Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 9
1 Wulira, Ayi Isirayiri. Osemberedde olunaku lw’ojja okusomokerako omugga Yoludaani, oyingire mu nsi omuli amawanga agakusinga obunene, ogyetwalire ogyefunire. Olisangamu ebibuga ebinene ebyebulunguddwa ebigo ebyawanvuwa okutuuka ku ggulu.
Hear, O Israel: You go this day across Jordan to inherit nations greater and stronger than yourselves, cities great and walled up to heaven;
2 Abantu baayo be batabani ba Anaki, ba maanyi era bawanvu. Obamanyi bulungi, era wawulirako dda nga boogerwako nti, “Ani ayinza okwolekera Abanaki?”
a people great and many and tall, the sons of Enac, whom you know, and concerning whom you have heard [say], Who can stand before the children of Enac?
3 Naye kitegeere leero nga Mukama Katonda wo y’akukulembera buli gy’oba olaga yonna, era ng’ali ng’omuliro ogusaanyaawo buli kintu. Ab’amaanyi abo agenda kubasiguukulula abazikirize nga naawe olaba. Noolwekyo ogenda kubagobamu obamalirewo ddala mu kaseera katono, nga Mukama bw’akusuubizza.
And you shall know today, that the Lord your God he shall go before your face: he is a consuming fire; he shall destroy them, and he shall turn them back before you, and shall destroy them quickly, as the Lord said to you.
4 Mukama Katonda wo bw’alimala okugobamu amawanga ago gonna nga naawe olaba, teweewaananga nga weeyogerako nti, “Mukama ansobozesezza okuyingira mu nsi muno n’okugifuna olw’obutuukirivu bwange;” songa lwa butali butuukirivu bwa mawanga ago, Mukama kyanaava agagobamu mu maaso go.
Speak not in your heart, when the Lord your God has destroyed these nations before your face, saying, For my righteousness the Lord brought me in to inherit this good land.
5 Ojja kuyingira mu nsi yaabwe ogitwale, si lwa kubanga oli mutuukirivu, oba omwesigwa; wabula lwa kibi ky’amawanga ago Mukama Katonda wo kyanaava agagoba mu maaso go, atuukirize n’ekisuubizo kye yalayirira bajjajjaabo: Ibulayimu ne Isaaka ne Yakobo.
Not for your righteousness, nor for the holiness of your heart, do you go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord will destroy them from before you, and that he may establish the covenant, which the Lord sware to our fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 Osaana okitegeere ng’ensi eno ennungi Mukama Katonda gy’akuwa okugyefunira tagikuwa lwa kubanga oli mutuukirivu; kubanga oli muntu alina ensingo enkakanyavu.
And you shall know today, that [it is] not for your righteousnesses the Lord your God gives you this good land to inherit, for you are a stiff-necked people.
7 Ojjukiranga, era tosaana kwerabiranga, nga bwe wasunguwaza Mukama Katonda wo ng’oli mu ddungu. Okuviira ddala ku lunaku lwe wava mu nsi ey’e Misiri mubadde mujeemera Mukama n’okutuusa lwe mutuuse mu kifo kino.
Remember, forget not, how much you provoked the Lord your God in the wilderness: from the day that you came forth out of Egypt, even till you came into this place, you continued to be disobedient towards the Lord.
8 Ku lusozi Kolebu mwanyiiza Mukama Katonda, obusungu bwe ne bubuubuuka nnyo n’okwagala n’ayagala okubazikiriza.
Also in Choreb you provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you to destroy you;
9 Bwe nalinnya ku lusozi okuweebwa ebipande eby’amayinja, nga bye byaliko endagaano Mukama Katonda gye yali alagaanye nammwe, ne mmala ku lusozi ennaku amakumi ana emisana n’ekiro, saalya ku mmere wadde okunywa ku mazzi.
when I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no water.
10 Mukama Katonda n’ampa ebipande bibiri eby’amayinja nga biwandiikiddwako n’engalo ya Katonda. Ku byo kwali kuwandiikiddwako amateeka Mukama ge yali abalangiridde ng’ali ku lusozi wakati mu muliro ku lunaku olwo nga mwenna mukuŋŋaanye.
And the Lord gave me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them there had been written all the words which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain in the day of the assembly.
11 Ku nkomerero y’ennaku amakumi ana n’ebiro amakumi ana Mukama Katonda n’ampa ebipande ebibiri eby’amayinja nga bye bipande eby’endagaano.
And it came to pass after forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.
12 Awo Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Situka ove mangu wano oserengete, kubanga abantu bo be waggya mu Misiri boonoonye. Beekyusizza mangu ne bava mu kkubo lye nabalagira okutambulirangamu, ne beekolera ekibumbe ekisaanuuse ekitali Katonda.”
And the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed; they have gone aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, and have made themselves a molten image.
13 Era Mukama Katonda ne yeeyongera n’aŋŋamba nti, “Neetegerezza abantu bano, ne ndaba nga bantu abalina ensingo enkakanyavu, nga ggwanga lya mputtu.
