1And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel. 2And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 3The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said. 4And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed. 5And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you. 6Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
7¶ And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 8And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
9¶ And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel. 10And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, 11When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: 13And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
14¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation. 15And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
16¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.31.16 sleep: Heb. lie down 17Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?31.17 befall: Heb. find 18And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods. 19Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. 20For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant. 21And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.31.21 against: Heb. before31.21 go…: Heb. do
22¶ Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. 23And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
24¶ And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, 25That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, 26Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 27For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
28¶ Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. 29For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. 30And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
Musa Alaamiriza Yoswa
1Awo Musa n’agenda n’abuulira Isirayiri yonna ebigambo bino, n’agamba nti, 231:2 a Ma 34:7 b Kbl 27:17; 1Bk 3:7 c Ma 3:23, 26“Olwa leero mpezezza emyaka kikumi mu abiri egy’obukulu; sikyalina maanyi kusobola kufuluma na kuyingira nga bwe njagala. Sikyasobola kubakulembera. Mukama Katonda antegeezezza nti, ‘Togenda kusomoka mugga guno Yoludaani.’ 331:3 a Kbl 27:18 b Ma 9:3 c Ma 3:28Mukama Katonda wo yennyini y’ajja okukukulembera mu kusomoka. Ajja kuzikiriza amawanga ago agali emitala, nga naawe olaba, olyoke obatwaleko ensi yaabwe. Yoswa yennyini naye yajja okukukulembera mu kusomoka, nga Mukama bwe yagambye. 4Era nga Mukama Katonda bwe yakola Sikoni ne Ogi, bakabaka b’Abamoli n’ensi yaabwe, n’abazikiriza, ne bano bw’alibakola. 531:5 Ma 7:2Mukama Katonda agenda kubagabula gye muli, era kiribagwanira okubakolako nga mugobererera ddala ebiragiro byange bye mbawadde nga bwe biri. 631:6 a Yos 10:25; 1By 22:13 b Ma 7:18 c Ma 1:29; 20:4 d Yos 1:5 e Beb 13:5*Beera n’amaanyi era ogume omwoyo. Tobatya wadde okubatekemukira, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo anaagendanga naawe buli w’onoddanga, taakulekenga so taakwabulirenga.” 731:7 Ma 1:38; 3:28Awo Musa n’atumya Yoswa n’amugambira mu maaso ga Isirayiri yenna nti, “Beera wa maanyi era ogume omwoyo; kubanga gw’ojja okugenda n’abantu bano mu nsi Mukama Katonda gye yalayirira bajjajjaabwe okugibawa; era gw’ogenda okugibasalirasaliramu ogibakwase okuba obusika bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira. 831:8 Kuv 13:21; 33:14Mukama Katonda yennyini y’ajjanga okukukulemberanga. Anaabanga naawe bulijjo, taakulekenga so taakwabulirenga. Totya so totekemuka.”
Amateeka Ganaasomwanga Buli Mwaka ogw’Omusanvu
931:9 nny 25; Kbl 4:15; Yos 3:3Awo Musa n’awandiika amateeka ago, n’agakwasa batabani ba Leevi, bakabona, abaasitulanga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano eya Mukama Katonda, era n’awaako n’abakadde bonna abakulembeze b’abaana ba Isirayiri. 1031:10 a Ma 15:1 b Lv 23:34Musa n’abalagira bw’ati nti, “Ku buli nkomerero ya myaka musanvu, mu mwaka omutegeke ogusonyiyirwamu amabanja, era nga y’Embaga ey’Ensiisira, 1131:11 a Ma 16:16 b Yos 8:34-35; 2Bk 23:2Isirayiri yenna nga bazze okulabika mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo mu kifo ky’aneeronderanga, onoosomeranga Isirayiri yenna amateeka gano gonna nga bawulira. 1231:12 Ma 4:10Okuŋŋaanyanga31:12 Ye mbaga yokka eyabeerangako abakyala n’abaana, nga bazze okuwuliriza ebyasomebwanga mu Mateeka. abantu: abasajja, n’abakazi, n’abaana, ne bannamawanga abanaaberanga mu bibuga byo, balyoke bawulirizenga era bayigenga okutya Mukama Katonda wammwe, era bagobererenga n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna ebiri mu mateeka gano. 1331:13 Ma 11:2; Zab 78:6-7Bwe batyo abaana baabwe abataamanyanga mateeka gano, balyoke bagawulire bayigenga okutyanga Mukama Katonda wammwe, obulamu bwammwe bwonna bwe mulimala nga muli mu nsi gye mugenda okusomokera omugga Yoludaani okugirya.”
Ebiragiro bya Mukama Ebyasembayo eri Musa
1431:14 Kbl 27:13; Ma 32:49-50Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Obudde bwo obw’okufa busembedde. Yita Yoswa, mujje mu Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.”
