Numbers 32
1 And the sons of Ruben and Gad had many flocks of cattle, and their substance in beasts was infinite. And when they saw the lands of Jazer and Galaad fit for feeding cattle,
Batabani ba Lewubeeni ne batabani ba Gaadi baalina amagana g’ente n’ebisibo by’endiga; ebisolo byabwe nga bingi nnyo. Baatunuulira ensi ya Yazeri n’ensi ya Gireyaadi, ne balaba ng’ekitundu ekyo kituufu okulundiramu ebisolo byabwe.
2 They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:
Ne bajja awali Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona, n’eri abakulembeze b’ekibiina ne babagamba nti,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Ebitundu bino: Atalisi, ne Diboni, ne Yazeri, ne Nimula, ne Kesuboni, ne Ereyale, ne Sebamu, ne Nebo ne Beoni,
4 The land, which the Lord hath conquered in the sight of the children of Israel, is a very fertile soil for the feeding of beasts: and we thy servants have very much cattle:
bye bitundu by’ensi Mukama Katonda gye yawangulira mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri, nsi nnungi okulundiramu; ate ng’abaweereza bammwe tulina ebisolo byaffe bingi.”
5 And we pray thee, if we have found favour in thy sight, that thou give it to us thy servants in possession, and make us not pass over the Jordan.
Ne bagamba nti, “Bwe kuba nga kwe kusiima kwammwe, mukkirize ebitundu by’ensi bino bituweebwe, ffe abaweereza bammwe, bibeere obutaka bwaffe. Temutusomosa Yoludaani.”
6 And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will you sit here?
Musa n’agamba batabani ba Gaadi ne batabani ba Lewubeeni nti, “Mwagala baganda bammwe bagende batabaale, nga mmwe mwetuulidde wano?
7 Why do ye overturn the minds of the children of Israel, that they may not dare to pass into the place which the Lord hath given them?
Lwaki abaana ba Isirayiri mwagala okubamalamu amaanyi mu mitima gyabwe mubalemese okuyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda gy’abawadde?
8 Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the land?
Ne bakadde bammwe bwe baakola bwe nabatuma okuva e Kadesubanea okuketta ensi.
9 And when they were come as far as the valley of the cluster, having viewed all the country, they overturned the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not enter into the coasts, which the Lord gave them.
Kubanga bwe baayambuka mu Kiwonvu ekya Esukoli, ensi ne bagiraba, ne bayeengebula emitima gy’abaana ba Isirayiri baleme okugenda okuyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda gye yali abawadde.
10 And he swore in his anger, saying:
Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuuka ku lunaku olwo, n’alayira nti,
11 If these men, that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land, which I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: because they would not follow me,
‘Olw’okubanga tebaŋŋondedde n’omutima gwabwe gwonna, tewalibaawo n’omu ku basajja ab’emyaka okuva ku myaka makumi abiri okweyongerayo egy’obukulu, abaasimbuka okuva mu Misiri, aliraba ku nsi gye nalayira okuwa Ibulayimu ne Isaaka ne Yakobo;
12 Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will.
tewalibaawo n’omu okuggyako Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune Omukenizi, ne Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, kubanga abo baagondera Mukama Katonda n’omutima gwabwe gwonna.’
13 And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed.
Obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubuubuukira Isirayiri, n’abatambuliza mu ddungu okumala emyaka amakumi ana, okutuusa omulembe gw’abo abaasobya mu maaso ga Mukama lwe gwaggweerera.
14 And behold, said he, you are risen up instead of your fathers, the increase and offspring of sinful men, to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.
“Kale nno mmwe muli bazzukulu baabwe, batabani b’abakozi b’ebibi, nga mwongera okunakuwaza Mukama Katonda anyiigire Isirayiri!
15 For if you will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, and you shall be the cause of the destruction of all.
Kubanga singa mumukuba amabega ne mutakola by’ayagala ne mutamugoberera, abantu be ajja kwongera okubeesammulako, nate abaleke mu ddungu omulundi ogwokubiri, era bwe balizikirira mwe mulibaako obuvunaanyizibwa obwo.”
16 But they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children:
Ne bamusemberera ne bamuddamu nti, “Twagala tuzimbe wano ebiraalo eby’ebisibo by’ebisolo byaffe, tuzimbe n’ebigo eby’abaana baffe abato.
17 And we ourselves will go armed and ready for battle before the children of Israel, until we bring them in unto their places. Our little ones, and all we have, shall be in walled cities, for fear of the ambushes of the inhabitants.
Naye ffe tubagalire ebyokulwanyisa, tukulembere abaana ba Isirayiri tubatuuse mu bifo byabwe. Olwo abaana baffe abato balisigala mu bibuga bye tuzimbyeko ebigo ebinywevu, kubanga mu nsi muno mulimu abantu baamu.
18 We will not return into our houses until the children of Israel possess their inheritance:
Tetugenda kudda mu maka gaffe okutuusa ng’abaana ba Isirayiri buli omu amaze okuweebwa obutaka bwe.
19 Neither will we seek any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,
Ffe tetugenda kugabana nabo ku butaka obwo obuli emitala wa Yoludaani n’okweyongerayo; kubanga obutaka bwaffe tuliba tubufunye ku ludda luno olwa Buvanjuba bwa Yoludaani.”
