ABaisirairi bawamba ekibuga oYeriko
1 Atyanu oYeriko babbaire bakiigaliirewo nakimo taitai olwʼokwekuuma aBaisirairi, nga mpaawo awuluka waire aingira.
2 Awo oMusengwa nʼakoba oYoswa ati, “Aale obone, mpaireyo oYeriko nʼokabaka waakyo era nʼabalwani baakyo abʼamaani omu bwezyebwo. 3 Wakumba okweruguulya ekibuga omulundi gumo nabuli lunaku nʼabalwanibo bonabona. Mwakikola okumala enaku mukaaga. 4 Wasunayo abakabona musanvu nga nabuli moiza akwaite ekondeere yʼeiziga lya ntaama omusaiza, ni beekubbemberamu eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano eya Musengwa. Oku lunaku olwomusanvu, mwakumba okweruguulya ekibuga emirundi musanvu, ngʼabakabona bafuwa amakondeere ago. 5 Owemwawulira nga bafuwa amakondeere omu magono amawanvu, abantu bonabona bakooka maaminkirira. Awo ekitempe kyʼekikomera kyʼekibuga kyagwa era abantu bonabona ni baingira buteereeri omu kibuga.”
6 Kale oYoswa omutaane wa Nuuni nʼayeta abakabona nʼabakoba ati, “Muginge eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano, era abakabona musanvu abandi bajeekubbemberemu nga bakwaite amakondeere.” 7 Era nʼalagira abantu ati, “Musimbuke! Mukumbe mweruguulye ekibuga, abalwani abali nʼebyokulwanisya beekubbemberemu eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano.”
8 OYoswa oweyamalire okulagira atyo abantu, abakabona omusanvu abakwaite amakondeere omusanvu ni beekubbemberamu, ni baaba nga bafuwa amakondeere, ngʼabakabona abagingire eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano babazwaku e nyuma. 9 Abalwani ababbaire nʼebyokulwanisya ni beekubbemberamu nga bakumba, abakabona nga bafuwa amakondeere, era abalwani abandi nga bazwaku e nyuma, bakumba basenjaaku eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano. Ekiseera ekyo kyonakyona ngʼamakondeere gavuga. 10 Neye oYoswa yabbaire alagiire abantu ati, “Timwakubba olukero, kadi okusetula amagono gaanywe, timwabbaaku kadi nʼekimutumula, paka oku lunaku owenalibalagira okuceera, kaisi ni muceera!” 11 Kale nʼabalagira okutwala eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano bajeeruguulye ekibuga omulundi gumo. Awo abantu ni bakanga omu nkambi okugona.
12 OYoswa nʼalamuka eizo amakeezikeezi era abakabona ni baginga eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano. 13 Abakabona omusanvu abakwaite amakondeere omusanvu, ni beekubbemberamu eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano, ni baaba nga batambula bafuwa amakondeere. Abalwani nga bakwaite ebyokulwanisya ni beekubbemberamu, nʼabandi nga bazwaku e nyuma ni basenjaaku eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano. Ekiseera ekyo kyonakyona ngʼamakondeere gavuga. 14 Era oku lunaku olwokubiri, ni bakumba ni beeruguulya ekibuga omulundi gumo, ni bakanga omu nkambi. Ekyo bakikolere okumala enaku mukaaga.
15 Oku lunaku olwomusanvu ni basetuka kibbambya, ni bakumba nga beeruguulya ekibuga omu ngeri enanyere eyo. Neye oku lunaku olwo ni bakyeruguulya emirundi musanvu. 16 Omu kweruguulya okwʼomulundi ogwomusanvu abakabona owebafuwire amakondeere, oYoswa nʼalagira abantu ati, “Mukubbe olukero, olwʼokubba oMusengwa abawaire ekibuga! 17 Ekibuga nʼebikirimu byonabyona muli nʼokubiwonga eeri oMusengwa babijigirice. OLakabbu omalaaya yenkani nʼabaali nabo omu nyumbaye niibo bonkani abʼokusigalawo, olwʼokubba yabisire abakeeti abetwatumire. 18 Neye mwewalire nakimo okutwalaku ebintu ebyo ebiwonge. Owemwabitwalaku, mwaleetera enkambi yʼaBaisirairi ebigosi nʼokujigirika. 19 Efeeza yonayona nʼezaabbu yonayona, nʼebintu ebya bbulonzi nʼebyʼebyoma, ibyo biwonge eeri oMusengwa, era biteekwa kwaba mwigwanikalye.”
20 Awo abakabona owebafuwire amakondeere, abantu ni baceera, era owebawuliire eigono lyʼamakondeere ni baceera ino, ekitempe ekyeruguuliriirye ekibuga ni kigwa. Kale nabuli moiza nʼavulumuka buteereeri okwingira ekibuga, era ni bakiwamba.+ 21 Ni bajigirica nabuli kyomi ekyabbaire omu kibuga nga bakolesya empiima, ekikoba kiti abasaiza nʼabakali abatobato nʼabakulu, nʼente, nʼentaama nʼempunda.
22 OYoswa nʼakoba abasaiza badi ababiri ababbaire bakeetere ekyalo ati, “Mwabe omu nyumba yʼomukali omalaaya odi mumutooleyo, iye nʼabo bonabona abaali nabo omu nyumbaye, ngʼekirayiro ekimwamulayiriire obwekyabbaire.” 23 Kale abasaiza ababbaire bakolere ogwʼokukeeta, ni baaba ni baingira ni batoolayo oLakabbu, nʼoiteeye nʼomaaye nʼabagandabe, nʼabʼolulyolwe abandi bonabona. Batoireyo abʼenyumbaye bonabona, ni babateeka okumpi nʼenkambi eyʼaBaisirairi.
24 Awo ni bayoca ekibuga kyonakyona, nʼebyakibbairemu byonabyona, neye efeeza nʼezaabbu nʼebintu ebya bbulonzi nʼebyʼekyoma ni babitwala omwigwanika lyʼenyumba ya Musengwa. 25 Neye oYoswa nʼalamya oLakabbu omalaaya nʼabʼenyumba ya iteeye, nʼabʼolulyolwe bonabona, olwʼokubba oLakabbu oyo yabisire abakeeti, oYoswa abeyatumire okukeeta oYeriko. Era abʼeibyaire lya Lakabbu bakaali bali omwIsirairi paka lwatyanu.+
26 Ekiseera ekyo oYoswa nʼakola okulabula kunu ati, “Nabuli agezyaku okwombeka obuyaaka ekibuga kinu oYeriko, asunanga ekiraami kinu okuzwa eeri oMusengwa:
Oyo akyombeka omusingi,
afiisyanga omwanawe omubere.
Nabuli akiteekamu amageeti,
afiisyanga omwanawe onankoma.”+
27 Kale oMusengwa nʼabbanga nʼoYoswa, era eitutumolye ni limalaku ekyalo ekyo kyonakyona.
