Amos 7
1 Thus has the Lord God showed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.
Bino Mukama Katonda bye yandaga. Yali ateekateeka ebibinja by’enzige okusaanyaawo ebirime ebyalimwanga, nga baakakungula olukungula olusooka ssinziggu, kabaka kw’afuna omusolo.
2 And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number.
Enzige bwe zaalya buli kantu akaali mu nnimiro akalamu, ne nkaaba nti, “Mukama Katonda, sonyiwa abantu bo nkwegayiridde. Yakobo aliwona atya? Nga mutono nnyo.”
3 Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.
Mukama bwe yawulira okukaaba kuno n’akyusa ekirowoozo kye. N’agamba nti, “Ekyo tekiribaawo.”
4 Thus has the Lord showed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgement by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.
Bino Mukama bye yayongera okundaga. Yali ategeka okubonereza abantu n’omuliro. Gwalya ennyanja eyali wansi w’ensi ne gumalawo n’olukalu.
5 Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray you: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this.
Ne nkaaba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda nkwegayiridde osonyiwe abantu bo! Yakobo anaasobola atya okusigalawo? Nga mutono nnyo!”
6 This also shall not be, says the Lord.
Awo Mukama bwe yawulira okukaaba kuno, n’akyusa ekirowoozo kye. Era n’agamba nti, “Era n’ekyo tekijja kubeerawo.”
7 Thus the Lord showed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand [was] an adamant.
Ate Mukama n’andaga okwolesebwa okulala. Ne ndaba Mukama ng’ayimiridde ku bbugwe azimbiddwa obulungi nga yatereera era nga Mukama akutte bbirigi mu mukono gwe.
8 And the Lord said to me, What see you, Amos? And I said, An adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of my people Israel: I will not pass by them any more.
Mukama n’ambuuza nti, “Amosi, kiki ky’olaba?” Ne nziramu nti, “Ndaba bbirigi.” Mukama n’alyoka aŋŋamba nti, “Laba nteese bbirigi wakati mu bantu bange Isirayiri. Sijja kuddayo kukyusa kirowoozo kyange nate ku ky’okubabonereza.
9 And the joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
“Ebifo ebigulumivu ebya Isaaka birizikirizibwa, n’ebifo bya Isirayiri ebitukuvu birifuuka matongo. N’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu ndigirwanyisa n’ekitala.”
10 Then Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.
Awo Amaziya kabona w’e Beseri n’aweereza kabaka wa Isirayiri, Yerobowaamu, obubaka ng’agamba nti, “Amosi agezaako okukulyamu olukwe wakati mu Isirayiri mwennyini. Ensi teyinza kugumira bigambo bye.”
11 For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.
Bw’ati Amosi bw’ayogera nti, “‘Yerobowaamu alifa kitala, ne Isirayiri balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse bave mu nsi yaboobwe.’”
12 And Amasias said to Amos, Go, seer, remove you into the land of Juda, and live there, and you shall prophesy there:
Awo Amaziya n’alyoka alagira Amosi nti, “Vva wano ggwe omulabi. Ddayo mu nsi ya Yuda gy’oba oweera obunnabbi, ofunire eyo omusaala gwo.
13 but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.
Toweera wano bunnabbi nate e Beseri kubanga luno lubiri lwa kabaka era ssinzizo lya bwakabaka.”
14 And Amos answered, and said to Amasias, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.
Amosi n’amuddamu nti, “Saali nnabbi oba omwana wa nnabbi nnali mulunzi wa ndiga era nga ndabirira miti emisukamooli.
15 And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to my people Israel.
Naye Mukama yanziggya eyo mu kulunda ekisibo n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Genda owe obunnabbi abantu bange, Isirayiri.’”
16 And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.
Noolwekyo ggwe wuliriza ekigambo kya Mukama. Ogamba nti, “‘Towa bunnabbi bunenya Isirayiri, era lekaraawo okubuulira ebikwata ku nnyumba ya Isaaka.’
17 Therefore thus says the Lord; Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.
“Mukama kyava akuddamu nti, “‘Mukazi wo alifuuka malaaya mu kibuga era n’abaana bo aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala balifa ekitala. Ettaka lyo lirigabanyizibwamu ne liweebwa abalala naawe kennyini olifiira mu nsi ey’abakafiiri. Ekituufu kiri nti abantu ba Isirayiri balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse, ne baggyibwa mu nsi yaboobwe.’”
