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.
Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, [which are] named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
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?
Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: [be they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3 Mulindiriza olunaku olw’ekibi, ate ne musembeza effugabbi.
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Mugalamira ku bitanda ebyakolebwa mu masanga ne muwummulira mu ntebe ennyonvu nga muvaabira ennyama y’endiga n’ey’ennyana ensava.
That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 Mwekubira ennanga nga Dawudi bwe yakolanga, ne muyiiya n’ennyimba ku bivuga.
That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
6 Mwekatankira wayini, ne mwesiiga n’ebizigo ebirungi, naye temukaabira kubonaabona kwa Yusufu.
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Noolwekyo mmwe mulisooka okugenda mu buwaŋŋanguse. Era embaga zammwe n’okwewummuza birikoma.
Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
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 hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 Era singa ennyumba eneeba ekyalinawo abasajja ekkumi abasigaddewo, nabo balifa.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall 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 a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
11 Laba Mukama alagidde, ennyumba ennene erimenyebwamenyebwa, n’ennyumba entono erimenyebwamenyebwa.
For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
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.
Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there] with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
13 Mwenyumiririza bwereere nti muli b’amaanyi olw’okuba nga mwawamba ekibuga Lodeba. Mwogera nti, “Tetwawamba Kanayimu n’amaanyi gaffe?”
Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
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.”
But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
