Amosi 9
1 Bwe ntyo nate ne ndaba Mukama ng’ayimiridde ku mabbali g’ekyoto, n’ayogera nti, “Mukube emitwe gy’empagi bya yeekaalu n’amaanyi mangi, emifuubeeto gikankane. Bisesebbuke bikube emitwe gy’abantu bonna, n’abo abaliba bawonyeewo ndibattisa ekitala. Tewaliba n’omu awona.
I saw My Lord stationed by the altar, and he said—Smite the capital—that the sills, may tremble, Yea break them off on the head of them all, and, the last of them, with the sword, will I slay, —He that fleeth of them, shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them, shall not make good his escape.
2 Ne bwe balisima ne baddukira emagombe, omukono gwange gulibaggyayo. Ne bwe balirinnya waggulu mu ggulu ndibawanulayo. (Sheol h7585)
Though they break through into hades, from thence, shall my hand fetch them, —and, though they ascend the heavens, from thence, will I bring them down; (Sheol h7585)
3 Wadde balyekweka ku lusozi Kalumeeri, ndibanoonyaayo ne mbaggyayo. Ne bwe balyekweka wansi mu buziba bw’ennyanja ndiragira ogusota ne gubalumirayo.
And, though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, from thence, will I search for them and take them, —and, though they conceal themselves from before mine eyes at the bottom of the sea, from thence, will I command the serpent and he shall bite them;
4 Ne bwe balitwalibwa abalabe baabwe mu buwaŋŋanguse, era nayo ndiragira ekitala ne kibattirayo. Ndibasimba amaaso ne batuukibwako bibi so si birungi.”
And, though they go into captivity before their enemies, from thence, will I command the sword, and it shall slay them, —So will I set mine eyes upon them for calamity, and not for blessing.
5 Era Mukama, Mukama ow’Eggye, akwata ku nsi n’esaanuuka, abantu baayo bonna abagibeeramu ne bakungubaga, ensi yonna n’etumbiira nga Kiyira ate n’ekka ng’amazzi g’omugga gw’e Misiri;
Now, My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is he—who toucheth the earth, and it melteth, and all that dwell therein, mourn; and it cometh up like the Nile, all of it, and subsideth like the river of Egypt:
6 oyo eyazimba olubiri lwe olulungi ennyo mu ggulu, omusingi gwalwo ne gubeera ku nsi, ayita amazzi g’ennyanja, n’agayiwa wansi ku lukalu, Mukama lye linnya lye.
Who buildeth, in the heavens, his upper rooms, and, as for his vault, upon the earth, hath he founded it, —who calleth to the waters of the sea, and poureth them out over the face of the land, Yahweh, is his name.
7 Mukama ayongera n’agamba nti, “Mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri temuli ng’Abakuusi gye ndi? Ssabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri nga bwe naggya Abafirisuuti e Katufoli, n’Abasuuli e Kiri?”
Like the sons of the Ethiopians, are not ye, unto me, O sons of Israel? Demandeth Yahweh: Was it not, Israel, I brought up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines out of Caphtor, and the Syrians out of Kir?
8 “Ddala ddala amaaso ga Mukama Katonda, gatunuulidde nkaliriza obwakabaka obwonoonyi. Ndibuzikiriza ne mbusaasaanya okuva ku nsi. Kyokka sirizikiririza ddala ennyumba ya Yakobo okugimalawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Lo! the eyes of My Lord, Yahweh, are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the ground, —save only that I will not, utterly destroy, the house of Jacob, Declareth Yahweh.
9 “Kubanga ndiwa ekiragiro, ennyumba ya Isirayiri erinyeenyezebwa mu mawanga gonna, ng’emmere ey’empeke bwe kuŋŋutibwa mu kakuŋŋunta era tewaliba kayinja akaligwa wansi.
For lo! I am giving command, and will sift, throughout all the nations, the house of Israel, —as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall there not fall a kernel, to the earth.
10 Aboonoonyi bonna mu bantu bange, balifa kitala, abo bonna aboogera nti, ‘Akabi tekalitutuukako.’”
By the sword, shall die all the sinners of my people, —who say, The calamity, shall not overtake and close in before us.
11 “Mu biro ebyo ndizzaawo ennyumba ya Dawudi eyagwa era ndiddaabiriza ebifo ebyamenyebwamenyebwa, ne nzizaawo ebyali amatongo, ne biba nga bwe byabeeranga,
In that day, will I raise up the pavilion of David, that is lying prostrate, —and wall up the breaches of them, and, his ruins, will I raise up, and will build it, as in the days of age-past times:
12 balyoke batwale ekitundu kya Edomu ekyasigalawo n’amawanga gonna ge nayita okuba abantu bange,” bw’ayogera Mukama alikola ebintu ebyo byonna.
That they on whom my name hath been called, may take possession, of the residue of Edom and of all the nations, Declareth Yahweh, who executeth this.
13 “Ennaku zijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “akungula lw’alisinga asiga, n’asiga ensigo lw’alisinga atunda emizabbibu. Wayini omuggya alitonnya okuva mu nsozi, n’akulukuta okuva mu busozi.
Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, that, the plowman, shall overtake, the reaper, and, he that treadeth out the grapes, him that traileth the seed, —so shall, the mountains, drip sweet wine, and, all the hills, shall melt;
14 Ndikomyawo abantu bange Isirayiri okuva mu buwaŋŋanguse, ne bazimba nate ebibuga ebyamenyebwa, babibeeremu. Balisimba ennimiro zaabwe ez’emizabbibu ne banywa wayini avaamu, era balisimba ennimiro balye ebibala byamu.
And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build waste cities, and inhabit [them], and plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof, and lay out gardens, and eat the fruit thereof:
15 Ndisimba Isirayiri mu nsi yaabwe, era tebaliggibwa nate mu nsi gye nabawa,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wammwe.
So will I plant them upon their own soil, —and will not uproot them any more from off their own soil, which I have given to them, saith Yahweh thy God.
