Balam 3

1 Waliwo amawanga Mukama gaatazikiriza asobole okuyigiririzaako Abayisirayiri bonna abataamanya ntalo zonna ez’omu Kanani;

Magi e oganda mane Jehova Nyasaye oweyo mondo otem jo-Israel duto mane ok osekalo e lweny moro amora e piny Kanaan.

2 Kino kiyaambe Abayisirayiri ab’omulembe omuggya abatalwanangako okukuguka mu by’entalo.

Mano notimo mana mondo opuonjgo nyikwa jo-Israel lweny, mago mane onge gi lony e kedo.

3 Ge gano: Abakungu abataano ab’Abafirisuuti, Abakanani bonna, Abasidoni, n’Abakiivi abaabeeranga ku lusozi Lebanooni, okuva ku lusozi Baalukerumoni okutuuka awayingirirwa mu Kamasi.

Ogendinigo ne gin: ruodhi abich mag jo-Filistia, jo-Kanaan duto, jo-Sidon, kod jo-Hivi mane odak e gode mag Lebanon kochakore got Baal Hermon nyaka got Lebo Hamath.

4 Era gaalekebwawo okugezesa Abayisirayiri obanga baligondera amateeka ga Mukama ge yalagira bajjajjaabwe ng’ayita mu Musa.

Jehova Nyasaye nowegi mondo otemgo jo-Israel kendo ongʼego ka ginyalo rito chike mane omiyo kweregi kokalo kuom Musa.

5 Abayisirayiri ne babeeranga wamu n’Abakanani, Abakiiti, Abamoli, Abakiivi n’aba Yebusi.

Jo-Israel nodak e kind jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus.

6 Ne bawasanga abawala ab’omu mawanga ago era ne bafumbizanga bawala baabwe eri abalenzi b’omu mawanga ago ne basinzanga ne bakatonda baabwe.

Negikendo nyi ogendinigo bangʼe negichiwo nyigi mondo okend gi yawuot pinjego kendo negilamo nyisechegi.

7 Abayisirayiri ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ne beerabira Mukama Katonda waabwe ne basinzanga Babaali ne Baasera.

Jo-Israel notimo tim mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye; ne wigi owil gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi mi gitiyone Baal kod Ashera.

8 Noolwekyo Mukama n’asunguwalira nnyo Abayisirayiri, kyeyava abawaayo okuwangulwa n’okufugibwa kabaka Kusanurisasaimu ow’e Mesopotamiya okumala emyaka munaana.

Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager nobiro kuom jo-Israel ma nojwangʼogi e lwet jo-Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram-Naharaim, ma jo-Israel nobedo wasumbinigi kuom higni aboro.

9 Naye Abayisirayiri bwe baalaajanira Mukama, kyeyava abawa omulwanyi omuzira okubanunula erinnya lye Osunieri azaalibwa Kenezi muto wa Kalebu.

To kane giywakne Jehova Nyasaye, nochiwonegi jakony, ma en Othniel wuod Kenaz, owadgi Kaleb matin, mane oresogi.

10 Osunieri n’ajjula Omwoyo wa Mukama n’akulembera Abayisirayiri, n’alumba Kusanurisaseyimu kabaka w’e Mesopotamiya era n’amuwangula kubanga Mukama yamuwaayo mu mikono gya Osunieri.

Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome, mi nobedo jangʼad bura mar jo-Israel kendo negidhi e lweny. Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram e lwet Othniel, mane oloye.

11 Awo ne wayitawo emyaka ana ng’Abayisirayiri bali mu mirembe okutuusa ddala Osunieri mutabani wa Kenazi lwe yafa.

Omiyo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero angʼwen; nyaka Othniel wuod Kenaz notho.

12 Ate era Abayisirayiri ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama; kyeyava awa Eguloni kabaka wa Mowaabu amaanyi okubawangula olw’ebibi byabwe.

Jo-Israel nochako timo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo nikech timno, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet Eglon ruodh Moab.

13 Ne yegatta n’Abamoni n’Abamaleki ne balumba Abayisirayiri era ne babawambako ekibuga kyabwe eky’enkindu.

Eglon kaachiel gi jo-Amon kod jo-Amalek, nobiro momonjo jo-Israel, mi gikawo Dala Maduongʼ mar Jeriko.

14 Abayisirayiri ne bafugibwa Egulooni kabaka wa Mowaabu emyaka kkumi na munaana.

Jo-Israel nobedo e bwo loch Eglon ruodh Moab kuom higni apar gaboro.

15 Naye Abayisirayiri bwe baalaajanira Mukama, kyeyava abawa omulwanyi omuzira okubanunula ayitibwa Ekudi ow’enkonokono mutabani wa Gera ow’omu kika kya Benyamini; era oyo Abayisirayiri gwe baatuma okutwala ekirabo kyabwe eri Egulooni kabaka wa Mowaabu.

Jo-Israel nochako oywak ne Jehova Nyasaye mi nomiyogi jakony, Ehud, wuod Gera ja-Benjamin, mane racham. Jo-Israel noore gi chudo ir Eglon ruodh Moab.

16 Ekudi ne yeewesezza ekitala ekirina obwogi erudda n’erudda nga kiweza sentimita ana mu ttaano obuwanvu. N’akyesiba ku kisambi kye ekya ddyo munda mu ngoye ze.

Ehud nothedho pand ligangla ma dhoge ariyo ma borne dirom fut achiel gi nus, mane oliere e bamne korachwich ei lepe.

