Zechariah 12
1 The burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. The saying of the LORD, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirit 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 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of staggering unto all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also shall it fall to be in the siege against Jerusalem.
“Laba ŋŋenda okufuula Yerusaalemi ekikompe ekitagaza amawanga gonna ageetoolodde enjuuyi zonna. Yuda awamu ne Yerusaalemi birizingizibwa.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a stone of burden for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall 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, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with bewilderment, and his rider with madness; and I will open Mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness.
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 chiefs of Judah shall say in their heart: 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength through the LORD of hosts 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 chiefs of Judah like a pan of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
“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 save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified above Judah.
“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 defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that stumbleth among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as a godlike being, 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 it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Ku lunaku olwo ndizikiriza amawanga gonna agalumba Yerusaalemi.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto Me because they have thrust him through; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born.
“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 Jerusalem, 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 mourn, every family apart: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives 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 family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
Ekika eky’ennyumba ya Leevi ne bakazi baabwe, n’ekika kya Simeeyi ne bakazi baabwe;
14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
n’ebika byonna ebirala ebisigaddeyo ne bakazi baabwe.
