Balam 18

1 Mu biro ebyo Isirayiri teyalina kabaka. Era mu biro ebyo ekika ky’Abadaani baali banoonya ekifo aw’okubeera kubanga mu bika bya Isirayiri baali tebafunanga kifo kya kubeeramu ng’omugabo gwabwe.

‌ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe kumi ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo Tani hanau tofiʻa kenau nofo ai; koeʻuhi naʻe teʻeki ai ke tō honau tofiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ko ia.

2 Kyebaava batuma abaana ba Ddaani bataano, abasajja abalwanyi, okuva mu kika kyabwe kyonna, okuva mu Zola ne mu Esutaoli, bagende bakette ensi. Ne babagamba nti, “Mugende mukebere ensi.” Ne batuuka mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu mu nnyumba ya Mikka ne basula eyo.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he fānau ʻa Tani ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima ʻi honau faʻahinga mei honau fonua, ʻae kau tangata toʻa, mei Sola pea mei Esitaoli, kenau vakai ʻae fonua, pea ke malakiʻi ia; pea naʻa nau pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻAlu, pea matakiʻi ʻae fonua: pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ki he fale ʻo Maika, naʻa nau mohe ʻi ai.

3 Bwe baali eyo okumpi n’ennyumba ya Mikka ne beetegereza eddoboozi ly’omuvubuka Omuleevi, ne bakyama ne bamubuuza nti, “Ani eyakuleeta wano? Era okola ki wano? Era lwaki oli wano?”

Pea ʻi heʻenau ofi ki he fale ʻo Maika, naʻa nau ʻilo ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangata talavou ko e Livai: pea naʻa nau afe ki ai, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko hai naʻa ne ʻomi koe ki heni? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ʻi heni?”

4 N’abategeeza Mikka bye yamukolera, n’abagamba nti, “Yampangisa era ndi kabona we.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē pē, mo pehē pe ʻe Maika kiate au, pea kuo ne nō au kiate ia ʻaki ʻae totongi, pea ko hono taulaʻeiki au.”

5 Ne bamugamba nti, “Tukwegayiridde, kaakano weebuuze ku Katonda, obanga olugendo lwe tugenda luliba n’omukisa.”

Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke kole ki he ʻOtua ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke mau ʻilo pē ʻe monūʻia homau hala ʻaia ʻoku mau ʻalu ai.”

6 Awo kabona n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende mirembe, kubanga Mukama Katonda asiimye mugende ku lugendo lwammwe.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Mou ʻalu fiemālie pē: ʻoku ʻafio ʻe Sihova ʻa homou hala ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ai.”

7 Awo abasajja abataano ne bava awo, ne batuuka e Layisi, ne balaba ng’abantu baayo bali mirembe ng’Abasidoni bwe baali. Baali bakkakkamu, nga balina buli kye beetaaga mu nsi, era nga beesudde akabanga n’Abasidoni, nga tewali muntu n’omu gwe bakolagana naye.

Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima ʻonau hoko ki Leisi, ʻo mamata ki he kakai naʻe ʻi ai, mo ʻenau nofo noa ai pe, ʻo hangē ko e kau Saitoni, ʻo fakafiemālie pe mo hamumunoa; pea naʻe ʻikai ha fakamaau ʻi he fonua ke fakamā ʻakinautolu ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha; pea naʻa nau mamaʻo mei he kau Saitoni; pea naʻe ʻikai tenau feongoongoi mo ha kakai.

8 Awo abakessi bwe baddayo eri baganda baabwe e Zola n’e Esutaoli, baganda baabwe ne bababuuza nti, “Bigenze bitya?”

Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki honau kāinga ki Sola mo Esitaoli: pea pehē ʻe honau kāinga kiate kinautolu, Ko e hā hoʻomou lea?

9 Ne baddamu nti, “Mugolokoke, tubalumbe. Tulabye ensi, era laba, nga nnungi nnyo. Temuyinza butagenda. Temulwa, tugende tulye ensi.

Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Tuʻu hake koeʻuhi ke tau ʻalu hake kiate kinautolu: he kuo mau mamata ki he fonua, pea vakai, ʻoku lelei ʻaupito ia: pea ʻoku mou taʻengāue? ʻOua naʻa mou fakapikopiko ke ʻalu, pea ke hoko atu pea maʻu ʻae fonua.

10 Bwe mulituuka eyo muliraba abantu abakkakkamu ababeera mu nsi engazi, Katonda gy’atadde mu mukono gwammwe, era nsi erimu buli kintu omuntu kye yeetaaga.”

