1 Thuutha wa Joshua gũkua, andũ a Isiraeli makĩũria Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nĩ a mekwambata mathiĩ mbere magatũhũũranĩre kũrĩ andũ a Kaanani?”

Oluvannyuma lw’okufa kwa Yoswa, Abayisirayiri ne babuuza Mukama Katonda nti, “Ani mu ffe alisooka okwaŋŋanga Abakanani okubalwanyisa?”

2 Nake Jehova agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Juda nĩo megũthiĩ, tondũ nĩneanĩte bũrũri ũcio moko-inĩ mao.”

Mukama Katonda n’abaddamu nti Yuda yalisooka, era laba mbawadde obuwanguzi ku Bakanani.

3 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Juda makĩĩra andũ a Simeoni, ariũ a ithe wao, atĩrĩ, “Ũkai mwambatanie na ithuĩ tũtoonye bũrũri ũrĩa twagaĩirwo, tũkahũũrane na andũ a Kaanani, na ithuĩ nĩtũgaacooka tũthiĩ na inyuĩ tũkahũũranĩre igai rĩanyu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Simeoni magĩthiĩ hamwe nao.

Abasajja ba Yuda ne bagamba baganda baabwe abasajja ba Simyoni nti, “Tugende ffenna mu kitundu kyaffe ekyatuweebwa tulwanyise Abakanani, era naffe tuligenda nammwe mu kitundu ekyabaweebwa.” Awo ne bagenda bonna.

4 Rĩrĩa andũ a Juda maamatharĩkĩire-rĩ, Jehova akĩneana andũ a Kaanani na Aperizi moko-inĩ mao, nao andũ a Juda makĩũraga arũme 10,000 kũu Bezeki.

Yuda n’alumba Abakanani n’Abaperezi e Bezeki era Mukama n’amuwa obuwanguzi n’abattamu abasajja omutwalo mulamba.

5 Kũu nĩkuo maakorire Adoni-Bezeki, makĩhũũrana nake, magĩtooria andũ a Kaanani na Aperizi.

Ne bagwikiriza Adonibezeki mu Bezeki; ne bamulwanyisa era ne batta abasajja be.

6 Adoni-Bezeki akĩũra, no makĩmũtengʼeria, makĩmũnyiita, makĩmũtinia ciara iria nene cia moko na iria nene cia magũrũ.

Naye Adonibezeki ne yeemulula, ne bamuwondera, ne bamukwata era ne bamusalako engalo ze ensajja n’ebigere ebisajja.

7 Nake Adoni-Bezeki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Athamaki mĩrongo mũgwanja matinĩtio ciara ciao iria nene cia moko na iria nene cia magũrũ, moonganagia rũitĩki rwa irio rungu rwa metha yakwa. Na rĩrĩ, Ngai nĩandĩhĩte nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ndeekire.” Nao makĩmũtwara Jerusalemu, na agĩkuĩra kuo.

Adonibezeki ne yejjusa n’agamba nti, “Nga bakabaka ensanvu abaasalibwako engalo zaabwe ensajja n’ebigere ebisajja, bwe baalondalondanga obukunkumuka wansi w’emmeeza yange, nange bwe ŋŋenda okuba. Kye nakola bannange Katonda nange akintusizzaako.” Ne bamutwala e Yerusaalemi n’afiira eyo.

8 Ningĩ andũ a Juda magĩtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, o narĩo makĩrĩtunyana, makĩũraga andũ a itũũra rĩu na hiũ cia njora, magĩcooka makĩrĩcina na mwaki.

Abasajja ba Yuda ne balumba ekibuga Yerusaalemi ne bakiwamba ne batta abantu baamu n’ekitala, oluvannyuma ne bakyokya.

9 Thuutha wa ũguo, andũ a Juda magĩikũrũka makahũũrane na andũ a Kaanani arĩa maatũũraga bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Negevu na magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro.

Awo abasajja ba Yuda ne balumba Abakanani abaabeeranga mu nsozi ne mu biwonvu ne mu bukiika obwa ddyo.

10 Ningĩ magĩthiĩ kũhũũrana na andũ a Kaanani arĩa maatũũraga kũu Hebironi (kũrĩa tene gwetagwo Kiriathu-Ariba) maathiĩ makĩhoota Sheshai, na Ahimani, na Talimai.

Ate Yuda n’alumba Abakanani abaabeeranga e Kebbulooni (edda ekyayitibwanga Kiriasualuba), mu lutalo olwali eyo mwe battira Sesayi, Akimaani ne Talumaayi.

11 Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ kũrũa na andũ arĩa maatũũraga Debiri (kũrĩa tene gwetagwo Kiriathu-Sefari.)

Ate n’avaayo n’alumba abaabeeranga e Debiri edda ekyayitibwanga Kiriasuseferi.

12 Nake Kalebu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũtharĩkĩra na atunyane Kiriathu-Sefari-rĩ, ũcio nĩwe ngũhe mwarĩ wakwa Akisa, amũhikie.”

Awo Kalebu n’agamba nti, “Oyo alirumba Kiriasuseferi n’akiwamba ndimuwa muwala wange Akusa okumuwasa.”

