Zechariah 13
1 On that day shall there be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for cleansing from sin and for purification.
“Ku lunaku olwo ensulo z’amazzi ziriggulirwa ennyumba ya Dawudi n’abatuuze b’omu Yerusaalemi okubatukuza okuva mu kibi n’obutali bulongoofu.
2 And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more: and also the prophets and the unclean spirit will I remove out of the land.
“Ku lunaku olwo, ndiggya amannya ga bakatonda abalala okuva mu nsi, galeme kuddayo kujjukirwa, era nzigye bannabbi n’omwoyo ogutali mulongoofu mu nsi,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
3 And it shall come to pass, if any one should yet prophesy, that his father and his mother who have begotten him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for falsely hast thou spoken in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who have begotten him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
Era singa omuntu yenna awa obunnabbi, kitaawe ne nnyina abamuzaala bennyini balimugamba nti, “Oteekwa kufa kubanga oyogedde eby’obulimba mu linnya lya Mukama.” Bw’aliwa obunnabbi, bakadde be bennyini bamufumitanga.
4 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one because of his vision, when he prophesieth; and they shall not clothe themselves with a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
“Ku lunaku olwo buli nnabbi alikwatibwa ensonyi olw’okwolesebwa kwe okw’obulimba; era tebalyambala kyambalo kyabwe eky’ebyoya okulimba abantu.
5 But he will say, I am no prophet, a man that tilleth the ground am I; for some one hath taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
Aligamba nti, ‘Siri nnabbi nze, ndi mulimi bulimi; era mu nnimiro mwe nkoledde emirimu gyange obulamu bwange bwonna.’
6 And should some one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? Then will he say, Those with which I have been wounded in the house of my [vicious] friends.
Era singa omuntu bamubuuza nti, ‘Ate bino ebiwundu ebiri ku mubiri gwo bya ki?’ Aliddamu nti, ‘Ebiwundu n’abifunira mu nnyumba ya mikwano gyange.’”
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man whom I have associated with me, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; but I will turn my hand toward the feeble ones.
“Zuukuka, ggwe ekitala olwanyise omusumba wange, olwane n’omusajja annyimirira ku lusegere,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye. “Kuba omusumba endiga zisaasaane nange ndiyimusa omukono gwange ku baana abato.
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts [of those] therein shall be cut off, shall perish; but the third part shall be left therein.
Mu nsi yonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “bibiri bya kusatu bye birikubwa bisaanewo, naye kimu kya kusatu kye kirisigalamu.
9 And I will bring the third part into the fire, and I will refine them as one refineth silver, and will probe them as gold is probed: they will call on my name, and I will answer their prayer; I will say, They arc my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
Ekitundu kino eky’ekimu ekyokusatu ndikireeta mu muliro, ne mbalongoosa ng’effeeza bw’erongoosebwa mbagezese nga zaabu bw’egezesebwa. Balikoowoola erinnya lyange nange ndibaanukula. Ndigamba nti, ‘Bantu bange,’ era nabo baliddamu nti, ‘Mukama ye Katonda waffe.’”
