< UDutheronomi 12 >
1 “Lezi yizo izimiso lemilayo okumele likugcine ngonanzelelo elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu nxa lilokhu lisahlala kulelolizwe.
Gano ge mateeka n’ebiragiro bye musaana okukwatanga n’obwegendereza, nga muli mu nsi Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabo gy’akuwadde okubeera obutaka bwo ebbanga lyonna lye mulimala ku nsi.
2 Dilizani ngokupheleleyo zonke izindawo izizwe elizinqobayo ezazikhonzela onkulunkulu bazo khona, ezintabeni eziphakemeyo lasemaqaqeni kanye langaphansi kwezihlahla ezinabileyo.
Muzikiririzanga ddala ebifo byonna ebiri ku gasozi ne ku nsozi, ne wansi w’agati aganene,
3 Dilizani ama-alithare ezizwe, libhidlize amatshe abawakhonzayo litshise izinsika zika-Ashera emlilweni, dilizelani phansi izithombe zabo lihle lichithe licitshe amabizo abo kulezondawo.
bannaggwanga be mugenda okutwalako ensi yaabwe gye basinziza; n’amayinja gaabwe mugaasaayasanga, n’empagi zaabwe eza Asera mulizimenyaamenya ne muzookya mu muliro; n’ebibajje ebya bakatonda baabwe mubitemaatemanga n’amannya gaabwe mu bifo ebyo ne mugasanguliramu ddala.
4 Lingalandeli izindlela zabo zokukhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
Mukama Katonda wammwe, ye temumusinzanga mu ngeri eyo nga bali bwe bakola.
5 Kodwa lizadinga indawo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azayikhetha phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zenu, ukuze abeke iBizo lakhe lapho, ahlale khona. Kumele liye kuleyondawo;
Mmwe munoonyanga mu bika byammwe byonna, ekifo Mukama Katonda wammwe ky’alibalondera we munaateekanga Erinnya lye ne mumuzimbira awo ennyumba ye ey’okubeerangamu. Mu kifo ekyo gye munaagendanga okumusinza;
6 khonapho lilethe iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, lokwetshumi kwenu lezipho zenu eziqakathekileyo, lokho elifunge ukukunikela kanye leminikelo yenu yokuzithandela, amazibulo emihlambi yenu yenkomo leyezimvu.
awo we munaaleetanga ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa ne biweebwayo ebirala, n’ebitundu byammwe eby’ekkumi, n’ebirabo eby’enjawulo, n’obweyamo bwammwe, n’ebiweebwayo ebya kyeyagalire, n’ebibereberye eby’omu bisibo byammwe n’eby’omu biraalo byammwe.
7 Khonapho, phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina kanye labantwabenu lizakudla njalo lijabule ngakho konke elike labeka izandla zenu kukho, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulibusisile.
Mmwe n’ab’omu nnyumba zammwe munaaliiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wammwe, munaasanyukanga ne mwenyumirizanga mu buli kintu kyonna kye munaabanga mukoze n’emikono gyammwe, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo anaabanga akuwadde omukisa.
8 Lingabokwenza njengalokhu esikwenza lamuhla, ngamunye esenza njengokuthanda kwakhe,
Temukolanga nga bwe tukola wano leero, nga buli omu akola nga bw’alaba ekisaanidde,
9 ngoba alikangeni endaweni yokuphumula kanye lelifeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona.
kubanga temunnatuuka mu kiwummulo ne mu busika Mukama Katonda wammwe bw’abawa.
10 Kodwa lizachapha uJodani liyekwakha lihlale elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona ukuba libe yilifa lenu, njalo uzaliphumuza ezitheni zenu elakhelene lazo ukuze lihlale livikelekile.
Naye bwe mulimala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, ne mubeera mu nsi Mukama Katonda wammwe gy’abawa nga bwe busika bwammwe, ng’abawadde n’okuwummula, nga temukyataataaganyizibwa balabe bammwe abanaabanga babeetoolodde n’okutuula ne mutuulanga mu mirembe;
11 Okumayelana lendawo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azayikhetha ibe likhaya leBizo lakhe, kulapho elizaletha konke engililaya ngakho: iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, okwetshumi kwenu lezipho zenu eziqakathekileyo, kanye lazozonke impahla elikhethe ukufunga ngazo kuThixo.
kale nno, mu kifo ekyo Mukama Katonda wammwe kyanaabanga yeerondedde okutuuzanga omwo Erinnya lye, omwo mwe munaaleetanga buli kintu kyonna kye mbalagira: ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo ebirala, n’ebitundu byammwe eby’ekkumi, n’ebirabo eby’enjawulo, n’ebirabo ebisinga obulungi mu bintu byammwe bye munaabanga mweyamye okuwaayo eri Mukama.
