Amanani 14
1 Lenhlangano yonke yasiziphakamisa, yazwakalisa ilizwi layo; abantu basebekhala inyembezi ngalobobusuku.
Ekiro ekyo abantu bonna mu kibiina ne bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe ne bakaaba n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka.
2 Bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebengunguna bemelene loMozisi loAroni; lenhlangano yonke yathi kubo: Kungathi ngabe safela elizweni leGibhithe, kumbe kungathi ngabe safela kule inkangala!
Abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ne beemulugunyiza Musa ne Alooni; abantu bonna awamu mu kibiina ne babagamba nti, “Singa twafiira mu nsi y’e Misiri! Oba singa twafiira mu ddungu muno!
3 Njalo kungani iNkosi isilethe kulelilizwe ukuthi siwe ngenkemba? Omkethu labantwanyana bethu bazakuba yimpango. Bekungebe ngcono kithi ukubuyela eGibhithe yini?
Lwaki Mukama atutwala mu nsi eyo, tutuuke eyo tulyoke tuttibwe n’ekitala? Abakazi baffe n’abaana baffe bagenda kunyagibwa. Okuddayo mu Misiri si kye kinaasingako?”
4 Basebesithi omunye komunye: Asimiseni inhloko, sibuyele eGibhithe.
Ne boogeraganya nti, “Ka twerondere omukulembeze tuddeyo mu Misiri.”
5 UMozisi loAroni basebesithi mbo ngobuso babo phambi kwebandla lonke lenhlangano yabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bavuunama wansi mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri abaali bakuŋŋaanidde awo.
6 UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni loKalebi indodana kaJefune ababengabalabo abahlola ilizwe, basebedabula izembatho zabo,
Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ne Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune, abaali mu abo abaagenda okuketta ensi, ne bayuzaayuza engoye zaabwe,
7 bakhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli besithi: Ilizwe esadabula kulo ukuze silihlole yilizwe elihle kakhulukazi.
ne bagamba ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Ensi gye twayitaayitamu okugiketta, nsi nnungi nnyo.
8 Uba iNkosi ithokoza ngathi, izasingenisa kulelilizwe, isinike lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.
Mukama Katonda bw’aliba atusanyukidde, alitukulembera n’atutuusa mu nsi eyo, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, era agenda kugituwa.
9 Kuphela lingayivukeli iNkosi; futhi lina lingesabi abantu belizwe, ngoba bayikudla kwethu. Umthunzi wabo usukile kubo; leNkosi ilathi; lingabesabi.
Kyokka temujeemera Mukama Katonda, era n’abantu b’omu nsi omwo temubatya, kubanga kuliba kumenya mu jjenje kkalu; tebakyalina abakuuma, ate nga Mukama Katonda ali wamu naffe. Temubatya.”
10 Kodwa inhlangano yonke yathi kabakhandwe ngamatshe. Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasibonakala ethenteni lenhlangano kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Naye abantu bonna mu kibiina ne bateesa okubakuba mayinja. Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda ne kirabikira eri abaana ba Isirayiri bonna mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
11 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Koze kube nini lababantu bengidelela? Koze kube nini bengangikholwa, ngazo zonke izibonakaliso engizenze phakathi kwabo?
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Abantu bano balinnyooma kutuusa ddi? Balikomya ddi obutanzikiririzaamu, newaakubadde nga nakola ebyamagero mu bubonero bwe nakolera mu bo?
12 Ngizabatshaya ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo, ngibathathele ilifa, ngikwenze ube yisizwe esikhulu lesilamandla kulabo.
Nzija kubaboola mbazikirize ne kawumpuli, mbasaanyeewo; naye nzija kukuggyamu ggwe eggwanga eriribasinga abo obukulu n’amaanyi.”
13 UMozisi wasesithi eNkosini: Khona amaGibhithe azakuzwa; ngoba wenyuse lababantu phakathi kwawo ngamandla akho.
Naye Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti, “Ebyo Abamisiri bagenda kubiwulira! Kubanga abantu bano wabaggya mu nsi y’Abamisiri n’obuyinza obw’amaanyi amangi.
14 Njalo azatshela abahlali balelilizwe. Bazwile ukuthi wena Nkosi uphakathi kwalababantu, ukuthi wena Nkosi ubonwa ubuso ngobuso, lokuthi iyezi lakho lima phezu kwabo, uhamba phambi kwabo usensikeni yeyezi emini lensikeni yomlilo ebusuku.
Bajja kubuulirako ku bantu ab’omu nsi muno. Baamala dda okukiwulira nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, obeera wakati mu bantu bano, era nga, Ayi Mukama Katonda, mulabagana nabo amaaso n’amaaso, era ng’ekire kyo kibeera nabo buli kiseera, era ng’obakulemberera mu mpagi ey’ekire emisana ne mu mpagi ey’omuliro ekiro.
