Abantu beezulugumira oMusa
1 Lwabbaire lumo abantu ni batandiika okwezuluguma eeri oMusengwa olwʼebigosi ebyabbaire biri kubatuukangaku. OMusengwa oweyawuliire, nʼasunguwala. Atyo nʼasindika omusyo omu bantu era ni gujigirica e mbalembale wʼenkambi. 2 Abantu owebeekungiriire oMusa, yeegairiire oMusengwa, era omusyo ni gwikaikana. 3 Nʼolwekyo ekifo ekyo ni bakiwa eriina bati, “Tabbera,”* olwʼokubba omusyo gwa Musengwa gwakire mwibo.
4 Awo abʼekibbula kyʼabanamawanga ababbaire batambula nʼaBaisirairi, ni bayoya ino okulyaku enyama, nʼaBaisirairi bona ni beeririgana nga bakoba bati, “Naani eyatusunisyaku enyama ni tulyaku? 5 Kale tukaali twebukirya enyanyi egitwalyanga egyʼobusa e Misiri, oteekeku ocuukamba nʼomeroni, nʼobutungulu obubalya bikoola, nʼebitungulu nʼokatungulucumu. 6 Neye atyanu eireke lyonalyona lyatuwoiremu. Titukaali tuli nʼekyokulya ekindi ekitubonaku, wazira emaanu eenu yonkani!”
7 Emaanu yabbaire njeru nga ntontono ooti nsigo wʼekimera ekibeeta kolyanda.+ 8 Abantu baabanga ni bagikumbaania, ni bagisyera oku mengo, ooba ni bagidundira omu bibulo. Era ni bagisumbira omu maseefulya, ooba ni bagisumbamu obugaati. Yawoomanga ooti bugaati obubasiikiire obwito obwʼemizaituuni. 9 Olume owerwakwatanga obwire omu nkambi, emaanu yona ngʼegwa.+
10 OMusa nʼawulira abantu nga beezuluguma, nga bali nʼabʼomu bisito byabwe oku miryango gyʼeweema gyabwe. OMusengwa nʼasunguwala ino era oMusa nʼanakuwala. 11 OMusa nʼakoba oMusengwa ati, “Lwaki ombitya Nze omuweereryawo okubbikubbi otyo? Lwaki tonsaasira? Lwaki ontiika obuvunaanyizibwa bwʼabantu banu bonabona? 12 Nze nabbaireku kida ni mbyala abantu banu bonabona, kaisi onkobe oti mbaginge omu kifubba, ngʼomuleri owaaginga omwana ayonka, mbatwale omu kyalo e kiwalayiire okuwa abazeiza baabwe? 13 Njaba kutoola yaina enyama eginaawa abantu banu bonabona? Mbanu bankungirira nga bakoba bati, ‘Otuwe enyama tulye.’ 14 Timpezya okwetiika obuvunaanyizibwa bwʼabantu banu bonabona zenkani. Obuzito obwo bubitiriri ino ku nze. 15 Owoobba oyaba kumbityanga otyo, nkwegairiire wakiri onjite saawa nanyere enu, nkusaba onsaasire tiwandeka okugada ntyo.”
OMusa alonda abeekubbemberi 70
16 Awo oMusengwa nʼakoba oMusa ati, “Onsoloojerye abasaiza 70, aboomaite ngʼabeekubbemberi era nga bakungu bʼaBaisirairi, obaleete oku Weema eyʼoKunsisinkanirangamu, beemerere awo aamo na iwe. 17 Nze nʼaiza ni ntumula na iwe aawo. Era natoola oMwoyo ngʼaali kwiwe, ni mmuteeka kwibo, bakubbeerengeku obuvunaanyizibwa obwʼokulabiriranga abantu, kaisi tiwaabbanga ku niiwe wenkani.”
