Ebyabaleevi 18
1 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 “Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I [am] Jehovah 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.
according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.
4 Munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange, munaakwatanga amateeka gange, era mwe munaatambuliranga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
'My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I [am] Jehovah your God;
5 Mugonderenga ebiragiro byange awamu n’amateeka gange, kubanga buli muntu anaabikwatanga mu byo mwanaatambulizanga obulamu bwe. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I [am] Jehovah.
6 “‘Tewabanga omuntu yenna mu mmwe ajja eri munne gw’alinako oluganda ne yeebaka naye. Nze Mukama.
'None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness; I [am] Jehovah.

'The nakedness of thy father's brother thou dost not uncover; unto his wife thou dost not draw near; she [is] thine aunt.

'The nakedness of a woman and her daughter thou dost not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter thou dost not take to uncover her nakedness; they [are] her relations; it [is] wickedness.

'And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman; abomination it [is].

'And with any beast thou dost not give thy copulation, for uncleanness with it; and a woman doth not stand before a beast to lie down with it; confusion it [is].
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;
'Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from 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, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its 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.
and ye — ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning 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 [are] before you, and the land is defiled),
28 Ensi eyo bwe muligifuula etali nnongoofu, egenda kubasesema nga bwe yasesema amawanga agaabasooka okugibeeramu.
and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which [is] before you;
29 “‘Abantu bonna abanaakolanga ebintu ebyo ebibi ebikyayibwa ennyo, abantu ng’abo banaagobwanga ne bagaanibwa okukolagana ne bannaabwe.
for any one who doth [any] of all these abominations — even the persons who are doing [so], have been cut off from 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.’”
and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] Jehovah your God.'
