Deuteronomy 9
1 Heare O Israel, Thou shalt passe ouer Iorden this day, to goe in and to possesse nations greater and mightier then thy selfe, and cities great and walled vp to heauen,
Wulira, Ayi Isirayiri. Osemberedde olunaku lw’ojja okusomokerako omugga Yoludaani, oyingire mu nsi omuli amawanga agakusinga obunene, ogyetwalire ogyefunire. Olisangamu ebibuga ebinene ebyebulunguddwa ebigo ebyawanvuwa okutuuka ku ggulu.
2 A people great and tall, euen the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak?
Abantu baayo be batabani ba Anaki, ba maanyi era bawanvu. Obamanyi bulungi, era wawulirako dda nga boogerwako nti, “Ani ayinza okwolekera Abanaki?”
3 Vnderstand therefore that this day ye Lord thy God is he which goeth ouer before thee as a consuming fire: he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them downe before thy face: so thou shalt cast them out and destroy them suddenly, as the Lord hath said vnto thee.
Naye kitegeere leero nga Mukama Katonda wo y’akukulembera buli gy’oba olaga yonna, era ng’ali ng’omuliro ogusaanyaawo buli kintu. Ab’amaanyi abo agenda kubasiguukulula abazikirize nga naawe olaba. Noolwekyo ogenda kubagobamu obamalirewo ddala mu kaseera katono, nga Mukama bw’akusuubizza.
4 Speake not thou in thine heart (after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out before thee) saying, For my righteousnesse the Lord hath brought me in, to possesse this land: but for the wickednesse of these nations the Lord hath cast them out before thee.
Mukama Katonda wo bw’alimala okugobamu amawanga ago gonna nga naawe olaba, teweewaananga nga weeyogerako nti, “Mukama ansobozesezza okuyingira mu nsi muno n’okugifuna olw’obutuukirivu bwange;” songa lwa butali butuukirivu bwa mawanga ago, Mukama kyanaava agagobamu mu maaso go.
5 For thou entrest not to inherite their lande for thy righteousnesse, or for thy vpright heart: but for the wickednesse of those nations, the Lord thy God doth cast them out before thee, and that he might performe the worde which the Lord thy God sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iacob.
Ojja kuyingira mu nsi yaabwe ogitwale, si lwa kubanga oli mutuukirivu, oba omwesigwa; wabula lwa kibi ky’amawanga ago Mukama Katonda wo kyanaava agagoba mu maaso go, atuukirize n’ekisuubizo kye yalayirira bajjajjaabo: Ibulayimu ne Isaaka ne Yakobo.
6 Vnderstand therefore, that ye Lord thy God giueth thee not this good land to possesse it for thy righteousnes: for thou art a stifnecked people.
Osaana okitegeere ng’ensi eno ennungi Mukama Katonda gy’akuwa okugyefunira tagikuwa lwa kubanga oli mutuukirivu; kubanga oli muntu alina ensingo enkakanyavu.
7 Remember, and forget not, howe thou prouokedst the Lord thy God to anger in the wildernesse: since the day that thou diddest depart out of the land of Egypt, vntill ye came vnto this place ye haue rebelled against the Lord.
Ojjukiranga, era tosaana kwerabiranga, nga bwe wasunguwaza Mukama Katonda wo ng’oli mu ddungu. Okuviira ddala ku lunaku lwe wava mu nsi ey’e Misiri mubadde mujeemera Mukama n’okutuusa lwe mutuuse mu kifo kino.
8 Also in Horeb ye prouoked the Lord to anger so that the Lord was wroth with you, euen to destroy you.
Ku lusozi Kolebu mwanyiiza Mukama Katonda, obusungu bwe ne bubuubuuka nnyo n’okwagala n’ayagala okubazikiriza.
9 When I was gone vp into the mount, to receiue the tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant, which the Lord made with you: and I abode in the mount fourtie daies and fourtie nights, and I neither ate bread nor yet dranke water:
Bwe nalinnya ku lusozi okuweebwa ebipande eby’amayinja, nga bye byaliko endagaano Mukama Katonda gye yali alagaanye nammwe, ne mmala ku lusozi ennaku amakumi ana emisana n’ekiro, saalya ku mmere wadde okunywa ku mazzi.
10 Then the Lord deliuered me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, and in them was conteyned according to all the wordes which the Lord had said vnto you in the mount out of the middes of the fire, in the day of the assemblie.
Mukama Katonda n’ampa ebipande bibiri eby’amayinja nga biwandiikiddwako n’engalo ya Katonda. Ku byo kwali kuwandiikiddwako amateeka Mukama ge yali abalangiridde ng’ali ku lusozi wakati mu muliro ku lunaku olwo nga mwenna mukuŋŋaanye.
11 And when the fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes were ended, the Lord gaue me the two tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant.
Ku nkomerero y’ennaku amakumi ana n’ebiro amakumi ana Mukama Katonda n’ampa ebipande ebibiri eby’amayinja nga bye bipande eby’endagaano.
12 And the Lord said vnto me, Arise, get thee downe quickly from hence: for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, haue corrupt their wayes: they are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: they haue made them a molten image.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Situka ove mangu wano oserengete, kubanga abantu bo be waggya mu Misiri boonoonye. Beekyusizza mangu ne bava mu kkubo lye nabalagira okutambulirangamu, ne beekolera ekibumbe ekisaanuuse ekitali Katonda.”
13 Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto me, saying, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stifnecked people.
Era Mukama Katonda ne yeeyongera n’aŋŋamba nti, “Neetegerezza abantu bano, ne ndaba nga bantu abalina ensingo enkakanyavu, nga ggwanga lya mputtu.
