Zechariah 12
1 The burden of a word of Jehovah on Israel. An affirmation of Jehovah, Stretching out heaven, and founding earth, And forming the spirit of man in his midst.
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 Lo, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling To all the peoples round about, And also against Judah it is, In the siege against Jerusalem.
“Laba ŋŋenda okufuula Yerusaalemi ekikompe ekitagaza amawanga gonna ageetoolodde enjuuyi zonna. Yuda awamu ne Yerusaalemi birizingizibwa.
3 And it hath come to pass, in that day, I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth.
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 — an affirmation of Jehovah, I do smite every horse with astonishment, And its rider with madness, And on the house of Judah I open My eyes, And every horse of the peoples I smite 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 leaders of Judah have said in their heart, 'Strength to me [are] the inhabitants of Jerusalem, In Jehovah 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 I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have consumed — on the right and on the left — all the peoples round about, And Jerusalem hath inhabited again her place 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 And saved hath Jehovah the tents of Judah first, So that become not great against Judah Doth the beauty of the house of David, And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem.
“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 cover over doth Jehovah the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them hath been in that day as David, And the house of David as God — As a messenger of Jehovah — 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 hath come to pass, in that day, I seek to destroy all the nations Who are coming in against Jerusalem,
Ku lunaku olwo ndizikiriza amawanga gonna agalumba Yerusaalemi.
10 And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, A spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked unto Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over it, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for it, Like a bitterness over the 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, great is the mourning of 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 mourned hath the land — every family apart, The family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women 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 women apart; The family of Shimei apart, And their women apart,
Ekika eky’ennyumba ya Leevi ne bakazi baabwe, n’ekika kya Simeeyi ne bakazi baabwe;
14 All the families that are left, Every family apart, and their women apart!
n’ebika byonna ebirala ebisigaddeyo ne bakazi baabwe.