And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to you once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
14 Leka mbazikirize, erinnya ly’eggwanga lyabwe ndisangulewo wansi w’eggulu. Ndikuggyamu eggwanga eddene era ery’amaanyi okusinga eggwanga lyabwe.”
And now suffer me utterly to destroy them, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and will make of you a nation great and strong, and more numerous than this.
15 Bwe ntyo ne nkyuka ne nva ku lusozi ne nserengeta, ne ndeka ng’olusozi lwaka omuliro. Ebipande byombi eby’amateeka eby’endagaano nabirina mu mikono gyange gyombi.
And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burnt with fire to heaven; and the two tables of the testimonies [were] in my two hands.
16 Bwe natunula ne ndaba nga mwonoonye mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wammwe; mwali mwekoledde ekitali Katonda nga mukibumbye okufaanana ng’ennyana; mwali mukyuse mangu okuva mu kkubo Mukama lye yali abalagidde.
And when I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep;
17 Bwe ntyo ne nzirira ebipande byombi bye nnali nkutte mu ngalo zange ne mbikasuka wansi ne byatikirayatikira mu maaso gammwe nga nammwe mulaba.
then I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before you.
18 Ate ne nziramu okweyala wansi awali Mukama Katonda okumala ennaku amakumi ana, emisana n’ekiro, Mukama bwe yali amaliridde okubazikiririza ddala yeefunire eggwanga eddala; ne sirya ku mmere wadde okunywa ku tuzzi okumala ennaku amakumi ana emisana n’ekiro, olw’ekibi kye mwali mukoze, bwe mwakola ebitasaana mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda ne mumusunguwaza.
And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which you sinned in doing evil before the Lord God to provoke him.
19 Ne ntya nnyo olw’obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda n’ekiruyi kye, kubanga yali abasunguwalidde nnyo ng’ayinza n’okubazikiriza. Naye era Mukama n’ampuliriza ne ku mulundi ogwo.
And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly to destroy you; yet the Lord listened to me at this time also.
20 Era Mukama yali asunguwalidde nnyo Alooni nga n’okumuzikiriza ayinza okumuzikiriza. Naye mu kiseera ekyo ne Alooni ne mmusabira nnyo.
And he was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that time.
21 Ne nzirira ennyana eyabaleetera okusobya, ne ngyokya mu muliro. Ne ngisekulasekula ne ngisa, n’efuuka olufufugge. Olufufugge olwo ne nduyiwa mu kagga akaali kakulukutira ku lusozi olunene.
And your sin which you had made, [even] the calf, I took, and burnt it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
22 Mukama, mwayongera okumusunguwaza bwe mwali e Tabera, n’e Masa, n’e Kiberosu Kataava.
Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the graves of lust, you provoked the Lord.
23 Era Mukama bwe yabasindika okuva e Kadesubanea, yabagamba nti, “Mwambuke mwetwalire ensi gye mbawadde.” Naye ne mujeemera ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda wammwe. Temwamwesiga wadde okumugondera.
And when the Lord sent you forth from Cades Barne, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I give to you, then you disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, and believed him not, and listened not to his voice.
24 Kasookedde mbamanya, ebbanga eryo lyonna mubadde mujeemera Mukama Katonda.
You were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which he became known to you.
25 Bwe ntyo ne nambaala ku ttaka nga neevuunise mu maaso ga Mukama, okumala ennaku amakumi ana emisana n’ekiro; kubanga Mukama Katonda yali agambye nti ajja kubazikiriza.
And I prayed before the Lord forty days and forty nights, the number that I prayed [before], for the Lord said that he would utterly destroy you.
26 Ne nsaba Mukama nti, Ayi Mukama Katonda, bano be bantu bo, era obusika bwo bwennyini, be wanunula n’obaggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi.
And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not your people and your inheritance, whom you did redeem, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great power, and with your strong hand, and with your high arm.
27 Nkusaba ojjukire abaddu bo, era abaweereza bo, Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo osonyiwe obukakanyavu bw’eggwanga lino, n’obunafu bwalyo n’ebibi byalyo.
Remember Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob your servants, to whom you sware by yourself: look not upon the hardness of heart of this people, and their impieties, and their sins.
28 Ab’omu nsi mwe watuggya baleme okugamba nti, “Olwokubanga Mukama yali tasobola kubatuusa mu nsi gye yabasuubiza, era olwokubanga yali abakyaye nnyo, kyeyava abaggyayo mu Misiri alyoke abattire mu ddungu.”
Lest the inhabitants of the land whence you brought us out speak, saying, Because the Lord could not bring them into the land of which he spoke to them, and because he hated them, has he brought them forth to kill them in the wilderness.
29 Kubanga lino lye ggwanga lyo, be bantu bo ab’obusika bwo, be waggya mu Misiri n’obuyinza bwo obungi, n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi.
And these [are] your people and your portion, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great strength, and with your mighty hand, and with your high arm.