13 Nake Othinieli, mũrũ wa Kenazu, mũrũ wa ithe na Kalebu ũrĩa mũnini, nĩwe watunyanire itũũra rĩu. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kalebu akĩmũhe mwarĩ Akisa atuĩke mũtumia wake.

Osunieri, omwana wa Kenazi muto wa Kalebu n’akiwamba bw’atyo n’aweebwa Akusa okumuwasa.

14 Mũthenya ũmwe Akisa nĩathiire kũrĩ Othinieli, nake akĩringĩrĩria Akisa ahooe mũgũnda kũrĩ ithe Kalebu. Aarĩkia kuuma igũrũ rĩa ndigiri yake, Kalebu akĩũria mwarĩ atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda ngwĩkĩre atĩa?”

Awo Osunieri bwe yamala okuwasa Akusa n’amufukuutirira asabe kitaawe ennimiro; Akusa n’addayo eri kitaawe, bwe yali ava ku ndogoyi, Kalebe n’amubuuza nti, “Oyagala ki?”

15 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha ũndathime. Tondũ nĩũũheete bũrũri wa Negevu, he ithima cia maaĩ o nacio.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kalebu akĩmũhe ithima cia mwena wa rũgongo na cia mwena wa kĩanda.

N’amuddamu nti, “Wampa ensi nkalu ey’obukiikaddyo naye kaakano nnyongera ekitundu ekirimu n’enzizi ez’amazzi.” Kalebu n’amuwa ekitundu ekirimu enzizi ekyengulu n’ekyemmanga.

16 Nacio njiaro cia mũthoni-we wa Musa, ũrĩa Mũkeni, ikĩambata ikiuma Itũũra Inene rĩa Mĩkĩndũ irĩ hamwe na andũ a Juda, igĩthiĩ gũtũũrania na andũ a werũ wa Juda ũrĩa ũrĩ Negevu gũkuhĩ na Aradi.

17 Nao andũ a Juda magĩthiĩ hamwe na andũ a Simeoni ariũ a ithe wao, na magĩtharĩkĩra andũ a Kaanani arĩa maatũũraga Zefathu, nao makĩananga itũũra rĩu inene biũ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩgĩtwo Horoma.

Awo Yuda n’agenda ne muganda we Simyoni ne balumba Abakanani abaabeeranga e Zefasi, ne babazikiririza ddala era ne bakituuma erinnya Koluma.

18 O na ningĩ andũ a Juda magĩtunyana matũũra manene ma Gaza, na Ashikeloni, na Ekironi, o itũũra inene na bũrũri warĩo.

Era Yuda n’awamba Gaza, Asukulooni ne Ekuloni n’ebitundu ebyetoolodde ebibuga bino.

19 Jehova aarĩ hamwe na andũ a Juda. Magĩkĩĩnyiitĩra bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, no matiahotire kũingata andũ arĩa maatũũraga kũrĩa kwaraganu, nĩgũkorwo maarĩ na ngaari cia ita cia igera.

Mukama yali wamu ne Yuda n’awangula abantu abaabeeranga mu nsozi okuggyako yalemwa okuwangula abantu abaabeeranga mu kiwonvu kubanga baalina amagaali ag’ekyuma.

20 Na o ta ũrĩa Musa eeranĩire, Hebironi kwaheirwo Kalebu, nake akĩingata ariũ atatũ a Anaki kuuma kuo.

Kebbulooni n’ekiweebwa Kalebu, nga Musa bwe yalagira, n’akifuumulamu batabani ba Anaki abasatu.

21 No rĩrĩ, andũ a Benjamini nĩmaremirwo nĩ kũingata andũ a Jebusi arĩa maatũũraga Jerusalemu. Andũ a Jebusi matũũranagia na andũ a Benjamini kũu Jerusalemu nginya ũmũthĩ.

22 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a nyũmba ya Jusufu magĩtharĩkĩra Betheli, nake Jehova aarĩ hamwe nao.

N’abasajja ba Yusufu ne balumba Beseri era Mukama yali wamu nabo.

23 Rĩrĩa maatũmire andũ magathigaane Betheli (kũrĩa mbere ĩyo gwetagwo Luzu),

Abasajja ba Yusufu ne batuma abakessi okuketta ekibuga ky’e Beseri edda ekyayitibwanga Luzi.

24 athigaani acio makĩona mũndũ akiuma kũu itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tuonie ũrĩa tũngĩtoonya itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, na nĩtũgaagwĩka maũndũ mega.”

Abakessi bwe baalaba omusajja ng’ava mu kibuga ne bamugamba nti, “Tukwegayiridde tulage omulyango oguyingira mu kibuga naffe tunaakuyisa bulungi.”

25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmoonia, nao makĩũraga andũ a itũũra rĩu inene na rũhiũ rwa njora, no makĩhonokia mũndũ ũcio na nyũmba yake yothe.

Awo bwe yabalaga awayingirirwa, ne bazikiriza n’ekitala abantu b’omu kibuga ekyo; ne batakola kabi konna ku musajja oyo n’ab’omu nnyumba ye bonna.
