Ebyabaleevi 26
1 “Temwekoleranga bifaananyi oba okwesimbira ebifaananyi ebyole, oba amayinja ge muyise amatukuvu, era temuteekanga mayinja mawoole mu nsi yammwe okugavuunamiranga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
[Yahweh also said this to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain]: “Do not make idols or set up statues of false gods or sacred stones [to worship other gods]. And do not put on your property a stone that has been shaped [to resemble a false god] and bow down to [worship] it. [You must worship only] me, Yahweh, your God.
2 Mukwatenga Ssabbiiti zange, era n’ebifo byange ebitukuvu mubissengamu ekitiibwa. Nze Mukama Katonda.
“Honor the Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
3 “Bwe munaakwatanga amateeka gange, ne mugondera ebiragiro byange n’obwegendereza,
“If you carefully obey all my commands [DOU],
4 nnaabatonnyesezanga enkuba mu ntuuko zaayo, n’ettaka linaavangamu ebibala byalyo, n’emiti egy’omu nnimiro ginaabalanga ebibala byagyo.
I will send rain for you at the proper/right times, in order that crops will grow on your land and there will be plenty of fruit on your trees.
5 Munaawuulanga okutuusa ku makungula g’emizabbibu, n’okukungula emizabbibu kunaabatuusanga mu biseera eby’okusiga; era munaalyanga emmere yonna nga bwe mwetaaga, ne mubeera mu nsi yammwe nga mulina emirembe.
You will continue [harvesting and] threshing [grain] until it is time to harvest grapes, and you will continue to harvest grapes until it is time to start planting [things in the following year]. And you will have all the food that you want to eat, and you will live safely in your land.
6 “Ndibawa emirembe mu nsi ne mwebaka bulungi, so tewaabengawo anaabatiisatiisanga. Ebisolo ebikambwe ndibimalamu mu nsi yammwe, era temuubeerengamu ntalo.
“[If you obey all my laws], there will be peace in your country, and when you lie down [to sleep], nothing will cause you to be afraid. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in your country, and there will no wars [MTY] in your country.
7 Munaawonderanga abalabe bammwe ne mubatta n’ekitala ne mubawangula.
You will pursue your enemies and kill them with your swords:
8 Abataano mu mmwe banaagobanga ekikumi, era ekikumi mu mmwe banaagobanga omutwalo ogumu, era munaawangulanga abalabe bammwe n’ekitala.
Five of you will pursue 100 of them, and 100 of you will pursue 1,000 of them and kill them with your swords.
9 “Nnaabassangako omwoyo ne mbawa okuzaala ne mweyongera obungi, era endagaano yange nammwe nnaagituukirizanga.
“[If you obey all my laws], I will bless you and cause you to have many children [DOU]. And I will do what I said that I would do in the agreement that I made with you.
10 Munaabanga mukyalya ku makungula ag’omwaka oguyise ne mugafulumya olw’amakungula amaggya.
When you are still eating food from the harvest from the previous year, it will be necessary for you to throw away some of it to make space for the new harvest.
11 Ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu nnaakiteekanga mu mmwe, era omutima gwange teguubatamwenga.
I will live among you in my Sacred Tent, and I will never reject you.
12 Nnaatambuliranga mu mmwe, era nnaabanga Katonda wammwe, nammwe munaabanga bantu bange.
I will walk among you and continue to be your God, and you will continue to be my people.
13 Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe eyabaggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri, mulyoke mukome okuba abaddu b’Abamisiri; namenya ebikoligo byammwe ne mbasobozesa okutambula nga mwesimbye.
I am Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you would no longer be slaves of the people of Egypt. [When you were there, you were treated as though you were animals that worked for the people of Egypt, but] [MET] I broke the bars of the (yokes/frames that were put around your necks) and enabled you to walk with your heads up.”
14 “Naye bwe mutampulirenga, ne mutagondera biragiro ebyo byonna,
“But if you will not heed me and obey all these commands,
15 era bwe munaanyoomoolanga ebiragiro byange ne mukyawa amateeka gange, ne mulemwa okutuukiriza ebiragiro byange ebyo byonna, bwe mutyo ne mutakuumanga ndagaano yange,
and if you reject [DOU] my decrees and laws, and do not do [DOU] what I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you,
16 kale, kino kye ndibakola: Ndibaleetera entiisa eza mangu ez’embagirawo, n’obulwadde obw’olukonvuba obubalumya akasiiso n’omusujja, ebiribaziba amaaso ne bibakamulamu obulamu. Era muliteganira bwereere okusimba ebibala byammwe, kubanga abalabe bammwe be balibirya.
these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.
17 Ndibeefuukira, abalabe bammwe n’okubawangula ne babawangula; abo ababakyawa banaabafuganga, ne mudduka n’okudduka so nga tewali abagoba.
