Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spoke to me. And we encompassed mount Seir many days.
Awo ne tukyuka ne tuddayo mu ddungu nga twolekera Ennyanja Emyufu, nga Mukama bwe yandagira. Ne tumala ennaku nnyingi nnyo nga tutambulira mu nsi ey’ensozi ey’e Seyiri.
2 And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti,
3 Ye have encompassed this mountain long enough, turn northward.
“Mu nsi eno ey’ensozi mutambuliddemu ekiseera kiwanvu, era kimala; kale kaakano mukyuke mulage mu bukiikakkono.
4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore.
Abantu bawe ebiragiro bino nti, ‘Muli kumpi okutuuka mu nsi ya baganda bammwe, abazzukulu ba Esawu ababeera mu Seyiri, bajja kubatya, kyokka mubeegendereza nnyo.
5 Do not contend with them, for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
Temubasosonkerezaako lutalo, kubanga mmwe sijja kubawa ku ttaka lyabwe, wadde akatundu akatono awagya ekigere ky’omuntu. Kubanga ensi ey’ensozi eya Seyiri nagiwa dda Esawu okuba obutaka bwe obwenkalakkalira.
6 Ye shall purchase food from them for money, that ye may eat, and ye shall also buy water from them for money, that ye may drink.
Mubagulangako emmere gye munaalyanga nga mugisasulira n’ensimbi, n’amazzi ag’okunywa nago nga mugasasulira ensimbi.’”
7 For Jehovah thy God has blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He has known thy walking through this great wilderness. These forty years Jehovah thy God has been with thee; thou have lacked nothing.
Mukama Katonda wo akuwadde omukisa mu mirimu gyonna gy’okola n’emikono gyo. Amanyi nti otambulira mu ddungu lino eddene ennyo bwe lityo. Era Mukama Katonda wammwe abadde akulabirira emyaka gino gyonna amakumi ana, ng’abeera naawe, era nga buli kye weetaaga akikuwa.
8 So we passed by from our brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Bwe tutyo ne tweyongerayo mu lugendo lwaffe nga tuyita ku baganda baffe abazzukulu ba Esawu ababeera mu Seyiri. Ne tuleka ekkubo ly’Alaba eririnnyalinnya okuva Erasi ne Eziyonigeba, ne tukwata ekkubo eriyita mu ddungu lya Mowaabu.
9 And Jehovah said to me, Do not vex Moab, neither contend with them in battle, for I will not give thee of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot for a possession.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Abamowaabu temubasunguwaza wadde okubasosonkerezaako olutalo, kubanga sigenda mmwe kubawa ku ttaka lyabwe mu Ali, ettaka eryo namala dda okuliwa bazzukulu ba Lutti okubeera obutaka bwabwe.”
10 (The Emim dwelt in it formerly, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim.
Abemi be baabeeranga mu kitundu ekyo, nga basajja banene, nga ba maanyi, nga bangi nnyo, era nga bawanvu okwenkana nga Abanaki.
11 These also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
Baayitibwanga Baleefa okufaanana nga Abanaki bwe baayitibwanga, naye Abamowaabu nga bo babayita Bemi.
12 The Horites also dwelt in Seir formerly, but the sons of Esau succeeded them. And they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
Mu biseera eby’edda Abakooli nabo baabeeranga mu Seyiri, okutuusa bazzukulu ba Esawu bwe baabasiguukulula ne babagobamu ne babazikiriza, ensi eyo ne bagyetwalira, bo ne bagibeeramu; okufaananako ng’Abayisirayiri bwe balikola mu nsi Mukama Katonda gye yabawa ey’obusika bw’obutaka bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira.
13 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
Mukama n’agamba nti, “Musituke musomoke akagga Zeredi.” Ne tusomoka.
14 And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we came over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah swore to them.
Olwo nga kasookedde tuva mu Kadesubanea okutuusa lwe twasomoka akagga Zeredi gyali giweze emyaka amakumi asatu mu munaana. Ekiseera ekyo we kyaggweerako ng’abasajja abalwanyi bonna mu lusiisira lw’abaana ba Isirayiri, ab’omu mulembe ogwo, nga bafudde baweddewo, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yabalayirira.
15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Kubanga Mukama Katonda yamalirira okubazikiriza n’omukono gwe okutuusa ng’abamaliddemu ddala mu lusiisira lwabwe.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
Awo olwatuuka abasajja abalwanyi bonna bwe baamala okufa, nga bazikiridde baweddewo mu bantu,
17 that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti,
18 Thou are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
“Olwa leero munaasala ensalo ya Mowaabu mu Ali.
19 And when thou come near opposite the sons of Ammon, do not vex them, nor contend with them, for I will not give thee of the land of the sons of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.
