U-Amosi 4
1 Zwanini lelilizwi, mankomokazi eBashani, elisentabeni yeSamariya, elicindezela abayanga, elichoboza abaswelayo, elithi emakhosini abo: Lethani sinathe.
Muwulire kino mmwe ente ez’omu Basani ezibeera ku Lusozi Samaliya, mmwe abakazi abajooga abaavu ne munyigiriza abanaku, era abagamba ba bbaabwe nti, “Mutuletereyo ekyokunywa.”
2 INkosi uJehova ifungile ngobungcwele bayo, ukuthi, khangelani, insuku zizafika phezu kwenu lapho abazalihudula ngezingwegwe, labalilandelayo ngengwegwe zokubamba inhlanzi.
Mu butukuvu bwe Mukama Katonda alayidde nti, “Ekiseera kijja lwe balibasika n’amalobo, era abalisembayo ku mmwe ne basikibwa n’amalobo agavuba.
3 Njalo lizaphuma ngezikhala, ngulowo lalowo phambi kwakhe, liziphosele ngasesigodlweni, itsho iNkosi.
Mulisikibwa okuva mu mayumba gammwe ne musuulibwa ebweru nga muyisibwa mu bituli ebibotoddwa mu bbugwe, musuulibwe ku Kalumooni, bw’ayogera Mukama.
4 Wozani eBhetheli, liphambeke, eGiligali landise iziphambeko; lilethe imihlatshelo yenu ekuseni, okwetshumi kwenu ngomnyaka wesithathu;
Kale mmwe mugende e Beseri mukoleyo ebitasaana; era mugende ne Girugaali mwongere okukola ebibi. Mutwalengayo ssaddaaka zammwe buli nkya, n’ekimu eky’ekkumi buli myaka esatu.
5 litshise umhlatshelo wokubonga ngokuvutshelweyo, limemezele iminikelo yesihle, lizwakalise; ngoba ngokunjalo likuthanda, bantwana bakoIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Muweeyo ekiweebwayo eky’okwebaza eky’emigaati egizimbulukusibbwa, mulangirire n’ebiweebwayo eby’ekyeyagalire; mwe mwenyumiririza, mmwe Abayisirayiri kubanga ekyo kye mwagala,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
6 Ngakho mina ngilinikile futhi ukuhlanzeka kwamazinyo emizini yonke yenu, lenswelo yesinkwa endaweni zenu zonke; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“Nabaleetera enjala embuto zammwe ne ziba njereere mu buli kibuga, ne ssibawa kyakulya mu buli kabuga, naye era ne mugaana okudda gye ndi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
7 Futhi-ke mina ngaligodlela izulu, kuseselenyanga ezintathu kusiya ekuvuneni; ngalinisa komunye umuzi, kodwa kalinanga komunye umuzi; esinye isiqinti sanethwa, kodwa isiqinti esinganethwanga satsha.
“Ne mbamma enkuba ng’ekyabulayo emyezi esatu amakungula gatuuke. Ne ntonnyesa enkuba mu kibuga ekimu ne ngiziyiza mu kirala. Yatonnyanga mu nnimiro emu, mu ndala n’etatonnya, ebirime ne biwotoka.
8 Kwasekuzula imizi emibili loba emithathu yayanatha amanzi emzini owodwa, kodwa kayikholwanga; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
Abantu ne bavanga mu kibuga ekimu ne balaga mu kirala nga banoonya amazzi banyweko, naye ne gababula; naye era ne mutakyuka kudda gye ndi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
9 Ngalitshaya ngokuhanguka langengumane; ukwanda kwezivande zenu, lezivini zenu, lezihlahla zenu zemikhiwa, lezihlahla zenu zemihlwathi, kwadliwa zintethe; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“Emirundi mingi ebirime byammwe n’ennimiro zammwe ez’emizabbibu na bigengewaza. Nabileetako obulwadde. Enzige nazo ne zirya emitiini gyammwe n’emizeeyituuni gyammwe, naye era temwadda gye ndi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
10 Ngathumela phakathi kwenu umatshayabhuqe wesifo, ngokwendlela yeGibhithe, ngabulala amajaha enu ngenkemba, kanye lokuthunjwa kwamabhiza enu; njalo ngenza ivumba lenkamba yenu lenyuka ngitsho emakhaleni enu; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“Nabasindikira kawumpuli nga gwe nasindika mu Misiri. Abavubuka bammwe ne mbattira mu lutalo n’ekitala awamu n’embalaasi zammwe ze mwawamba. Okuwunya kw’olusisira lwammwe ne kuyitirira nnyo naye era ne mugaana okudda gye ndi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
11 Ngachitha abanye phakathi kwenu njengalokho uNkulunkulu wachitha iSodoma leGomora, lalinjengesikhuni esophulwe ekutsheni; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“Nazikiriza abamu ku mmwe nga bwe nakola Sodomu ne Ggomola, ne muba ng’olumuli olusikiddwa mu muliro ogwaka naye era ne mulema okudda gye ndi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
12 Ngakho ngizakwenza ngokunjalo kuwe, Israyeli; ngenxa yokuthi ngizakwenza lokhu kuwe, zilungiselele ukuhlangana loNkulunkulu wakho, Israyeli.
“Kyendiva nkukola bwe ntyo, ggwe Isirayiri, era ndikwongerako ebibonoobono. Noolwekyo weetegeke okusisinkana Katonda wo, ggwe Isirayiri.”
13 Ngoba khangela, obumba izintaba, lodala umoya, lotshela umuntu ukuthi umcabango wakhe uyini, owenza ukusakube mnyama, onyathela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zomhlaba, iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, libizo lakhe.
Kubanga laba, oyo eyatonda ensozi era ye yatonda n’embuyaga era abikkulira omuntu ebirowoozo bye. Yafuula enkya okubeera ekiro, era alinnya mu bifo ebigulumivu eby’ensi. Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye lye linnya lye.
