Ebyabaleevi 24
1 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Lagira abaana ba Isirayiri bakuleetere amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni aga zeyituuni amalungi amaka ag’okukozesa mu ttaala ziryoke zaakenga buli kiseera awatali kusalako.
“Command the Israeli people to continually bring to you clear oil made from pressed olives to burn in the lamps [in the Sacred Tent], in order that those lamps will burn all the time.
3 Wabweru w’Eggigi ery’Endagaano mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, Alooni w’anaalabiririranga ettabaaza ezo nga zaakira awali Mukama Katonda okuva akawungeezi okutuusa mu makya awatali kusalako. Eryo linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira ne mu mirembe egigenda okujja.
Outside the curtain of the Very Holy Place, Aaron must take care of the lamps in my presence continually, in order that they will burn all during the night. That regulation must be obeyed forever.
4 Alooni anaalabiriranga ettaala ez’oku kikondo ekya zaabu omuka awali Mukama Katonda nga zaaka awatali kusalako.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 “Ojja kuddiranga obuwunga bw’eŋŋaano obulungi ofumbe emigaati kkumi n’ebiri ng’okozesa desimoolo bbiri eza efa.
“Also, [each week] you must take some fine flour and bake twelve [very big] loaves of bread, using about four quarts/liters of flour for each loaf.
6 Onoogitegekanga mu nnyiriri bbiri nga mu buli lunyiriri mulimu emigaati mukaaga. Onoogiteekanga ku mmeeza eya zaabu omuka awali Mukama.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 Era ku buli lunyiriri onooteekangako obubaane obuka nga bugendera wamu n’emigaati nga kye kijjukizo eky’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda nga kyokeddwa mu muliro.
Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
8 Emigaati egyo ginaategekebwanga awali Mukama buli Ssabbiiti awatali kwosa, ng’ekyo kikolebwa ku lw’abaana ba Isirayiri nga ye ndagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.
New/Fresh loaves of bread must be put [on the table] each Sabbath day, to signify the agreement that will never end, that I have made with you Israeli people.
9 Emigaati egyo ginaabanga gya Alooni ne batabani be, era banaagiriiranga mu kifo ekitukuvu, kubanga giva ku kiweebwayo ekitukuvu ennyo eri Mukama Katonda nga kyokeddwa mu muliro nga kye kiragiro eky’enkalakkalira.”
The bread [that is taken off the table] belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place, because it is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to me by being burned.”
10 Awo mutabani w’omukazi Omuyisirayiri naye nga kitaawe Mumisiri n’afuluma n’abeera mu baana ba Isirayiri, naye ne wasitukawo olutalo wakati w’omusajja oyo n’Omuyisirayiri, nga bali mu lusiisira.
There was a man whose mother’s name was Shelomith; she was an Israeli whose father was Dibri from the tribe of Dan. And that man’s father was from Egypt. One day that man and another Israeli man started to fight inside the camp. And while they were fighting, that man cursed Yahweh [MTY].
11 Mutabani w’omukazi Omuyisirayiri n’avvoola Erinnya lya Mukama, era n’akolima. Ne bamuleeta eri Musa. Nnyina ye yali Seromisi, muwala wa Dibuli ow’omu kika kya Ddaani.
12 Ne bamuggalira mu kkomera okutuusa Mukama Katonda lw’anaabategeeza ekinaakolebwa.
So the Israeli people seized him and guarded him until they could find out what Yahweh would reveal to them [that they should do to that man].
13 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 “Eyavvodde mumufulumye ebweru w’olusiisira. Abo bonna abaamuwulidde ng’avvoola bateeke emikono gyabwe ku mutwe gwe; oluvannyuma ekibiina kyonna kiryoke kimukube amayinja.
“[Tie up and] take outside the camp the man who has cursed me. There all those who heard what he said must put their hands on his head [to indicate that he is guilty], and then all the people must [kill him by] throwing stones at him.
15 Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti omuntu yenna anaakolimiranga Katonda we anaabanga n’obuvunaanyizibwa olw’ekibi ekyo.
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 Oyo yenna anavvoolanga erinnya lya Mukama Katonda anattibwanga. Ekibiina kyonna kinaamukubanga amayinja. Ne bw’anaabanga omugwira oba Omuyisirayiri, bw’anavvoolanga Erinnya anattibwanga.
So anyone who curses me [MTY] must be executed. All the people must throw stones at him. It does not matter if he is a foreigner or an Israeli citizen; anyone who curses me must be executed.’
17 “Anattanga omuntu naye anattibwanga.
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 Omuntu yenna anattanga ensolo ya munne anaagimuliyiranga, ensolo ku nsolo.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 Omuntu bw’anaaleetanga akamogo ku munne n’amulumya, ekyo ky’akoze ku munne naye kye kinaamukolwangako:
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 obuvune olw’obuvune, eriiso olw’eriiso, erinnyo olw’erinnyo; nga bw’anaabanga alumizza munne, naye bw’atyo bw’anaalumizibwanga.
If someone breaks one of another person’s bones, that person is allowed to break one of the bones of the person who injured him. If someone gouges out an eye of another person, that person is allowed to gouge out the eye of the person who injured him. If someone knocks out the tooth of another person, that person is allowed to knock out one of his teeth. What is done to the offender must be the same as what he did to the other person.
21 Omuntu anattanga ensolo ya munne anaagimuliyiranga, n’oyo anattanga omuntu naye waakuttibwanga.
Whoever kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed, but anyone who murders another person must be executed.
22 Etteeka lye limu lye linaafuganga omugwira era n’Omuyisirayiri. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.”
That law applies to you Israelis and and also to the foreigners who live among you; I, Yahweh your God [am the one who has commanded it].”
23 Bw’atyo Musa n’ategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri, ne bafulumya eyavvoola ebweru w’olusiisira ne bamukuba amayinja n’afa. Abaana ba Isirayiri baakola nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
Then Moses/I told the Israelis [what they must do to the man who cursed Yahweh], so they took the man outside the camp and [killed him by] throwing stones at him. They did what Yahweh commanded Moses/me [to tell them to do].
