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.
Sikoni Awangulwa
2121:21 Ma 1:4; 2:26-27; Bal 11:19-21Awo Isirayiri n’atuma ababaka eri Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli ng’amugamba nti,

2321:23 a Kbl 20:21 b Ma 2:32; Bal 11:20Naye Sikoni n’atakkiriza Isirayiri kuyita mu nsi ye. N’akuŋŋaanya eggye lye lyonna, n’agenda atabaale Isirayiri mu ddungu. 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,

Batabani be abawaddeyo eri kabaka Sikoni ow’Abamoli

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.
Arad destroyed
1When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked the Israelites and captured some of them. 2Then Israel made this vow to the Lord: ‘If you will deliver these people into our hands, we will totally destroy21:2 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or people to the Lord, often by totally destroying them; also in verse 3. their cities.’ 3The Lord listened to Israel’s plea and gave the Canaanites over to them. They completely destroyed them and their towns; so the place was named Hormah.21:3 Hormah means destruction.
The bronze snake
4They travelled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea,21:4 Or the Sea of Reeds to go round Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; 5they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, ‘Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!’
6Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. 7The people came to Moses and 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 and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.’ 9So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.
The journey to Moab
10The Israelites moved on and camped at Oboth. 11Then they set out from Oboth and camped in Iye Abarim, in the wilderness that faces Moab towards the sunrise. 12From there they moved on and camped in the Zered Valley. 13They set out from there and camped alongside the Arnon, which is in the wilderness extending into Amorite territory. The Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14That is why the Book of the Wars of the Lord says:
‘…Zahab21:14 Septuagint; Hebrew Waheb in Suphah and the ravines,
the Arnon 15and21:14,15 Or ‘I have been given from Suphah and the ravines / of the Arnon 15 to the slopes of the ravines
that lead to the settlement of Ar
and lie along the border of Moab.’
16From there they continued on to Beer, the well where the Lord said to Moses, ‘Gather the people together and I will give them water.’
17Then Israel sang this song:
‘Spring up, O well!
Sing about it,
18about the well that the princes dug,
that the nobles of the people sank –
the nobles with sceptres and staffs.’
Then they went from the wilderness to Mattanah, 19from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
Defeat of Sihon and Og
21Israel sent messengers to say to Sihon king of the Amorites:
22‘Let us pass through your country. We will not turn aside into any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will travel along the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.’
23But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. He mustered his entire army and marched out into the wilderness against Israel. When he reached Jahaz, he fought with Israel. 24Israel, however, put him to the sword and took over his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, but only as far as the Ammonites, because their border was fortified. 25Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including Heshbon and all its surrounding settlements. 26Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.
27That is why the poets say:
‘Come to Heshbon and let it be rebuilt;
let Sihon’s city be restored.
28‘Fire went out from Heshbon,
a blaze from the city of Sihon.
It consumed Ar of Moab,
the citizens of Arnon’s heights.
29Woe to you, Moab!
You are destroyed, people of Chemosh!
He has given up his sons as fugitives
and his daughters as captives
to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30‘But we have overthrown them;
Heshbon’s dominion has been destroyed all the way to Dibon.
We have demolished them as far as Nophah,
which extends to Medeba.’
31So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.
32After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, the Israelites captured its surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there. 33Then they turned and went up along the road towards Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.
34The Lord said to Moses, ‘Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.’
35So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors. And they took possession of his land.
