Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 3
1 Awo ne tukyuka ne twambukira mu kkubo eriraga e Basani. Ogi, Kabaka w’e Basani, n’afuluma n’eggye lye lyonna n’ajja okututabaala mu lutalo olwalwanirwa mu Ederei.
And we turned, and went up the way to Bashan; and 'Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to the battle at Edre'i.
2 Naye Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tomutya, kubanga oyo mmugabudde mu mukono gwo ye n’eggye lye lyonna n’ensi ye. Kale, mukole nga bwe wakola Sikoni Kabaka w’Abamoli abaabeeranga mu Kesuboni.”
And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
3 Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda waffe n’agabula ne Ogi Kabaka w’e Basani mu mukono gwaffe awamu n’eggye lye lyonna. Ne tubatta bonna obutalekaawo muntu n’omu.
And the Lord our God gave into our hands also 'Og the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him who escaped.
4 Era mu kiseera ekyo ne tuwamba ebibuga bye byonna ne tubitwala. Ebibuga enkaaga byonna tekwaliko kibuga na kimu kye tutaabatwalako, ne tutwala amatwale gonna aga Alugobu ag’obwakabaka bwa Ogi mu Basani.
And we conquered all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of 'Og in Bashan.
5 Ebibuga ebyo byonna byali bizimbiddwa mu bigo eby’ebisenge ebiwanvu, n’emizigo egy’emitayimbwa, ng’okwo kw’ogatta n’obubuga obw’omu byalo obutaaliko bisenge.
all these were fortified cities, with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns, which were a great many.
6 Twabizikiririza ddala byonna nga bwe twakola ebya Sikoni kabaka w’e Kesuboni, nga tuzikiriza buli kibuga n’abasajja bonna abaakirimu n’abakazi n’abaana abato bonna.
And we devoted them, as we had done unto Sichon the king of Cheshbon, devoting every inhabited city, the women, and the little ones.
7 Naye ente ne tuzeetwalira awamu n’omunyago gwe twaggya mu bibuga bye twawamba.
But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took as booty to ourselves.
8 Bwe tutyo mu kiseera ekyo ne tutwala ebitundu by’ensi byonna ebyali ebya bakabaka bombi ab’Abamoli ebyali ku luuyi lw’ebuvanjuba olw’omugga Yoludaani; okuva ku Kiwonvu Alunoni okutuuka ku Lusozi Kerumooni.
And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Emorites the land which is on this side of the Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Chermon;
9 Abasidoni nga Kerumooni baluyita Siriyooni, ate bo Abamoli nga baluyita Seniri.
(The Sidonians call Chermon Siryon; and the Emorites call it Senir; )
10 Twatwala ebibuga byonna ebyali mu kitundu ekya waggulu ekitereevu ne Gireyaadi yonna ne Basani yonna okutuuka ku Saleka ne Ederei, ng’ebyo byali bibuga eby’omu bwakabaka bwa Ogi mu Basani.
All the cities of the plain, and all Gil'ad, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of 'Og in Bashan.
11 Ogi kabaka wa Basani ye yali asigaddewo ku Balefa. Ekitanda kye kyakolebwa mu kyuma, nga kiriko mita nnya obuwanvu, n’obugazi bwa mita emu n’obutundu munaana. Kikyaliyo mu Raba eky’Abamoni.
For only 'Og the king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; lo! it is in Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon: nine cubits is its length, and four cubits its breadth, after the arm of a man.
12 Bwe twamala okwetwalira ebitundu by’ensi ebyo bye twawangula mu kaseera ako, ne ngabira Abalewubeeni n’Abagaadi ekitundu ekyo ekiri ku bukiikakkono okuva ku Aloweri n’okugendera ku mukugiro gw’Ekiwonvu kya Alunoni, n’ekitundu ekyamakkati eky’ensi y’ensozi eya Gireyaadi, awamu n’ebibuga byamu.
And of this land, of which we took possession at that time, from 'Aro'er, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gil'ad, and the cities thereof, I gave unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
13 Ekitundu kya Gireyaadi ekyasigalawo, n’obwakabaka bwa Ogi obwa Basani omugendera ne Alugabu, ne mbigabira ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase. Ekitundu kya Alugabu kyonna mu Basani, wonna nga wayitibwa nsi ya Balefa.
And the rest of Gil'ad, and all Bashan, the kingdom of 'Og, I gave unto the half tribe of Menasseh: all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, this is called the land of Rephaim.
14 Yayiri, ava mu Manase, yafuna ekitundu kyonna ekya Alugabu, era ye Basani, nga kyerambulula okutuukira ddala ku nsalo ey’Abagesuli n’Abamaakasi; n’akibbulamu erinnya lye, n’okutuusa leero ensi Basani eyitibwa Kavosu Yayiri.
Yair the son of Menasseh took all the region of Argob up to the border of the Geshurites and the Ma-'achathites; and he called them the [land of] Bashan, after his own name, the villages of Yair, unto this day.
