Amos 1
1 The words of Amos, who was among herdsmen of Thecua: which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel two years before the earthquake.
Bino bye bigambo Amosi eyali omu ku balunzi b’endiga mu bitundu by’e Tekowa bye yabikkulirwa, musisi amale ajje nga wakayitawo emyaka ebiri, mu mirembe gya Uzziya kabaka wa Yuda, era nga gy’emirembe gya kabaka Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Yowaasi nga y’afuga Isirayiri.
2 And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is withered.
Amosi yagamba nti, “Mukama awuluguma ng’asinziira mu Sayuuni, era eddoboozi lye liwulirwa nga libwatukira mu Yerusaalemi; omuddo mu malundiro gulikala n’entikko y’olusozi Kalumeeri erisigala njereere.”
3 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I will not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Ddamasiko ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga baabonereza nnyo abantu b’e Gireyaadi nga babasalaasala n’ebyuma.

5 And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut off the inhabitants from the plain of the idol, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of pleasure: and the people of Syria shall be carried away to Cyrene, saith the Lord.
Era ndimenya enzigi z’ekibuga Ddamasiko era ndizikiriza kabaka ali mu Kiwonvu ky’e Aveni, oyo akwata omuggo ogw’obwakabaka mu Besiadeni. Abantu b’e Busuuli balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Kiri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
6 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four I will not convert it: because they have carried away a perfect captivity to shut them up in Edom.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Gaza ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yatwala eggwanga ddamba mu busibe n’alitunda eri Edomu.
7 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the houses thereof.

8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Azotus, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ascalon: and I will turn my hand against Accaron, and the rest of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
Ndizikiriza atuula mu Asudodi, n’oyo akwata omuggo gw’obwakabaka ndimumalawo okuva mu Asukulooni. Ndibonereza Ekuloni okutuusa lwe ndimalirawo ddala Abafirisuuti,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
9 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four I will not convert it: because they have shut up an entire captivity in Edom, and have not remembered the covenant of brethren.
Mukama bw’ati bw’ayogera nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Ttuulo ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yatunda eggwanga ddamba erya Edomu mu busibe n’amenya endagaano ey’obwaseruganda eyali ekoleddwa,
10 And I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
kyenaava mpeereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Ttuulo, ogunaayokya ebigo byakyo.”
11 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and hath cast off all pity, and hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Edomu ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yayigganya muganda we n’ekitala awatali kusaasira, obusungu bwabwe ne bubuubuuka obutakoma era ne batabusalako.
12 I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour the houses of Bosra.

13 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath ripped up the women with child of Galaad to enlarge his border.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Amoni ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Mu ntalo ez’okugaziya ensi ye, yabaaga abakazi abaali embuto ab’e Giriyaadi.
14 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba: and it shall devour the houses thereof with shouting in the day of battle, and with a whirlwind in the day of trouble.
Ndiweereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Labba, era gulyokya ebigo byakyo. Walibaawo n’oluyoogaano olunene ku lunaku olw’olutalo mu mpewo ey’amaanyi, kibuyaga ng’akunta.
15 And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Kabaka waakyo alitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse, ye n’abakungu be bonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
