Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 1

1 Bino bye bigambo Musa bye yategeeza Abayisirayiri bonna nga bali ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba w’omugga Yoludaani mu ddungu, mu Alaba okwolekera Sufu, wakati wa Palani ne Toferi, ne Labani, ne Kazerosi ne Dizakabu.

Ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Mōsese ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he potu mai ʻo Sioatani ʻi he toafa, ʻi he toafa ʻoku hangatonu ki he tahi Kulokula, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Palani, mo Tofeli, mo Lepani, mo Heseloti, mo Tesapi.

2 Waliwo olugendo lwa nnaku kkumi na lumu okuva e Kolebu okutuuka e Kadesubanea, ng’okutte ekkubo eriyitira ku Lusozi Seyiri.

(Ko e fonongaʻanga ia ʻoe ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma taha mei Holepi ʻi he hala ʻoe moʻunga ko Seia ki Ketesi-pania.)

3 Awo ku lunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omwezi ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu, mu mwaka ogw’amakumi ana, Musa n’ategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri ebyo byonna Mukama bye yamulagira okubabuulira.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fāngofulu taʻu, ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻoe māhina, naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau atu ʻe Sihova kiate ia ke tala kiate kinautolu;

4 Mu kiseera ekyo Musa yali amaze okuwangula Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli eyabeeranga mu Kesuboni, ne Ogi kabaka w’e Basani eyabeeranga mu Asutaloosi ne mu Ederei.

Hili ʻene tāmateʻi ʻa Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi, mo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi ʻAsitelote ʻi ʻEtilei:

5 Ku ludda lw’eyo olw’ebuvanjuba olw’omugga Yoludaani, mu nsi ya Mowaabu, Musa n’atandika okulangirira amateeka gano ng’ayogera nti:

‌ʻI he potu mai ʻo Sioatani, ʻI he fonua ʻo Moape, naʻe kamata fakahā ʻe Mōsese ʻae fono ni, ʻo pehē,

6 “Mukama Katonda waffe yatugamba nga tuli ku Kolebu nti, ‘Ebbanga lye mumaze ku lusozi luno limala;

“Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ʻi Holepi, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mou nofo fuoloa lelei ʻi he moʻunga ni:

7 kale musitule mukyuke, mutambule nga mwolekera ensi ey’ensozi ey’Abamoli, ne mu baliraanwa baabwe yonna mu Alaba, mu nsozi, ne mu bisenyi, ne mu Negebu, ne ku lubalama lw’ennyanja, ne mu nsi ya Bakanani n’ey’Abalebanooni, okutuukira ddala ku mugga omunene, Omugga Fulaati.

Mou tafoki, ʻo hiki homou fononga, pea ʻalu ki he moʻunga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, pea ki he ngaahi potu ofi ki ai, ʻi he tafangafanga, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi he teleʻa, pea ʻi he potu tonga, pea ʻi he potu matātahi, ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kēnani, pea ki Lepanoni, ki he vaitafe lahi, ʻae vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.

8 Mulabe, ensi eyo ngibawadde. Muyingire mwetwalire ensi eyo Mukama Katonda gye yeerayirira okugiwa bajjajjammwe: Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo; okugibawa bo n’ezzadde lyabwe eririddawo.’

Vakai, kuo u tuku ʻae fonua ki homou ʻao: mou ʻalu ki ai ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻe Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko ʻEpalahame mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope, ke foaki ia kiate kinautolu, pea ki honau hako kimui ʻiate kinautolu.’”

9 “Mu biro ebyo nabagamba nti, ‘Sisobola kubalabirira nzekka bw’omu.

Pea ne u lea kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u mafai ke kātakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻeau pe:

10 Mukama Katonda wammwe abongedde nnyo obungi, ne muwera nnyo; era, laba, kaakano muli ng’emmunyeenye ez’oku ggulu mu bungi bwammwe.

Kuo fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea, vakai, ʻoku mou tatau he ʻaho ni mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi hono lahi.

11 Nsaba Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe abongereko obungi emirundi lukumi okusinga nga bwe muli leero, era abawenga omukisa nga bwe yabasuubiza.

(Kae ʻofa ke fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ke laui liunga afe ʻa homou tokolahi ni, pea tāpuakiʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ne talaʻofa kiate kimoutolu!)

12 Kale, nze obw’omu nzekka nnaasobola ntya okwetikka omugugu gwammwe ogwo oguzitowa bwe gutyo, n’okubamalirawo ennyombo zammwe?

‌ʻE fēfē ʻeku faʻa fai ke kātaki ʻeau pe hoʻomou fakafiu mo hoʻomou kavenga, mo hoʻomou fekeʻikeʻi?

