2 Era, oIbbulaimu yamuwaireku ekitundu kimo okwikumi ekyʼebyo byonabyona ebiyabbaire awambire omu lutalo.
Atyanu ekisooka, eriinalye oMerikizaadeeki litegeeza “Okabaka afugira omu butuukirirye.” Kaisi tete, nʼengeri ekibono “Saalemu,” egikitegeeza “Idembe,” amakulu gʼekitiisyakye niigo nti, “Okabaka owʼeidembe.”
3 Mpaawo egibatumulira okwiteeye ooba omaaye wa Merikizaadeeki oyo, waire oku lulyo nʼobwomibwe egibutandiikira nʼegibukoma. Neye era wona, okufaananaku nʼoMwana wa Kibbumba, oMerikizaadeeki yena asigala nga kabona emirembe nʼemirembe.
4 Aale mwezya okubona ngʼoMerikizaadeeki oweyabbaire muntu wʼamaani nakimo. Obona nʼoIbbulaimu ozeiza waiswe omukulu yamuwaire ekitundu ekimo okwikumi ekyʼebyo ebiyabbaire awambire omu lutalo!
5 Atyanu, aMateeka ga Musa galagira abo abʼekiizukulu kya Leevi abebawaire obwakabona, okusolooja omu bantu ekitundu ekimo okwikumi waire nga bʼolulyo lwabwe, nti bonabona baizukulu ba Ibbulaimu.
6 Neye oMerikizaadeeki iye etiyabbaire wʼekiizukulu kya Leevi, obone oweyatoire okwIbbulaimu ekitundu ekimo okwikumi. Kaisi era, nʼokumuwa nʼamuwa nʼenkabi, iye oIbbulaimu oKibbumba oguyabbaire amalire ira okusuubiza.
7 Mpaawo kubuusabuusa nti omuntu akiraku, niiye awaaku abo abaakiraku enkabi.
8 Owetutumula oku kyʼabakabona okusolooja ekitundu ekimo okwikumi omu bantu, bakisolooja ngʼabali nʼemibiri egifa. Neye owekituuka oku Merikizaadeeki iye, eyasunire ekitundu ekimo okwikumi mwomi, dala ngʼeBiwandiike owebikoba.
9 Atyanu eeriyo ayezya okukoba ati, mbona nʼabʼekiizukulu kya Leevi abebawa ekitundu ekimo okwikumi bona kyekimo bakitooleire aamo nʼoIbbulaimu okukiwa oMerikizaadeeki.
10 Ekyo kityo olwakubba oIbbulaimu okwaba okuwa oMerikizaadeeki ekitundu ekimo okwikumi oweyamusangaine, nʼoLeevi onyere yena yabbaire akaali ali mu kida kya zeizawe oIbbulaimu, nga bakaali kumubyala.
OYesu ali ooti Merikizaadeeki
11 Atyanu, oKibbumba yawaire aBaisirairi aMateeka ga Musa nga geemereire ku musingi gwʼobwakabona bwʼaBaleevi. Neye aale singa omulimo gwʼabakabona aBaleevi gwatuukiiryeku ekigendererwa kya Kibbumba ekya kutuukirirya abantu, tiyanketaagire okusindika okabona ogondi afaananaku nʼoMerikizaadeeki, omu kifo kyʼoodi owʼomu lulyo lwʼAlooni.
12 Era, ngʼobwakabona owebwacuukiremu ni busuuka bwʼenkola mpyaka, kyabbaire kisaaniire nʼamateeka agafuga entambulya yaabwo gona bagacuusemu.
13 Nti iye oMusengwa waiswe, ogubatumulaku aanu, tiyazwire mu lulyo lwa Leevi wazira lundi omwabbaire timuzwangakuumu muntu waire moiza okuweererya ngʼokabona oku kyoto.
14 Kintu kimanye kiti, yazwire mu lulyo lwa Yuda, onaabbi Musa olwatakobangaku ati mwirwo mwona mwalizwamu abakabona.
15 Ebyo byeyongerera nakimo okutegeerekeka, owewasetukayo okabona ogondi afaananaku nʼoMerikizaadeeki ngʼoweyabbaire kabona.
16 Oyo iye okumulondakwe okubba okabona tikwabbaire lwakubba nti atuukana nʼekiragiro ekya kubba owʼomu lulyo lwa Leevi, wazira lwakubba nti ali nʼamaani aga bwomi obutawaawo.
17 Iye niiye ogubatumulaku bati:
“Oli kabona wʼemirembe nʼemirembe,
okufaananaku nʼoMerikizaadeeki ngʼoweyabbaire kabona.”
18 Omu ngeri eyo, ekiragiro kidi ekifuga okwingira obwakabona ekyasookere atyanu bakidibirye, olwʼobunafu nʼokutagasa byakyo.
19 Ekyo kityo olwakubba aMateeka, mpaawo muntu ogugeezyerye okusuuca atuukiriire, neenu nga batuteekeirewo osuubi akiraku, omutwezya okubitira okwigerera eeri oKibbumba.
20 OKibbumba oweyabbaire alonda okabona oyo, yakoleireku nʼekirayiro. Neye ibo aBaleevi okubba abakabona, tikwabbaireku kirayiro naire.
21 OYesu yenkani niiye oKibbumba oguyalayiriire ati:
“OMusengwa alayiire,
era tiyalyejusa mwekyo:
‘Oli kabona wʼemirembe nʼemirembe.’ ”
22 Olwʼekirayiro kya Kibbumba ekyo, oYesu asuuka niiye ekikakasa kiti endagaano eyo, ekiraku obusa.
23 Enjabulo egendi eri eti, abakabona badi ibo baabbanga bangi olwʼensonga nti baafanga, kale ngʼomoiza tayezya kubbeerererawo emirembe nʼemirembe.
24 Neye engeri egikiri nti oYesu iye aliwo mwomi buli kiseera, obwakabonabwe bubbeerererawo emirembe nʼemirembe.
25 Nʼolwekyo ayezya okulokolera nakimo abo abaaba eeri oKibbumba nga babita mwiye, olwakubba aliwo mwomi ekiseera kyonakyona okubawozereryanga omu maiso ga Kibbumba.
26 OYesu niiye ali nʼekikula kya kabona akira obukulu ogutwetaagira nakimo. Nti niiye oMweru, atuukiriire era abulaku kyokumunenya. Niiye oKibbumba oguyayawiire okuzwa mwabo abakola ebibbibibbi era oguyaniinirye nʼabitamu eigulu.
27 Iye tiyeetaaga kuwaayo sadaaka buli lunaku, okusooka oku lwʼebibbibibbi ebibye, kaisi tete nʼoku lwʼebyʼabantu abasigaire, ngʼabakabona abakulu badi abandi owebakolanga. Ekyo iye yakikolere nga kyʼomulundi gumo lumala, oweyeewaireyo iye onyere.
28 Nti igo aMateeka ga Musa gabitya abantu okubba abakabona abakulu waire nga bali nʼobunafu. Neye ikyo ekirayiro oKibbumba ekiyakolere, oluzwanyuma eino olwʼokuwa aMateeka, kibitya Mwanawe kiti niiye okabona akira obukulu. Era oyo iye atuukiriire emirembe nʼemirembe.
