Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
Muwulire ekigambo kino Mukama ky’aboogerako mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri, ennyumba yonna gye naggya mu Misiri.
2 “I have only chosen you of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.”
“Mu bantu bonna abali ku nsi, mmwe mwekka be nalonda. Kyendiva mbabonereza olw’ebibi byammwe byonna.”
3 Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
Abantu ababiri bayinza okutambulira awamu wabula nga bakkiriziganyizza?
4 Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
Empologoma ewulugumira mu kisaka nga terina muyiggo? Empologoma ento ekaabira mu mpuku yaayo nga teriiko ky’ekutte?
5 Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
Akanyonyi kayinza okugwa mu mutego nga tewali kikasikirizza? Omutego gumasuka nga teguliiko kye gukwasizza?
6 Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and the LORD has not done it?
Akagombe kavugira mu kibuga abantu ne batatya? Akabenje kagwa mu kibuga nga Mukama si y’akaleese?
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
Naye ddala Mukama Katonda takola kintu kyonna nga tasoose kukibikkulira baweereza be, bannabbi.
8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
Empologoma ewulugumye, ani ataatye? Mukama Katonda ayogedde ani ataawe bubaka bwe?
9 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them.”
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.”
10 “Indeed they do not know to do right,” says the LORD, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”
Mukama agamba nti, “Abantu abajjuzza ebigo byabwe n’ebintu ebinyage, tebamanyi kukola kituufu.”
11 Therefore the Lord GOD says: “An adversary will overrun the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered.”
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Omulabe alirumba ensi, n’amenyaamenya ebigo byo eby’amaanyi era n’abinyagulula.”
12 The LORD says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.”
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.
13 “Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob,” says the Lord GOD, the God of Armies.
“Muwulirize kino era mulumirize enju ya Yakobo yonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
14 “For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.
“Ku lunaku lwe lumu lwe ndibonereza Isirayiri olw’ebibi bye, ndisaanyaawo ebyoto by’e Beseri, n’amayembe g’ekyoto galisalibwako ne gagwa wansi.
15 I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end,” says the LORD.
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.
