Deuteronomy 27
1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people saying, —Observe all the commandment which I am commanding you to-day.
Awo Musa ng’ali n’abakulu abakulembeze ba Isirayiri n’alagira abantu nti, “Ebiragiro byonna bye mbategeeza leero mubikuumenga.
2 So then it shall be in the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan, into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, —that thou shalt rear thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster;
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.
3 and shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou shalt pass over, —to the end that thou mayest enter upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee.
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.
4 So then it shall be when ye shall pass over the Jordan, that ye shall rear up these stones which I am commanding you to-day in Mount Ebal, —and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
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.
5 And thou shalt build there an altar unto Yahweh thy God, —an altar of stones, thou shalt not wield thereupon any tool of iron.
Era Mukama Katonda wo olimuzimbira eyo ekyoto n’amayinja amalamba agatali matemeko na kyuma.
6 Of whole stones, shalt thou build the altar of Yahweh thy God, —then shalt thou cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifices, unto Yahweh thy God;
Olizimbira eyo Mukama Katonda wo ekyoto n’amayinja amalamba n’oweerako ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wo.
7 and thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings and shalt eat there, —and rejoice before Yahweh thy God.
Oliwaayo ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’obiriira eyo ng’osanyukira mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.
8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law doing it plainly and well.
Era ku mayinja ago g’oliba otegese oliwandiikako n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna eby’amateeka gano.”
9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel saying, —Keep silence and hear O Israel, This day, hast thou been made a people unto Yahweh thy God.
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.
10 Thou shalt therefore hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, —and do his commandments and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.
Noolwekyo ogonderanga Mukama Katonda wo n’okwatanga amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkulagira leero.”
11 And Moses commanded the people on that day, saying:
Ku lunaku lwe lumu Musa yakuutira abantu bw’ati nti,
12 These, shall stand to bless the people upon Mount Gerizim, when ye have passed over the Jordan, —Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;
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.
13 and, these, shall stand by the curse in Mount Ebal, —Reuben Gad and Asher, and Zebulun Dan and Naphtali.
Ate ab’omu bika bino baliyimirira ku Lusozi Ebali ne balangirira ebikolimo: Lewubeeni, ne Gaadi, ne Aseri, ne Zebbulooni, ne Ddaani, ne Nafutaali.
14 Then shall the Levites respond and say unto every man of Israel with voice uplifted: —
Awo Abaleevi balirangirira n’eddoboozi ddene eri abantu bonna Abayisirayiri nti:
15 Cursed, be the man that maketh an image—cut or molten—an abomination unto Yahweh the work of the hands of the craftsman and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall respond and say—Amen.
