Ebyabaleevi 20
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri bw’oti nti, Omuyisirayiri yenna, oba omunnaggwanga atuula mu Isirayiri, bw’anaawangayo omwana we ng’ekiweebwayo eri Moleki, kitaawe w’omwana oyo ajjanga kuttibwa. Abantu ab’omu kitundu ekyo mw’abeera banaamukubanga amayinja.
You shall speak these things to the sons of Israel: A man among the sons Israel, or among the newcomers who live in Israel, if he will have given from his seed to the idol Moloch, he shall be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.
3 Nange kennyini, omuntu oyo nnaamunyiigiranga, era nnaamugobanga ne mmugaana okukolagananga ne banne, kubanga awaddeyo omu ku baana be ng’ekiweebwayo eri Moleki, n’ayonoona Awatukuvu wange era n’avumisa erinnya lyange ettukuvu.
And I will set my face against him. And I will cut him down from the midst of his people, because he has given from his seed to Moloch, and he has contaminated my Sanctuary, and polluted my holy name.
4 Era abantu ab’omu kitundu ekyo mw’abeera, bwe banaamuzibiranga ku liiso, omuntu oyo awaddeyo omwana we eri Moleki, ne batamutta,
But if the people of the land, having been neglectful and holding little regard for my authority, release the man who has given from his seed to Moloch, and they are not willing to kill him,
5 omuntu oyo nnaamunyiigiranga, ne ku b’omu nnyumba ye, ne mbagoba ne mbagaana okukolagananga ne bannaabwe, ye ne banne abakolaganye naye mu kukuba obwamalaaya ne Moleki.
I will set my face over that man and over his kindred, and I will cut down both him and all who consented with him to fornicate with Moloch, from the midst of their people.
6 “‘Omuntu bw’anaakolagananga n’abasamize, n’abalogo, n’akuba nabo obwamalaaya, nnaamunyiigiranga, era nnaamugobanga ne mugaana okukolagana ne banne.
The soul who will have turned aside to astrologers and soothsayers, and who will have fornicated with them, I will set my face against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of his people.
7 “‘Noolwekyo mwetukuze mubeerenga batukuvu, kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
Be sanctified and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.
8 Mukwatenga amateeka gange, mugagobererenga. Nze Mukama abatukuza.
Observe my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.
9 “‘Omuntu yenna anaakolimiranga kitaawe oba nnyina wa kuttibwanga. Noolwekyo akolimidde kitaawe oba nnyina, omusaayi gwe gunaabanga ku mutwe gwe.
Whoever curses his father or mother shall die a death; he has cursed his father and mother. So let his blood be upon him.
10 “‘Omusajja bwanaayendanga ku muka omusajja, bombi, omusajja ayenze n’omukazi gw’ayenzeeko banattibwanga.
If anyone will have committed sexual acts with the wife of another, or will have perpetrated adultery with his neighbor’s spouse, they shall die a death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 “‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka kitaawe, anaabanga aweebudde kitaawe. Bombi omusajja n’omukazi banattibwanga; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
Whoever will have slept with his stepmother, or will have uncovered the shame of his father, they shall both die a death. So let their blood be upon them.
12 “‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka mutabani we, bombi banattibwanga. Kubanga bombi banaabanga bakoze ebyambyone; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
If any man will have slept with his daughter-in-law, both shall die, for they have acted according to wickedness. So let their blood be upon them.
13 “‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne musajja munne nga bwe yandyebase n’omukazi, bombi banaabanga bakoze eky’ekivve; era banattibwanga, n’omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
If any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.
14 “‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga omukazi ate n’atwalirako ne nnyina, ekyo kya kivve. Ye n’abakazi bombi banaayokebwanga mu muliro, bwe mutyo ekyonoono ekyo ne mukyegobako.
If any man, having taken the daughter as a wife, will have married her mother, he has acted according to wickedness. He shall be burnt alive with them. Neither shall so great a nefarious act persist in your midst.
15 “‘Omusajja bw’anaakolanga eby’ensonyi ku nsolo, anattibwanga, era n’ensolo munaagittanga.
Whoever will have committed sexual acts with any animal or cattle, he shall die a death. Likewise, you shall slay the beast.
16 “‘Omukazi bw’anaasembereranga ensolo alyoke akole nayo eby’ensonyi, mumuttanga n’ensolo ne mugitta. Omukazi anattibwanga n’ensolo nettibwa; omusaayi gw’omukazi gunaabanga ku mutwe gwe, n’ogw’ensolo gunaabanga ku mutwe gwayo.
