Micah 1
1 The word of YHWH that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Mu mirembe Yuda gye yagenda efugibwa bakabaka bano: Yosamu, ne Akazi, ne Keezeekiya, Mikka eyali Omumolasuuti, yafuna obubaka obuva eri Mukama, obukwata ku kibuga Samaliya ne Yerusaalemi.
2 Hear, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth, and all that is in it: and let YHWH be witness against you, YHWH from his holy temple.
Muwulire mmwe abantu mwenna, muwulire mmwe ebintu byonna ebiri mu nsi, ne bonna abagirimu, Mukama Ayinzabyonna asinziira mu yeekaalu ye entukuvu, ng’alina by’abalumiriza.
3 For, look, YHWH comes forth out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
Mulabe, Mukama ajja ng’ava mu ggulu ku ntebe ye ng’akka ku nsi ng’atambulira ku nsozi waggulu.
4 The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
N’ensozi zirisaanuukira wansi w’ebigere bye era n’ebiwonvu ne byatika ne bisaanuuka ng’ebisenge by’emizindu by’enjuki ebyokeddwa omuliro, ng’amazzi g’ekiyiriro bwe gakulukuta ku lusozi nga gayirira ku bbangabanga.
5 "All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn't it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren't they Jerusalem?
Bino byonna biribeerawo olw’okwonoona kwa Yakobo, olw’ebibi by’ennyumba ya Isirayiri. Ekibi kya Yakobo kye kiruwa? Si ye Samaliya? Kifo ki ekigulumivu ekya Yuda? Si Yerusaalemi?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
“Noolwekyo nzija kubetenta Samaliya ngifuule ebifunfugu, kifuuke nga ennimiro ey’okusimbamu emizabbibu. Ndiyiwa amayinja gaakyo mu kiwonvu N’emisingi gyakyo ne ngireka nga gyasamye.
7 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, and all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and all her images I will destroy; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return."
Bakatonda baakyo bonna be basinza, balisekulwasekulwa; ebintu byonna ebyaweebwayo ng’ebirabo mu yeekaalu biriggya omuliro; ndizikiriza bakatonda baakyo bonna be beekolera. Ng’ebirabo ebyo bwe byafunibwa mu bwenzi, bwe bityo bwe biritwalibwa mu bwenzi ne bikozesebwa.”
8 For this I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will howl like the jackals, and moan like the daughters of owls.
Kyendiva nkaaba ne nkuba ebiwoobe, ne ntambula nga sambadde ngatto, era nga ndi bukunya. Ndikaaba ng’ekibe, ne nkuba ebiwoobe ng’abaana b’ekiwuugulu.
9 For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Ekiwundu kye tekiwonyezeka, ne Yuda ky’alwadde. Kituukidde ddala ku mulyango gw’abantu bange, ne ku Yerusaalemi yennyini.
10 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not weep at all. At Beth Leaphrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
Temukibuulira mu Gaasi, temukaaba maziga n’akatono. Mwevulungulire mu nfuufu mu Besuleyafula.
11 Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won't come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
Muyiteewo nga muli bwereere nga muswadde, mmwe ababeera mu Safiri. Ababeera mu Zanani tebalifuluma. Beswezeeri ekuba ebiwoobe, kubanga tokyalinayo buddukiro.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from YHWH to the gate of Jerusalem.
Abo ab’omu Malosi bali mu kulumwa okw’amaanyi nga balindirira okubeerwa, kubanga ekibonoobono kivudde eri Mukama, ne kituuka ne ku mulyango gwa Yerusaalemi.
13 Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
Mwanguwe okusiba amagaali ku mbalaasi mmwe ababeera mu Lakisi. Mmwe nsibuko y’ekibi mu Bawala ba Sayuuni, kubanga ebibi bya Isirayiri byasangibwa mu mmwe.
14 Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
Noolwekyo muligabira Molesesu eky’e Gaasi ebirabo ebimusiibula. Ebibuga by’e Akuzibu birikakasibwa nga bya bulimba eri bakabaka ba Isirayiri.
15 I will yet bring to you, inhabitant of Mareshah. He who is the glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
Mmwe abantu b’omu Malesa, ndibasindikira alibawangula n’abafuga. Oyo ekitiibwa kya Isirayiri alijja mu Adulamu.
16 Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture; for they have gone into captivity from you.
Mukungubage, n’emitwe mugimwe olw’abaana bammwe be mwesiimisa; mumwe enviiri zammwe nga mukungubaga, emitwe gyammwe gibe ng’egy’ensega, kubanga abaana bammwe balibaggyibwako ne batwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse.
