Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 31
1 Awo Musa n’agenda n’abuulira Isirayiri yonna ebigambo bino, n’agamba nti,
And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
2 “Olwa leero mpezezza emyaka kikumi mu abiri egy’obukulu; sikyalina maanyi kusobola kufuluma na kuyingira nga bwe njagala. Sikyasobola kubakulembera. Mukama Katonda antegeezezza nti, ‘Togenda kusomoka mugga guno Yoludaani.’
And he said to them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said to me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
3 Mukama Katonda wo yennyini y’ajja okukukulembera mu kusomoka. Ajja kuzikiriza amawanga ago agali emitala, nga naawe olaba, olyoke obatwaleko ensi yaabwe. Yoswa yennyini naye yajja okukukulembera mu kusomoka, nga Mukama bwe yagambye.
The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.
4 Era nga Mukama Katonda bwe yakola Sikoni ne Ogi, bakabaka b’Abamoli n’ensi yaabwe, n’abazikiriza, ne bano bw’alibakola.
And the LORD shall do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to the land of them, whom he destroyed.
5 Mukama Katonda agenda kubagabula gye muli, era kiribagwanira okubakolako nga mugobererera ddala ebiragiro byange bye mbawadde nga bwe biri.
And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.
6 Beera n’amaanyi era ogume omwoyo. Tobatya wadde okubatekemukira, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo anaagendanga naawe buli w’onoddanga, taakulekenga so taakwabulirenga.”
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
7 Awo Musa n’atumya Yoswa n’amugambira mu maaso ga Isirayiri yenna nti, “Beera wa maanyi era ogume omwoyo; kubanga gw’ojja okugenda n’abantu bano mu nsi Mukama Katonda gye yalayirira bajjajjaabwe okugibawa; era gw’ogenda okugibasalirasaliramu ogibakwase okuba obusika bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira.
And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people to the land which the LORD hath sworn to their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8 Mukama Katonda yennyini y’ajjanga okukukulemberanga. Anaabanga naawe bulijjo, taakulekenga so taakwabulirenga. Totya so totekemuka.”
And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
9 Awo Musa n’awandiika amateeka ago, n’agakwasa batabani ba Leevi, bakabona, abaasitulanga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano eya Mukama Katonda, era n’awaako n’abakadde bonna abakulembeze b’abaana ba Isirayiri.
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.
10 Musa n’abalagira bw’ati nti, “Ku buli nkomerero ya myaka musanvu, mu mwaka omutegeke ogusonyiyirwamu amabanja, era nga y’Embaga ey’Ensiisira,
And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
11 Isirayiri yenna nga bazze okulabika mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo mu kifo ky’aneeronderanga, onoosomeranga Isirayiri yenna amateeka gano gonna nga bawulira.
When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
12 Okuŋŋaanyanga abantu: abasajja, n’abakazi, n’abaana, ne bannamawanga abanaaberanga mu bibuga byo, balyoke bawulirizenga era bayigenga okutya Mukama Katonda wammwe, era bagobererenga n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna ebiri mu mateeka gano.
Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
13 Bwe batyo abaana baabwe abataamanyanga mateeka gano, balyoke bagawulire bayigenga okutyanga Mukama Katonda wammwe, obulamu bwammwe bwonna bwe mulimala nga muli mu nsi gye mugenda okusomokera omugga Yoludaani okugirya.”
And that their children, who have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land where ye go over Jordan to possess it.
14 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Obudde bwo obw’okufa busembedde. Yita Yoswa, mujje mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.”
And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
15 Awo Mukama Katonda n’alabikira mu Weema ng’ali mu mpagi ey’ekire; empagi ey’ekire n’eyimirira waggulu w’omulyango gw’Eweema.