Naye bwe musemberera Abamoni temubasunguwaza so temubasosonkerezaako lutalo, kubanga mmwe sigenda kubawa ku ttaka ly’Abamoni n’akatono okuba obutaka bwammwe, kubanga ettaka eryo namala dda okuliwa bazzukulu ba Lutti okubeera obutaka bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira.”
20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim. Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
Ekitundu ekyo era kyali kiyitibwa nsi ya Baleefa, kubanga Abaleefa be baabeerangamu naye Abamoni nga babayita Bazamuzumu.
21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim. But Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead,
Baali basajja ba maanyi era nga bangi nnyo, nga bawanvu ng’Abanaki. Naye Mukama Katonda n’abawaayo eri Abamoni ne babazikiriza, ne batwala ensi yaabwe ne bagituulamu.
22 as he did for the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them. And they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day.
Ne kifaananako nga Mukama bwe yazikiriza Abakooli abaalinga mu Seyiri, ensi yaabwe n’agiwa bazzukulu ba Esawu okuba obutaka bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira n’okutuusa leero.
23 And the Avvim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
Abavi abaabeeranga mu byalo ebyesuddeko okutuuka e Gaza, Abakafutoli abaava e Kafutoli bajja ne babazikiriza ne batwala ensi yaabwe bo ne bagibeeramu.
24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
“Musituke mutambule muyite mu kiwonvu ekya Alunoni. Otegeere kino nga Sikoni Omwamoli Kabaka w’e Kesuboni mmugabudde mu mukono gwo n’ensi ye yonna. Kale tandika okumutabaala, n’ensi ye ogyetwalire efuukire ddala yiyo ya butaka bwo.
25 This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
Okutandika n’olunaku lwa leero amawanga gonna ag’oku nsi nzija kugateekamu entiisa bakankane nga bawulidde ettutumu lyo babeere mu kutiitiira n’okunyolwa ku lulwo.”
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Nga tuli mu ddungu ly’e Kedemosi natumira Sikoni Kabaka w’e Kesuboni n’obubaka obw’okuteesa emirembe nga mmugamba nti,
27 Let me pass through thy land. I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
“Tukkirize tuyite mu nsi yo. Tujja kutambulira mu luguudo mwokka nga tetuwunjuseeko kulaga ku ludda olwa ddyo oba olwa kkono.
28 Thou shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on my feet,
Onootuguzanga emmere gye tunaalyanga nga tugisasulira ensimbi, n’amazzi ge tunaanywangako, nago nga tugasasulira ensimbi. Naye tuleke tuyite mu nsi yo nga tutambula n’ebigere,
29 as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God gives us.
nga bazzukulu ba Esawu abaabeeranga mu Seyiri, n’Abamowaabu abaabeeranga mu Ali bwe baatuleka, okutuusa lwe tulimala okusomoka Yoludaani ne tutuuka mu nsi Mukama Katonda waffe gy’ategese okutuwa.”
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.
Naye Sikoni Kabaka wa Kesuboni n’atatukkiriza kuyitawo. Kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe yali akakanyazizza omwoyo gwe era ng’awaganyazizza omutima gwe, alyoke amugabule mu mukono gwammwe nga bwe kiri leero.
31 And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee. Begin to possess, that thou may inherit his land.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Laba, ntandise okugabula Sikoni n’ensi ye mu mukono gwo. Kale tandika okuwangula ensi ye yonna, olyoke ogyefunire okubeera obusika bwo era obutaka bwo obw’enkalakkalira.”
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
Kabaka Sikoni n’eggye lye lyonna ne batulumba mu lutabaalo olw’e Yakazi.
33 And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us. And we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
Mukama Katonda waffe n’agabula Sikoni n’eggye lye lyonna, ne batabani be, mu mukono gwaffe ne tubawangula.
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining.
Mu kaseera ako twawamba ebibuga bye byonna ne tubizikiriza n’abantu bonna, abasajja, n’abakazi, n’abaana abato, tetwalekerawo ddala.
35 We only took the cattle for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
Naye ente ne tuzeetwalira awamu n’omunyago gwe twaggya mu bibuga bye twawamba.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Jehovah our God delivered up all before us.
Okuva ku Aloweri ekiri ku lukugiro lw’Ekiwonvu Alumoni, n’okuva ku kibuga ekiri mu kiwonvu ekyo, n’okutuukira ddala mu Gireyaadi, tewaaliwo kibuga na kimu ekyatusukkirira amaanyi. Mukama Katonda waffe byonna yabitugabula mu mukono gwaffe.
37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon thou did not come near, all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wherever Jehovah our God forbad us.
Naye ebifo, Mukama Katonda waffe bye yatulagira obutabisemberera, y’ensi y’abazzukulu ba Amoni, ne ku mbalama zonna ez’omugga Yaboki, n’ebibuga eby’omu nsi ey’ensozi; ebyo byo yatugaana okubikwatirako ddala.
