< Deuteronomy 3 >

1 We set off and went up the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, and his whole army came out to fight us at Edrei.
Awo ne tukyuka ne twambukira mu kkubo eriraga e Basani. Ogi, Kabaka w’e Basani, n’afuluma n’eggye lye lyonna n’ajja okututabaala mu lutalo olwalwanirwa mu Ederei.
2 But the Lord told me, “Don't be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, together with all his people and his land. Deal with him as you did with Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.”
Naye Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tomutya, kubanga oyo mmugabudde mu mukono gwo ye n’eggye lye lyonna n’ensi ye. Kale, mukole nga bwe wakola Sikoni Kabaka w’Abamoli abaabeeranga mu Kesuboni.”
3 So the Lord our God handed over to us Og, king of Bashan, and his whole army as well. We killed them and left no survivors.
Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda waffe n’agabula ne Ogi Kabaka w’e Basani mu mukono gwaffe awamu n’eggye lye lyonna. Ne tubatta bonna obutalekaawo muntu n’omu.
4 We also captured all his towns. There wasn't a single town among all the sixty that we didn't capture. This included the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Era mu kiseera ekyo ne tuwamba ebibuga bye byonna ne tubitwala. Ebibuga enkaaga byonna tekwaliko kibuga na kimu kye tutaabatwalako, ne tutwala amatwale gonna aga Alugobu ag’obwakabaka bwa Ogi mu Basani.
5 All of these towns were fortified with high walls and gates with bars. There were many more villages as well, those that didn't have walls.
Ebibuga ebyo byonna byali bizimbiddwa mu bigo eby’ebisenge ebiwanvu, n’emizigo egy’emitayimbwa, ng’okwo kw’ogatta n’obubuga obw’omu byalo obutaaliko bisenge.
6 We set them apart for destruction, just as we did to Sihon, king of Heshbon, killing all the men, women, and children of every city.
Twabizikiririza ddala byonna nga bwe twakola ebya Sikoni kabaka w’e Kesuboni, nga tuzikiriza buli kibuga n’abasajja bonna abaakirimu n’abakazi n’abaana abato bonna.
7 But we took for ourselves all the livestock and plunder from the towns.
Naye ente ne tuzeetwalira awamu n’omunyago gwe twaggya mu bibuga bye twawamba.
8 So in summary, at that time we took from the two Amorite kings the land east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley all the way to Mount Hermon.
Bwe tutyo mu kiseera ekyo ne tutwala ebitundu by’ensi byonna ebyali ebya bakabaka bombi ab’Abamoli ebyali ku luuyi lw’ebuvanjuba olw’omugga Yoludaani; okuva ku Kiwonvu Alunoni okutuuka ku Lusozi Kerumooni.
9 (Mount Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonians and Senir by the Amorites.)
Abasidoni nga Kerumooni baluyita Siriyooni, ate bo Abamoli nga baluyita Seniri.
10 The area included all the towns of the plain, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan, up to and including the towns of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.
Twatwala ebibuga byonna ebyali mu kitundu ekya waggulu ekitereevu ne Gireyaadi yonna ne Basani yonna okutuuka ku Saleka ne Ederei, ng’ebyo byali bibuga eby’omu bwakabaka bwa Ogi mu Basani.
11 (Only Og, king of Bashan, was left of the race of the Rephaim. He had a bed made of iron that was nine cubits long and four cubits wide. It's still in the Ammonite town of Rabbah.)
Ogi kabaka wa Basani ye yali asigaddewo ku Balefa. Ekitanda kye kyakolebwa mu kyuma, nga kiriko mita nnya obuwanvu, n’obugazi bwa mita emu n’obutundu munaana. Kikyaliyo mu Raba eky’Abamoni.
12 This is when we took over the land. I assigned to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land to the north of the town of Aroer in the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns.
Bwe twamala okwetwalira ebitundu by’ensi ebyo bye twawangula mu kaseera ako, ne ngabira Abalewubeeni n’Abagaadi ekitundu ekyo ekiri ku bukiikakkono okuva ku Aloweri n’okugendera ku mukugiro gw’Ekiwonvu kya Alunoni, n’ekitundu ekyamakkati eky’ensi y’ensozi eya Gireyaadi, awamu n’ebibuga byamu.
13 I assigned to the half-tribe of Manasseh the rest of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The whole region of Argob, all the territory of Bashan, was formerly called the land of the Rephaim.)
Ekitundu kya Gireyaadi ekyasigalawo, n’obwakabaka bwa Ogi obwa Basani omugendera ne Alugabu, ne mbigabira ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase. Ekitundu kya Alugabu kyonna mu Basani, wonna nga wayitibwa nsi ya Balefa.
14 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took over the whole region of Argob right up to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites and changed the name of Bashan to Havvoth-jair after himself, which is still its name to this day.
Yayiri, ava mu Manase, yafuna ekitundu kyonna ekya Alugabu, era ye Basani, nga kyerambulula okutuukira ddala ku nsalo ey’Abagesuli n’Abamaakasi; n’akibbulamu erinnya lye, n’okutuusa leero ensi Basani eyitibwa Kavosu Yayiri.
15 I assigned the rest of Gilead to the descendants of Machir,
Gireyaadi nagigabira Makiri.
