Okuwamba nʼokujigirica Ayi
1 Awo oMusengwa nʼakoba oYoswa ati, “Tiwaatya; tiwaawaamu amaani. Oyabe nʼabʼamajeebo bonabona, era oniinaniine olumbe Ayi. Ekyo kityo olwʼokubba mpaireyo okabaka owʼAyi nʼabantube nʼekibugakye nʼekyalokye omu bwezyebwo. 2 Okole Ayi nʼokabaka waakyo, ngʼewakolere oYeriko nʼokabaka waakyo. Neye oku mulundi gunu ebintu nʼebyayo byabwe mwezya okubyesigalirya ngʼomunyago gwanywe. Ekibuga mukyeteegere e nyuma waakyo.”
3 Kale oYoswa nʼabʼamajeebe bonabona, ni baaba okulumba Ayi. Nʼalondamu abasaizabe abakira okulwana 30,000, nʼabasindika obwire, 4 nʼabawa ebiragiro binu: “Muwulisisye nakusani. Ekibuga muli nʼokukyeteegera e nyuma waakyo okukirumba. Timwakibba yalayala. Nywenanywena mubbe bulindaala. 5 Nze nʼabo bonabona abenaabba nabo, twalumba ekibuga, kaisi abantu owebaazwayo okutulwanisya ngʼowebakolere ku ludi twabairuka. 6 Baiza nga batubbinga, paka nga tubabbeegereirye bazwire omu kibuga olwʼokubba baseega bati tubairukire ngʼowetwakolere olwasookere. Kale owetwabba nga tuli kubairuka, 7 awo inywe mwasetuka e gimukyeteegeire. OMusengwa iye oKibbumba waanywe yakiwaayo omu bwezye bwanywe. 8 Owemwamala okukiwamba, mukikumeku omusyo, ngʼoMusengwa oweyalagiire. Mubone nga mukola ebimbalagiire.”
9 Awo oYoswa nʼabasindika, ni baaba e gibabbaire nʼokukyeteegera, ni babba eeyo e bugwaisana waakyo aakati wʼe Bbeseri nʼAyi. Neye oYoswa ekiire ekyo nʼakimala nʼabantu omu nkambi.
10 Eizo amakeezikeezi oYoswa nʼasetuka, nʼayeta abalwani, ni bakumbaana. Awo iye ngʼali nʼabeekubbemberi ba Isirairi, ni babeekubbemberamu ni balumba Ayi. 11 Abalwani bonabona ababbaire naye ni baaba baigerera okumpi nʼekibuga, ni bakola enkambi e mambuka wʼAyi, nga waliwo ekiinamo aakati waabwe nʼekibuga. 12 OYoswa yabbaire alagiire abalwani kumpi 5,000, okwaba okweteegera ekibuga aakati wʼe Bbeseri nʼAyi, e bugwaisana wʼAyi. 13 Abalwani ni babategeka omu bifo byabwe, ekikoba kiti, badi bonabona abʼokubba omu nkambi e mambuka wʼekibuga, nʼabakyeteegera e bugwaisana waakyo. OYoswa ekiire ekyo nʼayaba mu kiinamo.
14 Awo okabaka wʼAyi oweyaboine abalwani ba Isirairi, iye nʼabalwanibe bonabona abʼomu kibuga ni banguwa mangu, ni baaba amakeezikeezi omu kifo ekiraagaane ekiringiriire ekiinamo Alabba okulwanisya aBaisirairi. Neye okabaka oyo yabbaire tamaite ati waliwo abamweteegeire e nyuma wʼekibuga. 15 OYoswa nʼaBaisirairi bonabona ni beekolesya ooti-so badi babaiririirye, ni bairuka balungama omwIdungu. 16 Okabaka wʼAyi nʼayeta abalwanibe bonabona okulukutya oYoswa nʼabalwanibe era owebabbaire babalukutya badi ni bababbeegererya okwabirira okuzwa omu kibuga ekyo. 17 Tiwasigairekuumu omuntu yenayena omwAyi ooba e Bbeseri anandi nʼayaba okulukutya aBaisirairi. Balekere ekibuga nga kiigule ni baaba okulukutya aBaisirairi.
18 Awo oMusengwa nʼakoba oYoswa ati, “Eisimo eryo eryokwaite oliringirirye Ayi, olwʼokubba ekibuga ekyo nʼakiwaayo omu bwezyebwo.” Kale oYoswa nʼakwata eisimolye nʼaliringirirya Ayi. 19 Kasita oYoswa yakolere ekyo, ababbaire bakyeteegeire ni basetuka mangu e gibabbaire, ni bavulumuka okuzwayo. Baingiire omu kibuga era ni bakiwamba, amangu eino ni bakikumaku omusyo.
