Numbers 10
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.
“Weesa mu ffeeza amakondeere abiri ogakozesenga okuyitanga abantu bonna okukuŋŋaana, era n’okubalagira okuggyawo ensiisira zaabwe.
3 When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Amakondeere gombi bwe ganaafuuyibwanga, ekibiina ky’abantu bonna banaakuŋŋaaniranga w’oli ku mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
4 But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.
Naye bwe banaafuuwangako erimu, olwo abakulembeze, be bakulu b’ebika bya Isirayiri, be banaakuŋŋaaniranga w’oli.
5 When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.
Amakondeere ag’omwanguka bwe ganaafuuyibwanga, ebika ebinaabanga bisiisidde ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba binaasitulanga okutambula.
6 When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.
Ate bwe banaafuuwanga ag’omwanguka omulundi ogwokubiri, ensiisira ezinaabanga mu bukiikaddyo, zinaasitulanga okutambula. Amakondeere ag’omwanguka ke kanaabanga akabonero akanaabategeezanga nti basitule batambule.
7 To convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.
Naye bwe kineetaagisanga okukuba olukuŋŋaana, onoofuuwanga amakondeere naye tegaabenga ga mwanguka.
8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and the generations to come.
“Abaana ba Alooni, bakabona, be banaafuuwanga amakondeere. Lino linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira mu mmwe ne mu mirembe egigenda okujja.
9 When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.
Bwe munaagendanga okutabaala omulabe abajoogerereza mu nsi yammwe, mufuuwanga amakondeere ag’omwanguka. Bwe mutyo munajjukirwanga Mukama Katonda, era anaabawonyanga abalabe bammwe.
10 And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”
Mu biseera eby’essanyu, ne ku mbaga zammwe entongole ne ku mbaga z’omwezi ogwakaboneka, munaafuuwanga amakondeere nga bwe muwaayo ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo byammwe olw’emirembe, era binaabanga bijjukizo byammwe awali Katonda wammwe. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.”
11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony,
Awo olwatuuka ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu mwezi ogwokubiri mu mwaka ogwokubiri, ekire ne kisitulibwa okuva waggulu wa Weema ey’Endagaano.
12 and the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sinai, traveling from place to place until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne basitula ne batambula okuva mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi, oluvannyuma ekire ne kiyimirira mu Ddungu lya Palani.
13 They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.
Ogwo gwe gwali omulundi omubereberye okusitula okutambula nga bagendera ku kiragiro kya Mukama Katonda kye yayisa mu Musa.
14 First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.
Olusiisira lw’abaana ba Yuda lwe lwasooka okusitula okutambula, nga bakulemberwa ebendera yaabwe; Nakusoni mutabani wa Amminadaabu nga ye muduumizi waabwe.
15 Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,
Nesaneri mutabani wa Zuwaali ye yaduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Isakaali,
16 and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.
ne Eriyaabu mutabani wa Keroni n’aduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Zebbulooni.
17 Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting it.
Eweema ya Mukama n’esimbulwa, batabani ba Gerusoni ne batabani ba Merali abaagyetikkanga ne basitula ne batambula.
18 Then the divisions of the camp of Reuben set out under their standard, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.
Ebibinja by’omu lusiisira lwa Lewubeeni bye byaddako okusitula okutambula awamu n’ebendera yaabyo, nga biduumirwa Erizuuli mutabani wa Sedewuli.
19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,
Serumiyeeri mutabani wa Zulisadaayi ye yaduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Simyoni,
20 and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.
ne Eriyasaafu mutabani wa Deweri n’aduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Gaadi.
21 Then the Kohathites set out, transporting the holy objects; the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.
Abakokasi ne basitula okutambula nga beetisse ebintu ebitukuvu. Eweema ya Mukama ng’emala kusimbibwa, nabo ne balyoka batuuka.
22 Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.
Ebibinja by’omu lusiisira lwa Efulayimu bye byaddirira okusitula okutambula awamu n’ebendera yaabyo; Erisaama mutabani wa Ammikudi nga ye muduumizi waabyo.
23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,
Gamalyeri mutabani wa Pidazuuli ye yaduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Manase;
24 and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.
ne Abidaani mutabani wa Gidyoni n’aduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Benyamini.
25 Finally, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard, serving as the rear guard for all units, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.
Ku nkomerero ya byonna, ebibinja by’omu lusiisira lwa Ddaani, nga bye bikuuma emabega, ne bisitula okutambula n’ebendera yaabyo nga bikoobedde ensiisira zonna; Akiyezeeri mutabani wa Amisadaayi nga ye muduumizi waabyo.
26 Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,
Pagiyeeri mutabani wa Okulaani ye yaduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Aseri;
27 and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.
ne Akira mutabani wa Enani n’aduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Nafutaali.
28 This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.
Eyo ye yali entegeka ey’abaana ba Isirayiri ng’ebibinja byabwe bwe byali nga basitula okutambula.
29 Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”
Awo Musa n’agamba mukoddomi we Kobabu mutabani wa Leweri Omumidiyaani nti, “Tusitula okutambula okugenda mu kifo Mukama kye yatugamba nti, ‘Ndikibawa.’ Kale nno, jjangu tugende ffenna tulikuyisa bulungi, kubanga Mukama yasuubiza Isirayiri ebintu ebirungi.”
30 “I will not go,” Hobab replied. “Instead, I am going back to my own land and my own people.”
Naye n’addamu nti, “Nedda, sijja kugenda nammwe, nzirayo mu nsi ye waffe era mu bantu bange.”
31 “Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.
Naye Musa n’amugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde totuleka. Ggwe omanyi obulungi eddungu gye tusaanye okukuba olusiisira lwaffe, ggwe ojja okubeera amaaso gaffe.
32 If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”
Singa ojja ne tugenda ffenna, tunaagabaniranga wamu buli kirungi kyonna Mukama ky’anaatuwanga.”
33 So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.
Awo ne basitula okuva ku lusozi lwa Mukama Katonda ne batambulira ennaku ssatu. Essanduuko ya Mukama ey’Endagaano n’ebakulemberanga okumala ennaku ezo essatu ng’ebanoonyeza ekifo eky’okuwummuliramu.
34 And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
Buli lwe baasitulanga okutambula nga bava mu lusiisira, ekire kya Mukama Katonda kyabeeranga waggulu waabwe buli budde bwa misana.
35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”
Buli abeetissi b’Essanduuko ya Mukama Katonda lwe baasitulanga okutambula, Musa n’agamba nti, “Golokoka, Ayi Mukama! Abalabe bo basaasaane; amaggye agakulwanyisa gakudduke.”
36 And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
Buli Ssanduuko ya Mukama Katonda lwe yawummuzibwanga, Musa n’agamba nti, “Komawo, Ayi Mukama, eri enkumi n’enkumi eza Isirayiri.”