15 Uba ubulala lababantu njengomuntu oyedwa, izizwe ezizwe ngendumela yakho zizakhuluma zisithi:
Singa abantu bano obatta bonna omulundi gumu, amawanga agawulidde obututumufu bwo gagenda kugamba nti,
16 Ngoba iNkosi yayingelakho ukungenisa lababantu elizweni eyabafungela lona, ngakho ibabulele enkangala.
‘Kubanga Mukama Katonda yali tasobola kuyingiza bantu bano mu nsi gye yabasuubiza ng’agibalayirira; kyeyava abattira mu ddungu.’
17 Khathesi-ke, ngiyancenga, kawabe makhulu amandla eNkosi yami, njengokutsho kwakho usithi:
“Ne kaakano nkwegayirira oyoleke obuyinza bwo, Ayi Mukama nga bwe buli obusukkirivu nga bwe wasuubiza nti,
18 INkosi iyaphuza ukuthukuthela, njalo inkulu emuseni, ithethelela ububi leziphambeko, kodwa engayikumyekela lokumyekela olecala, iphindisela ububi baboyise phezu kwabantwana kwesesithathu lesesine isizukulwana.
‘Mukama Katonda alwawo okusunguwala, era ajjudde okwagala okutaggwaawo, era asonyiwa ekibi n’obujeemu. Naye era asingiddwa omusango tamuleka nga tabonerezebbwa; abonereza abaana olw’ebibi bya bakadde baabwe okutuuka ku mulembe ogwokusatu n’ogwokuna.’
19 Thethelela, ngiyancenga, ububi balababantu njengobukhulu bomusa wakho, lanjengalokho ubathethelele lababantu kusukela eGibhithe kuze kube khathesi.
Ng’okwagala kwe okungi okutaggwaawo bwe kuli, nsaba osonyiwe abantu bano ekibi ky’abwe, nga bw’ozze obasonyiwa kasookedde bava mu Misiri n’okutuusa leero.”
20 INkosi yasisithi: Sengibathethelele njengokwelizwi lakho.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’addamu nti, “Mbasonyiye nga bw’onsabye.
21 Kodwa isibili, njengalokhu ngiphila, umhlaba wonke uzagcwala ngenkazimulo yeNkosi.
Naye nno mu mazima ddala nga bwe ndi omulamu, era ng’ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda bwe kijjuza ensi yonna,
22 Ngoba wonke amadoda abone inkazimulo yami lezibonakaliso zami engazenza eGibhithe lenkangala, langilingileyo lezizikhathi ezilitshumi, kawezwanga ilizwi lami,
tewalibaawo n’omu ku bantu abaalaba ekitiibwa kyange n’obubonero obw’ebyamagero bwe nakolera e Misiri ne mu ddungu, naye ne batagondera ddoboozi lyange wabula ne bangezesa nga bankema emirundi kkumi,
23 isibili kabayikubona ilizwe engalifungela oyise; futhi kakho owalabo abangideleleyo ozalibona.
tewalibaawo n’omu ku bo aliraba ku nsi eyo gye nalayirira bajjajjaabwe ne mbasuubiza okugibawa. Tewalibaawo n’omu ku bo abannyoomye aligirabako.
24 Kodwa inceku yami uKalebi, ngoba omunye umoya ubulaye, wangilandela ngokupheleleyo; ngakho ngizamngenisa elizweni ayengene kilo; lenzalo yakhe izakudla ilifa lalo.
Naye olwokubanga omuweereza wange Kalebu alina omwoyo ogw’enjawulo era ng’angoberera n’omutima gwe gwonna, ndimuleeta mu nsi gye yatumibwamu, n’ezzadde lye lirigirya.
25 (AmaAmaleki lamaKhanani ahlala-ke esigodini.) Kusasa phendukani, lisuke liziyele enkangala ngendlela yoLwandle oluBomvu.
Kale nno olwokubanga Abamaleki n’Abakanani babeera mu biwonvu; enkya muddeeko emabega, musitule mutambule nga mwolekera eddungu nga mukutte ekkubo eriraga ku Nnyanja Emyufu.”
26 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
27 Koze kube nini ngilalinhlangano embi, engingungunelayo? Ngizwile ukungunguna kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abangunguna ngakho bemelene lami.
“Ekibiina kino ekibi kirituusa ddi nga kinneemulugunyiza? Mpulidde okutolotooma kw’abaana ba Isirayiri nga banneemulugunyiza.
28 Tshono kibo uthi: Sibili njengoba ngiphila, kutsho iNkosi, njengalokhu likhulume endlebeni zami, ngizakwenza njalo kini.
Bategeeze nti, ‘Mukama agambye nti, Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, ebyo bye mpulidde nga mwogera, nange bye ndibakola.
29 Izidumbu zenu zizawela enkangala le, labo bonke ababaliweyo benu, njengokwenani lonke lenu, kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili langaphezulu, lina abangingunguneleyo;
Mulifiira mu ddungu muno n’emirambo gyammwe mwe girisigala; mwenna abawezezza emyaka amakumi abiri n’okusingawo egy’obukulu nga bwe mwamala okubalibwa, abanneemulugunyiza.
30 sibili lina kaliyikungena elizweni engiliphakamisele isandla sami ukulihlalisa kulo, ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
Tewaliba n’omu ku bo aliyingira mu nsi gye neelayirira nti ge galibeera amaka gammwe, okuggyako Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune ne Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni.