Ka mou ka ʻalu, te mou hoko ki he kakai ʻoku nofo noa pē, pea ki he fonua lahi: he kuo foaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua ki homou nima; ko e potu ʻoku ʻikai masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ʻi māmani.”

11 Awo ekika ky’Abadaani ne basitula okuva e Zola n’e Esutaoli, abasajja lukaaga nga balina ebyokulwanyisa.

Pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ʻi he fānau ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Tani, mei Sola pea mei Esitaoli, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau naʻe toʻo mahafutau.

12 Ne bagenda ne basiisira okumpi ne Kiriyasuyalimu mu Yuda. Ekifo ekyo ne bakituuma Makanedani era kye kiyitibwa n’okutuusa leero.

Pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Keasa-Sialimi, ʻi Siuta: ko ia naʻa nau ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Mahaneani ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: vakai, ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻituʻa Keasa-Sialimi.

13 Ne bava awo ne balaga mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu ne batuuka ku nnyumba ya Mikka.

Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei ai ki he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻo hoko atu ki he fale ʻo Maika.

14 Abasajja abataano abaagenda okuketta ensi ya Layisi ne bagamba baganda baabwe nti, “Mumanyi nga mu nnyumba zino mulimu Efodi n’ebifaananyi ebyole n’ekifaananyi ekisaanuuse? Kale nno mukole kye mugwanira okukola.”

Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima naʻe ʻalu ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua ko Leisi, ʻonau pehē ki honau kāinga, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi fale ni ʻae ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e fakatātā kuo haka? Pea ko eni mou fakakaukau pe ko e hā te mou fai.”

15 Ne bakyama ne bagenda mu nnyumba y’omuvubuka Omuleevi eyali ewa Mikka ne bamulamusa.

Pea naʻa nau afe ki ai, pea hoko ki fale ʻoe talavou ko e Livai, ʻio, ki he fale ʻo Maika ʻonau fetapa kiate ia.

16 Abasajja olukaaga nga balina ebyokulwanyisa byabwe ne bayimirira ku mulyango.

Pea ko e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau naʻe toʻo mahafutau ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻa Tani, naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā.

17 Awo abasajja abataano abaagenda okuketta ne bayingira ne baggyamu ekifaananyi ekyole, ne Efodi, ne balubaale abaali mu nnyumba n’ekifaananyi ekisaanuuse, nga kabona n’abasajja olukaaga nga balina ebyokulwanyisa byabwe bayimiridde ku mulyango.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻo hū ki ai, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima, naʻe ʻalu ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua, ʻo [nau ]toʻo ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e fakatātā kuo haka; pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā fakataha mo e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau ʻaia naʻe toʻo mahafutau.

18 Abasajja bwe bayingira mu nnyumba ya Mikka okuggyamu ekifaananyi ekyole, ne Efodi, ne balubaale abaali mu nnyumba n’ekifaananyi ekisaanuuse, kabona n’ababuuza nti, “Mukola ki?”

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻakinautolu ki he fale ʻo Maika, pea ʻomi mei ai ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā, mo e ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e fakatātā kuo haka. Pea pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fai?”

19 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Sirika tonyega. Jjangu naffe obeere kitaffe era kabona waffe. Kiki ekisinga, ggwe okuba kabona w’ennyumba y’omuntu omu, oba okuba kabona w’ekika kya Isirayiri?”

Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke longo pē koe; ʻai ho nima ki ho ngutu, pea ke haʻu ke tau ō, pea ke hoko kiate kimautolu ko e tamai mo e taulaʻeiki: he ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke nofo ko e taulaʻeiki ki he fale ʻoe tangata pē taha, pe ko hoʻo hoko ko e taulaʻeiki ki he faʻahinga mo e fale ʻo ʻIsileli?”

20 Kabona n’asanyuka, n’atwala Efodi ne balubaale abaali mu nnyumba n’ekifaananyi ekyole n’agenda nabo.

Pea naʻe fiefia ʻae loto ʻoe taulaʻeiki, pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e meʻa fakatātā kuo tā, pea ʻalu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai.

21 Ne babaako we bakyama ne balekayo abaana baabwe abato n’ebisolo byabwe n’ebintu byabwe. Ne bagenda mu maaso.

Ko ia naʻa nau tafoki ʻo ʻalu ai, pea naʻe fakaheka ʻae fānau siʻi ki he ngaahi saliote mo e fanga manu ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu.

22 Bwe batambulako akabanga okuva ku nnyumba ya Mikka, abasajja abaabeeranga mu nnyumba eziriraanye ennyumba ya Mikka ne bakuŋŋaana ne bawondera abaana ba Ddaani.

