Ebyabaleevi 20
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
The Lord told Moses,
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.
“Tell the Israelites: these regulations are for both Israelites and foreigners living among them. Anyone who sacrifices their children to Molech must be executed. The community must stone them to death.
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.
I will disown them and expel them from their people, because by sacrificing their children to Molech they have polluted my sanctuary and disgraced my reputation.
4 Era abantu ab’omu kitundu ekyo mw’abeera, bwe banaamuzibiranga ku liiso, omuntu oyo awaddeyo omwana we eri Moleki, ne batamutta,
If the community decides to look the other way and not execute those who sacrifice their children to Molech, then I will take action against them myself.
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 disown them and their family, and expel them from their people—and not just them, but everyone who follows them in spiritually prostituting themselves with Molech.
6 “‘Omuntu bw’anaakolagananga n’abasamize, n’abalogo, n’akuba nabo obwamalaaya, nnaamunyiigiranga, era nnaamugobanga ne mugaana okukolagana ne banne.
I will also disown and expel from their people anyone who goes to mediums or spiritists and in this way commits spiritual prostitution with them.
7 “‘Noolwekyo mwetukuze mubeerenga batukuvu, kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
So dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.
8 Mukwatenga amateeka gange, mugagobererenga. Nze Mukama abatukuza.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
