Amos 5
1 Hear the word this which I [am] lifting up on you a lamentation O house of Israel.
Muwulirize mmwe abantu ba Isirayiri ekigambo kino eky’ennaku ekibakwatako.
2 She has fallen not she will repeat to rise [the] virgin of Israel she has been abandoned on own land her there not [is one who] raises up her.
“Isirayiri embeerera agudde obutayimuka nate. Bamwabulidde era tewali amuyimusa.”
3 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh the city which goes out a thousand it will have left a hundred and which goes out a hundred it will have left ten of [the] house of Israel.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Ekibuga ekiyungula abalwanyi olukumi okugenda mu lutalo kirisigazaawo kikumi bokka, n’ekyo ekiweereza ekikumi, kirizza kkumi bokka!”
4 For thus he says Yahweh to [the] house of Israel seek me and live.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri nti, “Munnoonye kale munaabanga balamu.
5 And may not you seek Beth-el and Gilgal not you must go and Beer Sheba not you must pass over for Gilgal certainly it will go into exile and Beth-el it will become trouble.
Temunnoonyeza Beseri so temulaga Girugaali wadde okulaga e Beeruseba. Kubanga abantu b’e Girugaali balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse era ne Beseri kiriggwaawo.”
6 Seek Yahweh and live lest he should rush like fire [the] house of Joseph and it will consume and not [one who] extinguishes [it] [will belong] to Beth-el.
Munoonye Mukama munaabanga balamu aleme okubuubuuka ng’omuliro ku nnyumba ya Yusufu; guligyokya nga tewali wa kuguzikiza mu Beseri.
7 O those [who] turn into wormwood justice and righteousness to the ground they thrust down.
Mmwe abantu ba Isirayiri abafuula obwenkanya okuba eky’okufumwa obufumwa mutulugunya obutuukirivu.
8 [the] maker of Pleiades and Orion and [the one who] turns into morning deep darkness and day night he makes dark the [one who] summons [the] waters of the sea and he poured out them on [the] surface of the earth [is] Yahweh name his.
Oyo eyakola ettendo eriri mu mmunyeenye ezaaka ng’ebizungirizi era afuula ekisiikirize okubeera enkya era akyusa obudde ne buva mu kitangaala ne bufuuka ekiro, ayita amazzi g’omu nnyanja ne gafukirira ensi ng’enkuba, Mukama lye linnya lye.
9 The [who] causes to flash devastation on [the] strong and devastation on a fortress it will come.
Okutemya n’okuzibula aleeta okuzikirira ku b’amaanyi era n’asaanyaawo ebibuga ebiriko ebigo.
10 They hate in the gate [one who] reproves and [one who] speaks blameless they abhor.
Mukyawa abalamuzi abasalawo mu bwenkanya era munyooma n’abo aboogera amazima.
11 Therefore because trample you on [the] poor and a portion of grain you take from him houses of hewn [stone] you have built and not you will dwell in them vineyards of delight you have planted and not you will drink wine their.
Olinnyirira omwavu, n’omuwaliriza okukuwa emmere ey’empeke. Newaakubadde nga mwezimbidde amayumba ag’amayinja, temuligabeeramu; era newaakubadde nga mwesimbidde ennimiro z’emizabbibu ennungi, temulinywa ku wayini waamu.
12 For I know many transgressions your and numerous sins your O opposers of [the] righteous O takers of ransom and needy [people] in the gate they turn aside.
Ebibi byammwe mbimanyi, nga bingi ate nga bisasamaza. Munyigiriza omutuukirivu ne mulya n’enguzi, abaavu temubasalira musango mu bwenkanya.
13 Therefore the prudent [person] at the time that he will be silent for [is] a time evil it.
Noolwekyo oyo alina amagezi kyaliva asirika obusirisi mu biseera ng’ebyo kubanga ennaku mbi.
14 Seek good and may not [it be] evil so that you will live and it may be thus Yahweh God of hosts [will be] with you just as you have said.
