Okubala
25 Isirayiri bwe yali mu Sitimu,+ abantu ne batandika okwenda ku bawala ba Mowaabu.+ 2 Abakazi baayita abantu ku ssaddaaka za bakatonda baabwe,+ era abantu ne balya ku ssaddaaka, ne bavunnamira ne bakatonda baabwe.+ 3 Bw’atyo Isirayiri ne yeetaba mu kusinza Bbaali ow’e Pyoli;+ Yakuwa n’asunguwalira Isirayiri. 4 Yakuwa n’agamba Musa nti: “Twala abo bonna abakulembeddemu abantu bano obawanike mu maaso ga Yakuwa emisana ttuku,* obusungu bwa Yakuwa buve ku Isirayiri.” 5 Musa n’agamba abalamuzi ba Isirayiri+ nti: “Buli omu ku mmwe atte abasajja be abeetabye mu kusinza Bbaali ow’e Pyoli.”+
6 Awo mu kiseera ekyo omu ku Bayisirayiri n’aleeta mu baganda be omukazi Omumidiyaani+ nga Musa n’ekibiina kyonna eky’Abayisirayiri balaba, bwe baali nga bakaabira ku mulyango gwa weema ey’okusisinkaniramu. 7 Fenekaasi+ mutabani wa Eriyazaali mutabani wa Alooni kabona bwe yakiraba, amangu ago n’asituka n’ava mu kibiina n’akwata effumu mu mukono gwe, 8 n’agoberera omusajja Omuyisirayiri mu weema, n’abafumita bombi, omusajja Omuyisirayiri, n’omukazi mu bitundu bye eby’ekyama. Awo ekirwadde ekyali kibaluseewo mu Bayisirayiri ne kikomezebwa.+ 9 Abo abaafa ekirwadde baali 24,000.+
10 Awo Yakuwa n’agamba Musa nti: 11 “Fenekaasi+ mutabani wa Eriyazaali mutabani wa Alooni kabona aggye obusungu bwange ku bantu ba Isirayiri olw’okuba tagumiikirizza mu bo butali bwesigwa gye ndi.+ Kyenvudde sisaanyaawo Bayisirayiri, wadde nga njagala okunneemalirako.+ 12 Olw’ensonga eyo mugambe nti, ‘nkola naye endagaano ey’emirembe. 13 Ejja kuba ndagaano ey’obwakabona obw’olubeerera eri ye n’eri ezzadde lye eririmuddirira,+ olw’okuba tagumiikirizza butali bwesigwa eri Katonda we,+ n’atangirira abantu ba Isirayiri.’”
14 Omusajja Omuyisirayiri eyattibwa awamu n’omukazi Omumidiyaani yali ayitibwa Zimuli, mutabani wa Salu, era yali mwami mu emu ku nnyumba za bakitaabwe b’Abasimiyoni. 15 Ate omukazi Omumidiyaani eyattibwa yali ayitibwa Kozebi, muwala wa Zuuli;+ Zuuli yali mukulu wa kika kya kitaawe mu Midiyaani.+
16 Oluvannyuma Yakuwa n’agamba Musa nti: 17 “Mukijjanye Abamidiyaani era mubatte,+ 18 kubanga baabaleetera emitawaana nga babasendasenda mu ngeri ey’olukujjukujju, ne babaleetera okwonoona ku bikwata ku Pyoli.+ Era baabasendasenda okwonoona nga bayitira mu Kozebi, muwala w’omwami Omumidiyaani, mwannyinaabwe eyattibwa+ ku lunaku ekirwadde lwe kyabajjira olw’ebyo ebikwata ku Pyoli.”+
