Numbers 21
1 And when king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, had heard this, to wit, that Israel was come by the way of the spies, he fought against them, and overcoming them carried off their spoils.
Kabaka Omukanani ow’e Yaladi eyatuulanga mu bukiikaddyo, n’awulira nga Isirayiri ajjira mu kkubo lya Asalimu, n’alumba Isirayiri n’amulwanyisa n’awambamu abamu ku bo.
2 But Israel binding himself by vow to the Lord, said: It thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will utterly destroy their cities.
Awo Isirayiri ne yeeyama eri Mukama Katonda obweyamo buno nti, “Bw’onoogabula abantu bano mu mukono gwaffe, ne tubawangula, ebibuga byabwe tulibizikiririza ddala.”
3 And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and delivered up the Chanaanite, and they cut them off and destroyed their cities: and they called the name of that place Horma, that is to say, Anathema.
Mukama Katonda n’awulira okwegayirira kw’Abayisirayiri, Abakanani n’abawaayo eri Abayisirayiri, ne bazikiriza ebibuga byabwe; ekifo ekyo ne kituumibwa erinnya Koluma.
4 And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour:
Ne basitula okuva ku lusozi Koola, ne bakwata ekkubo eriraga ku Nnyanja Emyufu, balyoke beetooloole ensi ya Edomu. Abantu nga bali ku lugendo olwo ne batandika okuggwaamu obugumiikiriza.
5 And speaking against God and Moses, they said: Why didst thou bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.
Ne beemulugunyiza Musa ne Katonda nga boogera nti, “Lwaki mwatuggya mu Misiri okufiira wano mu malungu? Kubanga temuli mmere; so temuli mazzi; n’obumere buno bwe tufuna tubwetamiddwa.”
6 Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
Awo Mukama n’asindikira abantu emisota emikambwe egy’obusagwa, ne gibojja abantu, era abaana ba Isirayiri bangi ne bafa.
7 Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Abantu ne bajja awali Musa, ne bamugamba nti, “Twayonoona bwe twakwemulugunyiza ne twemulugunyiza ne Mukama Katonda, ne tuboogerako bubi. Tusaba weegayirire Mukama atuggyeko emisota gino.” Musa n’asabira abantu.
8 And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Kolayo omusota ogufaanana nga giri emikambwe egy’obusagwa oguwanike ku mulongooti; buli anaabojjebwanga omusota, n’agutunulako, anaawonanga.”
9 Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
Awo Musa n’aweesa omusota ogw’ekikomo, n’aguwanika ku mulongooti. Kale buli eyabojjebwanga omusota n’atunula ku musota ogw’ekikomo, ng’awona, ng’aba mulamu.
10 And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth.
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne basitula ne batambula okutuuka mu Yebosi, ne basiisira omwo.
11 And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.
Ne basitula okuva mu Yebosi ne batambula, ne basiisira mu Lye-Abalimu, mu ddungu eryolekedde Mowaabu, ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba.
12 And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
Bwe baava awo, ne batambula okulaga mu kiwonvu kya Zeredi, ne basiisira omwo.
13 Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.
Ne bava awo, ne batambula ne basiisira emitala w’omugga Alunoni, oguli mu ddungu erituuka ne ku nsalo ya Abamoli. Omugga Alunoni ye nsalo ya Mowaabu, eyawula Mowaabu n’Abamoli.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.
Kyekyava kiwandiikibwa mu Kitabo ky’Entalo za Mukama Katonda, nti, “Zakabu ne Sufa, n’ebiwonvu bya Alunoni,
15 The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.
n’obuserengeto bw’ebiwonvu ebituuka ku kibuga kya Ali, ne byesigama ku nsalo ya Mowaabu.”
16 When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
Bwe baava eyo ne batambula okutuuka e Beeri, olwo lwe luzzi Mukama we yagambira Musa nti, “Abantu bonna bakuŋŋaanye, mbawe amazzi.”
17 Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
Isirayiri n’alyoka ayimba oluyimba luno, nti, “Weetale, ggwe Oluzzi! Muluyimbirire!
