Amosi 3
1 Muwulire ekigambo kino Mukama ky’aboogerako mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri, ennyumba yonna gye naggya mu Misiri.
Hear ye this word, which Yahweh hath spoken, concerning you, ye sons of Israel, —concerning the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt saying: —
2 “Mu bantu bonna abali ku nsi, mmwe mwekka be nalonda. Kyendiva mbabonereza olw’ebibi byammwe byonna.”
Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
3 Abantu ababiri bayinza okutambulira awamu wabula nga bakkiriziganyizza?
Can two walk together, —except they meet?
4 Empologoma ewulugumira mu kisaka nga terina muyiggo? Empologoma ento ekaabira mu mpuku yaayo nga teriiko ky’ekutte?
Will a lion roar in the forest, when, prey, he hath none? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den, when he hath made no capture?
5 Akanyonyi kayinza okugwa mu mutego nga tewali kikasikirizza? Omutego gumasuka nga teguliiko kye gukwasizza?
Will a bird fall upon a net to the earth, when there is no, snare, for it? Will a net rise from the ground, when it hath, captured nothing?
6 Akagombe kavugira mu kibuga abantu ne batatya? Akabenje kagwa mu kibuga nga Mukama si y’akaleese?
Or a horn be blown in a city, and, a people, not tremble? Or calamity happen in a city, and, Yahweh, not have wrought with effect?
7 Naye ddala Mukama Katonda takola kintu kyonna nga tasoose kukibikkulira baweereza be, bannabbi.
Surely My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, —except he have disclosed his secret unto his servants, the prophets!
8 Empologoma ewulugumye, ani ataatye? Mukama Katonda ayogedde ani ataawe bubaka bwe?
A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to prophesy?
9 Langirira eri ebigo by’e Asudodi n’eri ebigo by’e Misiri nti, “Mujje mukuŋŋaanire ku nsozi z’e Samaliya mulabe akajagalalo akanene akali eyo n’abantu be nga bwe bajoogebwa.”
Announce it over the palaces in Ashdod, and over the palaces in the land of Egypt, —and say ye—Gather yourselves together upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold ye—the great disorders in the midst thereof, and the oppressed within her.
10 Mukama agamba nti, “Abantu abajjuzza ebigo byabwe n’ebintu ebinyage, tebamanyi kukola kituufu.”
Therefore do they not know how to do right, Declareth Yahweh, who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.
11 Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Omulabe alirumba ensi, n’amenyaamenya ebigo byo eby’amaanyi era n’abinyagulula.”
Therefore—Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, An adversary! Yea round about the land, —and he who shall bring down, from thee, thy strength, And spoiled shall be thy palaces.
12 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Ng’omusumba bw’agezaako okutaasa endiga ye okuva mu kamwa k’empologoma n’asikayo amagulu abiri obubiri n’ekitundu ky’okutu, bwe batyo Abayisirayiri bwe balinunulibwa, abo abatuula mu Samaliya ku nkomerero y’ebitanda byabwe ne ku bitanda byabwe mu Ddamasiko.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Just as a shepherd rescueth, out of the mouth of the lion, a couple of shankbones, or the tip of an ear, so, shall be rescued the sons of Israel, who are tarrying in Samaria, in the corner of the divan, and on the damask of the luxurious couch.
13 “Muwulirize kino era mulumirize enju ya Yakobo yonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
Hear ye and bear witness, throughout the house of Jacob, —Commandeth My Lord, Yahweh, God of hosts:
14 “Ku lunaku lwe lumu lwe ndibonereza Isirayiri olw’ebibi bye, ndisaanyaawo ebyoto by’e Beseri, n’amayembe g’ekyoto galisalibwako ne gagwa wansi.
That, in the day I visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, then will I punish, concerning the altars of Bethel, So shall the horns of the altar, be broken off, and they shall fall to the ground;
15 Era ndisaanyaawo ennyumba ebeerwamu mu biseera eby’obutiti, awamu n’ennyumba ebeerwamu mu biseera ey’ebbugumu; era ndimenyaamenya n’ennyumba ezayolebwa n’amasanga, ne nsanyaawo n’embiri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And I will smite the winter house along with the summer house, —and the houses of ivory, shall be destroyed! and the great houses, shall disappear, Declareth Yahweh.
