Mikka 2
1 Zibasanze mmwe abateesa okukola ebitali bya butuukirivu era abateesa okukola ebibi nga bali ku buliri bwabwe; Obudde bwe bukya ne batuukiriza entegeka zaabwe, kubanga kiri mu nteekateeka yaabwe.
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Beegomba ebyalo ne babitwala, ne beegomba ennyumba nazo ne bazitwala. Banyigiriza omuntu ne batwala amaka ge olw’amaanyi, ne bamubbako ebyobusika bwe.
And they covet fields, and seize them, and houses, and take them away. And they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Mukama kyava agamba nti, “Laba, ndireeta akabi ku bantu abo, ke mutagenda kweggyamu. Temuliddayo kubeera n’amalala nate kubanga kiriba kiseera kya mitawaana.
Therefore thus says Jehovah: Behold, I devise an evil against this family, from which ye shall not remove your necks, nor shall ye walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 Olwo abantu balikusekerera; Balikuyeeyereza nga bayimba oluyimba luno olw’okukungubaga nti: ‘Tugwereddewo ddala; ebintu by’abantu bange bigabanyizibbwamu. Mukama anziggirako ddala ettaka lyange, n’aliwa abo abatulyamu enkwe.’”
In that day they shall take up a taunt against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation. And say, We are utterly ruined. He changes the portion of my people. How he removes it from me! He divides our fields to the rebellious.
5 Noolwekyo tewalisigalawo muntu n’omu mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama, aligabanyaamu ettaka ku bululu.
Therefore thou shall have nobody to cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah.
6 Bannabbi baabwe boogera nti, “Temuwa bunnabbi, Temuwa bunnabbi ku bintu ebyo; tewali kabi kagenda kututuukako.”
Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these, so reproaches shall not depart.
7 Ekyo kye ky’okuddamu ggwe ennyumba ya Yakobo? Olowooza Omwoyo wa Mukama asunguwalira bwereere, si lwa bulungi bwo? Ebigambo bye tebiba birungi eri abo abakola obulungi?
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah restricted? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?
8 Ennaku zino abantu bange bannyimukiddeko ng’omulabe. Basika ne bambula eminagiro emirungi ne baggigya ku migongo gy’abayise ababa beetambulira mu mirembe, ng’abasajja abakomawo okuva mu lutabaalo.
But of late my people have risen up as an enemy. Ye strip off the robe with the garment from those who pass by securely as men turning back from war.
9 Bakazi b’abantu bange mubagoba mu mayumba gaabwe amalungi, abaana baabwe ne mubaggyirako ddala buli mukisa oguva eri Katonda.
Ye cast out the women of my people from their pleasant houses. Ye take away my glory from their young sons forever.
10 Muyimuke mugende, kubanga kino tekikyali kiwummulo kyammwe; olw’ebikolwa ebibi bye mukijjuzza, kyonoonese obutaddayo kuddaabirizika.
Arise ye, and depart, for this is not your resting-place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 Omuntu bw’ajja n’omwoyo ogw’obulimba, n’agamba nti, “Ka mbabuulire ku ssanyu ly’omwenge gwe baagala era gwe banoonya,” oyo y’aba nnabbi w’abantu abo.
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, I will prophesy to thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 “Ddala ddala ndibakuŋŋaanya mwenna, ggwe Yakobo; ndikuŋŋaanya abo abaasigalawo ku Isirayiri. Ndibakuŋŋaanya ng’akuŋŋaanya endiga ez’omu ddundiro, ng’ekisibo mu ddundiro lyakyo, ekifo kirijjula abantu.
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture. They shall make great noise because of the multitude of men.
13 Oyo aggulawo ekkubo alibakulembera okubaggya mu buwaŋŋanguse, abayise mu mulyango abafulumye. Era kabaka waabwe alibakulembera, Mukama alibakulembera.”
The breaker has gone up before them. They have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and have gone out there. And their king has passed on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