1531:15 Kuv 33:9Awo Mukama Katonda n’alabikira mu Weema ng’ali mu mpagi ey’ekire; empagi ey’ekire n’eyimirira waggulu w’omulyango gw’Eweema. 1631:16 a Bal 2:12 b Bal 10:6, 13Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Mu bbanga ttono ojja kugalamira ne bajjajjaabo. Olwo abantu bano nga batandika okusinzanga bakatonda abalala abalibeera mu bo, nga be bakatonda ab’omu nsi eyo mwe bajja okuyingira. Bagenda kunvaako bamenye endagaano gye nakola nabo. 1731:17 a Bal 2:14, 20 b Bal 6:13; 2By 15:2 c Ma 32:20; Is 1:15; 8:17 d Kbl 14:42Ku lunaku olwo obusungu bwange bulibabuubuukirako, nange ndibakisa amaaso gange, ne babeera bangu okuzikirizibwa, era ebizibu bingi n’emitawaana biribajjira. Ku lunaku olwo balyebuuza nti, ‘Emitawaana gino tegitutuseeko lwa kubanga Katonda waffe tali wakati mu ffe?’ 18Ku lunaku olwo ndikwekera ddala amaaso gange olw’ebibi byonna bye banaabanga bakoze nga bakyukidde bakatonda abalala.
19“Kale nno kaakano wandiika oluyimba luno oluyigirize abaana ba Isirayiri, olubayimbisenga, lulyoke lubeerenga omujulizi wange ku baana ba Isirayiri. 2031:20 a Ma 6:10-12 b Ma 32:15-17 c nny 16Kubanga bwe ndimala okubaleeta mu nsi omukulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, gye nasuubiza bajjajjaabwe nga ngibalayirira, ne balya ne bakkuta ne bagejja, balikyukira bakatonda abalala ne babasinza nga babaweereza, ne bannyooma ne bamenya endagaano yange. 2131:21 a nny 17 b Kos 5:3Obubenje obw’akabi bwe bunaabajjiranga, oluyimba luno lunaabasoomozanga ng’omujulizi nga lubalumiriza, kubanga bazzukulu baabwe banaabanga bakyalulina mu kamwa kaabwe nga tebannalwerabira. Kubanga mmanyi bye balowooza okukola nga n’okubatuusa sinnaba kubatuusa mu nsi gye nabasuubiza nga ngibalayirira.” 2231:22 nny 19Bw’atyo, ku lunaku olwo, Musa n’awandiika oluyimba luno n’aluyigiriza abaana ba Isirayiri.
2331:23 a nny 7 b Yos 1:6Awo Mukama n’awa Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ekiragiro kino ng’agamba nti, “Beera wa maanyi era guma omwoyo, kubanga ggw’oliyingiza abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi gye nabasuubiza nga ngibalayirira; era nange nnaabeeranga naawe.”
24Musa bwe yamala okuwandiika mu Kitabo ebigambo eby’amateeka gano, okubiggya ku ntandikwa okubituusa ku nkomerero, 25Musa n’alagira Abaleevi abaasitulanga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano eya Mukama, ng’agamba nti, 2631:26 nny 19“Mutwale Ekitabo ky’Amateeka kino mukiteeke awali Essanduuko ey’Endagaano eya Mukama Katonda wammwe, kibeerenga awo ng’omujulirwa gy’oli. 2731:27 Kuv 32:9; Ma 9:6, 24Kubanga nkumanyi nga bw’oli omujeemu era alina ensingo enkakanyavu. Obanga mubadde mujeemera Mukama Katonda nga nkyaliwo nammwe, kale nga mmaze okufa okujeema kwammwe tekuusingewo nnyo! 2831:28 Ma 4:26; 30:19; 32:1Munkuŋŋaanyize wano abakadde b’ebika byammwe abakulembeze bammwe bonna, njogere ebigambo bino mu matu gaabwe nga bawulira; era mpita eggulu n’ensi bibeere abajulirwa okubalumiriza. 2931:29 a Ma 32:5; Bal 2:19 b Ma 28:15Kubanga mmanyi nga bwe nnaamala okufa mujja kwefaafaaganyiza ddala nga mukyama okuleka ekkubo lye mbalagidde okukwatanga. Mu biseera ebijja emitawaana gijjanga kubajjira, nga mukoze ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda mulyoke mumusunguwaze olw’ebyo emikono gyammwe bye ginaabanga gikoze.”
Oluyimba Mukama lwe yalagira Musa
30Awo Musa n’ayogera, ebigambo by’oluyimba luno okuluggya ku ntandikwa yaalwo n’okulutuusa ku nkomerero ng’ekibiina kya Isirayiri yenna kiwulira.
