Micah 6
1 Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
Muwulire Mukama by’ayogera ng’agamba nti, “Muyimuke leero tuwoze ensonga zammwe mu maaso g’ensozi, n’obusozi buwulire bye mugamba.
2 Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
“Kaakano mmwe ensozi muwulire Mukama ky’abavunaana; nammwe emisingi gy’ensi egy’olubeerera muwulire. Mukama alina ensonga ku bantu be era agenda kuwawabira Isirayiri.
3 O my people, what have I done to thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me,
“Mmwe abantu bange kiki kye nnali mbakoze? Nnali mbazitooweredde? Munziremu.
4 For I brought thee out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee from the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Nabaggya mu nsi ye Misiri ne mbanunula mu nsi ey’obuddu, ne mbawa Musa, ne Alooni ne Miryamu okubakulembera.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.
Mmwe abantu bange mujjukire ekigendererwa kya Balaki kabaka wa Mowaabu n’ebigambo, Balamu omwana wa Byoli bye yayogera. Mujjukire bye nabakolera okuva e Sittimu okutuuka e Girugaali mulyoke mumanye ebikolwa bya Mukama eby’obutuukirivu.”
6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, [and] bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves of a year old?
Mwebuuza nti kiki kye nnaaleeta mu maaso ga Mukama nvuuname mu maaso ga Katonda agulumizibwa? Mmusemberere n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ennyana ezaakamala omwaka ogumu?
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, [or] with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my first-born [for] my transgression, the fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
Mukama alisiima endiga eza sseddume olukumi, oba emitwalo gy’emigga gy’amafuta? Mpeeyo omwana wange omubereberye olw’ebibi byange, nga mpaayo ekibala ky’omubiri gwange olw’ekibi eky’emmeeme yange?
8 He hath shown thee, O man, what [is] good; and what the LORD doth require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Mukama akulaze, ggwe omuntu, ekirungi ky’oteekwa okukola. Kaakano, Mukama kiki ky’akwetaaza, okuggyako okukola eby’ensonga, okuba n’ekisa era n’okutambulira mu buwombeefu ne Katonda wo.
9 The LORD'S voice crieth to the city, and [the man of] wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
Wuliriza, Mukama akoowoola ekibuga mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka. “Kya magezi ddala okutya erinnya lye, n’okussaayo omwoyo eri okukangavvula n’eri oyo akangavvula.
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure [that is] abominable?
Nnyinza okwerabira eby’obugagga bye mwefunira, mmwe ennyumba erina obutali butuukirivu, erina n’ekigera ekitatuuka eky’omuzizo?
11 Shall I count [them] pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
Nnyinza okusonyiwa omuntu alina ebigera ebitatuuse, alina ensawo ez’ebipimo eby’obulimba?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
Abagagga baakyo bakambwe n’abatuuze baamu balimba n’ennimi zaabwe tezoogera mazima.
13 Therefore also will I make [thee] sick in smiting thee, in making [thee] desolate because of thy sins.
Nange kyenvudde ntandika okukuzikiriza, nkumalewo olw’ebibi byo.
14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down [shall be] in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and [that] which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
Onoolyanga, naye n’otokutta, era olubuto lwo lulisigala lutokota nga lukubanja. Oligezaako okukuŋŋaanya, weeterekere, naye tolibaako na kimu ky’otereka kubanga byonna ndibiwaayo eri ekitala.
15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
Olisiga naye tolikungula, oligezaako okusogola emizeeyituuni weggyiremu amafuta naye tolifuna mafuta gamala kusaabako, olisogola emizabbibu naye toliggyamu kyakunywa.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
Olw’okuba ng’okolera ku biragiro bya Omuli n’ogoberera n’ebikolwa byonna eby’ennyumba ya Akabu n’ogoberera n’emizizo gyabwe, kyendiva nkufuula ekifulukwa, n’abantu bo bonna babeere eky’okuduulirwa era olibaako ekivume ky’amawanga.”
