< Zechariah 13 >

1 On the day that it will be a fountain opened for [the] house of David and for [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for impurity.
“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 will be on the day that [the] utterance of - Yahweh of hosts I will cut off [the] names of the idols from the land and not they will be remembered again and also the prophets and [the] spirit of uncleanness I will cause to pass away from 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 will be that he will prophesy anyone still and they will say to him father his and mother his [who] begot him not you will live for falsehood you have spoken in [the] name of Yahweh and they will pierce through him father his and mother his [who] begot him when prophecies he.
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 will be - on the day that they will be ashamed the prophets each one from vision his when prophecies he and not they will wear a cloak of hair so as to deceive.
“Ku lunaku olwo buli nnabbi alikwatibwa ensonyi olw’okwolesebwa kwe okw’obulimba; era tebalyambala kyambalo kyabwe eky’ebyoya okulimba abantu.
5 And he will say not [am] a prophet I [am] a man [who] tills ground I for someone he sold me since youth my.
Aligamba nti, ‘Siri nnabbi nze, ndi mulimi bulimi; era mu nnimiro mwe nkoledde emirimu gyange obulamu bwange bwonna.’
6 And someone will say to him what? [are] the wounds these between hands your and he will say [those] which I was wounded [the] house of friends my.
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 on shepherd my and on [the] man of community my [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts strike the shepherd and they may be scattered the sheep and I will turn hand my on 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 will be in all the land [the] utterance of Yahweh a mouth of two in it they will be cut off they will perish and the third [part] it will be left in it.
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] in the fire and I will refine them as refines silver and I will test them as tests gold it - it will call on name my and I I will answer it I will say [is] people my it and it it will say Yahweh [is] God my.
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.’”
