Amanani 32
1 AbakoRubheni labakoGadi ababelemihlambi emikhulu yenkomo leyezimvu babona ukuthi amadlelo emangweni weJazeri leGiliyadi ayemahle ezifuyweni.
Batabani ba Lewubeeni ne batabani ba Gaadi baalina amagana g’ente n’ebisibo by’endiga; ebisolo byabwe nga bingi nnyo. Baatunuulira ensi ya Yazeri n’ensi ya Gireyaadi, ne balaba ng’ekitundu ekyo kituufu okulundiramu ebisolo byabwe.
2 Ngakho baya kuMosi laku-Eliyazari umphristi lakubakhokheli babantu, bathi,
Ne bajja awali Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona, n’eri abakulembeze b’ekibiina ne babagamba nti,
3 “Umhlaba we-Atharothi, leDibhoni, leJazeri, leNimra, leHeshibhoni, le-Eliyale, leSebhami, leNebho kanye leBheyoni,
“Ebitundu bino: Atalisi, ne Diboni, ne Yazeri, ne Nimula, ne Kesuboni, ne Ereyale, ne Sebamu, ne Nebo ne Beoni,
4 uThixo awunqoba phambi kwabako-Israyeli, ngumhlaba olungele izifuyo, njalo thina nceku zenu silezifuyo.”
bye bitundu by’ensi Mukama Katonda gye yawangulira mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri, nsi nnungi okulundiramu; ate ng’abaweereza bammwe tulina ebisolo byaffe bingi.”
5 Basebesithi, “Nxa sifumene umusa emehlweni enu, lelilizwe aliphiwe izinceku zenu libe yisabelo sethu. Lingenzi ukuba sichaphe uJodani.”
Ne bagamba nti, “Bwe kuba nga kwe kusiima kwammwe, mukkirize ebitundu by’ensi bino bituweebwe, ffe abaweereza bammwe, bibeere obutaka bwaffe. Temutusomosa Yoludaani.”
6 UMosi wabuza abakoGadi labakoRubheni wathi, “Kambe lingahlala lapha amanye amadoda akini esiya empini na?
Musa n’agamba batabani ba Gaadi ne batabani ba Lewubeeni nti, “Mwagala baganda bammwe bagende batabaale, nga mmwe mwetuulidde wano?
7 Kungani lithelela abako-Israyeli ukwesaba ukuchaphela elizweni abaliphiwa nguThixo na?
Lwaki abaana ba Isirayiri mwagala okubamalamu amaanyi mu mitima gyabwe mubalemese okuyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda gy’abawadde?
8 Yikho lokhu okwenziwa ngoyihlo ekubathumeni kwami besuka eKhadeshi Bhaneya ukuyahlola ilizwe.
Ne bakadde bammwe bwe baakola bwe nabatuma okuva e Kadesubanea okuketta ensi.
9 Bathi sebehambe baze bayafika eSigodini sase-Eshikholi balibona ilizwe, bathelela abako-Israyeli ukwesaba ukungena elizweni abaliphiwa nguThixo.
Kubanga bwe baayambuka mu Kiwonvu ekya Esukoli, ensi ne bagiraba, ne bayeengebula emitima gy’abaana ba Isirayiri baleme okugenda okuyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda gye yali abawadde.
10 Ulaka lukaThixo lwaqubuka ngalolosuku waze wenza lesisifungo.
Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuuka ku lunaku olwo, n’alayira nti,
11 ‘Ngenxa yokuthi abangilandelanga ngezinhliziyo zabo ezipheleleyo, kakho loyedwa emadodeni wonke aleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu okuzalwa kwabavela eGibhithe ozabona ilizwe engalithembisa u-Abhrahama, u-Isaka loJakhobe ngesifungo,
‘Olw’okubanga tebaŋŋondedde n’omutima gwabwe gwonna, tewalibaawo n’omu ku basajja ab’emyaka okuva ku myaka makumi abiri okweyongerayo egy’obukulu, abaasimbuka okuva mu Misiri, aliraba ku nsi gye nalayira okuwa Ibulayimu ne Isaaka ne Yakobo;
12 kakho loyedwa ngaphandle kukaKhalebi indodana kaJefune umKhenizi kanye loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, ngoba laba balandela uThixo ngezinhliziyo ezipheleleyo.’
tewalibaawo n’omu okuggyako Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune Omukenizi, ne Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, kubanga abo baagondera Mukama Katonda n’omutima gwabwe gwonna.’
