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.
“And we turn and journey into the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea, as YHWH has spoken to me, and we go around Mount Seir [for] many days.
2 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti,
And YHWH speaks to me, saying,
3 “Mu nsi eno ey’ensozi mutambuliddemu ekiseera kiwanvu, era kimala; kale kaakano mukyuke mulage mu bukiikakkono.
For you go around this mountain long enough; turn for yourselves 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 the people command you, saying, You are passing over into the border of your brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and you have been very watchful;
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.
you do not strive with them, for I do not give [any] of their land to you—even the treading of the sole of a foot; I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
6 Mubagulangako emmere gye munaalyanga nga mugisasulira n’ensimbi, n’amazzi ag’okunywa nago nga mugasasulira ensimbi.’”
You buy food from them with money, and have eaten; and you also buy water from them with money, and have drunk.
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 your God YHWH has blessed you in all the work of your hands; He has known your walking in this great wilderness these forty years; your God YHWH [is] with you; you have not lacked anything.
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 we pass by from our brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath and by Ezion-Gaber, and we turn and pass over 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 YHWH says to me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir yourself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give [any] of their land to you [for] a possession; for I have given Ar to the sons 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 Emim have formerly dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall as the Anakim;
11 Baayitibwanga Baleefa okufaanana nga Abanaki bwe baayitibwanga, naye Abamowaabu nga bo babayita Bemi.
they are reckoned [as] Rephaim, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.
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.
And the Horim have formerly dwelt in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel has done to the land of his possession which YHWH has given to them.
13 Mukama n’agamba nti, “Musituke musomoke akagga Zeredi.” Ne tusomoka.
Now rise and pass over the Brook of Zered for yourselves; and we pass over the Brook of 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 days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until we have passed over the Brook of Zered [are] thirty-eight years, until the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as YHWH has sworn to them;
15 Kubanga Mukama Katonda yamalirira okubazikiriza n’omukono gwe okutuusa ng’abamaliddemu ddala mu lusiisira lwabwe.
and indeed the hand of YHWH has been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they are consumed.
16 Awo olwatuuka abasajja abalwanyi bonna bwe baamala okufa, nga bazikiridde baweddewo mu bantu,
And it comes to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,
17 Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti,
that YHWH speaks to me, saying,
18 “Olwa leero munaasala ensalo ya Mowaabu mu Ali.
Today you are passing over the border of Moab, even Ar,
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 have come near the sons of Ammon, you do not distress them, nor stir yourself up against them, for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to you [for] a possession; for I have given it to the sons of Lot [for] a possession.
20 Ekitundu ekyo era kyali kiyitibwa nsi ya Baleefa, kubanga Abaleefa be baabeerangamu naye Abamoni nga babayita Bazamuzumu.
It is reckoned [as] a land of Rephaim, even it; Rephaim formerly dwelt in it, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
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 numerous, and tall as the Anakim, and YHWH destroys them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead,
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 has done for the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead to 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.
As for the Avim who are dwelling in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim—who are coming out from Caphtor—have destroyed them, and dwell in their stead.
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, journey, and pass over the Brook of Arnon; see, I have given into your hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to possess [it], and stir yourself up against 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 [is] the day I begin to put your dread and your fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear your fame, and have trembled and been pained 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 send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to 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 over through your land; in the way—in the way I go, I do not turn aside [to the] right or 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 sell me food for money, and I have eaten; and you give to me water for money, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over 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 sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar have done for me, until I pass over the Jordan to the land which our God YHWH is giving to 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.
And Sihon king of Heshbon has not been willing to let us pass over by him, for your God YHWH has hardened his spirit and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into your hand as at 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 YHWH says to me, See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before your faces; begin to possess—to possess his land.
32 Kabaka Sikoni n’eggye lye lyonna ne batulumba mu lutabaalo olw’e Yakazi.
And Sihon comes out to meet us, he and all his people, to the battle at Jahaz;
33 Mukama Katonda waffe n’agabula Sikoni n’eggye lye lyonna, ne batabani be, mu mukono gwaffe ne tubawangula.
and our God YHWH gives him before our faces, and we strike 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 capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city—men, and the women, and the infants; we have not left a remnant;
35 Naye ente ne tuzeetwalira awamu n’omunyago gwe twaggya mu bibuga bye twawamba.
only, we have spoiled the livestock for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we have captured.
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 edge of the Brook of Arnon, and the city which [is] by the brook, even to Gilead, there has not been a city which [is] too high for us; our God YHWH has given the whole before our faces.
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, you have not drawn near to the land of the sons of Ammon—any part of the Brook of Jabbok, and cities of the hill-country, and anything which our God YHWH has [not] commanded.”
