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.
They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.
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 desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.
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 saith the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which ye shall not lift up your necks, neither shall ye walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
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 shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided.
5 Noolwekyo tewalisigalawo muntu n’omu mu kuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama, aligabanyaamu ettaka ku bululu.
Therefore thou shalt have no one to cast a line for the lot.
6 Bannabbi baabwe boogera nti, “Temuwa bunnabbi, Temuwa bunnabbi ku bintu ebyo; tewali kabi kagenda kututuukako.”
Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,
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?
who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly?
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.
Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of war.
9 Bakazi b’abantu bange mubagoba mu mayumba gaabwe amalungi, abaana baabwe ne mubaggyirako ddala buli mukisa oguva eri Katonda.
The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw ye near to the everlasting mountains.
10 Muyimuke mugende, kubanga kino tekikyali kiwummulo kyammwe; olw’ebikolwa ebibi bye mukijjuzza, kyonoonese obutaddayo kuddaabirizika.
Arise thou, and depart; for this is not thy rest because of uncleanness: ye have been utterly destroyed;
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.
ye have fled, no one pursuing [you: thy] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on thee for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping 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.
Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people: ] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from among men through the breach made before them:
13 Oyo aggulawo ekkubo alibakulembera okubaggya mu buwaŋŋanguse, abayise mu mulyango abafulumye. Era kabaka waabwe alibakulembera, Mukama alibakulembera.”
they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them.
