Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled 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 The LORD spoke to me, saying,
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti,
3 "You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
“Mu nsi eno ey’ensozi mutambuliddemu ekiseera kiwanvu, era kimala; kale kaakano mukyuke mulage mu bukiikakkono.
4 Command the people, saying, 'You are to pass through the border of your brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take 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 You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.'"
Mubagulangako emmere gye munaalyanga nga mugisasulira n’ensimbi, n’amazzi ag’okunywa nago nga mugasasulira ensimbi.’”
7 For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you 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 descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Eilat and from Ezion Geber. 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 The LORD said to me, "Do not bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the descendants 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 lived there before, 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 lived in Seir before, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD 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 cross over the Wadi Zered." So we went over the Wadi Zered.
Mukama n’agamba nti, “Musituke musomoke akagga Zeredi.” Ne tusomoka.
14 The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over the Wadi Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as the LORD 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 God 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 happened, 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 the LORD spoke to me, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti,
18 "You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
“Olwa leero munaasala ensalo ya Mowaabu mu Ali.
19 and when you come near over against the people of Ammon, do not bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the people of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the people 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 lived in it before; 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 the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;
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 descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place 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 lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)
Abavi abaabeeranga mu byalo ebyesuddeko okutuuka e Gaza, Abakafutoli abaava e Kafutoli bajja ne babazikiriza ne batwala ensi yaabwe bo ne bagibeeramu.
24 "Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon: look, I have given into your 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 will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you."
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 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 your 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 You 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 people 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 the LORD 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 the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your 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 The LORD said to me, "Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you 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 The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck 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 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 only the livestock we took 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 the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; the LORD 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 people of Ammon you did not come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade 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.
