1 Omu biseera ebyo, oIsirairi yabbaire abula okabaka. Era omu naku egyo ekika kya Daani kyabbaire kinoonia ekifo ekyʼokutyamamu, olwʼokubba omu bika bya Isirairi ibo babbaire tibasunanga omuwuluko ogwabwe. 2 Awo abʼomu kika kya Daani bonabona ni beerondamu abasaiza bataanu abalwani, ababbaire bazwera omu Zola nʼomwEsitawoli okwaba okukeeta nʼokwetegereza ekyalo ekibatyamamu. Era ni babakoba bati, “Mwabe mwetegereze ekyalo ekyo.” Owebatuukire omu kyalo kyʼEfulaimu ekyʼensozisozi, omu maka ga Miika ni bagonayo. 3 Owebabbaire okumpi nʼenyumba ya Miika, ni bawulira era ni beetegereza entumula yʼomwisuka oMuleevi, ni baaba e gyali, ni bamubuulya bati, “Naani eyakuleetere aanu? Okola niiki aanu? Era lwaki oli aanu?”
4 Omwisuka oyo nʼabakobera oMiika ekiyabbaire amukoleire ati, “Yampangisirye era ndi kabonawe.”
5 Awo ni bamukoba bati, “Tukwegairiire, obuulye oKibbumba atumanyikisye ooba ngʼolugendo lwaiswe lwabba lusa.”
6 Okabona nʼabakoba ati, “Mwabe mwidembe, oMusengwa yabakubbembera omu lugendo lwanywe.”
7 Awo abasaiza abo abataanu ni baaba, ni batuuka omu kibuga oLaisi, ni babona ngʼabantu baayo bali mwidembe ngʼabʼe Sidoni owebabbaire. Babbaire babula ekibeeraliikirirya, nga bali mwidembe, era nga bali nabuli ekibeetaaga. Babbaire batyama yala ino okuzwa e giri aBasidoni, era nga mpaawo bantu bandi abebakolagana nabo.
8 Abasaiza abo abataanu owebakangire e Zola, nʼEsitawoli, abantu baabwe ni bababuulya ebibavumbwire.
9 Abasaiza abo ni bairamu bati, “Musetuke, twabe tulumbe ekibuga oLaisi. Ekyalo tumalire okukibona, kisa ino. Muli nʼokubbaaku nʼekimukolawo. Timwagayaala! Mwabe mukiwambe. 10 Owemwatuukayo, mwajirya abantu nga mpaawo kibeekengera. Ekyalo kigalami era kirimu nabuli kintu omuntu ekiyeetaaga. OKibbumba akibawaire okukyetwalira.”
11 Awo abasaiza 600 abʼomu kika kya Daani nga bakwaite ebyokulwanisya ni basimbuka okuzwa e Zola nʼEsitawoli. 12 Baabire ni bakola enkambi yaabwe e bugwaisana wa Kiriyaasi Yeyalimu omu Buyudaaya. Kagira ekifo ekyo bakyeta Makane Daani* paka lwatyanu. 13 Ni bazwa aawo, ni baaba omu kyalo kyʼEfulaimu ekyʼensozisozi, ni batuuka omu kisito kya Miika.
14 Awo abasaiza abataanu ababbaire baabire okukeeta ekyalo kyʼe Laisi, ni bakoba abainaabwe bati, “Mubbaire mumaite ngʼemoiza oku nyumba ginu erimu eitaawo eryʼokusinza nʼebifaananyi ebyʼokusinza, nʼekifaananyi ekiyeese ekyʼabakibbumba, nʼekifaananyi ekyʼokusinza ekibbumbe omu feeza egibasaanuucirye? Kale atyanu musalewo ekyokukola.” 15 Awo ni baingira omu nyumba ya Miika, omwisuka oMuleevi omuyaabbanga, ni bamusugirya. 16 Atyanu abasaiza 600 abʼomu kika kya Daani ababbaire nʼebyokulwanisya, babbaire beemereire oku geeti. 17 Abasaiza abataanu ababbaire baabire okukeeta ekyalo ni baingira omu nyumba, ni batoola ekifaananyi ekyʼokusinza ekiyeese, nʼeitaawo eryʼokusinza nʼebifaananyi ebyʼokusinza nʼekifaananyi ekyʼabakibbumba ekibbumbe omu feeza egibasaanuucirye, ngʼokabona† ayemereire oku geeti, aamo nʼabasaiza 600 ababbaire nʼebyokulwanisya.