13 Ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha wabazondela abako-Israyeli njalo wabenza bantula enkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, kwaze kwaphela bonke abentanga yalabo ababonile phambi kukaThixo.
Obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubuubuukira Isirayiri, n’abatambuliza mu ddungu okumala emyaka amakumi ana, okutuusa omulembe gw’abo abaasobya mu maaso ga Mukama lwe gwaggweerera.
14 Khathesi nanku-ke lina, nzalo yezoni, selimi endaweni yaboyihlo libangela ukuthi uThixo athukuthelele abako-Israyeli ngamandla.
“Kale nno mmwe muli bazzukulu baabwe, batabani b’abakozi b’ebibi, nga mwongera okunakuwaza Mukama Katonda anyiigire Isirayiri!
15 Nxa lingala ukumlandela, uThixo uzaphinde atshiye bonke lababantu bakhe enkangala, njalo kuzabe kuyini elibangele incithakalo yabo.”
Kubanga singa mumukuba amabega ne mutakola by’ayagala ne mutamugoberera, abantu be ajja kwongera okubeesammulako, nate abaleke mu ddungu omulundi ogwokubiri, era bwe balizikirira mwe mulibaako obuvunaanyizibwa obwo.”
16 Ngakho beza kuye bathi, “Sifuna ukwakha izibaya zezifuyo zethu njalo sakhele omkethu labantwabethu amadolobho.
Ne bamusemberera ne bamuddamu nti, “Twagala tuzimbe wano ebiraalo eby’ebisibo by’ebisolo byaffe, tuzimbe n’ebigo eby’abaana baffe abato.
17 Kodwa thina sesilungele ukuzihlomisa ukuze sikhokhele abako-Israyeli size siyebafikisa endaweni yabo. Kunjalo-nje omkethu labantwabethu bazasala emadolobheni avikelekileyo, ukuze bangahlaselwa ngabanikazi balelolizwe.
Naye ffe tubagalire ebyokulwanyisa, tukulembere abaana ba Isirayiri tubatuuse mu bifo byabwe. Olwo abaana baffe abato balisigala mu bibuga bye tuzimbyeko ebigo ebinywevu, kubanga mu nsi muno mulimu abantu baamu.
18 Kasiyikubuyela kweyethu imizi wonke owako-Israyeli aze azuze isabelo sakhe.
Tetugenda kudda mu maka gaffe okutuusa ng’abaana ba Isirayiri buli omu amaze okuweebwa obutaka bwe.
19 Thina kasiyikuzuza isabelo kanye labo ngale kweJodani, ngoba esethu isabelo sisithole ngapha ngempumalanga kweJodani.”
Ffe tetugenda kugabana nabo ku butaka obwo obuli emitala wa Yoludaani n’okweyongerayo; kubanga obutaka bwaffe tuliba tubufunye ku ludda luno olwa Buvanjuba bwa Yoludaani.”
