Amos 9

1 I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

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 Though they dig into the place of the dead, thence shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: (Sheol h7585)

Ne bwe balisima ne baddukira emagombe, omukono gwange gulibaggyayo. Ne bwe balirinnya waggulu mu ggulu ndibawanulayo. (Sheol h7585)

3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they are hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

Wadde balyekweka ku lusozi Kalumeeri, ndibanoonyaayo ne mbaggyayo. Ne bwe balyekweka wansi mu buziba bw’ennyanja ndiragira ogusota ne gubalumirayo.

4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes upon 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 the Lord GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell in it shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as [by] 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 [It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: the LORD [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] ye not as children of the Cushites to me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel from the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Assyrians 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 the Lord GOD [are] upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

“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 lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon 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 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor fall upon us.

Aboonoonyi bonna mu bantu bange, balifa kitala, abo bonna aboogera nti, ‘Akabi tekalitutuukako.’”

11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up their breaches; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the 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 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, who are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

balyoke batwale ekitundu kya Edomu ekyasigalawo n’amawanga gonna ge nayita okuba abantu bange,” bw’ayogera Mukama alikola ebintu ebyo byonna.

13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall 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 will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

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 will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.

Ndisimba Isirayiri mu nsi yaabwe, era tebaliggibwa nate mu nsi gye nabawa,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wammwe.
