Aye baidha kulyanga ku bigheebwayo ebyokebwa, ni ku misengo egindi egigheebwayo ye Musengwa Katonda. 2Tibaabenga na itaka lya nsikirano ng’ab’ebika ebindi. Omugabo gwaibwe gunaabanga mu kuba bakabona ba Musengwa Katonda, nga Musengwa Katonda bweyasuubiza. 18:2: Kub 18:20
3“Guno n’omugabo abantu abali kughaayo omusengo, gwe banaaghanga bakabona: bw’enaabanga ente oba entaama, banaaghanga bakabona omukono, n’emba dhombi, n’ebyenda. 4Bakabona era banaafunanga ekitundu ekisooka okukungulwa, eky’engaano yaimwe, n’eky’omwenge gwaimwe ogw’emizabbibu, n’eky’omuzigo gwaimwe ogw’ebibala eby’emiti emyoliva. Era bafunenga n’ekitundu eky’obuviiri bwe musooka okusala ku ntaama dhaimwe. 5Kuba mu bika byaimwe byonabyona, Musengwa Katonda waimwe yalondamu eky’Abalevi, bamugheerezenga enaku dhoonadhoona mu kifo kye eky’okumusinzizangamu.
6“Kiisi Mulevi anaabanga ng’asazeegho okuva mu kibuga kyonakyona mw’aba mu Isiraeli, ng’ayenda aje mu kifo Musengwa Katonda ky’aliba ng’alonzeegho okumusinzizangamu, anaabanga wa idembe okukola ekyo. 7Era aidha kugheerezanga Musengwa Katonda we ng’oti ni Balevi baine boonaboona abagheerezaayo bwe bakola. 8Aidha kufunanga omugabo gw’emere nga n’omulala n’ogwa baine, ng’otoireku ebyo by’anaabanga ng’afunie okuva mu boluganda lwe.”
Okulabula obutajiiranga ku mpisa edh’abatatya Katonda
9Musa yaakoba Abaisiraeli ati: “Bwe mulimala okutuuka mu nsi Musengwa Katonda waimwe y’aja okubagha, mutagezangaku kwega kujiiranga ku mpisa edheenhinhalwa, ng’abamaghanga ago dhe bajiiraku. 10Mu imwe mutabangamu muntu waire omulala ati ayokya mutabane we oba mughala we mu muliro ng’amughaayo ng’omusengo, oba akola eby’obulaguzi, oba akola eby’obulogo, 18:10: Lev 19:26; Kuv 22:18 11oba avaala talasimu, oba akozesa amaghembe, oba asamira. 18:11: Lev 19:31 12Kuba kiisi akola ebintu ng’oti n’ebyo, aba kyenhinhalwa ye Musengwa Katonda. Era olw’ebikolwa ebyo, Musengwa Katonda oyo ky’ali kuva n’abinga amaghanga ago mu biketezo bye muli kumpi okutuukamu. 13Imwe mubenga beesimbu mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda waimwe.” 18:13: Mat 5:48
Katonda asuubiza okubasindikira omulanzi
14Musa yaakoba Abaisiraeli ati: “Abantu ab’omu nsi eyo ye muli kumpi okutwala, bajiira ku bya bulaguzi na bya bulogo. Aye imwe, Musengwa Katonda waimwe tabaganha kujiira ku ebyo. 15Aye aidha kubasindikira omulanzi okuva mu ighanga lyaimwe, ali ng’oti ninze. Oyo ye munaawuliranga. 18:15: Bik 3:22; 7:37
16“Ku lunaku lule lwemwesololezaaku eyo ku lusozi Sinai, mweghemba Musengwa Katonda waimwe mulobe kwirayo kuwulira ng’ali kwogera, waire okwiramu okubona omuliro gwe ogw’amaani. Kuba mwali muli kutya, muti musobola okufa. 17Agho Musengwa Katonda yaakoba ati, ‘Byonabyona bye boogeire bituufu. 18Ndidha kubasindikira omulanzi okuva mu ighanga lyaibwe, ali ng’oti niiwe. Ndidha kumukobera eby’okwogera, olwo abakoberenga byonabyona bye ndimulagira. 19Era kiisi ataatengayo mwoyo ku bibono byange omulanzi oyo by’anaayogeranga mu liina lyange, ndidha kumuvunaananga. 18:19: Bik 3:23 20Aye omulanzi aneetulinkirizanga n’ayogera mu liina lyange ebibono bye ntamulagiire, oba n’ayogera mu liina lya bakatonda abandi, aidha kwitibwanga bwitibwe.’
21“Musobola okwebuuza mule muti: ‘Tunaategeereranga ku ki ekibono Musengwa Katonda ky’ayogeire?’ 22Mwidha kutegeeranga, kuba omulanzi bw’ayogera mu liina lya Musengwa Katonda, aye ky’ayogeire ni kitabaagho oba ni kitatuukirira, ekyo kiba nga Musengwa Katonda ti n’akyogeire. Omulanzi aba ng’akyogeire lwa kwetulinkiriza, era kitabatiisanga.”
