Micah 6
1 Hearken ye nowe what the Lord sayth, Arise thou, and contende before the mountaines, and let the hilles heare thy voyce.
Muwulire Mukama by’ayogera ng’agamba nti, “Muyimuke leero tuwoze ensonga zammwe mu maaso g’ensozi, n’obusozi buwulire bye mugamba.
2 Heare ye, O mountaynes, the Lordes quarel, and ye mightie foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a quarell against his people, and he will pleade with Israel.
“Kaakano mmwe ensozi muwulire Mukama ky’abavunaana; nammwe emisingi gy’ensi egy’olubeerera muwulire. Mukama alina ensonga ku bantu be era agenda kuwawabira Isirayiri.
3 O my people, what haue I done vnto thee? or wherin haue I grieued thee? testifie against me.
“Mmwe abantu bange kiki kye nnali mbakoze? Nnali mbazitooweredde? Munziremu.
4 Surely I brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of seruants, and I haue sent before thee, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Nabaggya mu nsi ye Misiri ne mbanunula mu nsi ey’obuddu, ne mbawa Musa, ne Alooni ne Miryamu okubakulembera.
5 O my people, remember nowe what Balak King of Moab had deuised, and what Balaam the sonne of Beor answered him, from Shittim vnto Gilgal, that ye may knowe the righteousnes of the Lord.
Mmwe abantu bange mujjukire ekigendererwa kya Balaki kabaka wa Mowaabu n’ebigambo, Balamu omwana wa Byoli bye yayogera. Mujjukire bye nabakolera okuva e Sittimu okutuuka e Girugaali mulyoke mumanye ebikolwa bya Mukama eby’obutuukirivu.”
6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bowe my selfe before the hie God? Shall I come before him with burnt offrings, and with calues of a yeere olde?
Mwebuuza nti kiki kye nnaaleeta mu maaso ga Mukama nvuuname mu maaso ga Katonda agulumizibwa? Mmusemberere n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ennyana ezaakamala omwaka ogumu?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand riuers of oyle? shall I giue my first borne for my transgression, euen the fruite of my bodie, for the sinne of my soule?
Mukama alisiima endiga eza sseddume olukumi, oba emitwalo gy’emigga gy’amafuta? Mpeeyo omwana wange omubereberye olw’ebibi byange, nga mpaayo ekibala ky’omubiri gwange olw’ekibi eky’emmeeme yange?
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: surely to doe iustly, and to loue mercie, and to humble thy selfe, to walke with thy God.
Mukama akulaze, ggwe omuntu, ekirungi ky’oteekwa okukola. Kaakano, Mukama kiki ky’akwetaaza, okuggyako okukola eby’ensonga, okuba n’ekisa era n’okutambulira mu buwombeefu ne Katonda wo.
9 The Lordes voyce cryeth vnto the citie, and the man of wisedome shall see thy name: Heare the rodde, and who hath appoynted it.
Wuliriza, Mukama akoowoola ekibuga mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka. “Kya magezi ddala okutya erinnya lye, n’okussaayo omwoyo eri okukangavvula n’eri oyo akangavvula.
10 Are yet the treasures of wickednes in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure, that is abominable?
Nnyinza okwerabira eby’obugagga bye mwefunira, mmwe ennyumba erina obutali butuukirivu, erina n’ekigera ekitatuuka eky’omuzizo?
11 Shall I iustifie the wicked balances, and the bag of deceitfull weightes?
Nnyinza okusonyiwa omuntu alina ebigera ebitatuuse, alina ensawo ez’ebipimo eby’obulimba?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of crueltie, and the inhabitants thereof haue spoken lyes, and their tongue is deceitfull in their mouth.
Abagagga baakyo bakambwe n’abatuuze baamu balimba n’ennimi zaabwe tezoogera mazima.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sicke in smiting thee, and in making thee desolate, because of thy sinnes.
Nange kyenvudde ntandika okukuzikiriza, nkumalewo olw’ebibi byo.
14 Thou shalt eate and not be satisfied, and thy casting downe shall be in the mids of thee, and thou shalt take holde, but shalt not deliuer: and that which thou deliuerest, will I giue vp to the sworde.
Onoolyanga, naye n’otokutta, era olubuto lwo lulisigala lutokota nga lukubanja. Oligezaako okukuŋŋaanya, weeterekere, naye tolibaako na kimu ky’otereka kubanga byonna ndibiwaayo eri ekitala.
15 Thou shalt sowe, but not reape: thou shalt treade the oliues, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oyle, and make sweete wine, but shalt not drinke wine.
Olisiga naye tolikungula, oligezaako okusogola emizeeyituuni weggyiremu amafuta naye tolifuna mafuta gamala kusaabako, olisogola emizabbibu naye toliggyamu kyakunywa.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the maner of the house of Ahab, and ye walke in their counsels, that I should make thee waste, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall beare the reproche of my people.
Olw’okuba ng’okolera ku biragiro bya Omuli n’ogoberera n’ebikolwa byonna eby’ennyumba ya Akabu n’ogoberera n’emizizo gyabwe, kyendiva nkufuula ekifulukwa, n’abantu bo bonna babeere eky’okuduulirwa era olibaako ekivume ky’amawanga.”
