Okubala 33

1 Bino bye bitundu by’olugendo lw’abaana ba Isirayiri olwabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri mu bibinja byabwe, nga bakulemberwa Musa ne Alooni.

Here is a list of the places where the/we Israelis went as Aaron and Moses/I led them/us after they/we left Egypt.

2 Musa yawandiika buli kitundu ky’olugendo we kyatandikiranga, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira. Bino bye bitundu ebyo:

Yahweh commanded Moses/me to write down the names of the places where they/we went.

3 Abaana ba Isirayiri baasitula okuva e Lamesesi ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ettaano olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye, nga lwe lunaku oluddirira Embaga ey’Okuyitako. Baasitula n’obuvumu awatali kutya, nga beeyagala, ng’Abamisiri bonna babalaba bulungi;

On the fifteenth day of the first month [of the year], the day after we celebrated the (Passover/the time when Yahweh killed all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt), they/we left Rameses [city in Egypt] and marched boldly while the Egyptian army was coming behind them/us.

4 ng’Abamisiri bwe baziika abaana baabwe ababereberye Mukama be yali abasseemu; kubanga Mukama Katonda yali asalidde bakatonda b’Abamisiri omusango okubasinga.

As they/we left, the people of Egypt were still burying the bodies of their firstborn sons. [By killing them], Yahweh showed that the gods that the people of Egypt worshiped were false gods.

Aaron, the priest, obeyed Yahweh and climbed up the mountain. There he died, on the first day of their/our fifth month, 40 years after the/we Israelis left Egypt.

39 Alooni yali yakamaze emyaka egy’obukulu kikumi mu abiri mu esatu bwe yafiira ku Lusozi Koola.

Aaron was 123 years old when he died.

40 Kabaka Omukanani ow’e Yaladi eyatuulanga mu bukiikaddyo obwa Kanani, n’awulira ng’abaana ba Isirayiri bajja.

(That was when the king of Arad [city] heard that the/we Israelis were coming. Arad was in the southern part of Canaan, where the Canaan people-group lived.)

50 Awo Mukama Katonda n’ayogera ne Musa mu nsenyi za Mowaabu ku mugga Yoludaani okwolekera Yeriko n’amugamba nti,

While we were there on the plains of the Moab [region] near the Jordan [River], across from Jericho, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me. He said,

51 “Yogera n’abaana ba Isirayiri obagambe nti, Bwe musomokanga omugga Yoludaani ne muyingira mu nsi ya Kanani;

“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],

52 mugobangamu abatuuze baamu bonna abagirimu kaakano. Muzikirizanga ebifaananyi byabwe byonna ebibajje n’ebiweese byonna; era musaanyangawo ebifo byabwe ebigulumivu mwe basinziza.

you must force all the people who live there to leave. Destroy all their carved statues and all their idols made of metal. Wreck all the places where they worship [their idols].

53 Ensi eyo muligyetwalira, ne mugituulamu, kubanga ensi eyo ngibawadde okubeera eyammwe ey’obwanannyini.

Take their land from them and start to live there, because I have given their land to you for you to own.

54 Ensi mugigabananga nga mukuba akalulu ng’ebika byammwe bwe biri. Ekika ekinene kifunanga ekitundu eky’obutaka bwakyo kinene, n’ekika ekitono kinaafunanga ekitundu kitono. Buli kye banaafunanga ng’akalulu bwe kanaagambanga ng’ekyo kye kyabwe. Ensi mugigabananga ng’ebitundu by’ebika byammwe eby’ennono eby’obujjajja bwe biri.

“Divide up the land by throwing (lots/small stones which have been marked) [to decide which group will get which area]. Give the larger areas to the groups that have more people, and give the smaller areas to the groups that have fewer people. Each tribe will receive its own land.

55 “Naye abatuuze ab’omu nsi omwo bwe mutalibagobamu bonna, kale, abo abalisigalamu bagenda kubafuukira enkato mu mmunye zammwe era babeere maggwa mu mbiriizi zammwe. Balibateganya mu nsi omwo mwe munaabeeranga.

If you do not force the people who live there to leave, they will cause you to have much trouble. They will be like sharp hooks in your eyes, and like thorns in your sides. And they will bring trouble to you, in that land where you will be living.

56 Olwo bye ntegeka okukola bali, ndibikola mmwe.”

And then I will punish you, as I had planned to punish them.”
