Ebyabaleevi 9
1 Ku lunaku olw’omunaana Musa n’ayita Alooni ne batabani be n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri.
Eight days later, Moses/I summoned the elders of Israel.
2 N’agamba Alooni nti, “Ddira ennyana eya sseddume eweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’endiga ennume olw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, nga zombi teziriiko kamogo, oziweeyo ng’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda.
Then he/I said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for the offering to enable you leaders to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and a ram to be completely burned [on the altar], both of them without any defects, and offer them to Yahweh.
3 Ogambe abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Muddire embuzi ennume eweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ennyana n’omwana gw’endiga, nga zino zombi zaakamala omwaka gumu obukulu era nga teziriiko kamogo, nga za kiweebwayo ekyokebwa;
Then say to the Israeli people, ‘Take one male goat for the offering to enable you all to be forgiven for the sins you have committed. Also take a calf and a lamb that have no defects, to be an offering completely burned [on the altar].
4 era n’ente eya sseddume n’endiga ennume eby’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke nga mulimu amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni, byonna mubiweeyo nga kye kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda; kubanga ku lunaku lwa leero Mukama Katonda ajja kubalabikira.’”
Also take an ox and a ram to be an offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh], along with an offering of flour mixed with olive oil. Do this because today Yahweh is going to appear to you.’”
5 Bwe batyo ne baleeta byonna Musa bye yabalagira okuleeta mu maaso ga Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Abantu bonna, kye kibiina ekinene, ne basembera ne bayimirira awali Mukama Katonda.
[After Moses/I told this to the Israeli people, some of them] took the things that Moses/I had commanded them to take, and went to the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent. Then all the people came near and stood in front of Yahweh.
6 Musa n’alyoka abagamba nti, “Kino kye kyo Mukama Katonda kye yabagambye okukola, era ekitiibwa kya Mukama kijja kubalabikira.”
Then Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded you to do, in order that his glory will appear to you.”
7 Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Sembera ku kyoto oweeyo ekiweebwayo kyo olw’ebyonoono byo, n’ekiweebwayo kyo ekyokebwa, olyoke weetangiririre awamu n’abantu era oleete ekiweebwayo eky’abantu; obatangiririre; nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagidde.”
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice the animal that is your offering to enable you to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and the animal that will be completely burned there. Because of those offerings, God will forgive you and the people for the sins that you have committed [DOU]. Do those things that Yahweh has commanded.”
8 Awo Alooni n’asembera ku kyoto, n’atta ennyana ey’ekiweebwayo kye olw’ebyonoono bye.
So Aaron came close to the altar and slaughtered the calf to be an offering for his sins.
9 Batabani ba Alooni ne bamuleetera omusaayi, n’annyika olunwe lwe mu musaayi n’agusiiga ku mayembe ag’oku kyoto, n’afuka omusaayi ku ntobo y’ekyoto.
His sons brought its blood to him [in a bowl]. He dipped his finger into the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
10 N’addira amasavu n’ensigo n’ebibikka ku kibumba eby’omu kiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’abyokera ku kyoto, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
He/I burned the fat, including that which covered the kidneys and the liver, as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
11 Ennyama n’eddiba n’abyokera mu muliro ebweru w’olusiisira.
Then Aaron burned [the rest of] the meat and the hide/skin outside the camp.
12 Alooni n’atta ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa; batabani be ne bamuleetera omusaayi, n’agumansira ku kyoto okukyebungulula.
Then Aaron slaughtered the animal that would be completely burned [on the altar]. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] its blood, and he sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.
13 Ne bamuleetera ebifi eby’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa nga n’omutwe kweguli; byonna n’abyokera ku kyoto.
Then they handed him the head and the pieces of the animal that would be burned, and he burned them on the altar.
14 N’ayoza ebyenda n’amagulu, n’abyokera wamu n’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ku kyoto.
He washed the inner parts and the legs of the animal, and burned them on the altar, on top of the other pieces of the animal.
15 Awo Alooni n’aleeta ekiweebwayo olw’abantu. Yaddira embuzi ey’ekiweebwayo olw’ebibi by’abantu n’agitta, n’agiwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo kye olw’ekibi, kye yasooka olw’ebibi bye.
Then Aaron brought the animals that would be sacrifices for the Israeli people. He took the goat and slaughtered it to be an offering to enable them to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, like he had done with the goat for his own offering.
16 N’aleeta ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’akiwaayo ng’etteeka bwe liragira.
Then he brought the animal for the offering to be completely burned. He slaughtered it and offered it in the way that Yahweh had commanded him to do.
17 N’aleeta ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke, n’ayoolamu olubatu, n’akyokya ku kyoto okuliraana n’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa eky’omu makya.
He also brought the offering of grain. He took a handful of it and burned it on the altar, like he had done for the animal that he had slaughtered and completely burned [on the altar] in the morning.
18 Ente ya sseddume n’endiga ennume nazo n’azitta, nga bye biweebwayo olw’emirembe eby’abantu; batabani ba Alooni ne bamuleetera omusaayi, n’agumansira ku kyoto okukyebungulula enjuuyi zonna.
Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, to be an offering for the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] the blood, and he sprinkled the blood against all sides of the altar.
19 Naye amasavu ag’ente eya sseddume n’ago ag’endiga ennume, n’amasavu ag’oku mukira, n’ago agabikka ku byenda, n’ensigo, n’agabikka ku kibumba,
But he took the fat from the ox and the ram, including their fat tails that were cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covered the livers and the kidneys.
20 ne bateeka amasavu gaabyo ku bifuba by’ensolo ezo, n’ayokya amasavu ago ku kyoto;
He put them on top of the breasts of those animals and carried them to the altar to be burned.
21 naye ebifuba n’ekisambi ekya ddyo, Alooni n’abiwuubawuuba mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda nga kye kiweebwayo ekiwuubibwa, nga Musa bwe yalagira.
Then, doing what Moses/I had commanded, he lifted up in front of Yahweh the breast and the right thigh of those animals, to signify that those two animals completely belonged to Yahweh.
22 Awo Alooni n’awanikira abantu emikono gye, n’abasabira omukisa. Bw’atyo Alooni ng’amaze okuwaayo ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’ekiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’avaayo ku kyoto.
Then Aaron lifted his arms toward the people and [asked Yahweh to] bless them. Then having finished making all those offerings, he stepped down [from the place where the altar was].
23 Musa ne Alooni ne bayingira mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Bwe baafuluma ne basabira abantu omukisa, era ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda ne kirabikira abantu bonna.
Then Aaron and Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent. When they/we later came out, they/we [asked Yahweh to] bless the people. And suddenly the glory/brightness of Yahweh appeared to all the people.
24 Omuliro ne gujja nga guva eri Mukama Katonda ne gumalirawo ddala ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’amasavu ebyali ku kyoto. Awo abantu bonna bwe baakiraba ne baleekaana ne bagalamira wansi ng’amaaso gaabwe gali ku ttaka.
A fire from Yahweh appeared and burned up the offering that was to be completely burned and the fat that was on the altar. And when all the people saw that, they shouted joyfully and prostrated themselves on the ground [to worship Yahweh].