12 Khona lapho lijabule phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina, amadodana lamadodakazi enu, izinceku lezincekukazi zenu, kanye labaLevi abavela emadolobheni enu, abangelasabelo loba ilifa abaliphiwayo libe ngelabo.
Munaasanyukiranga awo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wammwe, mmwe, ne batabani bammwe, ne bawala bammwe, n’abaweereza bammwe abasajja, n’abaweereza bammwe abakazi, n’Abaleevi ab’omu bibuga byammwe, kubanga bo ku bwabwe tebalifuna mugabo oba obusika okufaanana nga mmwe.
13 Limukani linganikeleli iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa ingqe kungaphi elithanda khona.
Weekuumanga n’otaweerayo biweebwayo by’omu buli kifo kyonna ky’onoolabanga.
14 Nikelelani kuphela endaweni uThixo azayikhetha phakathi kwezizwana zenu kuthi selilapho linanzelele konke engililaya ngakho.
Obiweerengayo mu kifo ekyo ekimu kyokka Mukama ky’anaakulonderanga okuva mu kimu ku bika byo; era omwo mw’onookoleranga ebyo byonna bye nkulagira.
15 Ngalokho-ke, selilakho ukuhlaba izifuyo zenu lizibulale njengalokhu okwenziwayo emadolobheni enu njalo lidle yonke leyonyama elifisa ukuyidla, kungani lithaka loba imbabala, kusiya ngesibusiso leso lowo lalowo ayabe ebusiswe ngaso nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Bonke labangahlanzekanga labahlanzekileyo ngokomkhuba bavunyelwe ukuyidla.
Naye onettiranga ku bisolo ebinaabanga mu bibuga byo, oba mpeewo oba njaza, n’olya ennyama nnyingi nga bw’onooyagalanga, ng’omukisa bwe guli Mukama Katonda wo gw’anaakuwanga. Abalongoofu mu by’emikolo n’abatali balongoofu, bonna banaalyanga.
16 Kodwa lingadli igazi lazo; lilahleni kungathi lichitha amanzi phansi.
Wabula omusaayi temugulyanga; munaaguyiwanga wansi ku ttaka ng’amazzi.
17 Lingakudli emadolobheni enu okwetshumi kwamabele enu kanye lokwewayini elitsha lamafutha, loba amazibulo emihlambi yezifuyo zenu, lakho konke eselifunge lathembisa ukuba lizanikela ngakho, leminikelo yenu yokuzithandela loba izipho eziqakathekileyo.
Mu bibuga byo toliirangamu kitundu ekimu eky’ekkumi eky’emmere yo ey’empeke, oba ekya wayini wo, oba eky’amafuta go; oba ebibereberye eby’omu bisibo byo n’eby’omu biraalo byo, oba n’obweyamo bwo oba n’ebiweebwayo ebya kyeyagalire; wadde n’ebirabo ebitali bya bulijjo.
18 Kodwa kumele likudle phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina, amadodana lamadodakazi enu, izinceku lezincekukazi zenu, kanye labaLevi abavela emadolobheni enu, lina labo lizajabula phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngakho konke elikuphatha ngezandla zenu.
Onoobiriiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo, mu kifo ekyo Mukama Katonda wo ky’anaabanga akulondedde; ggwe, ne mutabani wo, ne muwala wo, n’omuweereza wo omusajja n’omuweereza wo omukazi, n’Omuleevi anaabanga mu bibuga byo, era onoosanyukiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo mu buli kintu kyonna ky’onoobanga okoze n’emikono gyo.
19 Linanzelele lingalibali beselikhohlwa abaLevi nxa lilokhu lisahlala elizweni lenu.
Weekuumanga nnyo obutalagajjaliranga Muleevi ebbanga lyonna ly’olimala ng’oli mulamu ku nsi.
20 Nxa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu eseqhelisile ilizwe lenu njengokulethembisa kwakhe, libe seliloyisa ukudla inyama lithi, ‘Ngifisa ukudla inyama,’ kulapho elizakudla khona lize lifike lapho elithanda khona.
Mukama Katonda wo bw’aligaziya amatwale go, nga bwe yakusuubiza, n’oyoyanga okulya ku nnyama ng’ogamba nti, “Nandiyagadde okulya ku nnyama.” Kale, onoolyanga ennyama ennyingi nga bw’onooyagalanga.
21 Nxa indawo leyo lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu akhetha ukubeka iBizo lakhe ikhatshana kakhulu lani, lingahlaba emihlambini yezifuyo leyezimvu njengokuyiphiwa kwenu nguThixo, njengoba ngililayile, kuthi emadolobheni enu lizidle lezozifuyo njengokuthanda kwenu.
