Yaladi Kizikirizibwa
121:1 a Kbl 33:40; Yos 12:14 b Bal 1:9, 16Kabaka Omukanani ow’e Yaladi eyatuulanga mu bukiikaddyo, n’awulira nga Isirayiri ajjira mu kkubo lya Asalimu, n’alumba Isirayiri n’amulwanyisa n’awambamu abamu ku bo. 2Awo Isirayiri ne yeeyama eri Mukama Katonda obweyamo buno nti, “Bw’onoogabula abantu bano mu mukono gwaffe, ne tubawangula, ebibuga byabwe tulibizikiririza ddala.” 3Mukama Katonda n’awulira okwegayirira kw’Abayisirayiri, Abakanani n’abawaayo eri Abayisirayiri, ne bazikiriza ebibuga byabwe; ekifo ekyo ne kituumibwa erinnya Koluma.
Omusota Ogw’Ekikomo
421:4 a Kbl 20:22 b Ma 2:8; Bal 11:18Ne basitula okuva ku lusozi Koola, ne bakwata ekkubo eriraga ku Nnyanja Emyufu, balyoke beetooloole ensi ya Edomu. Abantu nga bali ku lugendo olwo ne batandika okuggwaamu obugumiikiriza. 521:5 a Zab 78:19 b Kbl 14:2, 3 c Kbl 11:6Ne beemulugunyiza Musa ne Katonda nga boogera nti, “Lwaki mwatuggya mu Misiri okufiira wano mu malungu? Kubanga temuli mmere; so temuli mazzi; n’obumere buno bwe tufuna tubwetamiddwa.”
621:6 a Ma 8:15; Yer 8:17 b 1Ko 10:9Awo Mukama n’asindikira abantu emisota emikambwe egy’obusagwa, ne gibojja abantu, era abaana ba Isirayiri bangi ne bafa. 721:7 a Zab 78:34; Kos 5:15 b Kuv 8:8; Bik 8:24 c Kbl 11:2Abantu ne bajja awali Musa, ne bamugamba nti, “Twayonoona bwe twakwemulugunyiza ne twemulugunyiza ne Mukama Katonda, ne tuboogerako bubi. Tusaba weegayirire Mukama atuggyeko emisota gino.” Musa n’asabira abantu.
821:8 Yk 3:14Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Kolayo omusota ogufaanana nga giri emikambwe egy’obusagwa oguwanike ku mulongooti; buli anaabojjebwanga omusota, n’agutunulako, anaawonanga.” 921:9 a 2Bk 18:4 b Yk 3:14-15Awo Musa n’aweesa omusota ogw’ekikomo, n’aguwanika ku mulongooti. Kale buli eyabojjebwanga omusota n’atunula ku musota ogw’ekikomo, ng’awona, ng’aba mulamu.
Olugendo Olwabatuusa mu Mowaabu
1021:10 Kbl 33:43Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne basitula ne batambula okutuuka mu Yebosi, ne basiisira omwo. 1121:11 Kbl 33:44Ne basitula okuva mu Yebosi ne batambula, ne basiisira mu Lye-Abalimu, mu ddungu eryolekedde Mowaabu, ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba. 1221:12 Ma 2:13, 14Bwe baava awo, ne batambula okulaga mu kiwonvu kya Zeredi, ne basiisira omwo. 1321:13 Kbl 22:36; Bal 11:13, 18Ne bava awo, ne batambula ne basiisira emitala w’omugga Alunoni, oguli mu ddungu erituuka ne ku nsalo ya Abamoli. Omugga Alunoni ye nsalo ya Mowaabu, eyawula Mowaabu n’Abamoli. 14Kyekyava kiwandiikibwa mu Kitabo ky’Entalo za Mukama Katonda, nti,
“Vakebu ne Sufa,
n’ebiwonvu bya Alunoni, 1521:15 nny 28; Ma 2:9, 18n’obuserengeto bw’ebiwonvu
ebituuka ku kibuga kya Ali,
ne byesigama ku nsalo ya Mowaabu.”
