Amos 2
1 Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Mowaabu ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yayokya amagumba ga kabaka wa Edomu ne gafuuka evvu.
2 But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a trumpet.
Ndiweereza omuliro ku Mowaabu era gulyokya ebigo bya Keriyoosi. Abantu ba Mowaabu balifiira wakati mu kusasamala okungi omuliba okuleekaana n’okufuuwa amakondeere.
3 And I will destroy the judge out of her, and kill all her princes with him, says the Lord.
Ndizikiriza omukulembeze wa Mowaabu n’abakungu baamu bonna, ndibatta,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
4 Thus says the Lord; For three sins of the children of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his ordinances, and their vain [idols] which they made, which their fathers followed, caused them to err.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Yuda ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga banyoomye amateeka ga Mukama, ne batakuuma biragiro bye nabawa ne bagondera bakatonda ab’obulimba bajjajjaabwe be baagobereranga.
5 And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.
Ndiweereza omuliro ku Yuda ne njokya ebigo bya Yerusaalemi.”
6 Thus says the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for sandals,
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Isirayiri ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Batunda obutuukirivu bafune ffeeza, ne batunda n’abaavu olw’omugogo gw’engatto.
7 wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have struck upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.
Balinnyiririra emitwe gy’abaavu mu nfuufu, n’abajoogebwa ne batalamulwa mu bwenkanya. Omwana ne kitaawe bayingira eri omuwala omu ne boonoona erinnya lyange.
8 And binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk wine gained by extortion in the house of their God.
Bagalamira okumpi ne buli kyoto ku ngoye ezaweebwayo ng’obweyamo. Mu nnyumba ya bakatonda baabwe mwe banywera omwenge oguleetebwa abatanziddwa.
9 Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
“Nazikiriza Abamoli ku lwabwe newaakubadde nga baali bawanvu ng’emivule era nga ba maanyi ng’emyera. Nazikiriza ebibala ebyali waggulu okutuuka ku mirandira egyali wansi.
10 And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that you should inherit the land of the Amorites.
Nakuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, ne nkukulemberera emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu, weetwalire ensi y’Abamoli.
11 And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, you sons of Israel? says the Lord.
“Nayimusa abamu ku batabani bammwe okubeera bannabbi, ne ku balenzi bammwe okuba Abawonge ba Mukama. Si bwe kiri bwe kityo abantu ba Isirayiri?” bw’ayogera Mukama.
12 But you gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and you commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
“Naye mmwe ne mudda mu kuwa Abawonge ba Mukama omwenge okunywa, ne muwa bannabbi amateeka nga mubagamba nti temuwa byabunnabbi.
13 Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.
“Laba, ndibasesebbula ng’eggaali eryettisse ebinywa by’emmere ey’empeke bwe lisesebbula ekiri mu kkubo lyalyo.
14 And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not save his life:
Abanguwa tebaliwona, n’ab’amaanyi tebalikuŋŋaanya maanyi gaabwe era n’omuzira nnamige talisobola kuwonya bulamu bwe.
15 and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape; and the horseman shall not save his life.
Omukubi w’obusaale omukugu taliyimirira kunywera, n’omuserikale ow’ebigere nnakinku talisobola kuwenyuka. Abo abasajja abazira abeebagazi b’embalaasi tebalisobola kuwonya bulamu bwabwe.
16 And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, says the Lord.
Ku lunaku olwo abalwanyi abazira nnamige balidduka bukunya!” bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama.
