Leviticus 20
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: If any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers, that dwell in Israel, give of his seed to the idol Moloch, dying let him die: the people of the land shall stone him.
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri bw’oti nti, Omuyisirayiri yenna, oba omunnaggwanga atuula mu Isirayiri, bw’anaawangayo omwana we ng’ekiweebwayo eri Moleki, kitaawe w’omwana oyo ajjanga kuttibwa. Abantu ab’omu kitundu ekyo mw’abeera banaamukubanga amayinja.
3 And I will set my face against him: and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name.
Nange kennyini, omuntu oyo nnaamunyiigiranga, era nnaamugobanga ne mmugaana okukolagananga ne banne, kubanga awaddeyo omu ku baana be ng’ekiweebwayo eri Moleki, n’ayonoona Awatukuvu wange era n’avumisa erinnya lyange ettukuvu.
4 And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed to Moloch, and will not kill him:
Era abantu ab’omu kitundu ekyo mw’abeera, bwe banaamuzibiranga ku liiso, omuntu oyo awaddeyo omwana we eri Moleki, ne batamutta,
5 I will set my face against that man, and his kindred, and will cut off both him and all that consented with him, to commit fornication with Moloch, out of the midst of their people.
omuntu oyo nnaamunyiigiranga, ne ku b’omu nnyumba ye, ne mbagoba ne mbagaana okukolagananga ne bannaabwe, ye ne banne abakolaganye naye mu kukuba obwamalaaya ne Moleki.
6 The soul that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and shall commit fornication with them, I will set my face against that soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people.
“‘Omuntu bw’anaakolagananga n’abasamize, n’abalogo, n’akuba nabo obwamalaaya, nnaamunyiigiranga, era nnaamugobanga ne mugaana okukolagana ne banne.
7 Sanctify yourselves, and be ye holy because I am the Lord your God.
“‘Noolwekyo mwetukuze mubeerenga batukuvu, kubanga Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.
8 Keep my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord that sanctify you.
Mukwatenga amateeka gange, mugagobererenga. Nze Mukama abatukuza.
9 He that curseth his father, or mother, dying let him die: he hath cursed his father, and mother, let his blood be upon him.
“‘Omuntu yenna anaakolimiranga kitaawe oba nnyina wa kuttibwanga. Noolwekyo akolimidde kitaawe oba nnyina, omusaayi gwe gunaabanga ku mutwe gwe.
10 If any man commit adultery with the wife of another, and defile his neighbour’s wife, let them be put to death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
“‘Omusajja bwanaayendanga ku muka omusajja, bombi, omusajja ayenze n’omukazi gw’ayenzeeko banattibwanga.
11 If a man lie with his stepmother, and discover the nakedness of his father, let them both be put to death: their blood be upon them.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka kitaawe, anaabanga aweebudde kitaawe. Bombi omusajja n’omukazi banattibwanga; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
12 If any man lie with his daughter in law, let both die, because they have done a heinous crime: their blood be upon them.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka mutabani we, bombi banattibwanga. Kubanga bombi banaabanga bakoze ebyambyone; omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
13 If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination, let them be put to death: their blood be upon them.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne musajja munne nga bwe yandyebase n’omukazi, bombi banaabanga bakoze eky’ekivve; era banattibwanga, n’omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.
14 If any man after marrying the daughter, marry her mother, he hath done a heinous crime: he shall be burnt alive with them: neither shall so great an abomination remain in the midst of you.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga omukazi ate n’atwalirako ne nnyina, ekyo kya kivve. Ye n’abakazi bombi banaayokebwanga mu muliro, bwe mutyo ekyonoono ekyo ne mukyegobako.
15 He that shall copulate with any beast or cattle, dying let him die, the beast also ye shall kill.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaakolanga eby’ensonyi ku nsolo, anattibwanga, era n’ensolo munaagittanga.
16 The woman that shall lie under any beast, shall be killed together with the same: their blood be upon them.
“‘Omukazi bw’anaasembereranga ensolo alyoke akole nayo eby’ensonyi, mumuttanga n’ensolo ne mugitta. Omukazi anattibwanga n’ensolo nettibwa; omusaayi gw’omukazi gunaabanga ku mutwe gwe, n’ogw’ensolo gunaabanga ku mutwe gwayo.