Pea ʻi heʻenau mamaʻo atu mei he fale ʻo Maika, naʻe kātoa ʻae kau tangata naʻe ʻi he ngaahi fale ofi ki he fale ʻo Maika, ʻonau tuli ʻo hoko atu ki he fānau ʻa Tani.

23 Bwe baali babakoowoola, abaana ba Ddaani ne bakyuka ne batunuulira Mikka ne bamubuuza nti, “Mutukoowoolera ki?”

Pea naʻa nau tangi ki he fānau ʻa Tani. Pea naʻa nau tangaki kimui, ʻo pehē kia Maika, “Ko e hā ʻaʻau, ʻoku ke haʻu ai mo e kakai pehē?”

24 N’abaddamu nti, “Mututte balubaale bange be neekolera, ne kabona. Kiki kye nsigazza? Muyinza mutya okumbuuza kye mbadde?”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo mou toʻo ʻo ʻave hoku ngaahi ʻotua naʻaku ngaohi, pea mo e taulaʻeiki, pea kuo mou ʻalu: pea ko e hā ʻoku toe ʻiate au? Pea ko e hā ia ʻoku mou lea ai kiate au, ‘Ko e hā ʻa au?’”

25 Abaana ba Ddaani ne bamuddamu nti, “Sitwagala kuwulira ddoboozi lyo, si kulwa ng’abasajja abakambwe abali mu ffe bakulumba n’ofiirwa obulamu bwo n’obw’abo ab’omu nnyumba yo.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Tani kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ongona ho leʻo ʻiate kimautolu telia naʻa ʻoho atu kiate koe ʻae kau siana loto ʻita, pea ʻe mole ʻiate koe hoʻo moʻui, fakataha mo e moʻui ʻa ho kau nofoʻanga.”

26 Awo abaana ba Ddaani ne beetambulira. Awo Mikka bwe yalaba nga bamuyinze amaanyi, n’akyuka n’addayo ewuwe.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Tani ʻi honau hala: pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Maika ki heʻenau fai mālohi lahi kiate ia, naʻe tafoki ia ʻo ʻalu ki hono fale.

27 Ne batwala ebintu Mikka bye yali akoze, ne kabona gwe yalina, ne batuuka e Layisi omwali abantu abakkakkamu abatamanyiridde, ne bakilumba ne batta abantu baamu n’ekitala, n’ekibuga ne bakikumako omuliro.

Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ngaohi ʻe Maika, mo e taulaʻeiki naʻa ne maʻu, ʻonau hoko ki Leisi, ki he kakai naʻe nofo fiemālie pe mo hamumunoa: pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea naʻe tutu ʻenau kolo ʻaki ʻae afi.

28 Tewaaliwo eyajja okubataasa kubanga ne Sidoni kyali wala n’ekibuga ekyo, ate nga tebalina nkolagana na muntu yenna. Ekibuga kyali mu kiwonvu ekiriraanye Besulekobu. Abaddaani ne bazimba buto ekibuga ne babeera omwo.

Pea naʻe ʻikai ha fakamoʻui, he naʻe mamaʻo ia mei Saitoni, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau kau mo ha kakai; pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki Pete-Lehopi. Pea naʻa nau langa ʻae kolo ʻo nofo ʻi ai.

29 Ekibuga ne bakikyusa erinnya okuva ku Layisi lye kyayitibwanga olubereberye ne bakituuma Ddaani, ng’erinnya lya Ddaani jjajjaabwe eyazaalibwa Isirayiri bwe lyali.

Pea naʻa nau ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe kolo ko Tani, ʻo hangē ko e hingoa ʻo Tani ko ʻenau tamai, ʻaia naʻe fānau kia ʻIsileli: ka ko e moʻoni naʻe fuofua ui ʻae kolo ko ia ko Leisi.

30 Awo abaana ba Ddaani ne beeterawo ekifaananyi ekyole, ne balonda Yonasaani mutabani wa Gerusomu, muzzukulu wa Musa, ne batabani be okuba bakabona eri ekika ky’Abadaani okutuusa ensi lwe yawambibwa.

Pea naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe he fānau ʻa Tani ʻae tamapua fakatātā: pea ko Sioatani, ko e foha ʻo Kesomi, ko e foha ʻo Manase, ko ia mo hono ngaahi foha naʻe hoko ko e kau taulaʻeiki ki he faʻahinga ʻo Tani ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻoe fakapōpulaʻi ʻae fonua.

31 Ne bassaawo ebifaananyi ebyole Mikka bye yali yeekoledde, ebbanga lyonna ennyumba ya Katonda we yabeerera mu Siiro.

Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu hake ʻae tamapua naʻe tā ʻe Maika, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē naʻe nofo ai ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Sailo.