18 The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.
Muyimbe ku luzzi abalangira lwe baasima, abakungu n’abantu lwe baayiikuula, abakungu, emiggo gyabwe.”
19 From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
Ne bava mu ddungu ne batambula okutuuka e Matana. Bwe baava e Matana ne balaga e Nakalieri, ne bava e Nakalieri ne balaga e Bamosi.
20 From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
Bwe baava e Bamosi ne balaga mu kiwonvu ekiri mu matwale ga Mowaabu wansi w’olusozi Pisuga, kw’osinziira okulengera eddungu.
21 And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:
Awo Isirayiri n’atuma ababaka eri Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli ng’amugamba nti,
22 I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king’s highway, till we be past thy borders.
“Tukkirize tuyite mu nsi yo. Tetuliyita mu birime wadde mu nnimiro z’emizabbibu, era tetugenda kunywa na ku mazzi agali mu nzizi. Tugenda kutambulira mu Luguudo lwa Kabaka olunene mwokka okutuusa lwe tuliva mu nsi yo.”
23 And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
Naye Sikoni n’atakkiriza Isirayiri kuyita mu nsi ye. N’akuŋŋaanya eggye lye lyonna, n’agenda atabaale Isirayiri mu ddungu. Bwe yatuuka e Yakazi n’alwana ne Isirayiri.
24 And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison.
Isirayiri n’amufumita n’obwogi bw’ekitala, n’atwala ensi ye okuva ku mugga Alunoni okutuuka ku mugga Yaboki, n’atuukira ddala ku Bamoni, n’akoma awo, kubanga Abamoni baali ba maanyi nnyo ku nsalo yaabwe.
25 So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
Isirayiri n’awamba ebibuga byonna eby’Abamoli n’abeera omwo, ne Kesuboni n’akiwambiramu n’obubuga bwonna obwali bukyetoolodde.
26 Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.
Kesuboni kye kyali ekibuga ekikulu ekya Sikoni Kabaka w’Abamoli kye yali awambye ng’amaze okulwana n’eyali kabaka wa Mowaabu n’amuggyako ensi ye yonna okutuuka ku Alunoni.
27 Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
Abayiiya ennyimba kyebaava bayimba nti, “Mujje e Kesuboni kizimbibwe; ekibuga kya Sikoni kizzibwewo.
28 A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.
“Omuliro gwafuluma mu Kesuboni, ennimi z’omuliro ne ziva mu kibuga kya Sikoni. Gwayokya Ali ekya Mowaabu, n’abatuula mu nsozi za Alunoni.
29 Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
Zikusanze, gwe Mowaabu! Muzikirizibbwa, mmwe abantu ba Kemosi! Batabani be abawaddeyo eri kabaka Sikoni ow’Abamoli ne bafuuka ng’abanoonyi b’obubudamu ne bawala be, ng’abawambe.
30 Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
“Naye tubawangudde Kesuboni azikiridde okutuukira ddala ku Diboni. Tubafufuggazza okutuuka ku Nofa, kwe kutuukira ddala ku Medeba.”
31 So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite.
Bw’atyo Isirayiri n’atuula mu nsi y’Abamoli.
32 And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants.
Musa bwe yamala okutuma abakessi e Yazeri, abaana ba Isirayiri ne bawamba ebibuga ebyali bikyebunguludde, ne bagobamu Abamoli abaabibeerangamu.
33 And they turned themselves, and went up by the way of Basan, and Og the king of Basan came against them with all his people, to fight in Edrai.
Ne bakyuka ne bambukira mu kkubo eriraga e Basani. Ogi kabaka w’e Basani n’eggye lye lyonna ne yeesowolayo okubatabaala mu lutalo olwali mu Ederei.
34 And the Lord said to Moses: Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people, and his country into thy hand: and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, the inhabitant of Hesebon.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Tomutya; kubanga mugabudde mu mukono gwo, n’eggye lye lyonna awamu n’ensi ye; omukole nga bwe wakola Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli eyafugiranga mu Kesuboni.”
35 So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land.
Bwe batyo ne bamutta, ne batabani be, n’eggye lye lyonna, ne batawonyaawo muntu n’omu. Ensi ye ne bagirya.
