Amos 2
1 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of the king of Edom even to ashes.
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 And I will seed a fire into Moab, and it shall devour the houses of Carioth: and Moab shall die with a noise, with the sound of the 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 cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all his princes with him, saith the Lord.
Ndizikiriza omukulembeze wa Mowaabu n’abakungu baamu bonna, ndibatta,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
4 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Juda, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath cast away the law of the Lord, and hath not kept his commandments: for their idols have caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked.
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 into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem.
Ndiweereza omuliro ku Yuda ne njokya ebigo bya Yerusaalemi.”
6 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of shoes.
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 They bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to the same young woman, to profane my holy name.
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 they sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and drank the wine of the condemned 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 Yet I cast out the Amorrhite before their face: whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as an oak: and I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots 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 It is I that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I led you forty years through the wilderness, that you might possess the land of the Amorrhite.
Nakuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, ne nkukulemberera emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu, weetwalire ensi y’Abamoli.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not so, O ye children of Israel, saith 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 And you will present wine to the Nazarites: and command 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 Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay.
“Laba, ndibasesebbula ng’eggaali eryettisse ebinywa by’emmere ey’empeke bwe lisesebbula ekiri mu kkubo lyalyo.
14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life.
Abanguwa tebaliwona, n’ab’amaanyi tebalikuŋŋaanya maanyi gaabwe era n’omuzira nnamige talisobola kuwonya bulamu bwe.
15 And he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot shall not escape, neither shall the rider of the horse 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 stout of heart among the valiant shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
Ku lunaku olwo abalwanyi abazira nnamige balidduka bukunya!” bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama.
