Micah 7
1 My woe [is] to me, For I have been as gatherings of summer-fruit, As gleanings of harvest, There is no cluster to eat, The first-ripe fruit has my soul desired.
Ddala zinsanze nze. Ndi ng’omuntu akungula ebibala okuva mu bifo eby’enjawulo eby’ennimiro y’emizabbibu; tewali kirimba kya mizabbibu kulyako, wadde emizeeyituuni egisooka okwengera gye njagala ennyo.
2 The kind have perished out of the land, And upright among men—there are none, All of them lie in wait for blood, They each hunt his brother [with] a net.
Abantu abatya Katonda, baweddewo mu nsi; tewali n’omu mulongoofu asigaddewo. Bonna banoonya okuyiwa omusaayi, buli omu anoonya okutega muganda we ekitimba.
3 On the evil [are] both hands to do [it] well, The prince is asking—also the judge—for repayment, And the great—he is speaking the mischief of his soul, And they wrap it up.
Emikono gyabwe gyombi mikugu mu kukola ebibi; omufuzi asaba ebirabo, n’omulamuzi alya enguzi, n’ab’amaanyi mu nsi, beekolera kye baagala nga basala enkwe.
4 Their best one [is] as a brier, The upright one—than a thorn-hedge, The day of your watchmen—Your visitation—has come. Now is their perplexity.
Mu abo bonna asingamu obulungi, afaanana ng’omweramannyo; asingamu ku mazima y’asinga olukomera lw’amaggwa obubi. Naye olunaku lw’abakuumi bammwe lutuuse, era kino kye kiseera eky’okutabukatabuka.
5 Do not believe in a friend, Do not trust in a leader, From her who is lying in your bosom keep the openings of your mouth.
Tewesiga muntu n’omu, wadde mukwano gwo, newaakubadde mukazi wo, Weegendereze by’oyogera.
6 For a son is dishonoring a father, A daughter has stood against her mother, A daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, The enemies of each [are] the men of his house.
Kubanga omulenzi agaya kitaawe, n’omwana alwanyisa nnyina, muka mwana n’alwanyisa nnyazaala we. Abalabe b’omuntu, bantu be, ab’omu nju ye bennyini.
7 And I—in YHWH I watch, I wait for the God of my salvation, My God hears me.
Naye nze nnindirira Mukama nga nnina essuubi, nnindirira Katonda Omulokozi wange; Katonda wange anampulira.
8 You do not rejoice over me, O my enemy, When I have fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness YHWH is a light to me.
Tonjeeyereza ggwe omulabe wange, kubanga wadde ngudde, nnaayimuka. Ne bwe naatuula mu kizikiza, Mukama anaabeera ekitangaala kyange.
9 I bear the indignation of YHWH, For I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my cause, And has executed my judgment, He brings me forth to the light, I look on His righteousness.
Nnaagumikirizanga Mukama bw’anaabanga ambonereza, kubanga nnyonoonye mu maaso ge, okutuusa lw’alimpolereza, n’anziza buggya. Alindeeta mu kitangaala, era ndiraba obutuukirivu bwe.
10 And my enemy sees, And shame covers her, Who says to me, “Where [is] your God YHWH?” My eyes look on her, Now she is for a treading-place, As mire of the out-places.
Olwo omulabe wange alikiraba, n’aswala, oyo eyanjeeyerezanga ng’agamba nti, “Ali ludda wa Mukama Katonda wo?” Ndisanyuka ng’agudde, era alirinnyirirwa ng’ebitoomi eby’omu nguudo.
11 The day to build your walls! That day—removed is the limit.
Olunaku olw’okuzimba bbugwe wo lulituuka, olunaku olw’okugaziya ensalo yo.
12 That day—even to you it comes in, From Asshur and the cities of the fortress, And from the fortress even to the river, And from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
Mu biro ebyo abantu balijja gy’oli nga bava mu Bwasuli ne mu bibuga by’e Misiri, n’okuva e Misiri okutuuka ku mugga Fulaati, n’okuva ku nnyanja emu okutuuka ku nnyanja endala, n’okuva ku lusozi olumu okutuuka ku lusozi olulala.
13 And the land has been for a desolation, Because of its inhabitants, Because of the fruit of their doings.
Ensi erifuuka matongo, olw’ebikolwa by’abantu abagibeeramu.
14 Rule Your people with Your rod, The flock of Your inheritance, Dwelling alone [in] a forest in the midst of Carmel, They enjoy Bashan and Gilead as in days of old.
Lunda abantu bo n’omuggo gwo, ekisibo kye weeroboza, ababeera bokka mu kibira mu malundiro amagimu. Baleke baliire mu Basani ne Gireyaadi, nga mu biseera eby’edda.
15 “According to the days of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I show it wonderful things.”
Nga bwe kyali mu nnaku ze mwaviiramu mu Misiri, nzija kubalaga ebikulu eby’ekitalo.
16 Nations see, and they are ashamed of all their might, They lay a hand on the mouth, their ears are deaf.
Amawanga galikiraba ne gakwatibwa ensonyi, ne gamalibwamu amaanyi. Abantu baago balikwata ku mimwa gyabwe n’amatu gaabwe ne gaziba.
17 They lick dust as a serpent, as fearful things of earth, They tremble from their enclosures, They are afraid of our God YHWH, Indeed, they are afraid of You.
Balirya enfuufu ng’omusota, ng’ebisolo ebyewalula. Balifuluma obunnya bwabwe nga bakankana ne bakyuka okudda eri Mukama Katonda waffe, ne babatya.
18 Who [is] a God like You? Taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He has not retained His anger forever, Because He delights [in] kindness.
Katonda ki omulala ali nga ggwe, asonyiwa ekibi era n’asonyiwa ebyonoono byabo abaasigalawo ku bantu be? Obusungu bwe tebubeerera emirembe gyonna, naye asanyukira okusaasira.
19 He turns back, He pities us, He subdues our iniquities, And You cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Alikyuka n’atukwatirwa ekisa nate; alirinnyirira ebibi byaffe, n’asuula ebyonoono byaffe byonna mu buziba bw’ennyanja.
20 You give truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, That You have sworn to our fathers, from the days of antiquity!
Olikola eby’amazima bye wasuubiza Yakobo, n’ebyekisa bye wasuubiza Ibulayimu, nga bwe weeyama eri bajjajjaffe okuva mu nnaku ez’edda.
