Amosi 6
1 Zibasanze abo abateefiirayo mu Sayuuni, n’abo abawulira emirembe ku lusozi lw’e Samaliya. Mmwe abasajja abeekitiibwa ab’ensi enkulembeze, abantu ba Isirayiri gye beeyuna.
How disastrous it will be for you who have an easy life in Zion, and you who feel secure living on Mount Samaria—you who are the most famous men in all of Israel to whom people come for help!
2 Mugende mulabe e Kalune; muveeyo mulage mu Kamasi ekikulu, ate era muserengete mu kibuga ky’Abafirisuuti eky’e Gaasi. Basinga obwakabaka bwammwe obubiri? Ensi yaabwe esinga eyammwe obunene?
But go to Calneh, and see what took place there. Then go on to the great city of Hamath, and down to the Philistine city of Gath. Were they better kingdoms than yours? Did they have more territory than you?
3 Mulindiriza olunaku olw’ekibi, ate ne musembeza effugabbi.
You put out of your minds any thought of coming disaster, yet you are bringing closer the time when violence reigns.
4 Mugalamira ku bitanda ebyakolebwa mu masanga ne muwummulira mu ntebe ennyonvu nga muvaabira ennyama y’endiga n’ey’ennyana ensava.
How disastrous it will be for you people who lie on beds decorated with ivory and lounge on couches, eating lamb from your flocks and fattened calves from the stall.
5 Mwekubira ennanga nga Dawudi bwe yakolanga, ne muyiiya n’ennyimba ku bivuga.
You make up songs accompanied by the harp, thinking you're great composers like David.
6 Mwekatankira wayini, ne mwesiiga n’ebizigo ebirungi, naye temukaabira kubonaabona kwa Yusufu.
You drink wine by the bowlful, and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph's descendants.
7 Noolwekyo mmwe mulisooka okugenda mu buwaŋŋanguse. Era embaga zammwe n’okwewummuza birikoma.
So you will be at the head of those led away into exile; the feasting and lazing around will be over.
8 Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alayidde, Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna agamba nti, “Neetamiddwa amalala ga Yakobo, nkyawa ebigo bye, era nzija kuwaayo ekibuga ne byonna ebikirimu eri abalabe baakyo.”
The Lord God has sworn an oath on his own life. This is what the Lord God of power declares: I detest Jacob's arrogance and I hate his fortresses; I will hand over this city and all in it to the enemy.
9 Era singa ennyumba eneeba ekyalinawo abasajja ekkumi abasigaddewo, nabo balifa.
If there are ten people in a house, they will die.
10 Era singa ow’ekika akola ku by’okuziika, anaaba afulumya amagumba n’abuuza oba waliwo omuntu yenna eyeekwese munda mu nnyumba, oba alina gwe yeekwese naye, n’addamu nti, “Nedda,” olwo omuziisi anaamusirisa ng’agamba nti, “Sirika; tetwogera ku linnya lya Mukama.”
And when a relative comes to take away the bodies from the house, he will ask someone inside “Is there anyone else with you?” The person will reply, “No...” Then the other will say, “Quiet! Don't even mention the Lord's name.”
11 Laba Mukama alagidde, ennyumba ennene erimenyebwamenyebwa, n’ennyumba entono erimenyebwamenyebwa.
Watch out! When the Lord gives the command, large houses will be reduced to rubble, and small houses smashed to pieces.
12 Kisoboka embalaasi okuddukira ku mayinja? Waali wabaddewo abalima ku mayinja n’enkumbi ezisikibwa ente? Naye obwenkanya mubufudde obutwa n’ekibala eky’obutuukirivu ne mukifuula ekikaawa.
Can horses gallop over rocks? Can oxen plow the sea? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of doing good into bitterness!
13 Mwenyumiririza bwereere nti muli b’amaanyi olw’okuba nga mwawamba ekibuga Lodeba. Mwogera nti, “Tetwawamba Kanayimu n’amaanyi gaffe?”
You joyfully celebrate your conquest of Lodebar, and say “Didn't we in our own strength capture Karnaim?”
14 Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye agamba nti, “Ndibasindikira eggwanga libalumbe, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri; liribajooga ebbanga lyonna okuva e Lebo Kamasi okutuuka mu kiwonvu kye Alaba.”
Watch out, people of Israel! I am going to send an enemy nation to attack you, says the Lord God of power, and they will oppress you from the Pass of Hamath to the Arabah Valley.
