1. 1LUGMuwulire ekigambo kya Mukama, mmwe abantu ba Isirayiri, kubanga Mukama abalinako ensonga mmwe abatuula mu nsi. “Obwesigwa n’okwagala Katonda, n’okumumanya bikendedde mu nsi.BSBBSB: Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land!
2. 2LUGWaliwo okukolima, n’okulimba, n’okutta, n’okubba, n’okukola eby’obwenzi; bawaguza, era bayiwa omusaayi obutakoma.BSBBSB: Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
3. 3LUGEnsi kyeneeva ekaaba, ne bonna abagibeeramu ne bafuuka ekitagasa; n’ensolo enkambwe ez’omu nsiko zirifa, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga nazo zirifa, n’ebyennyanja ebiri mu nnyanja ne bifa.BSBBSB: Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.
4. 4LUG“Naye temuloopagana, so tewabaawo muntu avunaana munne, kubanga ensonga ngivunaana gwe kabona.BSBBSB: But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.
5. 5LUGWakola ebibi emisana n’ekiro, ne bannabbi ne babikolera wamu naawe; kyendiva nzikiriza maama wo.BSBBSB: You will stumble by day, and the prophet will stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother—
6. 6LUGAbantu bange bazikiridde olw’obutamanya. “Kyemunaava mulema okubeera bakabona bange; era olw’okulagajjalira etteeka lya Katonda wo, nange kyendiva ndagajjalira abaana bo.BSBBSB: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
7. 7LUGGye beeyongera okuba abangi, gye baakoma n’okukola ebibi; baasuula ekitiibwa kyabwe ne banswaza.BSBBSB: The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; they exchanged their Glory for a thing of disgrace.
8. 8LUGBagaggawalira ku bibi by’abantu bange, era basemba okwonoona kwabwe.BSBBSB: They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.
9. 9LUGEra bwe kityo bwe kiriba eri abantu n’eri bakabona: ndibabonereza olw’enneeyisa yaabwe, era ne mbasasula ng’ebikolwa byabwe.BSBBSB: And it shall be like people, like priest. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.
10. 10LUG“Balirya naye tebalikkuta, balikola ebibi eby’obwenzi kyokka tebalyeyongera bungi, kubanga bavudde ku Mukama ne beewaayoBSBBSB: They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have abandoned the LORD to give themselves
11. 11LUGeri obwenzi, wayini omukadde n’omusu, ne bibamalamu okutegeera.BSBBSB: to promiscuity, wine, and new wine, which take away understanding.
12. 12LUGAbantu bange beebuuza ku kikonge ky’omuti, ne baddibwamu omuti. Omwoyo ogw’obwenzi gubasendasenda ne gubaleetera obutaba beesigwa eri Katonda waabwe.BSBBSB: My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them. For a spirit of prostitution leads them astray and they have played the harlot against their God.
13. 13LUGBaweerayo ssaddaaka ku ntikko z’ensozi, ne baweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku busozi, wansi w’emyalooni, n’emiribine n’emyera awali ekisiikirize ekirungi. Bawala bammwe kyebava baba bamalaaya, ne baka baana bammwe ne bakola obwenzi.BSBBSB: They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery.
14. 14LUG“Siribonereza bawala bammwe olw’okubeera bamalaaya, newaakubadde baka baana bammwe okukola eby’obwenzi, kubanga abasajja bennyini bassa bumu ne bamalaaya, ne baweerayo ssaddaaka ne bamalaaya ab’omu masabo; abantu abatategeera balizikirira.BSBBSB: I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.
15. 15LUG“Newaakubadde ggwe Isirayiri oyenda, omusango guleme okuba ku Yuda. Togenda Girugaali, newaakubadde okwambuka e Besaveni. Tolayiranga nti, ‘Nga Katonda bw’ali omulamu.’BSBBSB: Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel, may Judah avoid such guilt! Do not journey to Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-aven, and do not swear on oath, ‘As surely as the LORD lives!’
16. 16LUGAbayisirayiri bakakanyavu mu mitima ng’ennyana endalu. Olwo Mukama ayinza atya okubalabirira ng’abaana b’endiga abali mu kisibo?BSBBSB: For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?
17. 17LUGEfulayimu yeegasse n’abasinza ebifaananyi, mumuleke abeere yekka.BSBBSB: Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!
18. 18LUGEbyokunywa ne bwe bibaggwaako, beeyongera mu bwamalaaya; n’abakulembeze baabwe baagala nnyo eby’ensonyi:BSBBSB: When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.
19. 19LUGEmbuyaga kyeziriva zibatwala, ne ssaddaaka zaabwe ne zibaswaza.”BSBBSB: The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
