Amosi 1
1 Bino bye bigambo Amosi eyali omu ku balunzi b’endiga mu bitundu by’e Tekowa bye yabikkulirwa, musisi amale ajje nga wakayitawo emyaka ebiri, mu mirembe gya Uzziya kabaka wa Yuda, era nga gy’emirembe gya kabaka Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Yowaasi nga y’afuga Isirayiri.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, —of which (words) he had vision concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Amosi yagamba nti, “Mukama awuluguma ng’asinziira mu Sayuuni, era eddoboozi lye liwulirwa nga libwatukira mu Yerusaalemi; omuddo mu malundiro gulikala n’entikko y’olusozi Kalumeeri erisigala njereere.”
So then he said—Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, —and the pastures of the shepherds, shall mourn, and the top of Carmel, be dried up.
3 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Ddamasiko ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga baabonereza nnyo abantu b’e Gireyaadi nga babasalaasala n’ebyuma.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Damascus, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because, with threshing instruments of iron, they have threshed Gilead.
4 Ndiweereza omuliro mu lubiri lwa kabaka Kazayeeri era njokye n’ebigo bya kabaka Benikadadi.
Therefore will send a fire, into the house of Hazael, —which shall devour the palaces of Ben- hadad;
5 Era ndimenya enzigi z’ekibuga Ddamasiko era ndizikiriza kabaka ali mu Kiwonvu ky’e Aveni, oyo akwata omuggo ogw’obwakabaka mu Besiadeni. Abantu b’e Busuuli balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Kiri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And I will break the bolt of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant out of the plain of Aven, and the holder of the sceptre out of the house of Eden, —and the people of Syria, shall be exiled, unto Kir, saith Yahweh.
6 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Gaza ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yatwala eggwanga ddamba mu busibe n’alitunda eri Edomu.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Gaza, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their taking into exile the whole body of exiles, to deliver to Edom,
7 Ndiweereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Gaza ogulyokya ebigo byakyo.
Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, —which shall devour the palaces thereof;
8 Ndizikiriza atuula mu Asudodi, n’oyo akwata omuggo gw’obwakabaka ndimumalawo okuva mu Asukulooni. Ndibonereza Ekuloni okutuusa lwe ndimalirawo ddala Abafirisuuti,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And I will cut off the inhabitant out of Ashdod, and the holder of the sceptre out of Ashkelon, —and will turn my hand against Ekron, So shall perish the remnant of the Philistines, saith My Lord, Yahweh.
9 Mukama bw’ati bw’ayogera nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Ttuulo ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yatunda eggwanga ddamba erya Edomu mu busibe n’amenya endagaano ey’obwaseruganda eyali ekoleddwa,
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Tyre, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their delivering up the whole body of exiles to Edom, and they remembered not the brotherly covenant,
10 kyenaava mpeereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Ttuulo, ogunaayokya ebigo byakyo.”
Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, —which shall devour the palaces thereof.
11 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Edomu ebisatu, weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yayigganya muganda we n’ekitala awatali kusaasira, obusungu bwabwe ne bubuubuuka obutakoma era ne batabusalako.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Edom, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because he pursued, with the sword, his brother, and stifled his compassions, and his anger tare in pieces evermore, and, his indignation, kept watch perpetually,
12 Ndiweereza omuliro ku Temani oguliyokya ebigo bya Bozula.”
Therefore will I send a fire into Teman, —which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Amoni ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Mu ntalo ez’okugaziya ensi ye, yabaaga abakazi abaali embuto ab’e Giriyaadi.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their ripping up the pregnant women of Gilead, that they might enlarge their own boundary,
14 Ndiweereza omuliro ku bbugwe wa Labba, era gulyokya ebigo byakyo. Walibaawo n’oluyoogaano olunene ku lunaku olw’olutalo mu mpewo ey’amaanyi, kibuyaga ng’akunta.
Therefore will I kindle a fire upon the wall of Rabbah, which shall devour the palaces thereof, —with a war-cry in the day of battle, with tempest in the day of storm-wind;
15 Kabaka waakyo alitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse, ye n’abakungu be bonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And Milcom shall go into exile, —he and his rulers together, saith Yahweh.
