Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Zithumele amadoda ukuthi ahlole ilizwe leKhanani engibapha lona abantwana bakoIsrayeli; uthume indoda eyodwa yaleso lalesosizwe saboyise, yonke eyinduna phakathi kwabo.
“Tuma abasajja bagende bakette beetegereze ensi ya Kanani gye ŋŋenda okuwa abaana ba Isirayiri. Mu buli kika kya bajjajja ojja kulondamu omusajja omu ku bakulembeze baakyo.”
3 UMozisi wawathuma-ke esuka enkangala yeParani, ngokomlayo weNkosi; wonke lawomadoda ayezinhloko zabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Bw’atyo Musa n’abatuma okuva mu ddungu lya Palani, ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda bwe kyali. Bonna baali bakulembeze b’abaana ba Isirayiri.

16 La ngamabizo amadoda uMozisi awathumayo ukuhlola ilizwe. UMozisi wasembiza uHoseya indodana kaNuni ngokuthi nguJoshuwa.
Ago ge mannya ag’abasajja Musa be yatuma okugenda okuketta n’okwetegereza ensi eyo. Musa yali atuumye Koseya mutabani wa Nuuni erinnya Yoswa.
17 UMozisi wasewathuma ukuhlola ilizwe leKhanani, wathi kuwo: Yenyukani lapha liye eningizimu, lenyukele entabeni,
Musa n’abatuma okuketta n’okwetegereza ensi ya Kanani, n’abagamba nti, “Mwambuke nga muyita mu Negebu muggukire mu nsi ey’ensozi.
18 libone ilizwe ukuthi linjani, labantu abakhileyo kulo ukuthi balamandla kumbe babuthakathaka, balutshwana kumbe banengi yini,
Mwetegerezenga ensi nga bw’efaanana, n’abantu baamu nga bwe bali, obanga ba maanyi oba banafu, obanga bangi oba batono.
19 lokuthi linjani ilizwe abahlala kulo, loba lihle loba libi, lokuthi injani imizi abahlala kiyo, loba izinkamba loba izinqaba,
Mulyetegereza obanga ensi mwe babeera nnungi oba mbi. Era muliraba ebibuga byabwe obanga tebiriiko bisenge bya bbugwe oba byetooloddwa bigo.
20 lokuthi ilizwe linjani, loba livundile loba lilugwadule, lokuthi lilezihlahla loba hayi. Manini isibindi, lithathe okwesithelo selizwe. Lalesisikhathi kwakuyisikhathi sezithelo zokuqala zevini.
Mulikebera okulaba obanga ensi yaabwe ngimu oba nkalu, era obanga erimu emiti mingi oba temuli. Mwenywezanga ne muleetayo ku bibala eby’omu nsi eyo.” Ekyo kye kyali ekiseera ezabbibu nga zaakatandika okwengera.
21 Basebesenyuka, balihlola ilizwe kusukela enkangala yeZini kuze kube seRehobi, ekungeneni eHamathi.
Awo ne bambuka ne beetegereza ensi okuva mu ddungu lya Zini okutuuka e Lekobu okumpi n’awayingirirwa mu Kamasi.
22 Benyuka-ke ngeningizimu bafika eHebroni, lapho kwakulaboAhimani, uSheshayi, loTalimayi, abantwana bakaAnaki. IHebroni lakhiwa-ke iminyaka eyisikhombisa kungakabi leZowani eGibhithe.
Ne bambuka mu Negebu ne batuuka e Kebbulooni, era wano Akimaani ne Sesayi ne Talumaayi abazzukulu ba Anaki nga we babeera. Kebbulooni bwe kyamala okuzimbibwa waayitawo emyaka musanvu ne Zowani eky’omu Misiri nakyo ne kiryoka kizimbibwa.
23 Basebefika esihotsheni seEshikoli; baquma khona ugatsha olulehlukuzo elilodwa lezithelo zevini, baluthwalisana ngesigodo ngababili, lokwamapomegranati lokwemikhiwa.