I will reject/abandon you [IDM], with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and [you will be so terrified that] you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.
18 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna okubatuukako, era bwe mutaŋŋonderenga, kale ndyongera okubabonereza okusingawo emirundi musanvu, olw’ebibi byammwe.
“If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.
19 Amalala gammwe n’emputtu ndibibaggyamu, eggulu ne likakanyala ng’ekyuma, n’ettaka ne likaluba ng’ekikomo.
I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause [no rain to fall; it will be as though] [MET] the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be [as hard as] brass [MET].
20 Amaanyi gammwe ganaabafanga busa, kubanga ettaka lyammwe teriivengamu mmere yaalyo, wadde emiti egy’omu nsi yammwe okubala ebibala byagyo.
You will uselessly work very hard [to plant seeds], because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.
21 “Era bwe muneeyongeranga okutambulira mu makubo ge sikkiriza, ne mugaana okumpulira, ndyongera okubaleetako endwadde nnyingi nga za mirundi musanvu ng’ebibi byammwe bwe byenkana.
“If you continue to oppose me and refuse to heed me, I will cause you to experience disasters again and again, like you deserve to experience because of your sins.
22 Era ndibasindikira ensolo ez’omu nsiko, ezinaalyanga abaana bammwe, ne zizikiriza ente zammwe n’omuwendo gwammwe ne gukendeera, nga n’enguudo zammwe tewakyali azitambuliramu.
I will send wild animals to attack you, and they will kill your little children and destroy your cattle. There will be very few of you who will remain alive, with the result that there will be very few [HYP] people walking on the roads in your country.
23 “Era okukangavvula okwo bwe kutaabakyusenga kudda gye ndi, naye ne mweyongera okujeema,
“When you experience those things that I do to punish you, if you still do not pay attention to me, and if you continue to oppose me,
24 kale, nange ndibalaga obukambwe, era nze kennyini ndibeebonerereza emirundi musanvu olw’ebyonoono byammwe.
I myself will oppose you, and I will punish you for your sins again and again.
25 Era nnaabaleeteranga entalo okwesasuza olw’okumenya endagaano. Bwe muneekuŋŋaanyizanga mu bibuga byammwe, nnaabaleeteranga endwadde enkambwe, era n’abalabe bammwe banaabawangulanga.
I will send [foreign] [MTY] to punish you for not doing the things that I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you. If you [try to escape from your enemies by] shutting yourselves in your cities [that have walls around them], I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture [IDM] you.
26 Bwe ndikendeeza ku bungi bw’emmere yammwe, olwo abakazi ekkumi banaabafumbiranga emmere yammwe mu ntamu emu, era buli omu banaamupimirangako akatole katono. Munaalyanga, naye temukkutenga.
When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten women will be able to bake all their bread in [only] one oven. [When the bread is baked], each woman will divide it [among the members of her family, but there will be very little for each one], and when they have eaten all of it, they will still be hungry.
27 “N’ebyo byonna bwe binaalemanga okukyusa emitima gyammwe okumpulira, naye ne mweyongera okunjeemeranga;
“After all those things happen, if you still do not heed me, if you still oppose me,
28 nange nnaabasunguwaliranga, nze kennyini ne mbeebonerereza emirundi musanvu olw’ebibi byammwe.
I will be very angry with you, and I will oppose you, and I myself will punish you for your sins again and again.
29 Mulirya batabani bammwe ne bawala bammwe.
[You will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you will [kill] your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.
30 Ndizikiriza ebyoto bya bakatonda bammwe, ne ntemaatema bakatonda abalala, ne ntuuma emirambo gyammwe ku mirambo gya bakatonda abalala; era ndibakyawa.
I will cause the shrines [where you worship idols] on hilltops to be destroyed. I will smash the altars where you burn incense [to worship your gods], and I will cause your corpses to be piled on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will detest you.
31 Ebibuga byammwe binaasigaliranga awo tayo, n’ebifo byammwe ebitukuvu nga tebiriiko abifaako, era n’akaloosa akava mu biweebwayo byammwe tekansanyusenga.
I will cause your cities to become heaps of ruins, and I will cause the buildings that are dedicated to the worship of your gods to be smashed. And I will not be pleased at all with the aroma of your offerings [that are burned on the altar].
32 Ensi yammwe ndigifuula ddungu n’abalabe bammwe abanaagibeerangamu ne bagyewuunya.
I will completely ruin your country, with the result that even your enemies who capture it will be shocked/appalled [when they see it].
33 Ndibasaasaanyiza mu mawanga ne mbagobereza ekitala kyange. Ensi yammwe erifuuka amalungu n’ebibuga byammwe nga bimenyeddwa.