16 while I assigned to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the area from Gilead to the Arnon Valley, the boundary line being the middle of the valley, all the way to the Jabbok River on the Ammonite border.
Abalewubeeni n’Abagaadi ne mbagabira ekitundu ky’ensi ekiva ku Gireyaadi okuserengeta mu Kiwonvu kya Alunoni, nga mu makkati gaakyo ye nsalo, n’okutuukira ddala ku mugga Yaboki ogw’ensalo n’Abamoni.
17 The Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it to the west, from the Sea of Galilee to the Sea of the Arabah (the Dead Sea). On the east lay the slopes of the Pisgah mountain range.
Omugga Yoludaani nga ye nsalo ey’ebugwanjuba mu Alaba, okuviira ddala ku Kinneresi okutuuka ku Nnyanja ya Alaba, ye Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo, wansi w’olugulungujjo lw’olusozi Pisuga ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba.
18 This was when I gave you these instructions: “The Lord your God has given you this country as yours to own. All your warriors are to cross over, ready for battle, leading your fellow Israelites.
Mu kiseera ekyo, mmwe ab’ekika kya Lewubeeni, n’ekya Gaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase, nabalagira nga mbagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wammwe abawadde ekitundu ky’ensi kino okubeera obutaka bwammwe. Naye basajja bammwe bonna ab’amaanyi abazira nga beesibye ebyokulwanyisa, be balisooka baganda bammwe abaana ba Isirayiri okusomoka Yoludaani.
19 However, your wives, your children, and your livestock (I know that you have plenty of livestock) can stay behind in the towns I have given you,
Kyokka, bakazi bammwe, n’abaana bammwe balisigala mu bibuga bye nabawa awamu n’ente zammwe ze mulina, ze mmanyi nga bwe ziri ennyingi,
20 until the Lord gives victory to your fellow Israelites and they have peace, just as he has for you, after taking over the land that the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of the Jordan. Then you can all return to the land I have given you to own.”
okutuusa nga baganda bammwe bamaze okwetwalira ensi eri emitala w’omugga Yoludaani, Mukama Katonda wammwe gy’abawa; Mukama alyoke awe baganda bammwe ekiwummulo nga nammwe bwe yakibawa. Oluvannyuma mulikomawo mu butaka bwammwe bwe nabagabira.”
21 This was the time I ordered Joshua: “You've seen with your own eyes seen everything the Lord your God did to these two kings. The Lord will do the same to all the kingdoms where you're going.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne ndagira Yoswa, ne mmugamba nti, “Ebyo byonna Mukama Katonda wammwe byakoze bakabaka abo ababiri obyerabiddeko n’amaaso go gennyini. Bw’atyo Mukama bw’alikola obwakabaka bwonna obuli eyo gye mugenda.
22 Don't be afraid of them, for the Lord your God himself will be fighting on your side.”
Temubatyanga; kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe yennyini y’anaabalwaniriranga.”
23 This was also the time I pleaded with the Lord, saying,
Mu kiseera ekyo ne neegayirira Mukama nga njogera nti,
24 “Lord God, you've really only just begun to show your power and greatness to me, your servant. What god in heaven or on earth has the incredible ability to do the mighty acts you do?
“Ayi Mukama Katonda, otandise okundaga nze omuddu wo, omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi n’obukulu bwo obw’ekitiibwa. Kubanga katonda ki ali mu ggulu oba ali ku nsi asobola okukola ebyekyewuunyo bino byonna by’okola, n’emirimu egy’amaanyi bwe gityo gy’okola?
25 Please, let me cross over the Jordan and see the good land there, the beautiful hills, and the mountains of Lebanon!”
Nkusaba, nsomoke omugga Yoludaani, ŋŋende ndabe ku nsi ennungi bw’etyo eri emitala waagwo, ensi eyo ey’ensozi ezirabika obulungi, awamu ne Lebanooni.”
26 But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he refused to listen to me. “That's enough,” he told me. “Don't talk to me about this anymore.
Naye Mukama n’ansunguwalira nnyo ku lwammwe, bye namusaba n’atabiwuliriza. Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ebyo by’oyogedde bikumale; toddayo kwogera gye ndi nate ku nsonga eyo.
27 Climb up to the top of Mount and look west, north, south, and east. Take a long look at the land with your own eyes, because you're not going to cross this Jordan.
Yambuka waggulu ku ntikko y’olusozi Pisuga, ositule amaaso go otunule ebugwanjuba, ne ku bukiikakkono, n’ebuvanjuba ne ku bukiikaddyo. Weerabireko ku nsi eyo n’amaaso go gennyini, kubanga togenda kusomoka mugga guno Yoludaani.
28 Instead, put Joshua in charge because he's the one who will cross over, leading the people and helping them to take over the land that you see. Encourage him and support him.”
Naye obuyinza bukwase Yoswa, omukuutire era omugumye afune amaanyi, kubanga y’agenda okukulembera abantu bano nga basomoka, era ye alibasobozesa okulya ensi eyo gy’ojja okulaba, okubeera obutaka bwabwe.”
29 So we remained there in the valley near Beth-peor.
Bwe tutyo ne tubeera awo mu kiwonvu okumpi ne Besu Peoli.