15 Gireyaadi nagigabira Makiri.
And unto Machir I gave Gil'ad.
16 Abalewubeeni n’Abagaadi ne mbagabira ekitundu ky’ensi ekiva ku Gireyaadi okuserengeta mu Kiwonvu kya Alunoni, nga mu makkati gaakyo ye nsalo, n’okutuukira ddala ku mugga Yaboki ogw’ensalo n’Abamoni.
And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gil'ad even unto the brook Arnon, the land within the river and that adjoining, even unto the brook Yabbok, the border of the children of 'Ammon;
17 Omugga Yoludaani nga ye nsalo ey’ebugwanjuba mu Alaba, okuviira ddala ku Kinneresi okutuuka ku Nnyanja ya Alaba, ye Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo, wansi w’olugulungujjo lw’olusozi Pisuga ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba.
The plain also, and the Jordan, and the adjoining land, from Kinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, under the declivities of Pisgah, eastward.
18 Mu kiseera ekyo, mmwe ab’ekika kya Lewubeeni, n’ekya Gaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase, nabalagira nga mbagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wammwe abawadde ekitundu ky’ensi kino okubeera obutaka bwammwe. Naye basajja bammwe bonna ab’amaanyi abazira nga beesibye ebyokulwanyisa, be balisooka baganda bammwe abaana ba Isirayiri okusomoka Yoludaani.
And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: armed shall ye pass over before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are fit to bear arms.
19 Kyokka, bakazi bammwe, n’abaana bammwe balisigala mu bibuga bye nabawa awamu n’ente zammwe ze mulina, ze mmanyi nga bwe ziri ennyingi,
But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (I know that ye have much cattle, ) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;
20 okutuusa nga baganda bammwe bamaze okwetwalira ensi eri emitala w’omugga Yoludaani, Mukama Katonda wammwe gy’abawa; Mukama alyoke awe baganda bammwe ekiwummulo nga nammwe bwe yakibawa. Oluvannyuma mulikomawo mu butaka bwammwe bwe nabagabira.”
Until that the Lord have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God giveth them beyond the Jordan: then shall ye return every man unto his possession which I have given you.
21 Mu kiseera ekyo ne ndagira Yoswa, ne mmugamba nti, “Ebyo byonna Mukama Katonda wammwe byakoze bakabaka abo ababiri obyerabiddeko n’amaaso go gennyini. Bw’atyo Mukama bw’alikola obwakabaka bwonna obuli eyo gye mugenda.
And Joshua also I commanded at that time, saying, Thy own eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: thus will the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
22 Temubatyanga; kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe yennyini y’anaabalwaniriranga.”
Ye shall not fear them; for the Lord your God it is who fighteth for you.
23 Mu kiseera ekyo ne neegayirira Mukama nga njogera nti,
And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,
24 “Ayi Mukama Katonda, otandise okundaga nze omuddu wo, omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi n’obukulu bwo obw’ekitiibwa. Kubanga katonda ki ali mu ggulu oba ali ku nsi asobola okukola ebyekyewuunyo bino byonna by’okola, n’emirimu egy’amaanyi bwe gityo gy’okola?
O Lord Eternal, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand; for what God is there in heaven or on earth, that can do aught like thy works, and like thy mighty deeds?
25 Nkusaba, nsomoke omugga Yoludaani, ŋŋende ndabe ku nsi ennungi bw’etyo eri emitala waagwo, ensi eyo ey’ensozi ezirabika obulungi, awamu ne Lebanooni.”
Let me go over, I pray thee, that I may see the good land which is on the other side of the Jordan, this goodly mountain, and the Lebanon.
26 Naye Mukama n’ansunguwalira nnyo ku lwammwe, bye namusaba n’atabiwuliriza. Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ebyo by’oyogedde bikumale; toddayo kwogera gye ndi nate ku nsonga eyo.
But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and he would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; do not continue to speak unto me any more of this matter.
27 Yambuka waggulu ku ntikko y’olusozi Pisuga, ositule amaaso go otunule ebugwanjuba, ne ku bukiikakkono, n’ebuvanjuba ne ku bukiikaddyo. Weerabireko ku nsi eyo n’amaaso go gennyini, kubanga togenda kusomoka mugga guno Yoludaani.
Get thee up unto the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes, westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thy eyes; for thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.
28 Naye obuyinza bukwase Yoswa, omukuutire era omugumye afune amaanyi, kubanga y’agenda okukulembera abantu bano nga basomoka, era ye alibasobozesa okulya ensi eyo gy’ojja okulaba, okubeera obutaka bwabwe.”
And do thou charge Joshua, and strengthen him, and encourage him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall divide out to them the land which thou shalt see.
29 Bwe tutyo ne tubeera awo mu kiwonvu okumpi ne Besu Peoli.
And we abode in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
