Ebyabaleevi 18
1 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
2 “Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —I—Yahweh, am 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 ye dwelt, shall ye not do, —And after the doings of the land of Canaan whither, I, am bringing you in, shall ye not do, And, in their statutes, shall ye not walk:
4 Munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange, munaakwatanga amateeka gange, era mwe munaatambuliranga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
My regulations, shall ye do, And, my statutes, shall ye observe to walk therein, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
5 Mugonderenga ebiragiro byange awamu n’amateeka gange, kubanga buli muntu anaabikwatanga mu byo mwanaatambulizanga obulamu bwe. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
Therefore shall ye observe my statutes, and my regulations, Which if the son of earth shall do them, Then shall he live in them, —I, am Yahweh.

Do not make yourselves unclean in any of these things, —For in all these things, have the nations made themselves unclean, whom, I, am sending out from before you.
25 n’ensi n’efuuka etali nnongoofu, ne ngibonereza olw’ebyonoono byayo, n’abantu baamu abagibeeramu n’ebasesema.
Therefore hath the land become unclean, and I have visited the iniquity thereof upon it, —and the land hath vomited 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.
Ye, therefore, shall observe my statutes and my regulations, and have nothing to do with any of these abominations, —whether the home-born, or the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst;
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, who were before you; And so the land hath become unclean:
28 Ensi eyo bwe muligifuula etali nnongoofu, egenda kubasesema nga bwe yasesema amawanga agaabasooka okugibeeramu.
So shall the land not vomit you, through your making it unclean, —as it vomited the nation which was before you.
29 “‘Abantu bonna abanaakolanga ebintu ebyo ebibi ebikyayibwa ennyo, abantu ng’abo banaagobwanga ne bagaanibwa okukolagana ne bannaabwe.
For whosoever shall have anything to do with any of these abominations, the persons who have, shall be cut off, out of the midst of 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 ye keep my charge, So that ye may have nothing to do with any of the abominable statutes with which they have had to do before you, So shall ye not make yourselves unclean thereby, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