The woman who will have lain under any animal at all shall be destroyed together with it. So let their blood be upon them.
17 “‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga mwannyina, oba nga mwanamuwala wa kitaawe, oba nga mwanamuwala wa nnyina, ne beebaka bombi, kinaabanga kya buwemu. Bombi banaagobwanga mu bannaabwe ne babagaana okukolagananga nabo. Kubanga omusajja oyo anaabanga aweebudde mwannyina, era y’aneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna olw’ekibi ekyo.
Whoever will have taken his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother, and will have seen her nakedness, and she will have looked upon her brother’s shame, they have committed a nefarious act. They shall be slain in the sight of their people, because they have uncovered one another’s nakedness. And they shall bear their iniquity.
18 “‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga n’omukazi mu biseera by’omukazi, ebya buli mwezi ng’empisa y’abakazi bw’eba, anaabanga abikudde ensulo y’omusaayi gw’omukazi oyo, era n’omukazi anaabanga yeebikudde. Bombi banaagobwanga mu bannaabwe ne babagaana okukolagananga nabo.
Whoever has sexual intercourse with a woman in her menstrual flow, and has uncovered her nakedness, and she has opened the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed from the midst of their people.
19 “‘Teweebakanga na mukazi muganda wa nnyoko oba ne mwannyina wa kitaawo n’okola naye eby’ensonyi, kubanga ekyo kiweebuula owooluganda ow’okumpi. Mwembi munaavunaanyizibwanga olw’ekyonoono kyammwe ekyo.
You shall not expose the nakedness of your maternal or paternal aunt. Whoever does this has laid bare the shame of his own flesh; both shall bear their iniquity.
20 “‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka kitaawe omuto oba ne muka kojjaawe, anaabanga aweebudde bakadde be abo. Omusajja oyo n’omukazi oyo be baneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa obw’ekibi ekyo, era balifa nga tebalina baana.
If any man has had sexual intercourse with the wife of his paternal or maternal uncle, and he has uncovered the shame of his close relative, both shall bear their sin. They shall die without children.
21 “‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga muka muganda we, kinaabanga ekikolwa ekitali kirongoofu, kubanga aweebudde muganda we. Tebalizaala baana.
Whoever will have married his brother’s wife has done an unlawful thing; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be without children.
22 “‘Kale nno, mukwatenga amateeka gange gonna n’ebiragiro byange byonna, era mubikolerengako, ensi mwe mbatwala okutuulanga eryoke ereme kubasesema.
Observe my laws as well as my judgments, and act according to them, lest the land, into which you will enter and live, may vomit you out, too.
23 Era temugobereranga mpisa ez’amawanga ge ŋŋenda ngoba mu nsi eyo; kubanga baakola ebintu ebyo byonna, noolwekyo mbakyawa nnyo.
Do not be willing to walk by the ordinances of the nations, which I will expel before you. For they have done all these things, and so I abominate them.
24 Naye nabategeeza nti, “Mulisikira ensi yaabwe, era ndigibawa ne mugirya, ye nsi omukulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.” Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe eyabaawula ku mawanga amalala.
But I say to you: Possess their land, which I will give to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.
25 “‘Noolwekyo mujjanga kwawulamu ensolo ennongoofu n’etali nnongoofu, n’ennyonyi ennongoofu n’etali nnongoofu. Temufuukanga abatali balongoofu olw’ensolo oba ennyonyi, oba ebiramu byonna ebitambula ku ttaka, bye mmaze okwawulako ne mbibategeeza nti si birongoofu.
Therefore, you must also separate the clean animals from the unclean, and the clean birds from the unclean. Do not pollute your souls with cattle, or birds, or anything that moves upon the earth, and which I have shown you to be unclean.
26 Kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu gye ndi, kubanga Nze, Mukama, ndi mutukuvu, era mbaawudde ku mawanga amalala mubeerenga ggwanga lyange.
You shall be holy unto me, because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, so that you would be mine.
27 “‘Omusajja oba omukazi mu mmwe anaabeeranga omusamize oba omulogo, wa kuttibwanga. Mubakubanga amayinja; era omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.’”
A man or a woman, in whom there is an oracle-like or a divining spirit, shall be put to death. They shall stone them. So let their blood be upon them.