And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
16 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Mu bbanga ttono ojja kugalamira ne bajjajjaabo. Olwo abantu bano nga batandika okusinzanga bakatonda abalala abalibeera mu bo, nga be bakatonda ab’omu nsi eyo mwe bajja okuyingira. Bagenda kunvaako bamenye endagaano gye nakola nabo.
And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the harlot with the gods of the strangers of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 Ku lunaku olwo obusungu bwange bulibabuubuukirako, nange ndibakisa amaaso gange, ne babeera bangu okuzikirizibwa, era ebizibu bingi n’emitawaana biribajjira. Ku lunaku olwo balyebuuza nti, ‘Emitawaana gino tegitutuseeko lwa kubanga Katonda waffe tali wakati mu ffe?’
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
18 Ku lunaku olwo ndikwekera ddala amaaso gange olw’ebibi byonna bye banaabanga bakoze nga bakyukidde bakatonda abalala.
And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned to other gods.
19 “Kale nno kaakano wandiika oluyimba luno oluyigirize abaana ba Isirayiri, olubayimbisenga, lulyoke lubeerenga omujulizi wange ku baana ba Isirayiri.
Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20 Kubanga bwe ndimala okubaleeta mu nsi omukulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, gye nasuubiza bajjajjaabwe nga ngibalayirira, ne balya ne bakkuta ne bagejja, balikyukira bakatonda abalala ne babasinza nga babaweereza, ne bannyooma ne bamenya endagaano yange.
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grew fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
21 Obubenje obw’akabi bwe bunaabajjiranga, oluyimba luno lunaabasoomozanga ng’omujulizi nga lubalumiriza, kubanga bazzukulu baabwe banaabanga bakyalulina mu kamwa kaabwe nga tebannalwerabira. Kubanga mmanyi bye balowooza okukola nga n’okubatuusa sinnaba kubatuusa mu nsi gye nabasuubiza nga ngibalayirira.”
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.
22 Bw’atyo, ku lunaku olwo, Musa n’awandiika oluyimba luno n’aluyigiriza abaana ba Isirayiri.
Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
23 Awo Mukama n’awa Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ekiragiro kino ng’agamba nti, “Beera wa maanyi era guma omwoyo, kubanga ggw’oliyingiza abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi gye nabasuubiza nga ngibalayirira; era nange nnaabeeranga naawe.”
And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with thee.
24 Musa bwe yamala okuwandiika mu Kitabo ebigambo eby’amateeka gano, okubiggya ku ntandikwa okubituusa ku nkomerero,
And it came to pass, when Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
25 Musa n’alagira Abaleevi abaasitulanga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano eya Mukama, ng’agamba nti,
That Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
26 “Mutwale Ekitabo ky’Amateeka kino mukiteeke awali Essanduuko ey’Endagaano eya Mukama Katonda wammwe, kibeerenga awo ng’omujulirwa gy’oli.
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
27 Kubanga nkumanyi nga bw’oli omujeemu era alina ensingo enkakanyavu. Obanga mubadde mujeemera Mukama Katonda nga nkyaliwo nammwe, kale nga mmaze okufa okujeema kwammwe tekuusingewo nnyo!
For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
28 Munkuŋŋaanyize wano abakadde b’ebika byammwe abakulembeze bammwe bonna, njogere ebigambo bino mu matu gaabwe nga bawulira; era mpita eggulu n’ensi bibeere abajulirwa okubalumiriza.
Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
29 Kubanga mmanyi nga bwe nnaamala okufa mujja kwefaafaaganyiza ddala nga mukyama okuleka ekkubo lye mbalagidde okukwatanga. Mu biseera ebijja emitawaana gijjanga kubajjira, nga mukoze ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda mulyoke mumusunguwaze olw’ebyo emikono gyammwe bye ginaabanga gikoze.”
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
30 Awo Musa n’ayogera, ebigambo by’oluyimba luno okuluggya ku ntandikwa yaalwo n’okulutuusa ku nkomerero ng’ekibiina kya Isirayiri yenna kiwulira.
And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
