Micah 2
1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light they accomplish it because the power is in their hands.
Zibasanze mmwe abateesa okukola ebitali bya butuukirivu era abateesa okukola ebibi nga bali ku buliri bwabwe; Obudde bwe bukya ne batuukiriza entegeka zaabwe, kubanga kiri mu nteekateeka yaabwe.
2 They covet fields and seize them; they take away houses. They deprive a man of his home, a fellow man of his inheritance.
Beegomba ebyalo ne babitwala, ne beegomba ennyumba nazo ne bazitwala. Banyigiriza omuntu ne batwala amaka ge olw’amaanyi, ne bamubbako ebyobusika bwe.
3 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “I am planning against this nation a disaster from which you cannot free your necks. Then you will not walk so proudly, for it will be a time of calamity.
Mukama kyava agamba nti, “Laba, ndireeta akabi ku bantu abo, ke mutagenda kweggyamu. Temuliddayo kubeera n’amalala nate kubanga kiriba kiseera kya mitawaana.
4 In that day they will take up a proverb against you and taunt you with this bitter lamentation: ‘We are utterly ruined! He has changed the portion of my people. How He has removed it from me! He has allotted our fields to traitors.’”
Olwo abantu balikusekerera; Balikuyeeyereza nga bayimba oluyimba luno olw’okukungubaga nti: ‘Tugwereddewo ddala; ebintu by’abantu bange bigabanyizibbwamu. Mukama anziggirako ddala ettaka lyange, n’aliwa abo abatulyamu enkwe.’”
5 Therefore, you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD to divide the land by lot.
Noolwekyo tewalisigalawo muntu n’omu mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama, aligabanyaamu ettaka ku bululu.
6 “Do not preach,” they preach. “Do not preach these things; disgrace will not overtake us.”
Bannabbi baabwe boogera nti, “Temuwa bunnabbi, Temuwa bunnabbi ku bintu ebyo; tewali kabi kagenda kututuukako.”
7 Should it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things He does?” Do not My words bring good to him who walks uprightly?
Ekyo kye ky’okuddamu ggwe ennyumba ya Yakobo? Olowooza Omwoyo wa Mukama asunguwalira bwereere, si lwa bulungi bwo? Ebigambo bye tebiba birungi eri abo abakola obulungi?
8 But of late My people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from unsuspecting passersby like men returning from battle.
Ennaku zino abantu bange bannyimukiddeko ng’omulabe. Basika ne bambula eminagiro emirungi ne baggigya ku migongo gy’abayise ababa beetambulira mu mirembe, ng’abasajja abakomawo okuva mu lutabaalo.
9 You drive the women of My people from their pleasant homes. You take away My blessing from their children forever.
Bakazi b’abantu bange mubagoba mu mayumba gaabwe amalungi, abaana baabwe ne mubaggyirako ddala buli mukisa oguva eri Katonda.
10 Arise and depart, for this is not your place of rest, because its defilement brings destruction— a grievous destruction!
Muyimuke mugende, kubanga kino tekikyali kiwummulo kyammwe; olw’ebikolwa ebibi bye mukijjuzza, kyonoonese obutaddayo kuddaabirizika.
11 If a man of wind were to come and say falsely, “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,” he would be just the preacher for this people!
Omuntu bw’ajja n’omwoyo ogw’obulimba, n’agamba nti, “Ka mbabuulire ku ssanyu ly’omwenge gwe baagala era gwe banoonya,” oyo y’aba nnabbi w’abantu abo.
12 I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will collect the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in the midst of its pasture— a noisy throng.
“Ddala ddala ndibakuŋŋaanya mwenna, ggwe Yakobo; ndikuŋŋaanya abo abaasigalawo ku Isirayiri. Ndibakuŋŋaanya ng’akuŋŋaanya endiga ez’omu ddundiro, ng’ekisibo mu ddundiro lyakyo, ekifo kirijjula abantu.
13 One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate, and go out by it. Their King will pass through before them, the LORD as their leader.
Oyo aggulawo ekkubo alibakulembera okubaggya mu buwaŋŋanguse, abayise mu mulyango abafulumye. Era kabaka waabwe alibakulembera, Mukama alibakulembera.”