17 If any man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother, and see her nakedness, and she behold her brother’s shame: they have committed a crime: they shall be slain, in the sight of their people, because they have discovered one another’s nakedness, and they shall bear their iniquity.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga mwannyina, oba nga mwanamuwala wa kitaawe, oba nga mwanamuwala wa nnyina, ne beebaka bombi, kinaabanga kya buwemu. Bombi banaagobwanga mu bannaabwe ne babagaana okukolagananga nabo. Kubanga omusajja oyo anaabanga aweebudde mwannyina, era y’aneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna olw’ekibi ekyo.
18 If any man lie with a woman in her flowers, and uncover her nakedness, and she open the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed out of the midst of their people.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga n’omukazi mu biseera by’omukazi, ebya buli mwezi ng’empisa y’abakazi bw’eba, anaabanga abikudde ensulo y’omusaayi gw’omukazi oyo, era n’omukazi anaabanga yeebikudde. Bombi banaagobwanga mu bannaabwe ne babagaana okukolagananga nabo.
19 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy aunt by thy mother, and of thy aunt by thy father: he that doth this, hath uncovered the shame of his own flesh, both shall bear their iniquity.
“‘Teweebakanga na mukazi muganda wa nnyoko oba ne mwannyina wa kitaawo n’okola naye eby’ensonyi, kubanga ekyo kiweebuula owooluganda ow’okumpi. Mwembi munaavunaanyizibwanga olw’ekyonoono kyammwe ekyo.
20 If any mall lie with the wife of his uncle by the father, or of his uncle by the mother, and uncover the shame of his near akin, both shall bear their sin: they shall die without children.
“‘Omusajja bw’aneebakanga ne muka kitaawe omuto oba ne muka kojjaawe, anaabanga aweebudde bakadde be abo. Omusajja oyo n’omukazi oyo be baneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa obw’ekibi ekyo, era balifa nga tebalina baana.
21 He that marrieth his brother’s wife, doth an unlawful thing, he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness: they shall be without children.
“‘Omusajja bw’anaawasanga muka muganda we, kinaabanga ekikolwa ekitali kirongoofu, kubanga aweebudde muganda we. Tebalizaala baana.
22 Keep my laws and my judgments, and do them: lest the land into which you are to enter to dwell therein, vomit you also out.
“‘Kale nno, mukwatenga amateeka gange gonna n’ebiragiro byange byonna, era mubikolerengako, ensi mwe mbatwala okutuulanga eryoke ereme kubasesema.
23 Walk not after the laws of the nations, which I will cast out before you. For they have done all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Era temugobereranga mpisa ez’amawanga ge ŋŋenda ngoba mu nsi eyo; kubanga baakola ebintu ebyo byonna, noolwekyo mbakyawa nnyo.
24 But to you I say: Possess their land which I will give you for an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from other people.
Naye nabategeeza nti, “Mulisikira ensi yaabwe, era ndigibawa ne mugirya, ye nsi omukulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.” Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe eyabaawula ku mawanga amalala.
25 Therefore do you also separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the clean fowl from the unclean: defile not your souls with beasts, or birds, or any things that move on the earth, and which I have shewn you to be unclean.
“‘Noolwekyo mujjanga kwawulamu ensolo ennongoofu n’etali nnongoofu, n’ennyonyi ennongoofu n’etali nnongoofu. Temufuukanga abatali balongoofu olw’ensolo oba ennyonyi, oba ebiramu byonna ebitambula ku ttaka, bye mmaze okwawulako ne mbibategeeza nti si birongoofu.
26 You shall be holy unto me, because I the Lord am holy, and I have separated you from other people, that you should be mine.
Kibasaanira okubeeranga abatukuvu gye ndi, kubanga Nze, Mukama, ndi mutukuvu, era mbaawudde ku mawanga amalala mubeerenga ggwanga lyange.
27 A man, or woman, in whom there is a pythonical or divining spirit, dying let them die: they shall stone them: their blood be upon them.
“‘Omusajja oba omukazi mu mmwe anaabeeranga omusamize oba omulogo, wa kuttibwanga. Mubakubanga amayinja; era omusaayi gwabwe gunaabanga ku mitwe gyabwe.’”