18 “Era okobe abantu abo oti, ‘Mwetukulye okwetegekera olunaku olweizo olumwaliira enyama. Nze oMusengwa mpuliire okwezuluguma kwanywe nga mwebuulya naani eyabawa enyama ni mulya, nga mukoba muti singa muliireku enyama. Kale nze oMusengwa nabawa enyama ni mugirya. 19 Timwagirye lunaku lumo ooba ibiri, ooba itaanu ooba ikumi, waire aabiri. 20 Neye mwagirya mweri mulamba, paka oweyalibasinya nʼebafunyira wundi. Ekyo kyalibba kityo olwʼokubba muneegaine nze oMusengwa aali mwinywe, ni mwezulugumira omumaiso gange nga mukoba muti, lwaki mwazwire omu kyalo kyʼe Misiri!’ ”
21 Neye oMusa nʼakoba ati, “Abantu abendi nabo bali abasaiza 600,000, era nʼokoba oti wabawa enyama egibaalya omweri omulamba! 22 Waliwo ebiraalo byʼentaama nʼente ebibeezya okusala ni bibamala? Nʼowebakumbaania enyanyi gyonagyona omu nyanza, gyabamala?”
23 OMusengwa nʼairamu oMusa ati, “Obwezye bwange buliku ekikomo? Atyanu oyaba okubona ooba ngʼekintumula kyatuukirira, ooba nga tikyatuukirire.”
24 Kale oMusa nʼawuluka, nʼakobera abantu oMusengwa ebyatumwire. Nʼakumbaania abasaiza 70 oku beekubbemberi baabwe, nʼabateekawo ni beemerera okweruguulirirya eWeema eyʼoKusisinkanirangamu oMusengwa. 25 Awo oMusengwa nʼaika ngʼali omu kireri, nʼatumula nʼoMusa. Nʼatoola oMwoyo ngʼeyabbaire oku Musa, nʼamuteeka oku beekubbemberi 70. OMwoyo oweyabaikireku, ni batandiika okuwa obunaabbi, neye tibairiremu okukikola omulundi ogundi.
26 Neye ababiri Eridaadi nʼoMedadi oku beekubbemberi 70, babbaire basigaire mu nkambi, nga tibawulukire okwiza oku Weema eyʼoKusisinkanirangamu oMusengwa. Omwoyo nʼabaikaku bona, era ni batandiika okuwa obunaabbi nga bali eeyo omu nkambi. 27 Ni wabbaawo omwisuka eyairukire nʼayaba okukobera oMusa ati, “Eridaadi nʼoMedadi bali eedi omu nkambi bawa obunaabbi.”
28 Awo oYoswa omutaane wa Nuuni eyabbaire omubbeeri wa Musa okuzwa nga mwisuka, nʼeigono eryʼangulu nʼakoba oMusa ati, “Mukulu, oyabe obaloberye!”
29 Neye oMusa nʼamwiramu ati, “Ondumirwa ino? Nze nanditakire abantube bonabona babbe banaabbi, era oMusengwa abaiceeku oMwoyowe, babbe banaabbi.” 30 Awo oMusa nʼabeekubbemberi 70 ni bakanga omu nkambi.
OMusengwa awa aBaisirairi enindu
31 Awo oMusengwa nʼasindika ompunga, nʼaleeta enindu okuzwa oku nyanza, nga giguluka omwibbanga okwaba angulu emita ooti moiza okuzwa okwitakali, ni gigwa okumpi nʼenkambi ni gijeeruguulirirya enkambi, ni giwoisya ekifo ekyo, ni gibba ku buli lubba okwaba ooti kiromita. 32 Awo kaisi abantu ni bawuluka ni baaba ni bakumbaania enindu olunaku olwo lwonalwona nʼobwire bwonabwona, nʼolunaku olwairireku lwonalwona ni bakumbaania enindu. Eyakumbaanirye entono yayererye ooti kiro 1,000. Ni bagyanika gyonagyona okweruguulirirya enkambi. 33 Neye babbaire bakaali balyaku enyama eyo eyʼenindu, era nga bakaali okugimalawo, oMusengwa nʼabasunguwalira ino, nʼabasindikira okawumpuli owʼamaani. 34 Nʼolwʼekyo ekifo ekyo ni bakiwa eriina bati Kibbuloosi Kataava, ekitegeeza aMagombe gʼaBayoya, olwʼokubba niimwo omubaliikire abantu abayoyere enyama.
35 ABaisirairi owebazwire omu Kibbuloosi Kataava, ni baaba e Kazeroosi, ni bakolayo enkambi ni babba eeyo.