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and put out their name from vnder heaue, and I wil make of thee a mightie nation, and greater then they be.
Leka mbazikirize, erinnya ly’eggwanga lyabwe ndisangulewo wansi w’eggulu. Ndikuggyamu eggwanga eddene era ery’amaanyi okusinga eggwanga lyabwe.”
15 So I returned, and came downe from the Mount (and the Mount burnt with fire, and ye two Tables of the couenant were in my two handes)
Bwe ntyo ne nkyuka ne nva ku lusozi ne nserengeta, ne ndeka ng’olusozi lwaka omuliro. Ebipande byombi eby’amateeka eby’endagaano nabirina mu mikono gyange gyombi.
16 Then I looked, and beholde, ye had sinned against the Lord your God: for ye had made you a molten calfe, and had turned quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
Bwe natunula ne ndaba nga mwonoonye mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wammwe; mwali mwekoledde ekitali Katonda nga mukibumbye okufaanana ng’ennyana; mwali mukyuse mangu okuva mu kkubo Mukama lye yali abalagidde.
17 Therefore I tooke the two Tables, and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before your eyes.
Bwe ntyo ne nzirira ebipande byombi bye nnali nkutte mu ngalo zange ne mbikasuka wansi ne byatikirayatikira mu maaso gammwe nga nammwe mulaba.
18 And I fell downe before the Lord, fourtie dayes, and fourtie nightes, as before: I neither ate bread nor dranke water, because of al your sinnes, which ye had committed, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, in that ye prouoked him vnto wrath.
Ate ne nziramu okweyala wansi awali Mukama Katonda okumala ennaku amakumi ana, emisana n’ekiro, Mukama bwe yali amaliridde okubazikiririza ddala yeefunire eggwanga eddala; ne sirya ku mmere wadde okunywa ku tuzzi okumala ennaku amakumi ana emisana n’ekiro, olw’ekibi kye mwali mukoze, bwe mwakola ebitasaana mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda ne mumusunguwaza.
19 (For I was afraide of the wrath and indignation, wherewith the Lord was mooued against you, euen to destroy you) yet the Lord heard me at that time also.
Ne ntya nnyo olw’obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda n’ekiruyi kye, kubanga yali abasunguwalidde nnyo ng’ayinza n’okubazikiriza. Naye era Mukama n’ampuliriza ne ku mulundi ogwo.
20 Likewise ye Lord was very angrie with Aaron, euen to destroy him: but at that time I prayed also for Aaron.
Era Mukama yali asunguwalidde nnyo Alooni nga n’okumuzikiriza ayinza okumuzikiriza. Naye mu kiseera ekyo ne Alooni ne mmusabira nnyo.
21 And I tooke your sinne, I meane the calfe which ye had made, and burnt him with fire, and stamped him and ground him small, euen vnto very dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the riuer, that descended out of the mount.
Ne nzirira ennyana eyabaleetera okusobya, ne ngyokya mu muliro. Ne ngisekulasekula ne ngisa, n’efuuka olufufugge. Olufufugge olwo ne nduyiwa mu kagga akaali kakulukutira ku lusozi olunene.
22 Also in Taberah, and in Massah and in Kibrothhattaauah ye prouoked ye Lord to anger.
Mukama, mwayongera okumusunguwaza bwe mwali e Tabera, n’e Masa, n’e Kiberosu Kataava.
23 Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Goe vp, and possesse the land which I haue giuen you, then ye rebelled against the commandement of the Lord your God, and beleeued him not, nor hearkened vnto his voyce.
Era Mukama bwe yabasindika okuva e Kadesubanea, yabagamba nti, “Mwambuke mwetwalire ensi gye mbawadde.” Naye ne mujeemera ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda wammwe. Temwamwesiga wadde okumugondera.
24 Ye haue bene rebellious vnto the Lord, since the day that I knewe you.
Kasookedde mbamanya, ebbanga eryo lyonna mubadde mujeemera Mukama Katonda.
25 Then I fell downe before ye Lord fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, as I fell downe before, because ye Lord had said, that he woulde destroy you.
Bwe ntyo ne nambaala ku ttaka nga neevuunise mu maaso ga Mukama, okumala ennaku amakumi ana emisana n’ekiro; kubanga Mukama Katonda yali agambye nti ajja kubazikiriza.
26 And I prayed vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatnesse, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt by a mightie hand.
Ne nsaba Mukama nti, Ayi Mukama Katonda, bano be bantu bo, era obusika bwo bwennyini, be wanunula n’obaggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi.
27 Remember thy seruants Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: looke not to ye stubburnes of this people, nor to their wickednes, nor to their sinne,
Nkusaba ojjukire abaddu bo, era abaweereza bo, Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo osonyiwe obukakanyavu bw’eggwanga lino, n’obunafu bwalyo n’ebibi byalyo.
28 Lest the countrey, whence thou broughtest them, say, Because ye Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, or because he hated them, he caried them out, to slay them in the wildernesse.
Ab’omu nsi mwe watuggya baleme okugamba nti, “Olwokubanga Mukama yali tasobola kubatuusa mu nsi gye yabasuubiza, era olwokubanga yali abakyaye nnyo, kyeyava abaggyayo mu Misiri alyoke abattire mu ddungu.”
29 Yet they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mightie power, and by thy stretched out arme.
Kubanga lino lye ggwanga lyo, be bantu bo ab’obusika bwo, be waggya mu Misiri n’obuyinza bwo obungi, n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi.