Ekifo, Mukama Katonda wo ky’anaabanga akulondedde okuteekamu Erinnya lye, bwe kinaabanga kiri wala n’ewuwo kale onooyinzanga okutta ku zimu ku nsolo ez’omu bisibo byo ne mu biraalo byo Mukama by’anaabanga akuwadde, nga bwe nkulagidde; era mu bibuga byo onooyinzanga okulya ennyama ennyingi nga bw’onooyagalanga.
22 Lidle kungathi lidla ithaka lembabala. Bonke abangahlanzekanga ngokomkhuba labahlanzekileyo bangadla.
Onoogiryanga nga bw’onoolyanga empeewo n’enjaza. Abalongoofu n’abatali balongoofu bonna banaalyanga.
23 Kodwa linanzelele lingadli igazi, ngoba igazi yiyo impilo ngakho akufanelanga ukuthi lidle impilo lenyama.
Naye weekuumenga obutalyanga musaayi; kubanga omusaayi bwe bulamu, ate nga tekikugwaniranga kulyanga bulamu ng’olya ennyama.
24 Lingabokudla igazi; lichitheleni emhlabathini kungathi lilahla amanzi.
Togulyanga; oguyiwanga wansi ku ttaka ng’amazzi.
25 Lingadli, ukuze kulihambele kuhle lina kanye labantwabenu abezayo, ngoba lizabe lenze okuhle emehlweni kaThixo.
Togulyanga, olyoke obeerenga mu ddembe, ggwe, n’abaana bo, ng’okoze ebituufu mu maaso ga Mukama.
26 Kodwa thathani lokho okugcotshiweyo lalokho elifunge ukukunikela lisuke liye endaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo.
Naye ebintu byo ebitukuvu ne byonna by’oneeyamanga okuwaayo, onoobiddiranga n’obitwalanga mu kifo Mukama ky’anaabanga akulondedde.
27 Lethani iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa e-alithareni likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, konke inyama kanye legazi. Igazi leminikelo yenu lilichithele phansi kwe-alithari likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, kodwa lingadla inyama yakhona.
Onooleetanga ebiweebwayo byo ebyokebwa, ennyama n’omusaayi, ku Kyoto kya Mukama Katonda wo. Omusaayi gw’ebiweebwayo byo ebirala gunaafukibwanga ku Kyoto kya Mukama Katonda wo, naye ennyama onooyinzanga okugirya.
28 Linanzelele lilandele iziqondiso zonke engilinika zona, ukuze kulihambele kuhle lina kanye labantwabenu abezayo ngemva kwenu, ngoba lizabe lenze okuhle njalo kulungile emehlweni kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
Weegenderezenga okugoberera ebiragiro bino byonna bye nkuwa, olyoke obeenga bulungi, ggwe, n’abaana bo, oluvannyuma lwo, emirembe gyonna, kubanga onoobanga okoze ekituufu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
29 UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzazichitha phambi kwenu zonke izizwe okufanele lizihlasele libe selizemuka okungokwazo. Kodwa nxa selizinqobile lazichitha selihlezi elizweni lazo,
Amawanga ago g’ogenda okulumba ogatwaleko ensi yaabwe, Mukama agenda kugazikiriza nga naawe olaba. Naye bw’obanga omaze okubagoba mu nsi yaabwe, n’okugibeeramu n’ogibeeramu,
30 njalo nxa sezichithiwe phambi kwenu, liqaphele lingahugeki ngokubuza ngabonkulunkulu bazo lisithi, ‘Kanti zona lezizizwe zibakhonza njani onkulunkulu bazo? Lathi sizakwenza okufananayo.’
era ng’amawanga ago gamaze okuzikirizibwa nga naawe olaba, weekuumanga n’otabuuliriza ku bya bakatonda baabwe ng’ogamba nti, “Ab’omu mawanga ago baasinzanga batya bakatonda baabwe, nange njagala nkole bwe ntyo?”
31 Lingabokhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngendlela abakhonza ngayo, ngoba ekukhonzeni kwabo onkulunkulu babo, benza konke okunengisayo okungasoze kwamukeleke kuThixo. Baya baze batshise amadodana lamadodakazi abo emlilweni bethi bayanikela kubonkulunkulu babo.
Mukama Katonda wo tomusinzanga mu ngeri efaanana ng’eya bali, kubanga mu kusinza bakatonda baabwe bakoleramu ebikolobero bingi Mukama by’atayagala, by’akyawa. Bayokya ne batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe mu muliro nga ssaddaaka eri bakatonda baabwe.
32 Nanzelelani ukuthi lenza lokho engililaya ngakho, lingengezeleli loba liphungule kulokho.”
Kibagwanidde okunyiikiranga okukolanga buli kintu kye mbalagira, tokyongerangako wadde okukikendeezangako.
