Amosi 3
1 Muwulire ekigambo kino Mukama ky’aboogerako mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri, ennyumba yonna gye naggya mu Misiri.
Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Mu bantu bonna abali ku nsi, mmwe mwekka be nalonda. Kyendiva mbabonereza olw’ebibi byammwe byonna.”
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
3 Abantu ababiri bayinza okutambulira awamu wabula nga bakkiriziganyizza?
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
4 Empologoma ewulugumira mu kisaka nga terina muyiggo? Empologoma ento ekaabira mu mpuku yaayo nga teriiko ky’ekutte?
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
5 Akanyonyi kayinza okugwa mu mutego nga tewali kikasikirizza? Omutego gumasuka nga teguliiko kye gukwasizza?
Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no animal trap is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
6 Akagombe kavugira mu kibuga abantu ne batatya? Akabenje kagwa mu kibuga nga Mukama si y’akaleese?
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD has not done it?
7 Naye ddala Mukama Katonda takola kintu kyonna nga tasoose kukibikkulira baweereza be, bannabbi.
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 Empologoma ewulugumye, ani ataatye? Mukama Katonda ayogedde ani ataawe bubaka bwe?
The lion has roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD has spoken, who can but prophesy?
9 Langirira eri ebigo by’e Asudodi n’eri ebigo by’e Misiri nti, “Mujje mukuŋŋaanire ku nsozi z’e Samaliya mulabe akajagalalo akanene akali eyo n’abantu be nga bwe bajoogebwa.”
Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
10 Mukama agamba nti, “Abantu abajjuzza ebigo byabwe n’ebintu ebinyage, tebamanyi kukola kituufu.”
For they know not to do right, says the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
11 Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Omulabe alirumba ensi, n’amenyaamenya ebigo byo eby’amaanyi era n’abinyagulula.”
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down your strength from you, and your palaces shall be spoiled.
12 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Ng’omusumba bw’agezaako okutaasa endiga ye okuva mu kamwa k’empologoma n’asikayo amagulu abiri obubiri n’ekitundu ky’okutu, bwe batyo Abayisirayiri bwe balinunulibwa, abo abatuula mu Samaliya ku nkomerero y’ebitanda byabwe ne ku bitanda byabwe mu Ddamasiko.
Thus says the LORD; As the shepherd takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
13 “Muwulirize kino era mulumirize enju ya Yakobo yonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
Hear all of you, and testify in the house of Jacob, says the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
14 “Ku lunaku lwe lumu lwe ndibonereza Isirayiri olw’ebibi bye, ndisaanyaawo ebyoto by’e Beseri, n’amayembe g’ekyoto galisalibwako ne gagwa wansi.
That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 Era ndisaanyaawo ennyumba ebeerwamu mu biseera eby’obutiti, awamu n’ennyumba ebeerwamu mu biseera ey’ebbugumu; era ndimenyaamenya n’ennyumba ezayolebwa n’amasanga, ne nsanyaawo n’embiri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, says the LORD.