20 Ngakho uMosi wathi kubo, “Nxa lizakwenza lokhu, lizihlomisele ukuhlasela phambi kukaThixo,
Awo Musa n’abagamba nti, “Bwe munaakola bwe mutyo, ne mukwata ebyokulwanyisa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda nga mwetegekedde olutalo,
21 njalo nxa lonke lizahamba lihlomile ngale kweJodani phambi kukaThixo aze adudule izitha phambi kwakhe,
ne musomoka Yoludaani n’ebyokulwanyisa byammwe mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, okutuusa ng’agobye abalabe be mu maaso ge,
22 kuthi nxa ilizwe selinqotshiwe phambi kukaThixo selingaphenduka njalo liyabe selikhululekile emlandwini wenu kuThixo laku-Israyeli. Ngalokho-ke lelilizwe lizakuba yisabelo senu phambi kukaThixo.
n’ensi ng’ewanguddwa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, olwo muliyinza okukomawo nga temuliiko kya kuvunaanyizibwa eri Mukama n’eri Isirayiri. Ekitundu ky’ensi kino ne kibeera omugabo gwammwe mu maaso ga Mukama.
23 Kodwa lingehluleka ukwenza lokhu, lizabe lonile phambi kukaThixo; njalo yazini ukuthi isono senu sizalifumana.
“Naye bwe mutalikola bwe mutyo, muliba musobezza nnyo awali Mukama Katonda, era mutegeerere ddala ng’ekibi kyammwe ekyo kiribayigga ne kibakwasa.
24 Yakhelani abesifazane benu labantwabenu amadolobho, njalo lakhele izifuyo zenu izibaya, kodwa yenzani lokho elikuthembisileyo.”
Kale muzimbire abaana bammwe abato ebibuga eby’ebigo ebinywevu, n’ebisolo byammwe mubizimbire ebiraalo, era mukole n’ebyo bye musuubizza.”
25 AbakoGadi labakoRubheni bathi kuMosi, “Thina izinceku zakho sizakwenza njengokulaya kwenkosi yethu.
Abaana ba Gaadi n’abaana ba Lewubeeni ne bagamba Musa nti, “Ffe abaweereza bo tujja kukola nga ggwe mukama waffe bw’otulagidde.
26 Abantwabethu labomkethu, imihlambi yezimvu zethu leyenkomo zethu kuzasala lapha emadolobheni aseGiliyadi.
Abaana baffe abato ne bakazi baffe, n’ebisibo byaffe eby’endiga n’ebiraalo byaffe eby’ente byonna bijja kusigala wano mu bibuga bya Gireyaadi.
27 Kodwa thina zinceku zakho, yonke indoda ehlomele ukuhlasela, izachapha iyekulwa phambi kukaThixo, njengokutsho kwenkosi yethu.”
Naye abaweereza bo, buli musajja eyeewaddeyo okutabaala ajja kusomoka alwanire mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, nga ggwe mukama waffe bw’ogambye.”
28 UMosi wasekhupha ilizwi lesiqondiso ngabo ku-Eliyazari umphristi lakuJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kanye lakulabo abazinhloko zezimuli zezizwana zako-Israyeli.
Awo Musa n’abawaako ebiragiro eri Eriyazaali kabona, n’eri Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, n’eri abakulembeze b’empya ez’omu bika by’abaana ba Isirayiri.
29 Wathi kubo, “Nxa abakoGadi labakoRubheni, wonke amadoda ayabe ehlomele ukuhlasela, angachaphela ngale kweJodani kunye lani phambi kukaThixo, kube sekusithi nxa ilizwe selinqotshiwe phambi kwenu banikeni ilizwe laseGiliyadi libe yisabelo sabo.
Musa n’agamba nti, “Batabani ba Gaadi ne batabani ba Lewubeeni, buli musajja eyeetegese okutabaala mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, bwe balisomoka nammwe Yoludaani, n’ensi eri mu maaso gammwe n’ewangulwa, kale mubawanga ensi ya Gireyaadi okubeera omugabo gw’obutaka bwabwe.
30 Kodwa nxa bengachaphanga lani behlomile, kumele bemukele isabelo sabo kunye lani eKhenani.”
Naye bwe basomokanga nammwe nga tebalina byakulwanyisa, kale baligabanira wamu nammwe eby’obutaka bwabwe mu nsi ya Kanani.”