17 N’atwalira Egulooni kabaka wa Mowaabu ekirabo. Egulooni yali musajja munene nnyo.

Ne ochiwo chudo ne Eglon ruodh Moab, mane ngʼat machwe ahinya.

18 Awo bwe yamala okuwaayo ekirabo, n’agobawo abajja bakyetisse.

Bangʼ ka Ehud nosechiwo chudo, nooro jogo mane okelo chudo mondo odogi.

19 Ekudi n’akoma awaali amayinja amoole kumpi ne Girugaali n’addayo eri Egulooni n’amugamba nti, “Nnina obubaka obw’ekyama gy’oli.” Kabaka n’agobawo bonna be yali nabo era ne bamuviira.

Kane oneno gigo mopa man Gilgal ne olokore en owuon kendo owacho niya, “An kodi gi wach ma lingʼ-lingʼ, yaye ruoth.” Ruoth nowacho niya, “Lingʼ thi!” Kendo joge duto mantie noa moweye.

20 Awo kabaka bwe yali ng’atudde bw’omu mu nnyumba ye, mu kisenge ekya waggulu ekiweweevu, Ekudi n’amusemberera era n’amugamba nti, “Nnina obubaka obuva eri Katonda gy’oli.” Kabaka n’asituka mu ntebe ye.

Eka Ehud nosudo ire kama nobetie kende e agola ma malo mar ode mar yweyo, mane ojabetie ndalo oro mi owacho niya, “Nyasaye oora iri.” Ka Ruoth noa malo e kome,

21 Ekudi n’asowolayo ekitala kye n’omukono ogwa kkono ng’akiggya ku kisambi kye ekya ddyo n’akisogga kabaka mu lubuto;

Ehud norieyo bade koracham, mi owuodho ligangla koa e bamne korachwich kendo ochwoyo ii ruoth.

22 ekitala kyonna n’ekiti kyakyo ne kimubuliramu, amasavu ne gakibuutikira era n’atayinza na kukisowolamu. Ebyenda bya kabaka ne biyiika.

Ligangla nodonjo e iye molal kuno gi loge duto motuch nyaka e dier ngʼeye oko. Ehud ne ok opudho liganglano oko, kendo bor noume.

23 Ekudi n’asibawo oluggi oluyingira mu kisenge ekya waggulu, n’afulumira mu mulyango ogw’emanju.

Eka Ehud nowuok gie otuchi manie wi tado; nochiego dhoudi manie agola mamalo mi olorogi.

24 Bwe yali nga yakafuluma abaweereza ba kabaka ne bajja. Bwe baalaba nga enzigi nsibe ne balowooza nti, “Kabaka ateekwa okuba ng’agenze manju.”

Bangʼ kane osedhi, jotich nobiro kendo oyudo ka dhoudi manie agola mamalo olor. Negiwacho niya, “Nyaka bed ni okonyore e agola ma iye mar ot.”

25 Bwe baakoowa okulindirira ne baddira ekisumuluzo ne basumululawo, baagenda okulaba ng’omulambo gwa mukama waabwe gugudde bugazi mu kisenge.

Negirito ma wigi okuot, to kane ok oyawo dhout agola, negikawo kifungu kendo giyawogi. Kanyo negineno ruodhgi koriere e dier ot, kosetho.

26 Mu kiseera kye baamala nga balindirira kabaka okuggulawo Ekudi mwe yaddukira n’ayita ku mayinja amoole n’atuuka e Seyiri.

Kane pod girito, Ehud noluchore mi owuok odhi. Ne okalo machiegni gi gik mopa mi opondo odhi Seira.

27 Bwe yatuuka mu kitundu eky’ensozi ekya Efulayimu n’akiyitamu nga bw’afuuwa ekkondeere, Abayisirayiri ne bamwegattako ye nga abakulembeddemu.

Kane ochopo kanyo, nogoyo turumbete e piny gode mag Efraim, kendo jo-Israel nolor kode piny koa e got, ka otelonegi.

28 N’abagamba nti, “Mungoberere kubanga Mukama abawadde obuwanguzi ku balabe bammwe Abamowaabu.” Ne bamugoberera ne bawamba ekifo awasomokerwa ekyali kyolekedde aba Mowaabu ku mugga Yoludaani; Abayisirayiri ne bataganya muntu yenna kusomoka.

Nowachonegi niya, “Luwauru, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo Moab, jasiku, e lwetu.” Omiyo ne giluwe kendo negikawo bath aora Jordan mane ochiko yo Moab, maonge ngʼama ne nyalo pondo mondo okadh aora Jordan.

29 Ne batta ku basajja abalwanyi abazira aba Mowaabu mutwalo mulamba; teri n’omu ku bo yasimattuka.

E sechego neginego jo-Moab madirom alufu apar, jogo mongirore kendo maroteke; maonge ngʼama nopondo kata achiel.

30 Bwe batyo Abayisirayiri ne bajeemulula Abamowaabu ku lunaku olwo. Okuva ku olwo ensi n’ebaamu emirembe okumala emyaka kinaana.

Chiengʼno Moab nobedo e bwo loch Israel, kendo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero aboro.

31 Omukulembeze eyaddira Ekudi mu bigere ye Samugali mutabani wa Anasi era naye yanunula Abayisirayiri. Ye wuuyo eyatta abasajja Abafirisuuti lukaaga nga yeeyambisa omuwunda gwe bagobesa ente nga zirima.

Bangʼ Ehud, Shamgar wuod Anath nobiro, en ema ne onego jo-Filistia mia auchiel gi bidhi. En bende noreso jo-Israel.
