1 Atyanu abakabaka bonabona abʼe bugwaisana wa Yoludaani, abʼomu kyalo kyʼensozisozi, nʼansi oku mbale mbale kwʼensozisozi e bugwaisana, nʼoku mbale mbale kwonakwona okwʼenyanza oMeditereniani, okwabira nakimo paka Lebbanooni, ekikoba kiti, abakabaka bʼaBakiiti, nʼabʼaBamooli, nʼabʼaBakanani, nʼabʼaBaperizi, nʼabʼaBakiivi, nʼabʼaBayebbusi owebabiwuliire, 2 ni beegaita okulwanisya oYoswa nʼaBaisirairi.
3 Neye abatyami bʼe Gibbyoni owebawuliire oYoswa ebiyakolere oYeriko nʼAyi, 4 ni bakola olukuujukuuju; ni baaba ngʼabakwenda abatiikire empunda gyabwe ebisawo ebinyiiriki nʼebisawo ebyamadiba ebyʼenviinyo ebikaire, ebitunduki ebikubbemu ebiraaka. 5 Abantu abo ni bazwala ebizwalo ebikairiire, nʼengaito egikairiire era enkubbemu ebiraaka. Ebyokulya byabwe byonabyona ebibabbaire basibire byabbaire bikalire, era nga bikwaite obukuku. 6 Kaisi ni baaba eeri oYoswa nʼaBaisirairi omu nkambi e Girugaali, ni babakoba bati, “Tuzwire mu kyalo kyʼe yala; mukole na iswe endagaano eyʼokubba omwidembe.”
7 ABaisirairi ni bakoba abantu abo abʼe Kiivi bati, “Amo-so muli ba kumpi na iswe aanu? Olwo twakola tutya na inywe endagaano?”+
8 Ibo ni bakoba oYoswa bati, “Tuli baweereryabo.”
Neye oYoswa nʼababuulya ati, “Muli banaani, era muzwera yaina?”
9 Ibo ni bamwiramu bati, “Abaweereryabo bazwire mu kyalo kyʼe yala ino, olwʼenfuma ya Musengwa iye oKibbumba waanywe. Ekyo kityo olwʼokubba twawuliire ebimukwataku, ebyo byonabyona ebiyakolere omu Misiri, 10 nʼebyo byonabyona ebiyakolere abakabaka ababiri abʼaBamooli, ababbaire e buzwaisana owa Yoludaani, nga niibo oSikoni okabaka wʼe Kesyubboni, nʼOgi okabaka wʼe Bbasani eyafugiire omwAsitalosi.+ 11 Era abeekubbemberi baiswe nʼabantu bonabona abali omu kyalo kyaiswe batukobere bati, ‘Mwetegekere ebyokulya ebyʼolugendo lyanywe era mwabe mubasisinkane.’ Mubakobe muti, ‘Tutaka okubba baweererya baanywe, era mukole na iswe endagaano. 12 Ebyokulya byaiswe binu twabisibire nga bikaali biyo oku lunaku olutwasimbukiire okwiza e gimuli. Neye atyanu mubone obwebitukalireku, ni bikwata nʼobukuku. 13 Era ensawo egyʼamadiba egyʼenviinyo twabbaire tugiizwirye nga mpyaka. Neye mubone! Nginu gitundukire! Era ebizwalo byaiswe nʼengaito gyaiswe, bikairiire olwʼolugendo oluwanvu eino.’ ”
14 ABaisirairi ni balyaku ebyokulya badi ebibabbaire basibire, neye nga tibasookere okwebuulya oku Musengwa. 15 OYoswa nʼakola nʼabantu bʼe Gibbyoni endagaano eyʼokubba omwidembe nabo, nʼalagaana nabo okutabaita. Abeekubbemberi bʼekibbula kyʼaBaisirairi ni babalayirira okukuuma endagaano eyo.
16 Owewabitirewo enaku isatu nga bamalire okukola endagaano eyo nʼabantu bʼe Gibyoni, aBaisirairi ni bawulira bati abantu abo baliranwa baabwe era nga babba kumpi nabo. 17 Awo aBaisirairi ni baaba, era oku lunaku olwokusatu ni batuuka omu bibuga byʼabantu nago. Ebibuga ebyo niibyo binu: OGibbyoni, nʼoKefira, nʼoBbeerosi nʼoKiriyaasi Yeyalimu. 18 Neye aBaisirairi nandi balumba abantu bʼomu bibuga ebyo, olwʼokubba abeekubbemberi abʼekibbula kyʼaBaisirairi babbaire bamalire okubalayirira omu liina lya Musengwa iye oKibbumba wa Isirairi.
ABaisirairi bonabona ni beezulugumira abeekubbemberi olwʼekyo, 19 neye abeekubbemberi bonabona ni bairamu bati, “Abantu banu twabalayiriire omu liina lya Musengwa iye oKibbumba wa Isirairi. Kale atyanu titwezya okubakwataku. 20 Ekituli nʼokukola, kubaleka nga boomi, kaisi oMusengwa tiyatusunguwalira olwʼokumenya ekirairo ekitwabalayiriire.” 21 Abeekubbemberi era ni bakoba bati, “Mubaleke nga boomi, neye babbeeterenge aBaisirairi bonabona enkwi nʼokubaabiranga amaizi.” Kale aBaisirairi ni bakuuma ekisuubizo ekyo.
22 Awo oYoswa nʼayeta aBagibbyoni, nʼababuulya ati, “Lwaki mwatubbeyere muti muli bʼe yala ino, neenu nga muli ba kumpi aanu? 23 Kale atyanu musunire ekiraami. Timwalikomya okubba bagalama, mwabbeetanga nkwi nʼokwabanga maizi gʼenyumba ya Kibbumba wange.”
24 Ni bairamu oYoswa bati, “Twakolere ekyo olwʼokubba babbaire batukobeire nakusani iswe abagalamabo ngʼoMusengwa iye oKibbumba waanywe oweyabasuubizire ekyalo kinu kyonakyona, era ngʼoweyalagiire omuweereryawe oMusa okusaanyawo abantu bonabona abakibbaamu nʼokukibawa. Kale twakolere ekyo lwʼokutya kutwita. 25 Atyanu tuli mu ngalogyo. Otukole kyonakyona ekyobona nga kisa era nga niikyo ekituuce egyoli.”
26 Era oYoswa nʼabanunula omu bwezye bwʼaBaisirairi okutabaita. 27 Okuzwa kwolwo oYoswa nʼabasuuca bakubbeetanga nkwi nʼokwabanga maizi gʼaBaisirairi bonabona nʼagʼoku kyoto kya Musengwa. Egyo niigyo emirimo gyabwe egibakola paka lwatyanu.
