Amos 9
1 I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He says, “Strike the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head—all of them, And I slay their posterity with a sword, None that flee of them flee away, Nor a fugitive of them escape.
Bwe ntyo nate ne ndaba Mukama ng’ayimiridde ku mabbali g’ekyoto, n’ayogera nti, “Mukube emitwe gy’empagi bya yeekaalu n’amaanyi mangi, emifuubeeto gikankane. Bisesebbuke bikube emitwe gy’abantu bonna, n’abo abaliba bawonyeewo ndibattisa ekitala. Tewaliba n’omu awona.
2 If they dig through into Sheol, From there My hand takes them, And if they go up [to] the heavens, From there I cause them to come down. (Sheol h7585)
Ne bwe balisima ne baddukira emagombe, omukono gwange gulibaggyayo. Ne bwe balirinnya waggulu mu ggulu ndibawanulayo. (Sheol h7585)
3 And if they are hid in the top of Carmel, From there I search out, and have taken them, And if they are hid from My eyes in the bottom of the sea, From there I command the serpent, And it has bitten them.
Wadde balyekweka ku lusozi Kalumeeri, ndibanoonyaayo ne mbaggyayo. Ne bwe balyekweka wansi mu buziba bw’ennyanja ndiragira ogusota ne gubalumirayo.
4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From there I command the sword, And it has slain them, And I have set My eye on them for evil, And not for good.”
Ne bwe balitwalibwa abalabe baabwe mu buwaŋŋanguse, era nayo ndiragira ekitala ne kibattirayo. Ndibasimba amaaso ne batuukibwako bibi so si birungi.”
5 And [it is] the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melts, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And all of it has come up as a flood, And it has sunk—like the flood of Egypt.
Era Mukama, Mukama ow’Eggye, akwata ku nsi n’esaanuuka, abantu baayo bonna abagibeeramu ne bakungubaga, ensi yonna n’etumbiira nga Kiyira ate n’ekka ng’amazzi g’omugga gw’e Misiri;
6 Who is building His upper chambers in the heavens; As for His troop, On earth He has founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the face of the land, YHWH [is] His Name.
oyo eyazimba olubiri lwe olulungi ennyo mu ggulu, omusingi gwalwo ne gubeera ku nsi, ayita amazzi g’ennyanja, n’agayiwa wansi ku lukalu, Mukama lye linnya lye.
7 “Are you not as sons of Cushim to Me, O sons of Israel?” A declaration of YHWH. “Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?
Mukama ayongera n’agamba nti, “Mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri temuli ng’Abakuusi gye ndi? Ssabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri nga bwe naggya Abafirisuuti e Katufoli, n’Abasuuli e Kiri?”
8 Behold, [the] eyes of Lord YHWH [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I do not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” A declaration of YHWH.
“Ddala ddala amaaso ga Mukama Katonda, gatunuulidde nkaliriza obwakabaka obwonoonyi. Ndibuzikiriza ne mbusaasaanya okuva ku nsi. Kyokka sirizikiririza ddala ennyumba ya Yakobo okugimalawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
9 “For behold, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] shakes with a sieve, And there does not fall a grain [to] the earth.
“Kubanga ndiwa ekiragiro, ennyumba ya Isirayiri erinyeenyezebwa mu mawanga gonna, ng’emmere ey’empeke bwe kuŋŋutibwa mu kakuŋŋunta era tewaliba kayinja akaligwa wansi.
10 By sword all sinners of My people die, Who are saying, Evil does not overtake, or go before, For our sakes.
Aboonoonyi bonna mu bantu bange, balifa kitala, abo bonna aboogera nti, ‘Akabi tekalitutuukako.’”
11 In that day I raise the dwelling place of David that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And I raise up its ruins, And I have built it up as in days of old,
“Mu biro ebyo ndizzaawo ennyumba ya Dawudi eyagwa era ndiddaabiriza ebifo ebyamenyebwamenyebwa, ne nzizaawo ebyali amatongo, ne biba nga bwe byabeeranga,
12 So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My Name is called,” A declaration of YHWH—the doer of this.
balyoke batwale ekitundu kya Edomu ekyasigalawo n’amawanga gonna ge nayita okuba abantu bange,” bw’ayogera Mukama alikola ebintu ebyo byonna.
13 “Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And the plowman has come near to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills melt.
“Ennaku zijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “akungula lw’alisinga asiga, n’asiga ensigo lw’alisinga atunda emizabbibu. Wayini omuggya alitonnya okuva mu nsozi, n’akulukuta okuva mu busozi.
14 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.
Ndikomyawo abantu bange Isirayiri okuva mu buwaŋŋanguse, ne bazimba nate ebibuga ebyamenyebwa, babibeeremu. Balisimba ennimiro zaabwe ez’emizabbibu ne banywa wayini avaamu, era balisimba ennimiro balye ebibala byamu.
15 And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up anymore from off their own ground, That I have given to them,” said your God YHWH!
Ndisimba Isirayiri mu nsi yaabwe, era tebaliggibwa nate mu nsi gye nabawa,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wammwe.
