Okubala 10
1 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Weesa mu ffeeza amakondeere abiri ogakozesenga okuyitanga abantu bonna okukuŋŋaana, era n’okubalagira okuggyawo ensiisira zaabwe.
Make two silver horns of hammered work, to be used for getting the people together and to give the sign for the moving of the tents.
3 Amakondeere gombi bwe ganaafuuyibwanga, ekibiina ky’abantu bonna banaakuŋŋaaniranga w’oli ku mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
When they are sounded, all the people are to come together to you at the door of the Tent of meeting.
4 Naye bwe banaafuuwangako erimu, olwo abakulembeze, be bakulu b’ebika bya Isirayiri, be banaakuŋŋaaniranga w’oli.
If only one of them is sounded, then the chiefs, the heads of the thousands of Israel, are to come to you.
5 Amakondeere ag’omwanguka bwe ganaafuuyibwanga, ebika ebinaabanga bisiisidde ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba binaasitulanga okutambula.
When a loud note is sounded, the tents placed on the east side are to go forward.
6 Ate bwe banaafuuwanga ag’omwanguka omulundi ogwokubiri, ensiisira ezinaabanga mu bukiikaddyo, zinaasitulanga okutambula. Amakondeere ag’omwanguka ke kanaabanga akabonero akanaabategeezanga nti basitule batambule.
At the sound of a second loud note, the tents on the south side are to go forward: the loud note will be the sign to go forward.
7 Naye bwe kineetaagisanga okukuba olukuŋŋaana, onoofuuwanga amakondeere naye tegaabenga ga mwanguka.
But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.
8 “Abaana ba Alooni, bakabona, be banaafuuwanga amakondeere. Lino linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira mu mmwe ne mu mirembe egigenda okujja.
The horns are to be sounded by the sons of Aaron, the priests; this is to be a law for you for ever, from generation to generation.
9 Bwe munaagendanga okutabaala omulabe abajoogerereza mu nsi yammwe, mufuuwanga amakondeere ag’omwanguka. Bwe mutyo munajjukirwanga Mukama Katonda, era anaabawonyanga abalabe bammwe.
And if you go to war in your land against any who do you wrong, then let the loud note of the horn be sounded; and the Lord your God will keep you in mind and give you salvation from those who are against you.
10 Mu biseera eby’essanyu, ne ku mbaga zammwe entongole ne ku mbaga z’omwezi ogwakaboneka, munaafuuwanga amakondeere nga bwe muwaayo ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo byammwe olw’emirembe, era binaabanga bijjukizo byammwe awali Katonda wammwe. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.”
And on days of joy and on your regular feasts and on the first day of every month, let the horns be sounded over your burned offerings and your peace-offerings; and they will put the Lord in mind of you: I am the Lord your God.
11 Awo olwatuuka ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu mwezi ogwokubiri mu mwaka ogwokubiri, ekire ne kisitulibwa okuva waggulu wa Weema ey’Endagaano.
Now in the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the cloud was taken up from over the Tent of witness.
12 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne basitula ne batambula okuva mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi, oluvannyuma ekire ne kiyimirira mu Ddungu lya Palani.
And the children of Israel went on their journey out of the waste land of Sinai; and the cloud came to rest in the waste land of Paran.
13 Ogwo gwe gwali omulundi omubereberye okusitula okutambula nga bagendera ku kiragiro kya Mukama Katonda kye yayisa mu Musa.
They went forward for the first time on their journey as the Lord had given orders by the hand of Moses.
14 Olusiisira lw’abaana ba Yuda lwe lwasooka okusitula okutambula, nga bakulemberwa ebendera yaabwe; Nakusoni mutabani wa Amminadaabu nga ye muduumizi waabwe.
First the flag of the children of Judah went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.
15 Nesaneri mutabani wa Zuwaali ye yaduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Isakaali,
And at the head of the army of the children of Issachar was Nethanel, the son of Zuar.
16 ne Eriyaabu mutabani wa Keroni n’aduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Zebbulooni.
And at the head of the army of the children of Zebulun was Eliab, the son of Helon.
17 Eweema ya Mukama n’esimbulwa, batabani ba Gerusoni ne batabani ba Merali abaagyetikkanga ne basitula ne batambula.
Then the House was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were responsible for moving the House, went forward.
18 Ebibinja by’omu lusiisira lwa Lewubeeni bye byaddako okusitula okutambula awamu n’ebendera yaabyo, nga biduumirwa Erizuuli mutabani wa Sedewuli.
Then the flag of the children of Reuben went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elizur, the son of Shedeur.