20 And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:
Awo Musa n’abagamba nti, “Bwe munaakola bwe mutyo, ne mukwata ebyokulwanyisa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda nga mwetegekedde olutalo,
21 And let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies:
ne musomoka Yoludaani n’ebyokulwanyisa byammwe mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, okutuusa ng’agobye abalabe be mu maaso ge,
22 And all the land be brought under him, then shall you be blameless before the Lord and before Israel, and you shall obtain the countries that you desire, before the Lord.
n’ensi ng’ewanguddwa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, olwo muliyinza okukomawo nga temuliiko kya kuvunaanyizibwa eri Mukama n’eri Isirayiri. Ekitundu ky’ensi kino ne kibeera omugabo gwammwe mu maaso ga Mukama.
23 But if you do not what you say, no man can doubt but you sin against God: and know ye, that your sin shall overtake you.
“Naye bwe mutalikola bwe mutyo, muliba musobezza nnyo awali Mukama Katonda, era mutegeerere ddala ng’ekibi kyammwe ekyo kiribayigga ne kibakwasa.
24 Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish what you have promised.
Kale muzimbire abaana bammwe abato ebibuga eby’ebigo ebinywevu, n’ebisolo byammwe mubizimbire ebiraalo, era mukole n’ebyo bye musuubizza.”
25 And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.
Abaana ba Gaadi n’abaana ba Lewubeeni ne bagamba Musa nti, “Ffe abaweereza bo tujja kukola nga ggwe mukama waffe bw’otulagidde.
26 We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:
Abaana baffe abato ne bakazi baffe, n’ebisibo byaffe eby’endiga n’ebiraalo byaffe eby’ente byonna bijja kusigala wano mu bibuga bya Gireyaadi.
27 And we thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.
Naye abaweereza bo, buli musajja eyeewaddeyo okutabaala ajja kusomoka alwanire mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, nga ggwe mukama waffe bw’ogambye.”
28 Moses therefore commanded Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families of all the tribes of Israel, and said to them:
Awo Musa n’abawaako ebiragiro eri Eriyazaali kabona, n’eri Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, n’eri abakulembeze b’empya ez’omu bika by’abaana ba Isirayiri.
29 If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben pass with you over the Jordan, all armed for war before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you: give them Galaad in possession.
Musa n’agamba nti, “Batabani ba Gaadi ne batabani ba Lewubeeni, buli musajja eyeetegese okutabaala mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, bwe balisomoka nammwe Yoludaani, n’ensi eri mu maaso gammwe n’ewangulwa, kale mubawanga ensi ya Gireyaadi okubeera omugabo gw’obutaka bwabwe.
30 But if they will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.
Naye bwe basomokanga nammwe nga tebalina byakulwanyisa, kale baligabanira wamu nammwe eby’obutaka bwabwe mu nsi ya Kanani.”
31 And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will we do:
Batabani ba Gaadi ne batabani ba Lewubeeni ne baddamu nti, “Ffe abaweereza bo tujja kukola nga Mukama bw’atugambye.
32 We will go armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and we confess that we have already received our possession beyond the Jordan.
Tujja kusomokera mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda tuyingire mu nsi ya Kanani nga twesibye ebyokulwanyisa, naye omugabo gwaffe ogw’obutaka bwaffe gujja kusigala ku ludda luno olwa Yoludaani.”
33 Moses therefore gave to the children of Cad and of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasses the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and their land and the cities thereof round about.
Awo Musa n’abagabira, abaana ba Gaadi n’abaana ba Lewubeeni, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase mutabani wa Yusufu, obwakabaka bwa Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli, n’obwakabaka bwa Ogi kabaka w’e Basani, n’abawa ensi n’ebibuga byamu, n’amatwale gaayo n’ebibuga byamu ebigyetoolodde.
34 And the sons of Cad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Batabani ba Gaadi ne bazimba ebibuga bino: Diboni, ne Atalosi, ne Aloweri,
35 And Etroth, and Sophan, and Jazer, and Jegbaa,
ne Aterosi Sofani, ne Yazeri, ne Yogubeka;
36 And Bethnemra, and Betharan, fenced cities, and folds for their cattle.
ne Besu Nimira, ne Besu Kalaani, nga bye bibuga ebiriko ebigo ebinywevu, ne bakola n’ebisibo by’ebisolo byabwe.
37 But the children of Ruben built Hesebon, and Eleale, and Cariathaim,
Batabani ba Lewubeeni ne bazimba ebibuga bino: Kesuboni, ne Ereyale, ne Kiriyasayimu,
38 And Nabo, and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Sabama: giving names to the cities which they had built.
ne Nebo, ne Baalu Myoni (amannya gaabyo gaakyusibwa), ne Sibima. Ebibuga bye baddaabiriza baabituuma amannya malala.
39 Moreover the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, went into Galaad, and wasted it, cutting off the Amorrhites, the inhabitants thereof.
Abaana ba Makiri, mutabani wa Manase, ne bagenda e Gireyaadi, ensi eyo ne bagiwamba, ne bagobamu Abamoli abaagibeerangamu.
40 And Moses gave the land of Galaad to Machir the son of Manasses, and he dwelt in it.
Bw’atyo Musa n’awa Gireyaadi, Makiri mutabani wa Manase, n’atuula omwo.
41 And Jair the son of Manasses went, and took the villages thereof, and he called them Havoth Jair, that is to say, the villages of Jair.
Yayiri mutabani wa Manase n’agenda ne yeetwalira obubuga obutonotono, n’abutuuma Kavosu Yayiri.
42 Nobe also went, and took Canath with the villages thereof: and he called it by his own name, Nobe.
Ne Noba naye n’awamba Kenasi n’obwalo obukyetoolodde, n’akituuma Noba erinnya lye.