18 Atyanu abasaiza abataanu abo owebaingiire omu nyumba ya Miika, ni batoola ekifaananyi ekyʼokusinza ekiyeese, nʼeitaawo eryʼokusinza nʼebifaananyi ebyʼokusinza nʼekifaananyi ekyʼabakibbumba ekibbumbe omu feeza egibasaanuucirye, iye okabona nʼababuulya ati, “Mukola niki?”
19 Ni bamwiramu bati: “Osirike, tiwatumula ekibono kyonakyona! Oize twabe, obbe ngʼoitewaiswe era okabona waiswe. Tikikiraku okubba okabona wʼeigwanga era owʼekika omwIsirairi, omu kifo kyʼokubba okabona wʼekisito kyʼomuntu omoiza?” 20 Awo okabona nʼasangaala, nʼakwata eitaawo eryʼokusinza nʼebifaananyi nago, nʼekifaananyi ekiyeese ekyʼabakibbumba, nʼekifaananyi ekibbumbe omu feeza egibasaanuucirye, nʼayaba aamo nʼabantu abo. 21 Awo ni bacuuka okwaba nga ibo bazwaku nyuma wʼabaana baabwe nʼebyayo byabwe nʼemigugu gyabwe.
22 Owebabbaire baabiriire okuzwa omu maka ga Miika, oMiika nʼayeta abaliranwabe, ni babasenjaaku era ni batuuka oku bʼekika kya Daani, 23 ni bayaminkirira, abʼekika kya Daani ni bacuuka ni balola e nyuma, ni babuulya oMiika bati, “Lwaki otusenjaaku nʼekiziima ekityo?”
24 OMiika nʼairamu ati, “Mukwaite ebifaananyi byange ebyʼokusinza ebinakolere nʼokabona wange ni mwaba nabyo ni nsigaliraawo kyereere! Tete mubba mutya okumbuulya muti, ‘Obbaire otya?’ ”
25 Abʼomu kika kya Daani ni bamukoba bati, “Osirike, demba abasaiza banu abakambwe ni bakulumba ni bakwita nʼabʼomu makaago.” 26 Kale abʼekika kya Daani ni beeyabira, era oMiika oweyaboine nga bamukirira nakimo ino amaani, nʼacuuka nʼakanga e wuwe.
27 Awo abʼekika kya Daani ni batwala ebintu bya Miika ebiyabbaire akolere, nʼokabonawe, ni baaba balumba oLaisi, ekibuga ekyʼabantu ababula ekibeeraliikirirya era abali omwidembe, ni babalumba nʼempiima, era ni booca ekibuga kyʼabantu abo. 28 Tiwabbairewo muntu yenayena okubataasa, olwʼokubba oLaisi kyabbaire yala ino nʼoSidoni, era ngʼabaayo mpaawo bantu bandi abebakolagana nabo. Ekibuga ekyo kyabbaire mu kiinamo ekiriranire oBbesi Lekobbu.
Era abʼekika kya Daani ni bombeka buyaaka ekibuga, era ni bakityamamu. 29 Era ni bakiwa eriina bati Daani eriina lya zeiza waabwe eyabbaire omutaane wa Isirairi waire ngʼeriina lyʼekibuga ekyo enyumaku lyabbaire Laisi. 30 Eeyo abʼekika kya Daani ni beeteekerayo ekifaananyi kidi ekiyeese era oYonasani omutaane wa Geresomu, era omwizukulu wa Musa nʼabba kabona waabwe. Iye nʼabataanebe, ni babba bakabona bʼabʼekika kya Daani, paka owebatwaire abantu omu buwambe. 31 Kale beeyongeire nga basinza ekifaananyi ekyo oMiika ekiyayeesere, eibbanga lyonalyona eWeema ya Kibbumba oweyabbereirewo omu Siiro.
