Amos 6
1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
Zibasanze abo abateefiirayo mu Sayuuni, n’abo abawulira emirembe ku lusozi lw’e Samaliya. Mmwe abasajja abeekitiibwa ab’ensi enkulembeze, abantu ba Isirayiri gye beeyuna.
2 Pass ye to Calneh, and see, and from there go ye to Hamath the great, then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Or is their border greater than your border?
Mugende mulabe e Kalune; muveeyo mulage mu Kamasi ekikulu, ate era muserengete mu kibuga ky’Abafirisuuti eky’e Gaasi. Basinga obwakabaka bwammwe obubiri? Ensi yaabwe esinga eyammwe obunene?
3 Ye who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
Mulindiriza olunaku olw’ekibi, ate ne musembeza effugabbi.
4 who lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall,
Mugalamira ku bitanda ebyakolebwa mu masanga ne muwummulira mu ntebe ennyonvu nga muvaabira ennyama y’endiga n’ey’ennyana ensava.
5 who sing idle songs to the sound of the viol, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David,
Mwekubira ennanga nga Dawudi bwe yakolanga, ne muyiiya n’ennyimba ku bivuga.
6 who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
Mwekatankira wayini, ne mwesiiga n’ebizigo ebirungi, naye temukaabira kubonaabona kwa Yusufu.
7 Therefore they shall now go captive with the first who go captive, and the revelry of those who stretched themselves shall pass away.
Noolwekyo mmwe mulisooka okugenda mu buwaŋŋanguse. Era embaga zammwe n’okwewummuza birikoma.
8 The lord Jehovah has sworn by himself, says Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces, therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alayidde, Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna agamba nti, “Neetamiddwa amalala ga Yakobo, nkyawa ebigo bye, era nzija kuwaayo ekibuga ne byonna ebikirimu eri abalabe baakyo.”
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
Era singa ennyumba eneeba ekyalinawo abasajja ekkumi abasigaddewo, nabo balifa.
10 And when a man's uncle shall take him up, even he who burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No, then he shall say, Hold thy peace, for we may not make mention of the name of Jehovah.
Era singa ow’ekika akola ku by’okuziika, anaaba afulumya amagumba n’abuuza oba waliwo omuntu yenna eyeekwese munda mu nnyumba, oba alina gwe yeekwese naye, n’addamu nti, “Nedda,” olwo omuziisi anaamusirisa ng’agamba nti, “Sirika; tetwogera ku linnya lya Mukama.”
11 For, behold, Jehovah commands, and the great house shall be smitten with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
Laba Mukama alagidde, ennyumba ennene erimenyebwamenyebwa, n’ennyumba entono erimenyebwamenyebwa.
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? Will a man plow there with oxen? That ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
Kisoboka embalaasi okuddukira ku mayinja? Waali wabaddewo abalima ku mayinja n’enkumbi ezisikibwa ente? Naye obwenkanya mubufudde obutwa n’ekibala eky’obutuukirivu ne mukifuula ekikaawa.
13 ye who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
Mwenyumiririza bwereere nti muli b’amaanyi olw’okuba nga mwawamba ekibuga Lodeba. Mwogera nti, “Tetwawamba Kanayimu n’amaanyi gaffe?”
14 For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, says Jehovah, the God of hosts, and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.
Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye agamba nti, “Ndibasindikira eggwanga libalumbe, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri; liribajooga ebbanga lyonna okuva e Lebo Kamasi okutuuka mu kiwonvu kye Alaba.”
