Zekkaliya 10
1 Musabe Mukama enkuba mu biseera byayo; kubanga Mukama y’akola ebire enkuba n’etonnya, olwo buli muntu n’afuna ebirime.
Ask of the LORD rain in the spring time, The LORD who makes lightnings, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
2 Kubanga bakatonda abalala n’abalaguzi balaba okwolesebwa okw’obulimba; ne baloota ebirooto eby’obulimba, ne bagumya abantu eby’obulimba. Abantu kyebava bazuŋŋana ng’endiga, nga banyigirizibwa olw’obutaba na musumba.
For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
3 “Obusungu bwange bubuubuukidde ku basumba era nzija kubonereza abakulembeze ba Yuda, kubanga Mukama ow’Eggye ajja kulabirira endiga ze, ennyumba ya Yuda, era alibafuula ng’embalaasi ye emwenyumiririzaamu ennyo mu lutalo.
My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats; For the LORD of hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
4 Mu Yuda mulivaamu ejjinja ery’oku nsonda, muveemu n’enkondo enyweza weema, muveemu n’omutego ogw’akasaale era muveemu na buli mufuzi yenna.
From him will come forth the cornerstone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
5 Bonna awamu balyoke babe ng’abasajja abazira ennyo mu lutalo abatambulira mu bitoomi by’omu nguudo mu biseera eby’entalo. Kubanga Mukama ali nabo, balirwana ne bawangula eggye eryebagadde embalaasi.
They shall be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them; and the riders on horses will be confounded.
6 “Ndiwa ennyumba ya Yuda amaanyi era ndiwonya ennyumba ya Yusufu, ndibakomyawo kubanga mbakwatiddwa ekisa. Balibeera nga be sseegaanangako era ndibawulira kubanga nze Mukama Katonda waabwe.
"I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy on them; and they will be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them.
7 Olwo aba Efulayimu baliba ng’abasajja ab’amaanyi, emitima gyabwe ne gisanyuka nnyo ng’abanywedde wayini. Abaana baabwe balikiraba ne basanyuka, omutima gwabwe gulisanyukira mu Mukama.
Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine; yes, their children will see it, and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in the LORD.
8 Ddala ndibawonya ne mbakuŋŋaanya. Ddala ndibanunula, baddeyo babeere bangi nga bwe baabanga.
I will signal for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they will increase as they have increased.
9 Newaakubadde nga nabasaasaanyiza mu mawanga, naye balisinzira eyo mu nsi ezeewala ne banzijukira. Bo n’abaana baabwe baliba balamu era ne bakomawo gye ndi.
I will sow them among the peoples; and they will remember me in far countries; and they will live with their children, and will return.
10 Ndibakomyawo okuva mu Misiri, mbakuŋŋaanye okuva mu Bwasuli. Ndibaleeta mu Gireyaadi ne Lebanooni ne bajjula ensi ezo ne watasigalawo kabanga ka kubeeramu.
I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there won't be room enough for them.
11 Baliyita mu nnyanja ey’okubonaabona; ennyanja ewuluguma erikkakkanyizibwa, n’obuziba bwa Kiyira bwonna bulikala. Amalala ga Bwasuli galibaggwaamu n’omugo ogw’obufuzi bwa Misiri gulimenyebwa.
He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
12 Ndibafuula ba maanyi mu Mukama era nabo balitambulira mu linnya lyange,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they will walk up and down in his name," says the LORD.
