Amos 9
1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered.
Bwe ntyo nate ne ndaba Mukama ng’ayimiridde ku mabbali g’ekyoto, n’ayogera nti, “Mukube emitwe gy’empagi bya yeekaalu n’amaanyi mangi, emifuubeeto gikankane. Bisesebbuke bikube emitwe gy’abantu bonna, n’abo abaliba bawonyeewo ndibattisa ekitala. Tewaliba n’omu awona.
2 Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
Ne bwe balisima ne baddukira emagombe, omukono gwange gulibaggyayo. Ne bwe balirinnya waggulu mu ggulu ndibawanulayo. (Sheol h7585)
3 And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them.
Wadde balyekweka ku lusozi Kalumeeri, ndibanoonyaayo ne mbaggyayo. Ne bwe balyekweka wansi mu buziba bw’ennyanja ndiragira ogusota ne gubalumirayo.
4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
Ne bwe balitwalibwa abalabe baabwe mu buwaŋŋanguse, era nayo ndiragira ekitala ne kibattirayo. Ndibasimba amaaso ne batuukibwako bibi so si birungi.”
5 And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth, and it shall melt: and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up as a river, and shall run down as the river of Egypt.
Era Mukama, Mukama ow’Eggye, akwata ku nsi n’esaanuuka, abantu baayo bonna abagibeeramu ne bakungubaga, ensi yonna n’etumbiira nga Kiyira ate n’ekka ng’amazzi g’omugga gw’e Misiri;
6 He that buildeth his ascension in heaven, and hath founded his bundle upon the earth: who calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth, the Lord is his name.
oyo eyazimba olubiri lwe olulungi ennyo mu ggulu, omusingi gwalwo ne gubeera ku nsi, ayita amazzi g’ennyanja, n’agayiwa wansi ku lukalu, Mukama lye linnya lye.
7 Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel, saith the Lord? did not I bring up Israel, out of the land of Egypt: and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?
Mukama ayongera n’agamba nti, “Mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri temuli ng’Abakuusi gye ndi? Ssabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri nga bwe naggya Abafirisuuti e Katufoli, n’Abasuuli e Kiri?”
8 Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth: but yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
“Ddala ddala amaaso ga Mukama Katonda, gatunuulidde nkaliriza obwakabaka obwonoonyi. Ndibuzikiriza ne mbusaasaanya okuva ku nsi. Kyokka sirizikiririza ddala ennyumba ya Yakobo okugimalawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
9 For behold I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve: and there shall not a little stone fall to the ground.
“Kubanga ndiwa ekiragiro, ennyumba ya Isirayiri erinyeenyezebwa mu mawanga gonna, ng’emmere ey’empeke bwe kuŋŋutibwa mu kakuŋŋunta era tewaliba kayinja akaligwa wansi.
10 All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword: who say: The evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon us.
Aboonoonyi bonna mu bantu bange, balifa kitala, abo bonna aboogera nti, ‘Akabi tekalitutuukako.’”
11 In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that is fallen: and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof, and repair what was fallen: and I will rebuild it as in the days of old.
“Mu biro ebyo ndizzaawo ennyumba ya Dawudi eyagwa era ndiddaabiriza ebifo ebyamenyebwamenyebwa, ne nzizaawo ebyali amatongo, ne biba nga bwe byabeeranga,
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all nations, because my name is invoked upon them: saith the Lord that doth these things.
balyoke batwale ekitundu kya Edomu ekyasigalawo n’amawanga gonna ge nayita okuba abantu bange,” bw’ayogera Mukama alikola ebintu ebyo byonna.
13 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled.
“Ennaku zijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “akungula lw’alisinga asiga, n’asiga ensigo lw’alisinga atunda emizabbibu. Wayini omuggya alitonnya okuva mu nsozi, n’akulukuta okuva mu busozi.
14 And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat the fruits of them.
Ndikomyawo abantu bange Isirayiri okuva mu buwaŋŋanguse, ne bazimba nate ebibuga ebyamenyebwa, babibeeremu. Balisimba ennimiro zaabwe ez’emizabbibu ne banywa wayini avaamu, era balisimba ennimiro balye ebibala byamu.
15 And I will plant them upon their own land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
Ndisimba Isirayiri mu nsi yaabwe, era tebaliggibwa nate mu nsi gye nabawa,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wammwe.
