Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 27

1 Awo Musa ng’ali n’abakulu abakulembeze ba Isirayiri n’alagira abantu nti, “Ebiragiro byonna bye mbategeeza leero mubikuumenga.

Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.

2 Bwe mumalanga okusomoka omugga Yoludaani n’oyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, oddiranga amayinja amanene n’ogategeka n’ogakubako omuyiko ogw’ennoni ng’etabuddwamu omusenyu.

It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:

3 Ogawandiikangako ebigambo bino byonna eby’amateeka, ng’omaze okusomoka, ng’oyingidde mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, y’ensi omukulukutira amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, nga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabo bwe yakusuubiza.

and you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

4 Bw’otyo, bw’olimala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, otegekanga amayinja ago ku Lusozi Ebali nga bwe mbalagira kaakano, era ogakubangako omuyiko ogw’ennoni ng’etabuddwamu omusenyu.

It shall be, when you have passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.

5 Era Mukama Katonda wo olimuzimbira eyo ekyoto n’amayinja amalamba agatali matemeko na kyuma.

There you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron on them.

6 Olizimbira eyo Mukama Katonda wo ekyoto n’amayinja amalamba n’oweerako ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wo.

You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to the LORD your God:

7 Oliwaayo ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’obiriira eyo ng’osanyukira mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.

and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God.

8 Era ku mayinja ago g’oliba otegese oliwandiikako n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna eby’amateeka gano.”

You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly."

9 Awo Musa ng’ali n’Abaleevi, bakabona, n’agamba Abayisirayiri bonna nti, “Sirika owulire ggwe Isirayiri! Ku lunaku lwa leero lwennyini ofuuse eggwanga lya Mukama Katonda wo.

Moses and the cohanim the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you have become the people of the LORD your God.

10 Noolwekyo ogonderanga Mukama Katonda wo n’okwatanga amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkulagira leero.”

You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."

11 Ku lunaku lwe lumu Musa yakuutira abantu bw’ati nti,

Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,

12 Bwe mulimala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, ab’omu bika bino baliyimirira ku Lusozi Gerizimu ne basabira abantu omukisa: Simyoni, ne Leevi, ne Yuda, ne Isakaali, ne Yusufu, ne Benyamini.

"These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.

13 Ate ab’omu bika bino baliyimirira ku Lusozi Ebali ne balangirira ebikolimo: Lewubeeni, ne Gaadi, ne Aseri, ne Zebbulooni, ne Ddaani, ne Nafutaali.

These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 Awo Abaleevi balirangirira n’eddoboozi ddene eri abantu bonna Abayisirayiri nti:
