Micah 1
1 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Micah the Morashite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, that he hath seen 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, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its fulness, And the Lord Jehovah is against you for a witness, The Lord 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 lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth.
Mulabe, Mukama ajja ng’ava mu ggulu ku ntebe ye ng’akka ku nsi ng’atambulira ku nsozi waggulu.
4 Melted have been the mountains under Him, And the valleys do rend themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters cast down by a slope.
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 For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, And for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what the high places of Judah? Is it not 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 And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her stones, And her foundations I uncover.
“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 And all her graven images are beaten down, And all her gifts are burnt with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation, For, from the hire of a harlot she gathered, and unto the hire of a harlot 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 lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.
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 mortal [are] her wounds, For it hath come unto Judah, It hath come to a gate of My people — to Jerusalem.
Ekiwundu kye tekiwonyezeka, ne Yuda ky’alwadde. Kituukidde ddala ku mulyango gw’abantu bange, ne ku Yerusaalemi yennyini.
10 In Gath tell ye not — in Acco weep not, In Beth-Aphrah, in dust roll thyself.
Temukibuulira mu Gaasi, temukaaba maziga n’akatono. Mwevulungulire mu nfuufu mu Besuleyafula.
11 Pass over for thee, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. Not gone out hath the inhabitant of Zaanan, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel doth take from you its standing.
Muyiteewo nga muli bwereere nga muswadde, mmwe ababeera mu Safiri. Ababeera mu Zanani tebalifuluma. Beswezeeri ekuba ebiwoobe, kubanga tokyalinayo buddukiro.
12 For stayed for good hath the inhabitant of Maroth, For evil hath come down from Jehovah 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 Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, For in thee have been found the transgressions of Israel.
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 thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying 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 Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.
Mmwe abantu b’omu Malesa, ndibasindikira alibawangula n’abafuga. Oyo ekitiibwa kya Isirayiri alijja mu Adulamu.
16 Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from thee!
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.
