Amos 3
1 Hear this word that YHWH has spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Muwulire ekigambo kino Mukama ky’aboogerako mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri, ennyumba yonna gye naggya mu Misiri.
2 “Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.”
“Mu bantu bonna abali ku nsi, mmwe mwekka be nalonda. Kyendiva mbabonereza olw’ebibi byammwe byonna.”
3 Do two walk together if they have not met?
Abantu ababiri bayinza okutambulira awamu wabula nga bakkiriziganyizza?
4 Does a lion roar in a forest and he has no prey? Does a young lion give out his voice from his habitation, If he has not caught?
Empologoma ewulugumira mu kisaka nga terina muyiggo? Empologoma ento ekaabira mu mpuku yaayo nga teriiko ky’ekutte?
5 Does a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no trap for it? Does a snare go up from the ground, And it does not capture prey?
Akanyonyi kayinza okugwa mu mutego nga tewali kikasikirizza? Omutego gumasuka nga teguliiko kye gukwasizza?
6 Is a horn blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And YHWH has not done [it]?
Akagombe kavugira mu kibuga abantu ne batatya? Akabenje kagwa mu kibuga nga Mukama si y’akaleese?
7 For Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets.
Naye ddala Mukama Katonda takola kintu kyonna nga tasoose kukibikkulira baweereza be, bannabbi.
8 A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not prophesy?
Empologoma ewulugumye, ani ataatye? Mukama Katonda ayogedde ani ataawe bubaka bwe?
9 “Sound to palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.
Langirira eri ebigo by’e Asudodi n’eri ebigo by’e Misiri nti, “Mujje mukuŋŋaanire ku nsozi z’e Samaliya mulabe akajagalalo akanene akali eyo n’abantu be nga bwe bajoogebwa.”
10 And they have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.”
Mukama agamba nti, “Abantu abajjuzza ebigo byabwe n’ebintu ebinyage, tebamanyi kukola kituufu.”
11 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “An adversary—and surrounding the land, And he has brought down your strength from you, And your palaces have been spoiled.”
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Omulabe alirumba ensi, n’amenyaamenya ebigo byo eby’amaanyi era n’abinyagulula.”
12 Thus said YHWH: “As the shepherd delivers from the lion’s mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So the sons of Israel are delivered, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Ng’omusumba bw’agezaako okutaasa endiga ye okuva mu kamwa k’empologoma n’asikayo amagulu abiri obubiri n’ekitundu ky’okutu, bwe batyo Abayisirayiri bwe balinunulibwa, abo abatuula mu Samaliya ku nkomerero y’ebitanda byabwe ne ku bitanda byabwe mu Ddamasiko.
13 Hear and testify to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, God of Hosts.
“Muwulirize kino era mulumirize enju ya Yakobo yonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
14 “For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And the horns of the altar have been cut off, And they have fallen to the earth.
“Ku lunaku lwe lumu lwe ndibonereza Isirayiri olw’ebibi bye, ndisaanyaawo ebyoto by’e Beseri, n’amayembe g’ekyoto galisalibwako ne gagwa wansi.
15 And I have struck the winter-house with the summer-house, And houses of ivory have perished, And many houses have been consumed,” A declaration of YHWH!
Era ndisaanyaawo ennyumba ebeerwamu mu biseera eby’obutiti, awamu n’ennyumba ebeerwamu mu biseera ey’ebbugumu; era ndimenyaamenya n’ennyumba ezayolebwa n’amasanga, ne nsanyaawo n’embiri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