31 AbakoGadi labakoRubheni baphendula bathi, “Izinceku zakho zizakwenza okutshiwo nguThixo.
Batabani ba Gaadi ne batabani ba Lewubeeni ne baddamu nti, “Ffe abaweereza bo tujja kukola nga Mukama bw’atugambye.
32 Sizachaphela ngale phambi kukaThixo singene eKhenani sihlomile, kodwa ilifa eliyisabelo sethu lizakuba nganeno kweJodani.”
Tujja kusomokera mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda tuyingire mu nsi ya Kanani nga twesibye ebyokulwanyisa, naye omugabo gwaffe ogw’obutaka bwaffe gujja kusigala ku ludda luno olwa Yoludaani.”
33 Ngakho uMosi wasenika abakoGadi, labakoRubheni kanye lengxenye yesizwana sakoManase indodana kaJosefa umbuso kaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori kanye lombuso ka-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani, ilizwe lonke kanye lamadolobho alo kanye lamazwe ayebagqagqele.
Awo Musa n’abagabira, abaana ba Gaadi n’abaana ba Lewubeeni, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase mutabani wa Yusufu, obwakabaka bwa Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli, n’obwakabaka bwa Ogi kabaka w’e Basani, n’abawa ensi n’ebibuga byamu, n’amatwale gaayo n’ebibuga byamu ebigyetoolodde.
34 AbakoGadi bakha iDibhoni, i-Atharothi, i-Aroweri,
Batabani ba Gaadi ne bazimba ebibuga bino: Diboni, ne Atalosi, ne Aloweri,
35 i-Athirothi-Shofani, iJazeri, iJogibheha,
ne Aterosi Sofani, ne Yazeri, ne Yogubeka;
36 iBhethi-Nimra kanye leBhethi-Harani aba ngamadolobho ahonqolozelwe ngemithangala, njalo bakha lezibaya zemihlambi yezifuyo zabo.
ne Besu Nimira, ne Besu Kalaani, nga bye bibuga ebiriko ebigo ebinywevu, ne bakola n’ebisibo by’ebisolo byabwe.
37 Kanti-ke abakoRubheni bakha kakutsha iHeshibhoni, i-Eliyale kanye leKhiriyathayimi,
Batabani ba Lewubeeni ne bazimba ebibuga bino: Kesuboni, ne Ereyale, ne Kiriyasayimu,
38 kanye lokwakha iNebho kanye leBhali-Meyoni (la amabizo aguqulwa) leSibhima. Betha amadolobho abawakha kutsha amabizo.
ne Nebo, ne Baalu Myoni (amannya gaabyo gaakyusibwa), ne Sibima. Ebibuga bye baddaabiriza baabituuma amannya malala.
39 Izizukulwane zikaMakhiri indodana kaManase zaya eGiliyadi, zalithumba njalo zaxotsha ama-Amori ayekulelolizwe.
Abaana ba Makiri, mutabani wa Manase, ne bagenda e Gireyaadi, ensi eyo ne bagiwamba, ne bagobamu Abamoli abaagibeerangamu.
40 Ngakho uMosi wapha elaseGiliyadi kumaMakhiri, izizukulwane zikaManase, basebehlala khona.
Bw’atyo Musa n’awa Gireyaadi, Makiri mutabani wa Manase, n’atuula omwo.
41 UJayiri, umzukulu kaManase, wathumba imizi yabo wayibiza ngokuthi yiHarothi Jayiri.
Yayiri mutabani wa Manase n’agenda ne yeetwalira obubuga obutonotono, n’abutuuma Kavosu Yayiri.
42 Kanti uNobha wathumba iKhenathi kanye lemizi eyigqagqeleyo njalo wayetha ibizo lakhe wathi yiNobha.
Ne Noba naye n’awamba Kenasi n’obwalo obukyetoolodde, n’akituuma Noba erinnya lye.
