Deuteronomy 23
1 None that is hurt by bursting, or that hath his priuie member cut off, shall enter into the Congregation of the Lord.
“Omuntu yenna ng’ebitundu by’omubiri gwe eby’ekyama byabetentebwa oba nga byasalibwako, taayingirenga mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda.
2 A bastard shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord: euen to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the Congregation of the Lord.
“Abantu bonna abanaazaalibwanga mu bufumbo obutaabenga butukuvu tebaayingirenga mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda. Bazzukulu baabwe okutuusa ku mulembe ogw’ekkumi, nabo tebayingiranga mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda.
3 The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord: euen to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the Congregation of the Lord for euer,
“Abamoni n’Abamowaabu ne bazzukulu baabwe okutuusa ku mulembe ogw’ekkumi tebayingiranga mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda.
4 Because they met you not with bread and water in the way, when yee came out of Egypt, and because they hyred against thee Balaam the sonne of Beor, of Pethor in Aram-naharaim, to curse thee.
Kubanga bwe mwali muva mu nsi y’e Misiri, tebajja kubaaniriza n’okubaleetera ku mmere ne ku mazzi; ate ne bapangisa Balamu mutabani wa Byoli nga bamuggya e Pesoli eky’omu Mesopotamiya, okubakolimira.
5 Neuerthelesse, the Lord thy God would not hearken vnto Balaam, but the Lord thy God turned the curse to a blessing vnto thee, because the Lord thy God loued thee.
Kyokka Mukama Katonda wo n’alemesa Balamu; ekikolimo n’akikufuuliramu omukisa, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo akwagala nnyo.
6 Thou shalt not seeke their peace nor their prosperitie all thy dayes for euer.
Tokolanga nabo endagaano ey’omukwano n’okubayamba mu mbeera yaabwe ebbanga lyonna ly’olimala ng’oli mulamu.
7 Thou shalt not abhorre an Edomite: for he is thy brother, neither shalt thou abhorre an Egyptian, because thou wast a strager in his land.
“Omwedomu tomukyawanga kubanga omulinako oluganda. Tokyawanga Mumisiri n’omu kubanga wali mugenyi mu nsi yaabwe.
8 The children that are begotten of them in their thirde generation, shall enter into the Congregation of the Lord.
Abaana baabwe ab’omulembe ogwokusatu banaakkirizibwanga okuyingira mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama Katonda.
9 When thou goest out with the host against thine enemies, keepe thee then from all wickednesse.
“Bw’onoogendanga okutabaala abalabe bo weewalenga obutali bulongoofu mu lusiisira lwammwe.
10 If there be among you any that is vncleane by that which commeth to him by night, he shall goe out of the hoste, and shall not enter into the hoste,
Bwe wanaabangawo omusajja mu mmwe eyeeroteredde ekiro, bw’atyo n’aba atali mulongoofu, anaafulumanga mu lusiisira n’abeera ebweru.
11 But at euen he shall wash him selfe with water, and when the sunne is downe, he shall enter into the hoste.
Naye obudde bwe bunaawungeeranga anaanaabanga n’amazzi; enjuba bw’eneemalanga okugwa anaayinzanga okukomawo mu lusiisira.
12 Thou shalt haue a place also without the hoste whither thou shalt resort,
“Onootegekanga ekifo ebweru w’olusiisira ky’onoolagangamu okweteewuluza.
13 And thou shalt haue a paddle among thy weapons, and when thou wouldest sit downe without, thou shalt shalt digge therewith, and returning thou shalt couer thine excrements.
Onoogendangayo n’eby’okukozesa. Onootwalanga ekifumu, bw’onoomalanga okweteewuluza onoosimanga ekinnya n’oziikamu ebyo ebivudde mu nda yo.
14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the mids of thy campe to deliuer thee, and to giue thee thine enemies before thee: therefore thine hoste shalbe holy, that he see no filthie thing in thee and turne away from thee.
Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo anaatambulanga naawe, mu lusiisira lwo ng’akulabirira n’okukuyamba okuwangula abalabe bammwe. Noolwekyo olusiisira lwo kirusaanira lubeerenga lutukuvu, Mukama alemenga kusangamu kintu kyonna ekitali kirongoofu mu ggwe ne kimuleeteranga okukuvaako.
15 Thou shalt not deliuer the seruant vnto his master, which is escaped from his master vnto thee.
“Omuddu omugule bw’anaabombanga n’ava ku mukama we mu nsi endala, n’ajja ne yeekweka gy’oli, tomuzzangayo wa mukama we.
16 He shall dwell with thee, euen among you, in what place he shall chuse, in one of thy cities where it liketh him best: thou shalt not vexe him.
Omulekanga n’abeera naawe wakati mu mmwe, mu kimu ku bibuga byo ky’aneerobozanga. Tomujooganga.
17 There shalbe no whore of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a whore keeper of the sonnes of Israel.
“Mu bawala ba Isirayiri temukkirizibwenga kubeerangamu bamalaaya ab’omu masabo, n’abasajja abalya ebisiyaga nabo tebakkirizibwenga mu Isirayiri.
18 Thou shalt neyther bring the hyre of a whore, nor the price of a dogge into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for euen both these are abomination vnto the Lord thy God.
Toleetanga nsimbi, bamalaaya ze banaabanga bafunye mu bwamalaaya, mu nnyumba ya Mukama Katonda wo okusasulira obweyamo, wadde ensimbi z’abasajja abalya ebisiyaga; kubanga Mukama Katonda wo akyayira ddala ebikolwa ebyo byombi.
19 Thou shalt not giue to vsurie to thy brother: as vsurie of money, vsurie of meate, vsurie of any thing that is put to vsurie.
“Omuyisirayiri bw’anaawolanga Muyisirayiri munne ensimbi, oba emmere, oba ebintu ebirala byonna, bw’anaabanga asasulwa tasabirangako magoba gaabyo.
20 Vnto a stranger thou mayest lend vpon vsurie, but thou shalt not lend vpon vsurie vnto thy brother, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in all that thou settest thine hand to, in the land whither thou goest to possesse it.
Bw’onoowolanga bannaggwanga onoobasabirangako amagoba gaako; Mukama Katonda wo alyoke akuwenga omukisa ku buli ky’onookwatangako engalo ng’otuuse mu nsi gy’oli okumpi okuyingira n’okugyefunira.
21 When thou shalt vowe a vowe vnto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not be slacke to paye it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee, and so it should be sinne vnto thee.
“Bw’oneeyamanga obweyamo eri Mukama tolwangawo kubutuukiriza, kubanga ddala ddala Mukama Katonda wo agenda kukikulagira olyoke weewonye omusango olw’ekibi ekyo.
22 But when thou absteinest from vowing, it shalbe no sinne vnto thee.
Naye bw’oteeyamanga bweyamo toobeerengako musango.
23 That which is gone out of thy lippes, thou shalt keepe and performe, as thou hast vowed it willingly vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast spoken it with thy mouth.
Ebyo byonna akamwa ko bye kanaayogeranga kikugwanira okubikolanga, mu ngeri y’emu nga bw’onoobanga weeyamye obweyamo eri Mukama Katonda wo n’akamwa ko.
24 When thou commest vnto thy neighbours vineyard, then thou mayest eate grapes at thy pleasure, as much as thou wilt: but thou shalt put none in thy vessell.
“Bw’onooyingiranga mu nnimiro ya munno ey’emizabbibu, onooyinzanga okwenogeranga ku birimba by’emizabbibu n’olya nga bw’oneetaaganga n’okkuta, naye tossangako mu kibbo okwetwalirako eka.
25 When thou commest into thy neighbours corne thou mayest plucke the eares with thine hand, but thou shalt not moue a sickle to thy neighbours corne.
Bw’onooyingiranga mu nnimiro ya munno ey’emmere ey’empeke, onooyinzanga okwekungulirangako n’engalo zo, naye toddiranga kambe n’osala emmere y’empeke eyo eneebanga tennaba kusalibwa.”
