Amos 1
1 The words of 'Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he foresaw concerning Israel in the days of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Joash the king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
Bino bye bigambo Amosi eyali omu ku balunzi b’endiga mu bitundu by’e Tekowa bye yabikkulirwa, musisi amale ajje nga wakayitawo emyaka ebiri, mu mirembe gya Uzziya kabaka wa Yuda, era nga gy’emirembe gya kabaka Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Yowaasi nga y’afuga Isirayiri.
2 And he said, The Lord will cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and then shall mourn the pastures of the shepherds, and then shall dry up the top of Carmel.
Amosi yagamba nti, “Mukama awuluguma ng’asinziira mu Sayuuni, era eddoboozi lye liwulirwa nga libwatukira mu Yerusaalemi; omuddo mu malundiro gulikala n’entikko y’olusozi Kalumeeri erisigala njereere.”
3 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have threshed [the inhabitants of] Gil'ad with threshing instruments of iron;
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Ddamasiko ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga baabonereza nnyo abantu b’e Gireyaadi nga babasalaasala n’ebyuma.
4 And I will send a fire into the house of Chazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
Ndiweereza omuliro mu lubiri lwa kabaka Kazayeeri era njokye n’ebigo bya kabaka Benikadadi.
5 And I will break the bars of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of 'Eden: and the people of Syria shall be exiled unto Kir, saith the Lord.
Era ndimenya enzigi z’ekibuga Ddamasiko era ndizikiriza kabaka ali mu Kiwonvu ky’e Aveni, oyo akwata omuggo ogw’obwakabaka mu Besiadeni. Abantu b’e Busuuli balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Kiri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
6 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Gazzah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they carried away exiles in full numbers, to deliver them up to Edom;
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Gaza ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yatwala eggwanga ddamba mu busibe n’alitunda eri Edomu.
7 And I will send a fire against the wall of Gazzah, which shall devour her palaces;
Ndiweereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Gaza ogulyokya ebigo byakyo.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against 'Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Eternal.
Ndizikiriza atuula mu Asudodi, n’oyo akwata omuggo gw’obwakabaka ndimumalawo okuva mu Asukulooni. Ndibonereza Ekuloni okutuusa lwe ndimalirawo ddala Abafirisuuti,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
9 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they delivered up the exiles in full numbers to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant;
Mukama bw’ati bw’ayogera nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Ttuulo ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yatunda eggwanga ddamba erya Edomu mu busibe n’amenya endagaano ey’obwaseruganda eyali ekoleddwa,
10 And I will send a fire against the walls of Tyre, which shall devour her palaces.
kyenaava mpeereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Ttuulo, ogunaayokya ebigo byakyo.”
11 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he pursued with the sword his brother, and disregarded his mercy, and his anger tore in pieces continually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Edomu ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yayigganya muganda we n’ekitala awatali kusaasira, obusungu bwabwe ne bubuubuuka obutakoma era ne batabusalako.
12 And I will send out a fire against Theman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Ndiweereza omuliro ku Temani oguliyokya ebigo bya Bozula.”
13 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of the children of 'Ammon, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gil'ad, in order to enlarge their own territory;
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Amoni ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Mu ntalo ez’okugaziya ensi ye, yabaaga abakazi abaali embuto ab’e Giriyaadi.
14 And I will kindle a fire within the walls of Rabbah, which shall devour her palaces, with shouting on the day of battle, with a storm on the day of the tempest;
Ndiweereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Labba, era gulyokya ebigo byakyo. Walibaawo n’oluyoogaano olunene ku lunaku olw’olutalo mu mpewo ey’amaanyi, kibuyaga ng’akunta.
15 And their king shall go into exile, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Kabaka waakyo alitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse, ye n’abakungu be bonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
