Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 12
1 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.
These are the statutes and judgments, which all of you shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of your fathers gives you to possess it, all the days that all of you live upon the earth.
2 Muzikiririzanga ddala ebifo byonna ebiri ku gasozi ne ku nsozi, ne wansi w’agati aganene,
All of you shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which all of you shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
3 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.
And all of you shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and all of you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
4 Mukama Katonda wammwe, ye temumusinzanga mu ngeri eyo nga bali bwe bakola.
All of you shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
5 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;
But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall all of you seek, and thither you shall come:
6 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.
And thither all of you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
7 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.
And there all of you shall eat before the LORD your God, and all of you shall rejoice in all that all of you put your hand unto, all of you and your households, wherein the LORD your God has blessed you.
8 Temukolanga nga bwe tukola wano leero, nga buli omu akola nga bw’alaba ekisaanidde,
All of you shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
9 kubanga temunnatuuka mu kiwummulo ne mu busika Mukama Katonda wammwe bw’abawa.
For all of you are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God gives you.
10 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;
But when all of you go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, and when he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that all of you dwell in safety;
11 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.
Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall all of you bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which all of you vow unto the LORD:
12 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.
And all of you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, all of you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he has no part nor inheritance with you.
13 Weekuumanga n’otaweerayo biweebwayo by’omu buli kifo kyonna ky’onoolabanga.
Take heed to yourself that you offer not your burnt offerings in every place that you see:
14 Obiweerengayo mu kifo ekyo ekimu kyokka Mukama ky’anaakulonderanga okuva mu kimu ku bika byo; era omwo mw’onookoleranga ebyo byonna bye nkulagira.
But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.
15 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.
Notwithstanding you may kill and eat flesh in all your gates, whatsoever your soul lusts after, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
16 Wabula omusaayi temugulyanga; munaaguyiwanga wansi ku ttaka ng’amazzi.
Only all of you shall not eat the blood; all of you shall pour it upon the earth as water.
17 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.
You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your corn, or of your wine, or of your oil, or the firstlings of your herds or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, or heave offering of your hand:
18 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.
But you must eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all that you put your hands unto.
19 Weekuumanga nnyo obutalagajjaliranga Muleevi ebbanga lyonna ly’olimala ng’oli mulamu ku nsi.
Take heed to yourself that you forsake not the Levite as long as you live upon the earth.
20 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.
When the LORD your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, because your soul longs to eat flesh; you may eat flesh, whatsoever your soul lusts after.
21 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.
If the place which the LORD your God has chosen to put his name there be too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you, and you shall eat in your gates whatsoever your soul lusts after.
22 Onoogiryanga nga bw’onoolyanga empeewo n’enjaza. Abalongoofu n’abatali balongoofu bonna banaalyanga.
Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so you shall eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
23 Naye weekuumenga obutalyanga musaayi; kubanga omusaayi bwe bulamu, ate nga tekikugwaniranga kulyanga bulamu ng’olya ennyama.
Only be sure that you eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and you may not eat the life with the flesh.
24 Togulyanga; oguyiwanga wansi ku ttaka ng’amazzi.
You shall not eat it; you shall pour it upon the earth as water.
25 Togulyanga, olyoke obeerenga mu ddembe, ggwe, n’abaana bo, ng’okoze ebituufu mu maaso ga Mukama.
You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
26 Naye ebintu byo ebitukuvu ne byonna by’oneeyamanga okuwaayo, onoobiddiranga n’obitwalanga mu kifo Mukama ky’anaabanga akulondedde.
Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
27 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.
And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD your God: and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD your God, and you shall eat the flesh.
28 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.
Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you for ever, when you do that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.
29 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,
When the LORD your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go to possess them, and you succeed them, and dwell in their land;
30 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?”
Take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you; and that you enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 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.
You shall not do so unto the LORD your God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hates, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32 Kibagwanidde okunyiikiranga okukolanga buli kintu kye mbalagira, tokyongerangako wadde okukikendeezangako.
Whatsoever I command you, observe to do it: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
