Amosi 1
1 Bino bye bigambo Amosi eyali omu ku balunzi b’endiga mu bitundu by’e Tekowa bye yabikkulirwa, musisi amale ajje nga wakayitawo emyaka ebiri, mu mirembe gya Uzziya kabaka wa Yuda, era nga gy’emirembe gya kabaka Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Yowaasi nga y’afuga Isirayiri.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Amosi yagamba nti, “Mukama awuluguma ng’asinziira mu Sayuuni, era eddoboozi lye liwulirwa nga libwatukira mu Yerusaalemi; omuddo mu malundiro gulikala n’entikko y’olusozi Kalumeeri erisigala njereere.”
And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Ddamasiko ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga baabonereza nnyo abantu b’e Gireyaadi nga babasalaasala n’ebyuma.
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4 Ndiweereza omuliro mu lubiri lwa kabaka Kazayeeri era njokye n’ebigo bya kabaka Benikadadi.
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 Era ndimenya enzigi z’ekibuga Ddamasiko era ndizikiriza kabaka ali mu Kiwonvu ky’e Aveni, oyo akwata omuggo ogw’obwakabaka mu Besiadeni. Abantu b’e Busuuli balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Kiri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holds the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, says the LORD.
6 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Gaza ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yatwala eggwanga ddamba mu busibe n’alitunda eri Edomu.
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
7 Ndiweereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Gaza ogulyokya ebigo byakyo.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:
8 Ndizikiriza atuula mu Asudodi, n’oyo akwata omuggo gw’obwakabaka ndimumalawo okuva mu Asukulooni. Ndibonereza Ekuloni okutuusa lwe ndimalirawo ddala Abafirisuuti,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holds the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the Lord GOD.
9 Mukama bw’ati bw’ayogera nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Ttuulo ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yatunda eggwanga ddamba erya Edomu mu busibe n’amenya endagaano ey’obwaseruganda eyali ekoleddwa,
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
10 kyenaava mpeereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Ttuulo, ogunaayokya ebigo byakyo.”
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
11 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Edomu ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yayigganya muganda we n’ekitala awatali kusaasira, obusungu bwabwe ne bubuubuuka obutakoma era ne batabusalako.
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
12 Ndiweereza omuliro ku Temani oguliyokya ebigo bya Bozula.”
But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Amoni ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Mu ntalo ez’okugaziya ensi ye, yabaaga abakazi abaali embuto ab’e Giriyaadi.
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
14 Ndiweereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Labba, era gulyokya ebigo byakyo. Walibaawo n’oluyoogaano olunene ku lunaku olw’olutalo mu mpewo ey’amaanyi, kibuyaga ng’akunta.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
15 Kabaka waakyo alitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse, ye n’abakungu be bonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, says the LORD.