19 Serumiyeeri mutabani wa Zulisadaayi ye yaduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Simyoni,
And at the head of the army of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.
20 ne Eriyasaafu mutabani wa Deweri n’aduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Gaadi.
At the head of the army of the children of Gad was Eliasaph, the son of Reuel.
21 Abakokasi ne basitula okutambula nga beetisse ebintu ebitukuvu. Eweema ya Mukama ng’emala kusimbibwa, nabo ne balyoka batuuka.
Then the Kohathites went forward with the holy place; the others put up the House ready for their coming.
22 Ebibinja by’omu lusiisira lwa Efulayimu bye byaddirira okusitula okutambula awamu n’ebendera yaabyo; Erisaama mutabani wa Ammikudi nga ye muduumizi waabyo.
Then the flag of the children of Ephraim went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elishama, the son of Ammihud.
23 Gamalyeri mutabani wa Pidazuuli ye yaduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Manase;
At the head of the army of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.
24 ne Abidaani mutabani wa Gidyoni n’aduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Benyamini.
At the head of the army of the children of Benjamin was Abidan, the son of Gideoni.
25 Ku nkomerero ya byonna, ebibinja by’omu lusiisira lwa Ddaani, nga bye bikuuma emabega, ne bisitula okutambula n’ebendera yaabyo nga bikoobedde ensiisira zonna; Akiyezeeri mutabani wa Amisadaayi nga ye muduumizi waabyo.
And the flag of the children of Dan, whose tents were moved last of all, went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.
26 Pagiyeeri mutabani wa Okulaani ye yaduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Aseri;
At the head of the army of the children of Asher was Pagiel, the son of Ochran.
27 ne Akira mutabani wa Enani n’aduumira ekibinja ky’ekika kya Nafutaali.
And at the head of the army of the children of Naphtali was Ahira, the son of Enan.
28 Eyo ye yali entegeka ey’abaana ba Isirayiri ng’ebibinja byabwe bwe byali nga basitula okutambula.
This was the order in which the children of Israel were journeying by armies; so they went forward.
29 Awo Musa n’agamba mukoddomi we Kobabu mutabani wa Leweri Omumidiyaani nti, “Tusitula okutambula okugenda mu kifo Mukama kye yatugamba nti, ‘Ndikibawa.’ Kale nno, jjangu tugende ffenna tulikuyisa bulungi, kubanga Mukama yasuubiza Isirayiri ebintu ebirungi.”
Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.
30 Naye n’addamu nti, “Nedda, sijja kugenda nammwe, nzirayo mu nsi ye waffe era mu bantu bange.”
But he said, I will not go with you, I will go back to the land of my birth and to my relations.
31 Naye Musa n’amugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde totuleka. Ggwe omanyi obulungi eddungu gye tusaanye okukuba olusiisira lwaffe, ggwe ojja okubeera amaaso gaffe.
And he said, Do not go from us; for you will be eyes for us, guiding us to the right places in the waste land to put up our tents.
32 Singa ojja ne tugenda ffenna, tunaagabaniranga wamu buli kirungi kyonna Mukama ky’anaatuwanga.”
And if you come with us, we will give you a part in whatever good the Lord does for us.
33 Awo ne basitula okuva ku lusozi lwa Mukama Katonda ne batambulira ennaku ssatu. Essanduuko ya Mukama ey’Endagaano n’ebakulemberanga okumala ennaku ezo essatu ng’ebanoonyeza ekifo eky’okuwummuliramu.
So they went forward three days' journey from the mountain of the Lord; and the ark of the Lord's agreement went three days' journey before them, looking for a resting-place for them;
34 Buli lwe baasitulanga okutambula nga bava mu lusiisira, ekire kya Mukama Katonda kyabeeranga waggulu waabwe buli budde bwa misana.
And by day the cloud of the Lord went over them, when they went forward from the place where they had put up their tents.
35 Buli abeetissi b’Essanduuko ya Mukama Katonda lwe baasitulanga okutambula, Musa n’agamba nti, “Golokoka, Ayi Mukama! Abalabe bo basaasaane; amaggye agakulwanyisa gakudduke.”
And when the ark went forward Moses said, Come up, O Lord, and let the armies of those who are against you be broken, and let your haters go in flight before you.
36 Buli Ssanduuko ya Mukama Katonda lwe yawummuzibwanga, Musa n’agamba nti, “Komawo, Ayi Mukama, eri enkumi n’enkumi eza Isirayiri.”
And when it came to rest, he said, Take rest, O Lord, and give a blessing to the families of Israel.
