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, Israel! Thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to enter in to possess nations greater and mightier than thou, 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 tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard [say], Who can stand before the sons of Anak!
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.
Know then this day, that Jehovah thy God is he that goeth over before thee, a consuming fire; he will destroy them, and he will cast them down before thee, and thou shalt dispossess them and cause them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath said unto thee.
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.
Thou shalt not say in thy heart, when Jehovah thy God thrusteth them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah dispossess them from before thee.
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 thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou enter in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah thy God dispossess them from before thee, and that he may perform the word which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, 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.
Know therefore that Jehovah thy God doth not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art 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 thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.
8 Ku lusozi Kolebu mwanyiiza Mukama Katonda, obusungu bwe ne bubuubuuka nnyo n’okwagala n’ayagala okubazikiriza.
And at Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah 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 the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, and I abode 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 Jehovah delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words which Jehovah spoke with you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on 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 at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah 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 Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them: they have made for 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 Jehovah spoke unto me, 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.”
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
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 came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant 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 I saw, and behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God: ye had made for yourselves a molten calf; ye had quickly turned aside from the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
17 Bwe ntyo ne nzirira ebipande byombi bye nnali nkutte mu ngalo zange ne mbikasuka wansi ne byatikirayatikira mu maaso gammwe nga nammwe mulaba.
And I seized the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
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 fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights, — I ate no bread and drank no water, — because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing what is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
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.
For I was afraid of the anger and fury wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. And Jehovah listened unto me also at that time.
20 Era Mukama yali asunguwalidde nnyo Alooni nga n’okumuzikiriza ayinza okumuzikiriza. Naye mu kiseera ekyo ne Alooni ne mmusabira nnyo.
And with Aaron Jehovah was very angry to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same 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 I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, and ground it very small, until it became fine dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that flowed down from the mountain.
22 Mukama, mwayongera okumusunguwaza bwe mwali e Tabera, n’e Masa, n’e Kiberosu Kataava.
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.
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 Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you, ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24 Kasookedde mbamanya, ebbanga eryo lyonna mubadde mujeemera Mukama Katonda.
Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew 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.
So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights, as I fell down; for Jehovah had said he would 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.
I prayed therefore to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand.
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 thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin;
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 land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he had promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out 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.
They are indeed thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out with thy great power and with thy stretched-out arm.