13 Kale nno, mwerondemu, mu buli kika kyammwe, ab’amagezi, abategeevu era abalina obumanyirivu nga bassibwamu ekitiibwa, nange nnaabakuza ne mbafuula abakulembeze bammwe.’

Mou fili ha kau tangata poto, ʻoku loto matala, ʻaia kuo ʻiloa ʻi homou ngaahi faʻahinga, pea te u fakanofo ʻakinautolu kenau puleʻi ʻakimoutolu.

14 Nammwe mwanziramu nti, ‘Ekintu ky’otuteeserezza ffe okukola kirungi tukisiima.’

Pea ne mou tala mai kiate au, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa kuo ke lea ki ai ʻoku lelei ia ke mau fai.”

15 “Bwe ntyo ne nzirira abakulu b’ebika byammwe, nga basajja ba magezi, abalina obumanyirivu, era abassibwamu ekitiibwa, ne mbalonda okubeeranga abakulembeze bammwe; okubanga abafuzi b’enkumi, n’abalala ab’ebikumi, n’abalala ab’amakumi ataano, n’abalala ab’ekkumi, mu bika byammwe byonna.

Pea ne u fili mai ʻae houʻeiki ʻo homou ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae kau tangata poto, pea ongoongo, ʻo fakanofo ʻakinautolu ke puleʻi ʻakimoutolu, ko e kau pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi toko nimangofulu, mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi toko hongofulu, mo e kau matāpule ʻi homou ngaahi faʻahinga.

16 Mu biro ebyo ne nkuutira abaabalamulanga nti, ‘Muwulirizenga ensonga ezinaabaleeterwanga abooluganda, era musalengawo mu bwenkanya wakati w’owooluganda ne munne, era ne wakati we ne munnaggwanga gw’abeera naye.

“Pea ne u fekau ki hoʻomou kau fakamaau ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Mou fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻa homou ngaahi kāinga, pea fakamaau māʻoniʻoni ki he tangata kotoa pē mo hono tokoua, pea mo e muli ʻoku ʻiate ia.

17 Musalenga emisango awatali kyekubiira; abagagga n’abaavu nga mubawuliriza kyenkanyi. Endabika y’omuntu tebatiisanga, kubanga Katonda y’asala emisango gyonna. Bwe wabangawo omusango gwonna omukakanyavu muguleetanga gye ndi, nze nnaaguwuliranga.’

‌ʻOua naʻa mou filifilimānako ki he kakai ʻi he fakamaau; ka te mou fanongo ki he siʻi pea mo e lahi; ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē ki he mata ʻoe tangata; he ʻoku ʻae ʻOtua ʻae fakamaau: pea ko e meʻa ʻoku faingataʻa kiate kimoutolu, ʻomi ia kiate au, pea te u fanongo ki ai.’

18 Mu biro ebyo ne mbakuutira ebintu byonna bye musaanira okukolanga.”

Pea ne u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke mou fai.

19 Awo ne tusitula okuva e Kolebu, ne tuyita mu ddungu eddene ery’entiisa mwenna lye mwalaba, ne tukwata ekkubo eryatutwala mu nsi ey’ensozi ey’Abamoli, nga Mukama Katonda waffe bwe yatulagira; ne tulyoka tutuuka e Kadesubanea.

“Pea ʻi heʻetau hiki mei Holepi, naʻa tau ʻalu ai pe ʻi he fuʻu toafa lahi ko ia mo fakamanavahē, ʻaia naʻa mou mamata ʻi he hala ʻoe moʻunga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu; pea naʻa tau hoko ki Ketesi-pania.

20 Ne mbagamba nti, “Mutuuse mu nsi ey’ensozi ey’Abamoli, Mukama Katonda waffe gy’atuwadde.

Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, Kuo mou hoko ki he moʻunga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu.

21 Laba, Mukama Katonda wo akuwadde ensi. Kale, yambuka ogyetwalire nga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabo bwe yakugamba. Totya, so toggwaamu maanyi.”

Vakai, kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fonua ʻi ho ʻao: ʻalu hake ʻo maʻu ia, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai kiate koe; ʻoua naʻa manavahē, pe loto vaivai.

22 Awo mwenna ne mujja gye ndi, ne muŋŋamba nti, “Kirungi tutume abantu basooke okutuukako eyo gye tulaga, bakebere ensi bagyetegereze nga bw’eri; balyoke bakomewo batutegeeze ekkubo lye tusaanira okukwata, n’ebibuga bye tunaggukako.”

