo obuswavu.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife: it is your brother’s nakedness.
17 “‘Teweebakanga na mukazi ate ne muwala we n’okola nabo ebyensonyi. Era teweebakanga na mwana muwala owa mutabani wa mukazi oyo oba na mwana muwala owa muwala we; kubanga abo ba musaayi gwe gumu n’ogw’omukazi oyo. Ekyo kibi kinene.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shall you take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 “‘Toleetanga mukazi nga muganda wa mukyala wo ne badda mu kuvuganya, era ne weebaka naye ne mukola ebyensonyi nga mukyala wo akyali mulamu.
Neither shall you take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 “‘Tosembereranga mukazi ng’oyagala weebake naye omukoleko ebyensonyi ng’ali mu kiseera kye ekya buli mwezi eky’okuvaamu omusaayi mw’abeerera atali mulongoofu.
Also you shall not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 “‘Teweebakanga na mukyala wa munnansi yammwe okumukolako ebyensonyi, n’akuleetera obutali bulongoofu.
Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her.
21 “‘Mu baana bo towangayo n’omu ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokeddwa mu muliro eri Moleki, kubanga erinnya lya Katonda wo tosaanira kuliweebuulanga. Nze Mukama.
And you shall not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
22 “‘Teweebakanga na musajja nga bwe wandyebase n’omukazi, ekyo kibi ekikyayibwa ennyo.
You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 “‘Tokolanga bya nsonyi ku nsolo kubanga ekyo kinaakufuulanga atali mulongoofu. Omukazi teyeewangayo eri ensolo emukoleko ebyensonyi, okwo kwe kuwabira ddala.
Neither shall you lie with any beast to defile yourself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 “‘Temwereetangako obutali bulongoofu nga mugoberera amayisa ago amabi; kubanga n’amawanga ge ŋŋenda okugoba mu nsi mwe mujja okuyingira bwe geefuula bwe gatyo agatali malongoofu;
Defile not you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 n’ensi n’efuuka etali nnongoofu, ne ngibonereza olw’ebyonoono byayo, n’abantu baamu abagibeeramu n’ebasesema.
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof on it, and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants.
26 Naye mmwe mukuumenga ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange. Abazaaliranwa ne bannamawanga abali mu mmwe tewabanga n’omu anaakolanga ku bintu ebyo n’akatono ebikyayibwa ennyo bwe bityo.
You shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourns among you:
27 Kubanga ebintu ebyo byonna byakolebwanga abantu abaabasooka mmwe okubeera mu nsi omwo, ensi n’efuuka etali nnongoofu.
(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled; )
28 Ensi eyo bwe muligifuula etali nnongoofu, egenda kubasesema nga bwe yasesema amawanga agaabasooka okugibeeramu.
That the land spew not you out also, when you defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you.
29 “‘Abantu bonna abanaakolanga ebintu ebyo ebibi ebikyayibwa ennyo, abantu ng’abo banaagobwanga ne bagaanibwa okukolagana ne bannaabwe.
For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be 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 you keep my ordinance, that you commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that you defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