I will enable [your enemies to kill you with] their swords, and I will cause the rest of you to be scattered among other nations. Your country will be ruined and your cities will become ruins.
34 Awo ettaka ne liryoka lifuna emyaka egya ssabbiiti zaalyo mu bbanga eryo lye lirimala nga tewali alifaako, nga mmwe muli mu nsi z’abalabe bammwe; ettaka ne liwummulako ne lyeyagalira mu ssabbiiti zaalyo ezo.
After that happens, as long as you are living in your enemies’ countries, your land will be allowed to rest, like you should have allowed it to rest every seven years.
35 Ebbanga eryo lyonna ettaka lye lirimala nga tewali kikolerwako, liriba n’okuwummula kwe litaafuna mu ssabbiiti ezaayita bwe mwali nga mmwe mulibeerako.
All the time that your land is desolate, it will be able to rest, like you did not enable it to rest during all the years that you lived there.
36 “Mu mmwe, abaliba basigaddewo nga bakyali balamu, nditeeka okutya mu mitima gyabwe nga bali eyo mu nsi z’abalabe baabwe, nga n’eddoboozi ly’akakoola k’omuti akafuumuulibwa n’empewo kabatiisa. Banaddukanga ng’abaliko abalabe ab’ebitala ababagoba, banaagwanga newaakubadde nga tewaabeerengawo babawondera.
“As for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies [will have taken you], I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like [SIM] you are running from [a man carrying] a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.
37 Banaagwaŋŋanangako ng’abadduka okwewonya omulabe ow’ekitala newaakubadde nga tewaabengawo babawondera. Bwe mutyo temuusobolenga kwolekera balabe bammwe.
You will stumble over each other. So you will not be able to stand and fight your enemies.
38 Mulisaanawo mu mawanga; ensi z’abalabe bammwe ziribamira.
Many of you will die in the countries that belong to your enemies [DOU].
39 N’abo ku mmwe abanaabanga basigaddewo banaakoozimbiranga mu nsi z’abalabe bammwe olw’ebibi byabwe, era balikoozimba n’olw’ebibi bya bakitaabwe.
And those of you who remain alive will slowly die and rot in the countries of your enemies because of your sins and because of the sins of your ancestors.
40 “Naye bwe baneenenyanga ebibi byabwe n’ebyonoono bya bakitaabwe n’obunnanfuusi bwabwe gye ndi n’obujeemu bwabwe,
“But your descendants must confess their sins and the sins that their ancestors committed. Their ancestors acted unfaithfully toward me and were hostile to me, with the result that I forced them to go to the countries that belonged to their enemies. But when your descendants humble themselves [SYN] and stop being very stubborn [IDM] and accept being punished for their sins,
41 ebyandeetera okubalaga obukambwe ne mbasindika ne mu nsi z’abalabe baabwe, era amalala g’emitima gyabwe egitali mikomole bwe galikkakkana ne bakkiriza okukola ebibonerezo olw’ebyonoono byabwe,
42 kale ndijjukira endagaano yange ne Yakobo, ne nzijukira endagaano yange ne Isaaka n’endagaano yange ne Ibulayimu, era ndijjukira n’ensi yaabwe.
I will remember the agreement that I made with [your ancestors] Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and [what I promised them about] this land.
43 Naye ensi banaabanga bagivuddemu n’efuna ssabbiiti zaayo kubanga abaagibeerangamu tebakyagirimu. Banaabonerezebwanga olw’ebibi byabwe kubanga baanyoomoolanga amateeka gange ne batagondera biragiro byange.
But [before that happens], you will be forced to leave your land, with the result that the land will be able to rest while it is desolate and while the people are being punished for rejecting my laws and hating my decrees [DOU].
44 Newaakubadde ng’ebyo biriba bwe bityo, bwe banaabanga mu nsi z’abalabe baabwe, siibeggyengako wadde okubakyawanga n’okumenyawo ne mmenyerawo ddala endagaano yange gye nalagaana nabo; kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda waabwe.
But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh their God.
45 Naye ku lwabwe, najjukiranga endagaano gye nalagaana ne bajjajjaabwe, be naggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri nga n’amawanga gonna galaba ndyoke mbeere Katonda waabwe. Nze Mukama.”
I will (remember/never forget) the agreement that I made with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, in order that the people of all nations will know that I, Yahweh, [will continue to] be your God.”
46 Ago ge mateeka n’ebiragiro n’amateeka amakulu Mukama ge yakolera abaana ba Isirayiri, nga bwe yalagira Musa, ku lusozi Sinaayi.
Those are the decrees, the laws, and the regulations [DOU] that Yahweh established on Sinai Mountain between himself and the Israeli people by [giving them to] Moses/me [to tell to them].