“Pea naʻa mou ʻunuʻunu mai kotoa pē kiate au ʻo mou pehē, Te mau fekau ʻae kau tangata ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimautolu, kenau asiasi ʻae fonua, pea toe fakahā mai ʻae hala ʻoku totonu ke mau ʻalu hake ai, pea ko e kolo fē ia te mau hoko ki ai.

23 Ekirowoozo ekyo kyandabikira nga kirungi, ne nkisiima; ne nnonda mu mmwe abasajja kkumi na babiri; nga mu buli kika muvaamu omusajja omu omu.

Pea ne u fiemālie lahi ʻi he lea ko ia pea ne u fili ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo tautau tokotaha ʻi he faʻahinga.

24 Baasitula ne bambuka mu nsi eyo ey’ensozi, ne batuuka mu kiwonvu Esukoli, ne bakiketta.

Pea naʻa nau afe ʻo ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga, pea ne nau hifo ki he potu tafangafanga ʻo ʻEsikoli, ʻonau vakai foli ia.

25 Ne banoga ku bibala eby’omu nsi omwo ne babituleetera; ne batutegeeza bwe bati nti, “Ensi Mukama Katonda waffe gy’atuwadde nnungi nnyo.

Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae fua ʻoe fonua ʻi honau nima, ʻonau ʻomi ia kiate kitautolu, ʻonau ʻomi mo e lea kiate kitautolu, ʻo pehē, Ko e fonua lelei ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu.

26 “Naye ate ne mutayambuka, ne mujeemera ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda wammwe.

Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fie ʻalu hake ki ai, pea ne mou fai talangataʻa ki he fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua:

27 Ne mwemulugunyiriza mu weema zammwe nga mugamba nti, ‘Olwokubanga Mukama tatwagala, yatukyawa, kyeyava atuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri alyoke atuweeyo mu mukono gw’Abamoli batuzikirize.

Pea naʻa mou lāunga, ʻi homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa ʻi he fehiʻa ʻa Sihova kiate kitautolu, ko ia kuo ne ʻomi ai ʻakitautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke tukuange ʻakitautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ke fakaʻauha ʻakitautolu.

28 Wa eyo gye tunaayambuka? Ebigambo bya baganda baffe abaagenda okuketta biyongobezza emitima gyaffe, bwe bagambye nti, Abantu abali eri banene, era bawanvu okutusinga ffe; ebibuga byayo binene nnyo, n’ebigo byabyo biwanvu bituukira ddala waggulu mu bire. Ate ne batabani ba Anaki nabo twabalabayo.’”

Te tau ʻalu hake ki fē? Kuo fakavaivaiʻi homau loto ʻe homau ngaahi kāinga, ʻo pehē, ʻOku lahi hake mo lōloa ʻae kakai ʻiate kimautolu; ʻoku lahi ʻae ngaahi kolo pea ʻoku hoko hake ki he langi honau ʻā; kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻemau mamata ʻi ai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau ʻAnaki.

29 Naye ne mbaddamu nti, “Temutekemuka mitima, so temubatya.

Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou lilika, pea ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē kiate kinautolu.

30 Mukama Katonda wammwe bulijjo abakulembera, ye yennyini agenda kubalwaniriranga, nga bwe yabalwanirira mu Misiri nga mulabira ddala n’amaaso gammwe.

Ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻe tau ia maʻamoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi ʻIsipite maʻamoutolu ʻi homou ʻao:

31 Era ne mu ddungu walabira ddala nga Mukama Katonda wo bwe yakusitula, nga kitaawe w’omwana bw’asitula mutabani we, n’akuyisa mu lugendo lwonna n’okukutuusa n’akutuusa mu kifo kino.”

Pea ʻi he toafa, ʻaia naʻa ke mamata ai ki he fua ko e ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e fua ʻe he tangata hono foha, ʻi he hala kotoa pē naʻa mou ʻalu ai, kaeʻoua ke mou hoko ki he potu ni.

32 Newaakubadde ng’ebyo byonna byali bwe bityo, Mukama Katonda wammwe temwamwesiga,

Ka ʻi he meʻa ni naʻe ʻikai te mou tui kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua,

33 songa ye, yabakulemberanga mu lugendo lwammwe lwonna, n’empagi ey’omuliro ekiro, n’ekire mu budde obw’emisana, n’okubalaganga ekifo we munaasiisiranga.

‌ʻAia naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he hala ʻiate kimoutolu, ke kumi ʻae potu ke fokotuʻu ai homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻi he afi ʻi he poʻuli, ke fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae hala ko ia te mou ʻalu ai, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻi he ʻaho.

