Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] the rest of it: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] towards the LORD.
Ekigambo kya Katonda kyolekedde ensi ya Kadulaki era kirituuka e Ddamasiko. Kubanga abantu bonna n’ebika byonna ebya Isirayiri batunuulidde Mukama,
2 And Hamath also shall border by it; Tyre and Zidon, though it be very wise.
era ne Kamasi ekiriraanyeewo nakyo bwe kityo, ne Ttuulo ne Sidoni wadde nga birina amagezi mangi.
3 And Tyre built herself a strong hold, and amassed silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Ttuulo kyezimbira ekigo ne kituuma ffeeza n’eba ng’enfuufu, ne zaabu n’eba nnyingi ng’ettaka ery’omu kkubo.
4 Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Laba, Mukama alikyambulako ebintu byakyo, alizikiriza amaanyi gaakyo ag’oku nnyanja, era kiryokebwa omuliro.
5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gaza also [shall see it], and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Asukulooni bino kiribiraba ne kitya; ne Gaza bwe kityo kiribeera mu kulumwa okw’amaanyi. Era n’essuubi lya Ekuloni liriggwaawo; Gaza aliggyibwako kabaka we, ne Asukulooni tekiribaamu bantu.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Abagwira balitwala Asudodi, era n’amalala g’Abafirisuuti ndigamalawo.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, [shall be] for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Era ndiggya omusaayi mu kamwa ke n’emmere ey’omuzizo okuva wakati mu mannyo ge. N’abo bonna abalisigalawo mu kyo baliba bantu ba Katonda waffe, balifuuka bakulembeze mu Yuda, ne Ekuloni kiriba nga Abayebusi.
8 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with my eyes.
Naye ndirwanirira ennyumba yange eri eggye eddumbaganyi, so tewaliba mulumbaganyi aliddayo kujooga bantu bange kubanga kaakano mbalabirira.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh to thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Sanyuka nnyo ggwe omuwala wa Sayuuni: leekaana nnyo, ggwe omuwala wa Yerusaalemi; laba, kabaka wo ajja gy’oli; mutuukirivu era muwanguzi; muwombeefu era yeebagadde endogoyi, endogoyi ento, omwana gw’endogoyi.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle-bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace to the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
Efulayimu ndimuggyako amagaali, ne Yerusaalemi muggyeko embalaasi ennwanyi, n’omutego gw’obusaale gulimenyebwa era alireeta emirembe mu mawanga, n’obufuzi bwe buliva ku nnyanja emu butuuke ku nnyanja endala era buve ku mugga Fulaati butuuke ku nkomerero z’ensi.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit in which [is] no water.
Naawe ggwe, olw’omusaayi gw’endagaano gye nakola naawe, ndisumulula abasibe bo okuva mu bunnya obutaliimu mazzi.
12 Turn ye to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare [that] I will render double to thee;
Mudde mu nkambi yammwe mmwe abasibe abalina essuubi; nangirira leero nti ndibadizaawo emirundi ebiri.
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
Yuda ndigiweta ng’omutego ogw’obusaale ngujjuze Efulayimu. Ndiyimusa batabani ba Sayuuni, balwane n’abaana bo, ggwe Buyonaani, mbakozese ng’ekitala eky’omutabaazi.
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
Era Mukama alirabika ng’ali waggulu waabwe, akasaale ke kamyanse ng’okumyansa kw’eggulu. Mukama Katonda alifuuwa ekkondeere, n’akumbira mu muyaga ogw’omu bukiikaddyo.
15 The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners of the altar.
Mukama ow’Eggye alibakuuma. Balirinnyirira ne bawangula envuumuulo, balinywa ne baleekaana ng’abatamiivu. Balijjula ng’ekibya ekikozesebwa okumansira ku nsonda z’ekyoto.
16 And the LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people: for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
Ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda alirokola abantu be ng’omusumba bw’alokola ekisibo ky’endiga ze. Balitangalijja mu nsi ye, ng’amayinja ag’omuwendo bwe gatemagana mu ngule.
17 For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
Nga baliba balungi era abatuukirivu! Emmere ey’empeke erireetera abavubuka abalenzi obulamu obweyagaza, n’abawala nabo beeyagale olwa wayini omuggya.
