Ebyabaleevi 21
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Yogera ne bakabona, batabani ba Alooni, obagambe nti tewabanga omuntu eyeeretako obutali bulongoofu olw’okukwata ku mufu mu bantu be,
The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, 'A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people;
2 wabula ng’amulinako oluganda olw’okumpi. Gamba nga nnyina, oba kitaawe, oba mutabani we, oba muwala we, oba muganda we,
except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
3 oba mwannyina embeerera atamanyi musajja, gw’alinako obuvunaanyizibwa kubanga tabeerangako na bba, kubanga ayinza okwereetako obutali bulongoofu.
and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 Kabona nga bw’ali omukulembeze, tekimusaanira kwereetako obutali bulongoofu wakati mu bantu be.
He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 Bakabona tebamwangako nviiri ku mitwe gyabwe, wadde okumwako ebirevu byabwe, oba okusala emisale ku mibiri gyabwe.
"'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu eri Katonda waabwe balemenga okuleetera erinnya lya Katonda waabwe obutali bulongoofu. Kubanga be batuusa ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa mu muliro eri Mukama, ye mmere ya Katonda waabwe, noolwekyo kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu.
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
7 Tebawasanga mukazi malaaya oba atali mulongoofu, oba oyo agobeddwa ewa bba; kubanga bakabona batukuvu eri Katonda waabwe.
"'They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband: for he is holy to his God.
8 Mubayisenga ng’abatukuvu, kubanga be bawaayo emmere eya Katonda wammwe. Mubayisenga ng’abatukuvu; kubanga Nze Mukama atukuza mmwe, ndi mutukuvu.
You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 Era omwana omuwala owa kabona bw’anaakubanga obwamalaaya, bw’atyo ne yeereetako obutali bulongoofu, anaabeeranga aleetedde kitaawe obutali bulongoofu; anaayokebwanga mu muliro.
"'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
10 “Kabona Asinga Obukulu, nga ye mukulembeze mu baganda be, era nga ye yafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ku mutwe gwe, era nga yayawulibwa ayambalenga ebyambalo by’Obwakabona, tasaanira kusumululanga nviiri ze ku mutwe gwe n’azita, wadde okuyuzanga ebyambalo bye.
"'He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor tear his clothes;
11 Tayingiranga mu kifo omuli omulambo, aleme kwereetako obutali bulongoofu. Omulambo ne bwe gunaabanga ogwa kitaawe oba ogwa nnyina.
neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
12 Era n’ekifo kya Katonda we ekitukuvu taakivengamu oba okukireetako obutali bulongoofu, kubanga yayawulibwa bwe yafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ga Katonda we. Nze Mukama Katonda.
neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the LORD.
13 Anaawasanga omukazi mbeerera atamanyanga musajja.
"'He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 Tawasanga nnamwandu, oba omukazi bba gwe yagoba, oba omukazi eyeereeseeko obutali bulongoofu olw’okukuba obwamalaaya; naye anaawasanga omukazi embeerera ng’amuggya mu bantu be;
A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife.
15 aleme okuleetera ezzadde lye obutali bulongoofu wakati mu bantu be. Kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda amutukuza.”
He shall not profane his offspring among his people: for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.'"
16 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Tegeeza Alooni nti mu zadde lye, okuyita mu mirembe gyonna, bwe munaabangamu omuntu aliko akamogo ku mubiri gwe taasemberenga kuwaayo emmere ya Katonda we.
"Say to Aaron, 'None of your descendants throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 Kubanga tewaabengawo muntu yenna aliko akamogo ku mubiri gwe anaasemberanga. Gamba: omuzibe w’amaaso, oba omulema, oba eyakyama ennyindo, oba eyakulako ekintu ekyasukkirira obuwanvu;
For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
19 oba omuntu alina ekigere ekyagongobala, oba omukono ogwalemala,
or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20 oba ow’ebbango, oba nakalanga, oba atalaba bulungi, oba ng’omubiri gwe gumusiiwa yeetakulatakula, oba ng’alina amabwa agakulukuta, oba nga yayabika enjagi.
or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles;
21 Tewaabengawo wa mu zadde lya Alooni kabona ng’aliko akamogo anakkirizibwanga okusembera okuleeta ebiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda, ebyokebwa mu muliro. Kubanga aliko akamogo; tekiimusaanirenga kusembera n’okuwaayo ekiweebwayo eri Katonda we.
no man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish, shall come near to present offerings to your God made by fire. Since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 Anaayinzanga okulya ku mmere entukuvu ennyo eya Katonda we;
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 naye olwokubanga aliko akamogo ku mubiri gwe, taasaanirenga kusemberera ggigi, oba okulaga okumpi n’ekyoto, n’aleetera ebifo byange ebitukuvu obutali bulongoofu. Kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda abitukuza.”
He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.'"
24 Bw’atyo Musa n’ategeeza Alooni ne batabani be, awamu n’abaana bonna aba Isirayiri ebigambo ebyo byonna.
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