34 Mukama bwe yawulira ebigambo byammwe n’asunguwala nnyo, n’alayira nti,

Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi lea, pea naʻe houhau ia, pea ne fuakava, ʻo pehē,

35 “Tewalibaawo n’omu ku bantu bano, ab’omulembe guno omubi, aliraba ku nsi eyo ennungi gye nalayirira okuwa bajjajjammwe,

Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoe kau tangata ʻoe toʻutangata kovi ni te ne mamata ki he fonua lelei ko ia, ʻaia ne u fuakava ke foaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai,

36 okuggyako Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune. Ye agenda kugiraba, era ndimugabira, awamu n’ezzadde lye, ensi gye yalinnyako ekigere kye; kubanga yagondera Mukama n’omutima gwe gwonna.”

Ka ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune: ʻe mamata ia ki ai, pea te u foaki kiate ia, ʻae fonua kuo ne tuʻu ki ai, pea ki heʻene fānau ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene muimui angatonu kia Sihova.

37 Nange Mukama yansunguwalira ku lwammwe, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Naawe toliyingira mu nsi omwo.

Pea naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kiate au foki koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, Ko koe foki ʻe ʻikai te ke hoko ki ai.

38 Wabula omuweereza wo Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ye aligiyingiramu. Mumuwagire, kubanga ye alikulembera abaana ba Isirayiri ne basikira ensi eyo.

Ka ko Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai: ke ke tokoni kiate ia: he te ne pule ke maʻu ia ʻe ʻIsileli.

39 Abaana bammwe abato be mwatiisanga nti bagenda kuwambibwa batwalibwe mu busibe, abaana bammwe abo, abaali batannayawulamu kirungi na kibi, be baliyingira mu nsi eyo. Ndigibawa, ne bagyetwalira ne bagyefunira.

Ka ko hoʻomou ngaahi fānau iiki ʻakinautolu ne mou pehē ʻe hoko ʻo moʻua, mo hoʻomou ngaahi fānau, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae lelei mo e kovi, tenau hoko ki ai, pea te u foaki ia kiate kinautolu, pea tenau maʻu ia.

40 Naye mmwe, musitule mukyuke, mukwate olugendo olw’omu ddungu nga mwolekera Ennyanja Emyufu.”

Ka ko kimoutolu, mou tafoki, pea hiki homou fononga ki he toafa ʻi he hala ʻoe Tahi Kulokula.

41 Ne mulyoka munziramu nti, “Twonoonye eri Mukama. Tujja kwambuka tulwane nga Mukama Katonda waffe bwe yatulagira.” Awo buli musajja ne yeesiba ebyokulwanyisa bye eby’olutalo, nga mulowooza nti kyangu okwambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi.

Pea naʻa mou lea ʻo pehē kiate au, Kuo mau fai angahala kia Sihova; te mau ʻalu hake ʻo tau, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fekau ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtua kiate kimautolu. Pea hili hoʻomou nonoʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene mahafutau kiate ia, naʻa mou teu pe ke ʻalu ki moʻunga.

42 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Bategeeze nti, ‘Temwambuka kulwana, kubanga sijja kubeera nammwe. Abalabe bammwe bajja kubawangula.’”

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, Tala kiate kinautolu, ʻOua naʻa ʻalu hake, pea ʻoua naʻa tau; he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiate kimoutolu; telia naʻa teʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi fili.

43 Bwe ntyo ne mbagamba, naye ne mutawuliriza, ne mujeemera ekiragiro kya Mukama, ne mujjula amalala ne mwambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi.

“Pea ne u lea kiate kimoutolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te mou tui ki ai, ka naʻa mou angatuʻu ki he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻo ʻalu hake loto fielahi pe ki he moʻunga.

44 Awo Abamoli abaabeeranga mu nsi eyo ey’ensozi, ne bavaayo ne babalumba, ne babagoba ng’enjuki bwe zikola, ne babakubira mu Seyiri n’okubatuusiza ddala e Koluma.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he moʻunga ko homou tali, pea naʻa nau tuli ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he fanga pi, pea naʻe teʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻi Seia, ʻo aʻu ki Hoama.

45 Ne mukomawo, ne mukaabira mu maaso ga Mukama, naye Mukama n’atabawuliriza era ne bye mwamukaabirira n’atabibawa.

Pea ne mou foki ʻo tangi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Sihova ki homou leʻo, pe fakaongo kiate kimoutolu.

46 Bwe mutyo ne musigala e Kadesi, okumala ebbanga eryo lyonna lye mwabeera eyo.

Ko ia naʻa mou nofo ai ʻi Ketesi ʻo ʻaho lahi, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho naʻa mou nofo ʻi ai.