31 Kodwa abantwanyana benu elathi ngabo bazakuba yimpango, ngizabangenisa, bazalazi ilizwe elalilahlayo.
Naye abaana bammwe abato, be mwogeddeko nti balifuulibwa omunyago, ndibayingiza mu nsi eyo gye mugaanye ne beeyagalira omwo.
32 Lina-ke, izidumbu zenu zizawela kulinkangala.
Naye mmwe, emirambo gyammwe girisigala mu ddungu muno mwe girigwa.
33 Labantwana benu bazakuba ngabelusi enkangala iminyaka engamatshumi amane, bathwale ukuphinga kwenu, izidumbu zenu zize ziphele enkangala.
Mmwe olw’obutabeera beesigwa, abaana bammwe balimala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu nga bwe balunda ebisibo byabwe okutuusa omulambo gw’oyo alisembayo okufa lwe guliziikibwa mu ddungu muno.
34 Njengokwenani lezinsuku elahlola ngazo ilizwe, insuku ezingamatshumi amane, usuku ngomnyaka, usuku ngomnyaka, lizathwala ububi benu, iminyaka engamatshumi amane, lazi ukufulathela kwami.
Nga bwe mwamala ennaku amakumi ana nga muketta ensi eri, bwe mutyo bwe mujja okumala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu, nga buli lumu ku nnaku ezo muvaamu mwaka gumu gumu; muboneebone olw’ebibi byammwe, mulyoke mutegeere obuzibu obw’okunneesimbamu.
35 Mina Nkosi ngikhulumile. Isibili ngizakwenza lokhu kulinhlangano yonke embi ebuthene imelene lami; kulinkangala bazaphela, bafele khona.
Nze, Mukama Katonda, nkyogedde; ddala ddala ekyo ndikikola ku kibiina kyonna eky’abantu bano aboonoonyi abeegasse awamu okunjolekera. Tebagenda kuva mu ddungu lino, bonna mwe balifiira.’”
36 Njalo amadoda uMozisi awathumayo ukuhlola ilizwe, esephenduka, enza inhlangano yonke yamngungunela ngokuletha umbiko omubi mayelana lelizwe,
Abasajja abo Musa be yatuma okuketta ensi ne bakomawo ne beemulugunyiza ekibiina ky’abantu bonna nga babaleetedde obubaka obutaali bulungi ku nsi eri, era ne babubunyisa mu bantu,
37 lamadoda aletha umbiko omubi ngelizwe afa ngenhlupheko phambi kweNkosi.
abasajja abo abaaleeta obubaka obutaali bulungi ne babubunyisa mu bantu kawumpuli n’abattira awo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.
38 Kodwa uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni loKalebi indodana kaJefune, kulawomadoda ayeyehlola ilizwe, asala ephila.
Mu basajja bonna abaatumibwa okuketta ensi, Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ne Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune be bokka abaasigalawo nga balamu.
39 Njalo uMozisi wakhuluma la amazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli; abantu basebelila kakhulu.
Musa n’ategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ebigambo ebyo, ne bakungubaga nnyo.
40 Basebevuka ekuseni kakhulu, benyukela engqongeni yentaba, besithi: Khangelani silapha, sizakwenyukela endaweni iNkosi eyithembisileyo; ngoba sonile.
Enkeera mu makya ne bambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi. Ne boogera nti, “Twayonoona, naye nga bwe tuli wano tujja kwambuka tuyingire mu nsi Mukama Katonda gye yatusuubiza.”
41 Kodwa uMozisi wathi: Kungani-ke liseqa umlayo weNkosi? Ngoba kakuyikuphumelela.
Naye Musa n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki munyooma ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda? Ebyo bye mutegeka tebiyinza kutuukiririra.
42 Lingenyuki, ngoba iNkosi kayikho phakathi kwenu, ukuze lingatshaywa phambi kwezitha zenu.
Temwambuka kubanga Mukama Katonda tali nammwe. Abalabe bammwe bajja kubawangula.
43 Ngoba amaAmaleki lamaKhanani alapho phambi kwenu; njalo lizakuwa ngenkemba, ngoba njengoba liphendukile ekulandeleni iNkosi, iNkosi kayiyikuba lani.
Kubanga Abamaleki n’Abakanani bajja kuboolekera. Olwokubanga mwekyusizza ne muva ku Mukama Katonda, tajja kubeera nammwe, ekitala kijja kubatta.”
44 Kodwa ngokuziqhenya benyukela engqongeni yentaba, kodwa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi loMozisi kawuphumanga phakathi kwenkamba.
Naye era bo ne beesigula ne bambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi, newaakubadde nga Musa teyagenda nabo era nga n’essanduuko ey’endagaano yasigala mu lusiisira.
45 AmaAmaleki asesehla, lamaKhanani ahlala kulezozintaba, abatshaya, abahlakaza kwaze kwaba seHorma.
Awo Abamaleki n’Abakanani abaabeeranga mu nsi eyo ey’ensozi ne bakkirira ne babalumba ne babakubira ddala okubatuusa e Koluma.
