< Micah 2 >

1 Woe vnto them, that imagine iniquitie, and worke wickednesse vpon their beddes: when the morning is light they practise it because their hande hath power.
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 And they couet fields, and take them by violence, and houses, and take them away: so they oppresse a man and his house, euen man and his heritage.
Beegomba ebyalo ne babitwala, ne beegomba ennyumba nazo ne bazitwala. Banyigiriza omuntu ne batwala amaka ge olw’amaanyi, ne bamubbako ebyobusika bwe.
3 Therefore thus saieth the Lord, Beholde, against this familie haue I deuised a plague, whereout yee shall not plucke your neckes, and ye shall not go so proudly, for this time is euill.
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 daye shall they take vp a parable against you, and lament with a dolefull lamentation, and say, We be vtterly wasted: hee hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he taken it away to restore it vnto mee? he hath deuided our fieldes.
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 thou shalt haue none that shall cast a corde by lot in the Congregation of the Lord.
Noolwekyo tewalisigalawo muntu n’omu mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama, aligabanyaamu ettaka ku bululu.
6 They that prophecied, Prophecie ye not. They shall not prophecie to them, neither shall they take shame.
Bannabbi baabwe boogera nti, “Temuwa bunnabbi, Temuwa bunnabbi ku bintu ebyo; tewali kabi kagenda kututuukako.”
7 O thou that art named of the house of Iaakob, is the Spirite of the Lord shortened? are these his workes? are not my wordes good vnto him that walketh vprightly?
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 hee that was yesterday my people, is risen vp on the other side, as against an enemie: they spoyle the beautifull garment from them that passe by peaceably, as though they returned from the warre.
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 The women of my people haue ye cast out from their pleasant houses, and from their childre haue ye taken away my glorie continually.
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 rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, euen with a sore destruction.
Muyimuke mugende, kubanga kino tekikyali kiwummulo kyammwe; olw’ebikolwa ebibi bye mukijjuzza, kyonoonese obutaddayo kuddaabirizika.
11 If a man walke in the Spirit, and would lie falsely, saying, I wil prophecie vnto thee of wine, and of strong drinke, he shall euen be the prophet of 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 thee wholy, O Iaakob: I will surely gather the remnant of Israel: I will put them together as the sheepe of Bozrah, euen as the flocke in the mids of their folde: the cities shall be full of brute of the men.
“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 The breaker vp shall come vp before them: they shall breake out, and passe by the gate, and goe out by it, and their King shall goe before them, and the Lord shalbe vpon their heades.
Oyo aggulawo ekkubo alibakulembera okubaggya mu buwaŋŋanguse, abayise mu mulyango abafulumye. Era kabaka waabwe alibakulembera, Mukama alibakulembera.”
