Micah 7
1 Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the firstripe figs.
Ddala zinsanze nze. Ndi ng’omuntu akungula ebibala okuva mu bifo eby’enjawulo eby’ennimiro y’emizabbibu; tewali kirimba kya mizabbibu kulyako, wadde emizeeyituuni egisooka okwengera gye njagala ennyo.
2 The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.
Abantu abatya Katonda, baweddewo mu nsi; tewali n’omu mulongoofu asigaddewo. Bonna banoonya okuyiwa omusaayi, buli omu anoonya okutega muganda we ekitimba.
3 The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it.
Emikono gyabwe gyombi mikugu mu kukola ebibi; omufuzi asaba ebirabo, n’omulamuzi alya enguzi, n’ab’amaanyi mu nsi, beekolera kye baagala nga basala enkwe.
4 He that is best among them, is as a brier: and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.
Mu abo bonna asingamu obulungi, afaanana ng’omweramannyo; asingamu ku mazima y’asinga olukomera lw’amaggwa obubi. Naye olunaku lw’abakuumi bammwe lutuuse, era kino kye kiseera eky’okutabukatabuka.
5 Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
Tewesiga muntu n’omu, wadde mukwano gwo, newaakubadde mukazi wo, Weegendereze by’oyogera.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man’s enemies are they of his own household.
Kubanga omulenzi agaya kitaawe, n’omwana alwanyisa nnyina, muka mwana n’alwanyisa nnyazaala we. Abalabe b’omuntu, bantu be, ab’omu nju ye bennyini.
7 But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.
Naye nze nnindirira Mukama nga nnina essuubi, nnindirira Katonda Omulokozi wange; Katonda wange anampulira.
8 Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
Tonjeeyereza ggwe omulabe wange, kubanga wadde ngudde, nnaayimuka. Ne bwe naatuula mu kizikiza, Mukama anaabeera ekitangaala kyange.
9 I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
Nnaagumikirizanga Mukama bw’anaabanga ambonereza, kubanga nnyonoonye mu maaso ge, okutuusa lw’alimpolereza, n’anziza buggya. Alindeeta mu kitangaala, era ndiraba obutuukirivu bwe.
10 And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
Olwo omulabe wange alikiraba, n’aswala, oyo eyanjeeyerezanga ng’agamba nti, “Ali ludda wa Mukama Katonda wo?” Ndisanyuka ng’agudde, era alirinnyirirwa ng’ebitoomi eby’omu nguudo.
11 The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.
Olunaku olw’okuzimba bbugwe wo lulituuka, olunaku olw’okugaziya ensalo yo.
12 In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Mu biro ebyo abantu balijja gy’oli nga bava mu Bwasuli ne mu bibuga by’e Misiri, n’okuva e Misiri okutuuka ku mugga Fulaati, n’okuva ku nnyanja emu okutuuka ku nnyanja endala, n’okuva ku lusozi olumu okutuuka ku lusozi olulala.
13 And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
Ensi erifuuka matongo, olw’ebikolwa by’abantu abagibeeramu.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
Lunda abantu bo n’omuggo gwo, ekisibo kye weeroboza, ababeera bokka mu kibira mu malundiro amagimu. Baleke baliire mu Basani ne Gireyaadi, nga mu biseera eby’edda.
15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.
Nga bwe kyali mu nnaku ze mwaviiramu mu Misiri, nzija kubalaga ebikulu eby’ekitalo.
16 The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
Amawanga galikiraba ne gakwatibwa ensonyi, ne gamalibwamu amaanyi. Abantu baago balikwata ku mimwa gyabwe n’amatu gaabwe ne gaziba.
17 They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.
Balirya enfuufu ng’omusota, ng’ebisolo ebyewalula. Balifuluma obunnya bwabwe nga bakankana ne bakyuka okudda eri Mukama Katonda waffe, ne babatya.
18 Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy.
Katonda ki omulala ali nga ggwe, asonyiwa ekibi era n’asonyiwa ebyonoono byabo abaasigalawo ku bantu be? Obusungu bwe tebubeerera emirembe gyonna, naye asanyukira okusaasira.
19 He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
Alikyuka n’atukwatirwa ekisa nate; alirinnyirira ebibi byaffe, n’asuula ebyonoono byaffe byonna mu buziba bw’ennyanja.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Olikola eby’amazima bye wasuubiza Yakobo, n’ebyekisa bye wasuubiza Ibulayimu, nga bwe weeyama eri bajjajjaffe okuva mu nnaku ez’edda.
