Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 2
1 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.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spoke unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the LORD spoke unto me, saying,
3 “Mu nsi eno ey’ensozi mutambuliddemu ekiseera kiwanvu, era kimala; kale kaakano mukyuke mulage mu bukiikakkono.
All of you have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4 Abantu bawe ebiragiro bino nti, ‘Muli kumpi okutuuka mu nsi ya baganda bammwe, abazzukulu ba Esawu ababeera mu Seyiri, bajja kubatya, kyokka mubeegendereza nnyo.
And command you the people, saying, All of you are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take all of you good heed unto yourselves therefore:
5 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.
Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.
6 Mubagulangako emmere gye munaalyanga nga mugisasulira n’ensimbi, n’amazzi ag’okunywa nago nga mugasasulira ensimbi.’”
All of you shall buy food of them for money, that all of you may eat; and all of you shall also buy water of them for money, that all of you may drink.
7 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.
For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the works of your hand: he knows your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
8 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.
And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 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.”
And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give you of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.
10 Abemi be baabeeranga mu kitundu ekyo, nga basajja banene, nga ba maanyi, nga bangi nnyo, era nga bawanvu okwenkana nga Abanaki.
The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
11 Baayitibwanga Baleefa okufaanana nga Abanaki bwe baayitibwanga, naye Abamowaabu nga bo babayita Bemi.
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
12 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.
The Horims also dwelt in Seir in time past; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their position; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.
13 Mukama n’agamba nti, “Musituke musomoke akagga Zeredi.” Ne tusomoka.
Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14 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.
And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD swore unto them.
15 Kubanga Mukama Katonda yamalirira okubazikiriza n’omukono gwe okutuusa ng’abamaliddemu ddala mu lusiisira lwabwe.
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
16 Awo olwatuuka abasajja abalwanyi bonna bwe baamala okufa, nga bazikiridde baweddewo mu bantu,
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti,
That the LORD spoke unto me, saying,
18 “Olwa leero munaasala ensalo ya Mowaabu mu Ali.
You are to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
19 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.”
And when you come nigh opposite to the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
20 Ekitundu ekyo era kyali kiyitibwa nsi ya Baleefa, kubanga Abaleefa be baabeerangamu naye Abamoni nga babayita Bazamuzumu.
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
21 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.
A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their position:
22 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.
As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their position even unto this day:
23 Abavi abaabeeranga mu byalo ebyesuddeko okutuuka e Gaza, Abakafutoli abaava e Kafutoli bajja ne babazikiriza ne batwala ensi yaabwe bo ne bagibeeramu.
And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their position.)
24 “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.
Rise all of you up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, 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.
25 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.”
This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.
26 Nga tuli mu ddungu ly’e Kedemosi natumira Sikoni Kabaka w’e Kesuboni n’obubaka obw’okuteesa emirembe nga mmugamba nti,
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 “Tukkirize tuyite mu nsi yo. Tujja kutambulira mu luguudo mwokka nga tetuwunjuseeko kulaga ku ludda olwa ddyo oba olwa kkono.
Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
28 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,
You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
29 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.”
(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me; ) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.
30 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.
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 appears this day.
31 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.”
And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.
32 Kabaka Sikoni n’eggye lye lyonna ne batulumba mu lutabaalo olw’e Yakazi.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 Mukama Katonda waffe n’agabula Sikoni n’eggye lye lyonna, ne batabani be, mu mukono gwaffe ne tubawangula.
And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we stroke him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 Mu kaseera ako twawamba ebibuga bye byonna ne tubizikiriza n’abantu bonna, abasajja, n’abakazi, n’abaana abato, tetwalekerawo ddala.
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35 Naye ente ne tuzeetwalira awamu n’omunyago gwe twaggya mu bibuga bye twawamba.
Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 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.
From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:
37 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.
Only unto the land of the children of Ammon you came not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.