1621:16 Bal 9:21Bwe baava eyo ne batambula okutuuka e Beeri, olwo lwe luzzi Mukama we yagambira Musa nti, “Abantu bonna bakuŋŋaanye, mbawe amazzi.”
1721:17 Kuv 15:1Isirayiri n’alyoka ayimba oluyimba luno, nti,
“Weetale, ggwe Oluzzi!
Muluyimbirire!
18Muyimbe ku luzzi abalangira lwe baasima,
abakungu n’abantu lwe baayiikuula,
abakungu, emiggo gyabwe.”
19Ne bava mu ddungu ne batambula okutuuka e Matana. Bwe baava e Matana ne balaga e Nakalieri, ne bava e Nakalieri ne balaga e Bamosi. 20Bwe baava e Bamosi ne balaga mu kiwonvu ekiri mu matwale ga Mowaabu wansi w’olusozi Pisuga, kw’osinziira okulengera eddungu.

Bwe yatuuka e Yakazi n’alwana ne Isirayiri. 2421:24 a Ma 2:33; Zab 135:10-11; Am 2:9 b Ma 2:37Isirayiri n’amufumita n’obwogi bw’ekitala, n’atwala ensi ye okuva ku mugga Alunoni okutuuka ku mugga Yaboki, n’atuukira ddala ku Bamoni, n’akoma awo, kubanga Abamoni baali ba maanyi nnyo ku nsalo yaabwe. 2521:25 Kbl 13:29; Bal 10:11; Am 2:10Isirayiri n’awamba ebibuga byonna eby’Abamoli n’abeera omwo, ne Kesuboni n’akiwambiramu n’obubuga bwonna obwali bukyetoolodde. 2621:26 Ma 29:7; Zab 135:11Kesuboni kye kyali ekibuga ekikulu ekya Sikoni Kabaka w’Abamoli kye yali awambye ng’amaze okulwana n’eyali kabaka wa Mowaabu n’amuggyako ensi ye yonna okutuuka ku Alunoni.
27Abayiiya ennyimba kyebaava bayimba nti,
“Mujje e Kesuboni kizimbibwe;
ekibuga kya Sikoni kizzibwewo.
2821:28 a Yer 48:45 b nny 15 c Kbl 22:41; Is 15:2“Omuliro gwafuluma mu Kesuboni,

Gwayokya Ali ekya Mowaabu,

Ogi Awangulwa
31Bw’atyo Isirayiri n’atuula mu nsi y’Abamoli.
3221:32 Kbl 32:1, 3, 35; Yer 48:32Musa bwe yamala okutuma abakessi e Yazeri, abaana ba Isirayiri ne bawamba ebibuga ebyali bikyebunguludde, ne bagobamu Abamoli abaabibeerangamu. 3321:33 a Ma 3:3 b Ma 3:4 c Ma 1:4; 3:1, 10; Yos 13:12, 31Ne bakyuka ne bambukira mu kkubo eriraga e Basani. Ogi kabaka w’e Basani n’eggye lye lyonna ne yeesowolayo okubatabaala mu lutalo olwali mu Ederei.
3421:34 Ma 3:2Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Tomutya; kubanga mugabudde mu mukono gwo, n’eggye lye lyonna awamu n’ensi ye; omukole nga bwe wakola Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli eyafugiranga mu Kesuboni.”
35Bwe batyo ne bamutta, ne batabani be, n’eggye lye lyonna, ne batawonyaawo muntu n’omu21:35 Oluvannyuma lw’obuwanguzi obwo, Isirayiri yafuga ebuvanjuba bwa Yoludaani bwonna okuviira ddala mu Mowaabu okutuuka ku nsozi za Basani mu nsi y’e Kerumooni. Abayisirayiri baateranga okuyimba ennyimba n’okujaguza olw’okuwangula Sikoni ne Ogi (Zab 135:10-11; 136:19-20).. Ensi ye ne bagirya.
Israel Destroys Arad
1The Canaanite king of the city of Arad lived in the Negev Desert. He heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim. So he attacked the Israelites. He captured some of them. 2Then Israel made a promise to the Lord. They said, “Hand these people over to us. If you do, we will set their cities apart to you in a special way to be destroyed.” 3The Lord gave Israel what they asked for. He handed the Canaanites over to them. Israel completely destroyed them and their towns. So that place was named Hormah.
