Amosi 7
1 Bino Mukama Katonda bye yandaga. Yali ateekateeka ebibinja by’enzige okusaanyaawo ebirime ebyalimwanga, nga baakakungula olukungula olusooka ssinziggu, kabaka kw’afuna omusolo.
INkosi uJehova yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, yabumba isikhonyane ekuqaleni kokuhluma kotshani bamuva, njalo khangela, kwakubutshani bamuva emva kokusika kwenkosi.
2 Enzige bwe zaalya buli kantu akaali mu nnimiro akalamu, ne nkaaba nti, “Mukama Katonda, sonyiwa abantu bo nkwegayiridde. Yakobo aliwona atya? Nga mutono nnyo.”
Kwasekusithi lapho sesiqedile ukudla utshani belizwe, ngathi: Nkosi Jehova, ake uthethelele. UJakobe uzakuma njani? ngoba emncinyane.
3 Mukama bwe yawulira okukaaba kuno n’akyusa ekirowoozo kye. N’agamba nti, “Ekyo tekiribaawo.”
INkosi yazisola ngalokhu; kakuyikwenzeka, itsho iNkosi.
4 Bino Mukama bye yayongera okundaga. Yali ategeka okubonereza abantu n’omuliro. Gwalya ennyanja eyali wansi w’ensi ne gumalawo n’olukalu.
INkosi uJehova yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, iNkosi uJehova yabiza ukulwa ngomlilo, owaqothula ukujula okukhulu waqothula isabelo.
5 Ne nkaaba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda nkwegayiridde osonyiwe abantu bo! Yakobo anaasobola atya okusigalawo? Nga mutono nnyo!”
Ngasengisithi: Nkosi Jehova, ake ume. UJakobe uzakuma njani? ngoba emncinyane.
6 Awo Mukama bwe yawulira okukaaba kuno, n’akyusa ekirowoozo kye. Era n’agamba nti, “Era n’ekyo tekijja kubeerawo.”
INkosi yazisola ngalokhu. Lalokhu kakuyikwenzeka, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
7 Ate Mukama n’andaga okwolesebwa okulala. Ne ndaba Mukama ng’ayimiridde ku bbugwe azimbiddwa obulungi nga yatereera era nga Mukama akutte bbirigi mu mukono gwe.
Yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, iNkosi yayimi emdulini owenziwa njengokwentambo yokuqondisa; kwakulentambo yokuqondisa esandleni sayo.
8 Mukama n’ambuuza nti, “Amosi, kiki ky’olaba?” Ne nziramu nti, “Ndaba bbirigi.” Mukama n’alyoka aŋŋamba nti, “Laba nteese bbirigi wakati mu bantu bange Isirayiri. Sijja kuddayo kukyusa kirowoozo kyange nate ku ky’okubabonereza.
INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ubonani, Amosi? Ngathi: Intambo yokuqondisa. INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, ngizabeka intambo yokuqondisa phakathi kwabantu bami uIsrayeli; kangisayikubedlula futhi.
9 “Ebifo ebigulumivu ebya Isaaka birizikirizibwa, n’ebifo bya Isirayiri ebitukuvu birifuuka matongo. N’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu ndigirwanyisa n’ekitala.”
Kodwa indawo eziphakemeyo zikaIsaka zizakuba ngamanxiwa, lezindawo ezingcwele zakoIsrayeli zizadilizwa; ngiyivukele indlu kaJerobowamu ngenkemba.
10 Awo Amaziya kabona w’e Beseri n’aweereza kabaka wa Isirayiri, Yerobowaamu, obubaka ng’agamba nti, “Amosi agezaako okukulyamu olukwe wakati mu Isirayiri mwennyini. Ensi teyinza kugumira bigambo bye.”
UAmaziya umpristi weBhetheli wasethumela kuJerobhowamu inkosi yakoIsrayeli, esithi: UAmosi wenze ugobe emelene lawe phakathi kwendlu kaIsrayeli; ilizwe kalilakuwathwala wonke amazwi akhe.
11 Bw’ati Amosi bw’ayogera nti, “‘Yerobowaamu alifa kitala, ne Isirayiri balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse bave mu nsi yaboobwe.’”
Ngoba utsho njalo uAmosi: UJerobhowamu uzakufa ngenkemba, loIsrayeli athunjwe lokuthunjwa aphume elizweni lakhe.
12 Awo Amaziya n’alyoka alagira Amosi nti, “Vva wano ggwe omulabi. Ddayo mu nsi ya Yuda gy’oba oweera obunnabbi, ofunire eyo omusaala gwo.
UAmaziya wasesithi kuAmosi: Wena mboni, hamba ubalekele elizweni lakoJuda, lapho udle isinkwa khona, lalapho uprofethe.
13 Toweera wano bunnabbi nate e Beseri kubanga luno lubiri lwa kabaka era ssinzizo lya bwakabaka.”
Kodwa eBhetheli ungabe usaprofetha futhi, ngoba iyindawo engcwele yenkosi njalo iyindlu yombuso.
14 Amosi n’amuddamu nti, “Saali nnabbi oba omwana wa nnabbi nnali mulunzi wa ndiga era nga ndabirira miti emisukamooli.
UAmosi wasephendula wathi kuAmaziya: Ngangingasumprofethi mina, futhi ngangingasindodana yomprofethi mina; kodwa ngangingumelusi wenkomo, lomvuni wemikhiwa yesikhamore.
15 Naye Mukama yanziggya eyo mu kulunda ekisibo n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Genda owe obunnabbi abantu bange, Isirayiri.’”
Kodwa iNkosi yangithatha ekulandeleni umhlambi, iNkosi yathi kimi: Hamba uyeprofetha ebantwini bami uIsrayeli.
16 Noolwekyo ggwe wuliriza ekigambo kya Mukama. Ogamba nti, “‘Towa bunnabbi bunenya Isirayiri, era lekaraawo okubuulira ebikwata ku nnyumba ya Isaaka.’
Ngakho-ke zwana ilizwi leNkosi. Wena uthi: Ungaprofethi umelene loIsrayeli, ungatshumayeli umelene lendlu kaIsaka.
17 “Mukama kyava akuddamu nti, “‘Mukazi wo alifuuka malaaya mu kibuga era n’abaana bo aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala balifa ekitala. Ettaka lyo lirigabanyizibwamu ne liweebwa abalala naawe kennyini olifiira mu nsi ey’abakafiiri. Ekituufu kiri nti abantu ba Isirayiri balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse, ne baggyibwa mu nsi yaboobwe.’”
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi: Umkakho uzawula phakathi komuzi, lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho azakuwa ngenkemba, lelizwe lakini lizakwabiwa ngentambo, wena-ke uzafela elizweni elingcolileyo, loIsrayeli athunjwe lokuthunjwa aphume elizweni lakhe.
