Zechariah 13
1 In that day, there shall be an opened fountain, for the house of David, and for the Inhabitants of Jerusalem, —for sin and for uncleanness.
“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, in that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will cut off the names of idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more, —Moreover also, even the prophets and the spirit of impurity, will I cause to pass away 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 So shall it come about that, when any man shall prophesy again, then will his own father and his own mother, of whom he was born, say unto him, —Thou shalt not live! For falsehood hast thou spoken in the name of Yahweh, —So will his own father and his own mother of whom he was born, pierce 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 Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, that the prophets, will turn pale, every man by reason of his vision when he prophesieth, —neither will they put on a mantle of hair 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, No prophet, am I, —One tilling the ground, am I, for, one of the common people, hath owned me from my youth.
Aligamba nti, ‘Siri nnabbi nze, ndi mulimi bulimi; era mu nnimiro mwe nkoledde emirimu gyange obulamu bwange bwonna.’
6 Then will one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? And he will say, Wherewith I was wounded in the house of them who loved me.
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 O Sword! awake against my shepherd, even against the man that is my companion, urgeth Yahweh of hosts, —Smite the shepherd, and let the flock, be scattered, Howbeit I will turn back my hand over the little 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, in all the land, declareth Yahweh, Two-thirds therein, shall be cut off, and expire, —but, a third, 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 into the fire, and will smelt them as one smelteth silver, and will try them, as one trieth gold, —It, will call upon my name, and, I, will answer it, and will say, My people, it is! and, it, will say, Yahweh, 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.’”