Munoonyenga okukola obulungi, so si obubi munaabeeranga balamu! Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye anaabeeranga mubeezi wammwe nga bulijjo bwe mumuyita.
15 Hate evil and love good and set up in the gate justice perhaps he will show favor to Yahweh God of hosts [the] remnant of Joseph.
Mukyawe ekibi, mwagalenga ekirungi era embuga z’amateeka zibeerengamu obwenkanya. Oboolyawo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye anaabakwatirwa ekisa abantu abo abaasigalawo ku Yusufu.
16 Therefore thus he says Yahweh God of hosts [the] Lord [will be] in all [the] open places wailing and in all [the] streets people will say alas! alas! and people will call a farmer to mourning and wailing to [those who] know lamentation.
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Walibeerawo okwaziirana mu nguudo n’okukaaba mu buli kibangirizi eky’omu kibuga. N’abalimi baliyitibwa, bakaabe, n’abakungubazi bakube ebiwoobe.
17 And [will be] in all [the] vineyards wailing for I will pass in midst your he says Yahweh.
Walibaawo okukaaba mu buli nnimiro ya mizabbibu kubanga nzija okuyita wakati mu mmwe.”
18 Woe to! those [who] desire [the] day of Yahweh why? this to you [the] day of Yahweh it [will be] darkness and not light.
Zibasanze mmwe abasuubira olunaku lwa Mukama. Lwaki mwesunga olunaku lwa Mukama? Olunaku olwo luliba kizikiza so si kitangaala.
19 Just as he flees someone from before the lion and it meets him the bear and he goes the house and he leans hand his on the wall and it bites him the snake.
Olunaku olwo lulibeera ng’omusajja adduka empologoma n’asisinkana eddubu, bw’aba ng’ayingira mu nnyumba ne yeekwata ku kisenge, ate n’abojjebwa omusota.
20 ¿ Not [be] darkness [will] [the] day of Yahweh and not light and gloomy and not brightness [will belong] to it.
Olunaku lwa Mukama, teruliba kizikiza awatali kitangaala n’akatono, ng’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo?
21 I hate I reject feasts your and not I delight in assemblies your.
Nkyawa, era nnyooma embaga zammwe n’emikolo gyammwe egy’eddiini so sisanyukira kukuŋŋaana kwammwe.
22 That except you will offer up to me burnt offerings and grain offerings your not I will accept [them] and [the] peace offering of fatlings your not I will pay attention to.
Weewaawo, ne bwe munaawaayo gye ndi ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo eby’emmere ey’empeke, sijja kubikkiriza. Ne bwe mulireeta ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe ebisinga obulungi, siribikkiriza.
23 Remove from with me [the] noise of songs your and [the] music of lyres your not I will listen to.
Muggyeewo ennyimba zammwe ez’okutendereza. Siriwuliriza na bivuga ng’entongooli zammwe.
24 And it may roll on like water justice and righteousness like a wadi ever-flowing.
Kye njagala okulaba ge mazima n’obwenkanya nga bikulukuta ng’amazzi, n’obutuukirivu nga bukulukuta ng’omugga ogw’amaanyi.
25 ¿ Sacrifices and grain offering[s] did you bring near to me in the wilderness forty year[s] O house of Israel.
“Mwandeeteranga ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo mu ddungu emyaka gyonna amakumi ana, ggw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri?
26 And you will lift up Sikkuth king your and Kiyyun images your [the] star of gods your which you made for yourselves.
Muyimusizza essabo lya kabaka wammwe, amaanyi ga bakatonda bammwe, n’emmunyeenye ya katonda wammwe, bye mwekolera mmwe.
27 And I will send into exile you from beyond Damascus he says [is] Yahweh God of hosts name his.
Kyendiva mbawaŋŋangusa okusukka Ddamasiko,” bw’ayogera Mukama, ayitibwa Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