Moses Makes a Bronze Snake
4The Israelites traveled from Mount Hor along the way to the Red Sea. They wanted to go around Edom. But they grew tired on the way. 5So they spoke against God and against Moses. They said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt? Do you want us to die here in the desert? We don’t have any bread! We don’t have any water! And we hate this awful food!”
6Then the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the Israelites. The snakes bit them. Many of the people died. 7The others came to Moses. They said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
8The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake. Put it up on a pole. Then anyone who is bitten can look at it and remain alive.” 9So Moses made a bronze snake. He put it up on a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake remained alive.
The People Continue On to Moab
10The Israelites moved on. They camped at Oboth. 11Then they started out from Oboth. They camped in Iye Abarim. It’s in the desert on the eastern border of Moab. 12From there they moved on. They camped in the Zered Valley. 13They started out from there and camped by the Arnon River. It’s in the desert that spreads out into the territory of the Amorites. The Arnon is the border of Moab. It’s between Moab and the Amorites. 14Here is what the Book of the Wars of the Lord says about it.
“Sing about Zahab in Suphah and the valleys.
Sing about the Arnon 15and the slopes of the valleys.
They lead to the settlement called Ar.
They lie along the border of Moab.”
16From there the Israelites continued on to Beer. That was the well where the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, “Gather the people together. I will give them water to drink.”
17Then Israel sang a song. They said,
“Spring up, you well!
Sing about it.
18Sing about the well the princes dug.
Sing about the well the nobles of the people dug.
All their rulers were holding their scepters and walking sticks.”
Then the Israelites went from the desert to Mattanah. 19They went from Mattanah to Nahaliel. They went from Nahaliel to Bamoth. 20And they went from Bamoth to a valley in Moab. It’s the valley where the highest slopes of Pisgah look out over a dry and empty land.
Israel Wins the Battle Over Sihon and Og
21The Israelites sent messengers to speak to Sihon. He was the king of the Amorites. The messengers said to him,
22“Let us pass through your country. We won’t go off the road into any field or vineyard. We won’t drink water from any well. We’ll travel along the King’s Highway. We’ll just go straight through your territory.”
23But Sihon wouldn’t let Israel pass through his territory. He gathered his whole army together. Then he marched out into the desert against Israel. When he reached Jahaz, he fought against Israel. 24But Israel put him to death with their swords. They took over his land. They took everything from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River. But they didn’t take over any of the land of the Ammonites. That’s because the Ammonites had built strong forts along their border. 25The Israelites captured all the cities of the Amorites. Then they settled down in them. They captured the city of Heshbon. They also captured all the settlements around it. 26Sihon, the king of the Amorites, ruled in Heshbon. He had fought against an earlier king of Moab. Sihon had taken from him all his land all the way to the Arnon River.
27That’s why the poets say,
“Come to Heshbon. Let it be built again.
Let Sihon’s city be made as good as new.
28“Fire went out from Heshbon.
A blaze went out from the city of Sihon.
It burned up Ar in Moab.
It burned up the citizens who lived on Arnon’s hills.
29Moab, how terrible it is for you!
People of Chemosh, you are destroyed!
Chemosh has deserted his sons and daughters.
His sons have run away from the battle.
His daughters have become prisoners.
He has handed all of them over to Sihon,
the king of the Amorites.
30“But we have taken them over.
Heshbon’s rule has been destroyed all the way to Dibon.
We have destroyed them as far as Nophah.
Nophah goes all the way to Medeba.”
31So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.
32Moses sent spies to the city of Jazer. The Israelites captured the settlements around it. They drove out the Amorites who were there. 33Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan. Og was the king of Bashan. He and his whole army marched out. They went to fight against Israel at Edrei.
34The Lord said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of Og. I have handed him over to you. I have given you his whole army. I have also given you his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amorites. He ruled in Heshbon.”
35So the Israelites struck down Og and his sons. And they wiped out his whole army. They didn’t leave anyone alive. They took over his land for themselves.