Ne batuuka mu kiwonvu ekiyitibwa Esukoli ne batemamu ettabi limu eryaliko ekirimba kimu ekya zabbibu, abantu babiri ne bakireetera ku musituliro. Era ne baleeta ne ku makomamawanga ne ku ttiini.
24 Leyondawo kwathiwa yisihotsha seEshikoli, ngenxa yehlukuzo abantwana bakoIsrayeli abaliqumayo lapho.
Ekifo ekyo ne kiyitibwa Ekiwonvu kya Esukoli, olw’ekirimba ekyo abaana ba Isirayiri kye baatemamu.
25 Basebebuya bevela ekuhloleni ilizwe ekupheleni kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane.
Awo nga wayiseewo ennaku amakumi ana ne bakomawo nga bamaze okuketta ensi.
26 Basebehamba bafika kuMozisi lakuAroni lakunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli enkangala yeParani, eKadeshi; basebebuyisela umbiko kubo lakunhlangano yonke, basebebatshengisa isithelo selizwe.
Ne bajja eri Musa ne Alooni e Kadesi mu ddungu lya Palani. Ne babakomezaawo obubaka n’eri ekibiina kyonna, era ne babanjulira ebibala bye baggya mu nsi eyo.
27 Basebembikela bathi: Safika elizweni owasithuma kulo; njalo ngeqiniso, ligeleza uchago loluju; lalesi yisithelo salo.
Ne bategeeza Musa nti, “Twatuuka mu nsi gye watutumamu: ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, ejjudde ebirungi ebyereere, era bino bye bibala byamu.
28 Kodwa-ke abantu abahlala elizweni balamandla, lemizi ibiyelwe ngemithangala, mikhulu kakhulu; njalo-ke sibone khona inzalo kaAnaki.
Naye nno abantu ababeera mu nsi omwo ba maanyi, n’ebibuga byabwe binene nnyo era byetooloddwako ebigo. Ate n’ekirala twalabaayo n’abazzukulu ba Anaki.
29 AmaAmaleki akhile elizweni leningizimu; lamaHethi lamaJebusi lamaAmori akhile entabeni; lamaKhanani akhile elwandle leceleni kweJordani.
Abamaleki babeera mu Negebu mu bukiikaddyo; Abakiiti n’Abayebusi, n’Abamoli babeera mu nsi ey’ensozi; n’Abakanani ne babeera okumpi n’ennyanja ne ku lubalama lw’omugga Yoludaani.”
30 UKalebi wasethulisa abantu phambi kukaMozisi, wathi: Asenyukeni lokwenyuka, sidle ilifa lalo, ngoba silamandla okulinqoba.
Awo Kalebu n’asirisa abantu awali Musa n’agamba nti, “Twambukirewo kaakano tutwale ensi eyo, kubanga ndaba nga tusobola okugiwangula.”
31 Kodwa amadoda ayenyuke laye athi: Kasilamandla okwenyukela kulabobantu, ngoba balamandla kulathi.
Kyokka abaagenda ne Kalebu okuketta ne baddamu nti, “Abantu bali tetubasobola, batusinga amaanyi.”
32 Basebeveza umbiko omubi ngelizwe ababelihlolile ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli besithi: Ilizwe esidabule kulo ukulihlola yilizwe elidla abantu abahlala kulo; labantu bonke esababona phakathi kwalo bangamadoda amade kakhulu.
Bwe batyo ne babunya mu baana ba Isirayiri alipoota etaali nnungi ng’efa ku nsi gye baali bagenze okuketta; nga bagamba nti, “Ensi gye twayitaayitamu nga tugiketta tesobola na kuliisa bantu baayo abagituulamu; ate n’abantu bonna be twalabamu baali ba kiwago.
33 Lalapho sibone iziqhwaga, amadodana kaAnaki, avela eziqhwageni. Lemehlweni ethu sasinjengentethe, sasinjalo lemehlweni azo.
Twalabayo n’Abanefisi, abazzukulu ba Anaki abava mu Banefiri. Bwe twetunulako nga tuli ng’obwacaaka, era nabo nga bwe batulaba bwe batyo.”
