Zekkaliya 13
1 “Ku lunaku olwo ensulo z’amazzi ziriggulirwa ennyumba ya Dawudi n’abatuuze b’omu Yerusaalemi okubatukuza okuva mu kibi n’obutali bulongoofu.
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2 “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.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, [that] I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
3 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.
And it shall come to pass, if any shall yet prophesy, that his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of Jehovah; and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
4 “Ku lunaku olwo buli nnabbi alikwatibwa ensonyi olw’okwolesebwa kwe okw’obulimba; era tebalyambala kyambalo kyabwe eky’ebyoya okulimba abantu.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive.
5 Aligamba nti, ‘Siri nnabbi nze, ndi mulimi bulimi; era mu nnimiro mwe nkoledde emirimu gyange obulamu bwange bwonna.’
And he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for man acquired me [as bondman] from my youth.
6 Era singa omuntu bamubuuza nti, ‘Ate bino ebiwundu ebiri ku mubiri gwo bya ki?’ Aliddamu nti, ‘Ebiwundu n’abifunira mu nnyumba ya mikwano gyange.’”
And one shall say unto him, What are those wounds in thy hands? And he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 “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.
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, even against the man [that is] my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered, and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.
8 Mu nsi yonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “bibiri bya kusatu bye birikubwa bisaanewo, naye kimu kya kusatu kye kirisigalamu.
And it shall come to pass in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left therein.
9 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.’”
And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will answer them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.
