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 turn, and go up the way to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan cometh out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle, [to] Edrei.
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 Jehovah saith unto me, Fear him not, for into thy hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and thou hast done to him as thou hast done to Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon.
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 Jehovah our God giveth into our hands also Og king of Bashan, and all his people, and we smite him till there hath not been left to him a remnant;
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 capture all his cities at that time, there hath not been a city which we have not taken 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 [are] cities fenced with high walls, two-leaved doors and bar, apart from cities of villages very 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 devote them, as we have done to Sihon king of Heshbon, devoting every city, men, the women, and the infants;
7 Naye ente ne tuzeetwalira awamu n’omunyago gwe twaggya mu bibuga bye twawamba.
and all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we have spoiled for 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 take, at that time, the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorite, which is beyond the Jordan, from the brook Arnon unto mount Hermon;
9 Abasidoni nga Kerumooni baluyita Siriyooni, ate bo Abamoli nga baluyita Seniri.
(Sidonians call Hermon, Sirion; and the Amorites 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 Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, 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 king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; lo, his bedstead [is] a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits its length, and four cubits its breadth, by the cubit 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 this land we have possessed, at that time; from Aroer, which [is] by the brook Arnon, and the half of mount Gilead, and its cities, I have given to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite;
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 Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I have given to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, to all that Bashan, 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.
'Jair son of Manasseh hath taken all the region of Argob, unto the border of Geshuri, and Maachathi, and calleth them by his own name, Bashan-Havoth-Jair, unto this day.
15 Gireyaadi nagigabira Makiri.
And to Machir I have given Gilead.
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 to the Reubenite and to the Gadite I have given from Gilead even unto the brook Arnon, the middle of the valley and the border, even unto Jabbok the brook, the border of the sons 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.
and the plain, and the Jordan, and the border, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, the salt sea, under the springs of Pisgah, at the [sun] -rising.
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 command you, at that time, saying, Jehovah your God hath given to you this land to possess it; armed ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel, all the sons of might.
19 Kyokka, bakazi bammwe, n’abaana bammwe balisigala mu bibuga bye nabawa awamu n’ente zammwe ze mulina, ze mmanyi nga bwe ziri ennyingi,
Only, your wives, and your infants, and your cattle — I have known that ye have much cattle — do dwell in your cities which I have given to 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.”
till that Jehovah give rest to your brethren like yourselves, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them beyond the Jordan, then ye have turned back each to his possession, which I have given to 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 Jehoshua I have commanded at that time, saying, Thine eyes are seeing all that which Jehovah your God hath done to these two kings — so doth Jehovah to all the kingdoms whither thou are passing over;
22 Temubatyanga; kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe yennyini y’anaabalwaniriranga.”
fear them not, for Jehovah your God, He is fighting for you.
23 Mu kiseera ekyo ne neegayirira Mukama nga njogera nti,
'And I entreat for grace unto Jehovah, 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?
Lord Jehovah, Thou — Thou hast begun to shew Thy servant Thy greatness, and Thy strong hand; for who [is] a God in the heavens or in earth who doth according to Thy works, and according to Thy might?
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 pass over, I pray Thee, and see the good land which [is] beyond the Jordan, this good hill-country, and 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.
'And Jehovah sheweth himself wroth with me, for your sake, and hath not hearkened unto me, and Jehovah saith unto me, Enough for thee; add not to speak unto Me any more about this thing:
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.
go up [to] the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with thine eyes — for thou dost 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 charge Jehoshua, and strengthen him, and harden him, for he doth pass over before this people, and he doth cause them to inherit the land which thou seest.
29 Bwe tutyo ne tubeera awo mu kiwonvu okumpi ne Besu Peoli.
'And we dwell in a valley over-against Beth-Peor.