20 Abalwani bʼAyi owebalolereku e nyuma ni babona omwosi omu kibuga nga guduunya okwaba angulu, ni bakayaku awokwirukira, olwʼokubba aBaisirairi ababbaire bairuka nga balungama omwidungu, bona nga babacuukiire okubalukutya. 21 Era oYoswa nʼaBaisirairi bonabona owebaboine abantu baabwe, ababbaire beeteegeire ekibuga nga bakiwambire era nga kiduunya omwosi, bacuukire ni balumba abasaiza abʼAyi. 22 NʼaBaisirairi abeeteegeire ekibuga, bona ni bazwa omu kibuga ni babalumba. Olwo-so ni bakwatira abʼAyi aakati, ngʼaBaisirairi babazingizire, ni babaita bonabona, nandi wasigalawo kadi moiza, waire asodoka. 23 Neye okabaka wʼAyi bamuwambire nga mwomi, era ni bamutwala eeri oYoswa.
24 Awo aBaisirairi owebamalire okwita abalwani bʼAyi bonabona ababbaire omwidungu e gibabbaire babbingiire aBaisirairi, aBaisirairi ni bairayo omwAyi, ni baita nabuli muntu eyabbairemu. 25 Abantu abʼomwAyi abasaiza nʼabakali, babbaire 12,000 bonabona abebaitire oku lunaku olwo. 26 OYoswa tiyaicirye ansi engaloye eyabbaire ekwaite eisimo paka owebamalire okuwonga eeri oMusengwa bonabona ababbaire omwAyi nga babajigirica. 27 Era aBaisirairi ni batwala ebyayo nʼebintu ebindi ebyʼekibuga ekyo ebibanyagire, ngʼoMusengwa oweyabbaire alagiire oYoswa.
28 Awo oYoswa nʼayoca Ayi, nʼakireka mbiiryo wʼebiwumpu, ikyo ekinameje ekikaali ekityo paka lwatyanu. 29 Nʼaita okabaka wʼAyi nʼamwanika oku musaale nʼamuleka okwo paka igulo. Eisana nga ligwa, nʼalagira ni baanulayo omulambogwe, ni bagumuma oku geeti yʼekibuga. Era ni bagubbiiryaku ombiiryo omunene owʼamabbaale, akaali aliwo paka lwatyanu.
OYoswa airya obuyaaka endagaano
30 Awo oYoswa nʼayombekera oMusengwa iye oKibbumba wa Isirairi ekyoto oku Lusozi Ebbali,+ 31 ngʼoMusa omuweererya wa Musengwa oweyabbaire alagiire aBaisirairi. Yakyombekere kusinzirira ngʼowebakiwandiikire omu Kitabo kyʼaMateeka ga Musa bati, “Ekyoto ekyʼamabbaale agatali mabaizeku nʼekitema ekyʼekyoma kyonakyona.” Kwikyo gibaweereireku oMusengwa esadaaka egibooca yonayona, nʼesadaaka eyʼokusyania.+ 32 Eeyo, aBaisirairi nga babona, oYoswa nʼawandiika oku mabbaale ngʼakoopolola amateeka oMusa ageyabbaire awandiikire. 33 ABaisirairi bonabona, nʼabanamawanga, nʼabatyami kitabulye, nʼabeekubbemberi baabwe nʼabakungu era nʼabalamuzi, ni beemerera oku lubba nʼolubba olwʼeSanduuku yʼeNdagaano ya Musengwa. Babbaire balingiriire abo ababbaire abagigingire nga niibo abakabona nago aBaleevi. Ekitundu kyʼabantu ekindi kyemereire omumaiso gʼoLusozi oGerizimu, nʼekitundu ekindi ni kyemerera omumaiso gʼolusozi Ebbali, ngʼoMusa omuweererya wa Kibbumba oweyabbaire alagiire enyumaku ngʼawa endagirira yʼokusabira aBaisirairi enkabi.
34 Oluzwanyuma, oYoswa nʼasoma ebibono byonabyona ebyʼamateeka nga niibyo ebibono ebyʼenkabi nʼebyʼebiraami, ngʼowebabiwandiikire omu Kitabo kyʼaMateeka. 35 Tiwabbairewo kibono kyonakyona kwebyo oMusa ebiyabbaire alagiire, oYoswa ekinandi nʼasomera olukumbaana lwonalwona olwʼaBaisirairi, omulimu abakali nʼabaana, nʼabanamawanga ababbaire mwibo.+
