Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 34
1 Awo Musa n’ayambuka okuva mu nsenyi za Mowaabu, n’alinnyalinnya Olusozi Nebo, n’atuukira ddala ku ntikko eyitibwa Pisuga, eyolekedde Yeriko. Mukama Katonda n’asinziira awo n’amulengeza ensi yonna ensuubize: okuva ku Giriyaadi okutuuka ku Ddaani,
Then Moses climbed up from the plains in the Moab [region] to the top of Pisgah Peak on Nebo Mountain, across [the Jordan River] from Jericho. There Yahweh showed him all the land [that the Israelis would occupy]. He showed him the Gilead [region] as far north as Dan [city];
2 ne Nafutaali yonna, n’ensi ya Efulayimu ne Manase, n’ensi yonna eya Yuda okutuuka ku Nnyanja ey’Ebugwanjuba,
all [the land that the tribe of] Naphtali would occupy; all the land [that the tribes] of Ephraim and Manasseh [had occupied]; all the land [that the tribe of] Judah would occupy as far west as the Mediterranean sea;
3 ne Negebu n’olusenyi olw’ekiwonvu omuli Ekibuga ky’Enkindu ekiyitibwa Yeriko okutuukira ddala ku Zawaali.
the desert [area in the south part of Judah]; and the [Jordan] Valley that extends from Jericho [in the north] to Zoar [city in the south].
4 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Eyo y’ensi gye nalayirira Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo, nga ngibasuubiza nti, ‘Ndigiwa ezzadde lyo.’ Ngikulaze n’ogiraba n’amaaso go, naye tojja kusomoka kugituukamu.”
Then Yahweh said to him, “You have now seen this land that I solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have allowed you to see it [from a distance], but you will not go there.”
5 Awo Musa, omuweereza wa Mukama, n’afiira awo mu nsi ya Mowaabu, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda bwe kyali.
So Moses, who [always] served Yahweh [faithfully], died there [on that mountain] in the Moab [region], which is what Yahweh said would happen.
6 Mukama n’aziika Musa mu nsi ya Mowaabu, mu kiwonvu ekyolekedde Besupyoli, naye tewali n’omu amanyi malaalo ge we gali ne ku lunaku lwa leero.
Yahweh buried Moses’ body in a valley in the Moab [region], opposite/near Beth-Peor [town], but no one to this day knows where Yahweh buried him.
7 Musa we yafiira yali nga yakamaze emyaka kikumi mu abiri egy’obukulu; kyokka ng’amaaso ge galaba bulungi, era n’amaanyi ge nga tegakendeddeeko.
Moses was 120 years old when he died, but he was still very strong, and he could still see [MTY] very well.
8 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakaabira Musa mu nsenyi za Mowaabu okumala ennaku amakumi asatu, okutuusa ennaku ezo ez’okukaaba n’okukungubagira Musa bwe zaggwaako.
The Israeli people mourned for him in the plains of the Moab [region] for 30 days.
9 Yoswa, mutabani wa Nuuni, yali ajjudde omwoyo ogw’amagezi, kubanga Musa yali yamuteekako emikono gye. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bamuwulira, ne bakola nga Mukama Katonda bwe yali alagidde Musa.
God caused Joshua to be very wise, because Moses had put his hands on Joshua [to appoint him to be their new leader]. The Israeli people obeyed Joshua, and they obeyed all the commands that Yahweh had given to Moses to tell to the Israeli people.
10 Okuva olwo tewayimukangawo nnabbi mulala mu Isirayiri afaanana nga Musa, Mukama Katonda gwe yamanyagana naye amaaso n’amaaso.
Since the time that Moses [lived], there has never been a prophet in Israel like him. Yahweh spoke to him face-to-face/directly.
11 Tewaaliwo yamwenkana olw’obubonero n’ebyamagero Mukama Katonda bye yamutuma okukola mu nsi y’e Misiri ku Falaawo ne ku baweereza be bonna, ne ku nsi ye yonna,
No other prophet has performed all the kinds of [DOU] miracles that Yahweh sent Moses to perform in front of the king of Egypt, his officials, and all [HYP] the people of Egypt.
12 era n’olw’ekitiibwa kye eky’amaanyi amangi, n’obuyinza obw’entiisa bwe yayoleka mu Isirayiri yenna.
No other prophet has been able to do all the great and terrifying things that Moses did while all the Israelis watched.
