< Zechariah 12 >

1 The burden of the worde of the Lord vpon Israel, sayth the Lord, which spred the heauens, and layed the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirite of man within him.
Kino ky’ekigambo kya Katonda ekikwata ku Isirayiri. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama eyabamba eggulu era n’assaawo emisingi gy’ensi, era n’akola n’omwoyo gw’omuntu ogumulimu.
2 Beholde, I will make Ierusalem a cuppe of poyson vnto all the people round about: and also with Iudah will he be, in ye siege against Ierusalem.
“Laba ŋŋenda okufuula Yerusaalemi ekikompe ekitagaza amawanga gonna ageetoolodde enjuuyi zonna. Yuda awamu ne Yerusaalemi birizingizibwa.
3 And in that day will I make Ierusalem an heauie stone for all people: all that lift it vp, shall be torne, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Awo ku lunaku olwo ndifuula Yerusaalemi ejjinja erizitowa eri amawanga gonna, ag’ensi agalikuŋŋaana okukizingiza. Abo bonna abaligezaako okuliggyawo, balyetusaako ebisago.
4 In that day, sayeth the Lord, I will smite euery horse with astonishment, and his rider with madnesse, and I will open mine eyes vpon the house of Iudah, and will smite euery horse of the people with blindnesse.
Ku lunaku olwo, bw’ayogera Mukama, ndikuba buli mbalaasi na buli muvuzi waayo ndimusuula eddalu. Ndikuuma ennyumba ya Yuda kyokka amaaso g’embalaasi za bannaggwanga ndigaziba.
5 And the princes of Iudah shall say in their hearts, The inhabitants of Ierusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hostes their God.
Awo abakulembeze ba Yuda baligamba mu mitima gyabwe nti, ‘Abantu b’omu Yerusaalemi ba maanyi, kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ye Katonda waabwe.’
6 In that day will I make the princes of Iudah like coles of fire among the wood, and like a fire brand in the sheafe, and they shall deuoure all the people round about on the right hand, and on the left: and Ierusalem shall be inhabited againe in her owne place, euen in Ierusalem.
“Ku lunaku olwo ndifuula abakulembeze ya Yuda ng’ogusigiri ogwaka ogwetooloddwa enku, ng’olumuli olw’omuliro mu makkati g’ebinywa. Balimalawo amawanga gonna ag’oku njuyi zonna, olw’oku kkono n’olw’oku ddyo; naye Yerusaalemi kirisigalawo, n’abantu baakyo mu kifo kyakyo awatali kunyeenyezebwa.
7 The Lord also shall preserue the tents of Iudah, as afore time: therefore the glorie of the house of Dauid shall not boast, nor the glorie of the inhabitants of Ierusalem against Iudah.
“Mukama alisooka kununula weema za Yuda, ekitiibwa ky’ennyumba ya Dawudi, n’ekitiibwa ky’abatuuze b’omu Yerusaalemi kireme kusukka ku kya Yuda.
8 In that day shall the Lord defende the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and he that is feeble among them, in that day shall be as Dauid: and the house of Dauid shall be as Gods house, and as the Angel of the Lord before them.
Ku lunaku olwo Mukama aliteeka obukuumi ku batuuze b’omu Yerusaalemi; abo abasembayo obunafu ku lunaku olwo babeere nga Dawudi, era ennyumba ya Dawudi ebeere ng’ennyumba ya Katonda, nga malayika wa Mukama abakulembeddemu.
9 And in that day will I seeke to destroy all the nations that come against Ierusalem.
Ku lunaku olwo ndizikiriza amawanga gonna agalumba Yerusaalemi.
10 And I will powre vpon the house of Dauid, and vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem the Spirite of grace and of compassion, and they shall looke vpon me, whom they haue pearced, and they shall lament for him, as one mourneth for his onely sonne, and be sorie for him as one is sorie for his first borne.
“Era ndifuka ku nnyumba ya Dawudi era ku batuuze ba Yerusaalemi Omwoyo ow’ekisa n’okwegayirira. Balintunuulira nze gwe baafumita: era balimukungubagira ng’omuntu bw’akungubagira omwana we omu yekka, era balimulumirwa nnyo omwoyo ng’omuntu bw’alumirwa mutabani we omubereberye.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Ierusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Ku lunaku olwo okukuba ebiwoobe kuliyitirira mu Yerusaalemi okwenkana ng’okwa Kadadulimmoni mu kiwonvu Megiddoni.
12 And the land shall bewayle euery familie apart, the familie of the house of Dauid apart, and their wiues apart: the familie of the house of Nathan apart, and their wiues apart:
Ensi erikungubaga, buli kika kyokka; ekika eky’ennyumba ya Dawudi ne bakazi baabwe kyokka, n’ekika ky’ennyumba ya Nasani ne bakazi baabwe bokka;
13 The familie of the house of Leui apart, and their wiues apart: the familie of Shemei apart, and their wiues apart:
Ekika eky’ennyumba ya Leevi ne bakazi baabwe, n’ekika kya Simeeyi ne bakazi baabwe;
14 All the families that remaine, euery familie apart, and their wiues apart.
n’ebika byonna ebirala ebisigaddeyo ne bakazi baabwe.
