Zekkaliya 14
1 Olunaku lwa Mukama lujja, lwe muligabana bye mwanyaga.
Watch out! For the day of the Lord is coming when what has been plundered from you will be divided up right in front of you.
2 Ndikuŋŋaanyiza amawanga gonna mu Yerusaalemi mu lutalo okukirwanyisa; ekibuga kiritwalibwa, enju zinyagibwe n’abakazi bakwatibwe. Kimu kyakubiri eky’ekibuga kiritwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse; naye abalala abalisigalawo tebaliggibwa mu kibuga.
I will bring together all the nations to attack Jerusalem. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the population will be taken into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.
3 Awo Mukama alivaayo n’alwanyisa amawanga gali nga bwe yalwana ku lunaku olw’olutalo.
Then the Lord will go out to fight against the nations as he fights in times of war.
4 Ku lunaku olwo ebigere bye biriyimirira ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni olwolekedde obuvanjuba bwa Yerusaalemi, era olusozi lwa Zeyituuni lulyabuluzibwamu ebitundu bibiri okuva Ebuvanjuba okudda Ebugwanjuba era lujjemu oguwonvu oguwanvu ennyo. Ekitundu ekimu eky’olusozi kidde mu Bukiikakkono ekirala mu Bukiikaddyo.
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives which faces Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of Olives will split apart, with half moving north and half moving south, creating a wide valley from east to west.
5 Nammwe muliddukira mu kkubo ery’omu kiwonvu eky’olusozi lwange kubanga ekiwonvu kirisitulirwa waggulu era muddukanga nga bwe mwadduka musisi eyayita mu mirembe gya Uzziya, kabaka wa Yuda. Awo Mukama Katonda wange alijja n’abatukuvu be bonna.
You will run away through this mountain valley for it will reach as far as Azal. You will run away like people did at the time of the earthquake during the reign of Uzzah, king of Judah. Then the Lord will come, accompanied by all his holy ones.
6 Ku lunaku olwo teriba kitangaala, newaakubadde obunnyogovu wadde obutiti.
On that day there will be no longer cold and frost.
7 Naye luliba lunaku lwa njawulo, awataliba misana wadde kiro: olunaku olumanyiddwa Mukama. Obudde bwe buliwungeera walibaawo ekitangaala.
It will be one continuous day (only the Lord knows how this could happen). It won't be day or night, because in the evening it will still be light.
8 Ku lunaku olwo amazzi amalamu galikulukuta okuva mu Yerusaalemi; agamu gagende mu nnyanja ey’Ebuvanjuba n’amalala mu nnyanja ey’Ebugwanjuba; mu kyeya ne mu ttoggo.
On that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of it going east to the Dead Sea and half going west to the Mediterranean Sea, flowing in summer and winter alike.
9 Mukama alibeera kabaka ow’ensi zonna: ku lunaku olwo Mukama alibeera omu yekka n’erinnya lye liribeera erinnya lyokka.
The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one true Lord, and his name the only one.
10 Ensi yonna okuva e Geba okutuuka e Limmoni ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo obwa Yerusaalemi; erifuuka nga Alaba naye Yerusaalemi kiriyimusibwa ne kisigala mu kifo kyakyo okuva ku mulongooti gwe Kananeri okutuuka ku masogolero ga kabaka.
The whole land will be transformed into a plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem will be raised up to where it was, and people will live there from the Benjamin Gate to where the old gate was, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.
11 Abantu balikibeeramu, tekigenda kuddayo kuzikirizibwa. Yerusaalemi kiriba kinywevu.
It will be inhabited and never again condemned to destruction again—people will be able to live in safety in Jerusalem.
12 Ono ye kawumpuli Mukama gw’alikubisa amawanga gonna agaalwanyisa Yerusaalemi. Emibiri gyabwe girivunda nga bakyali balamu. Amaaso gabavundire mu biwanga, n’ennimi zibavundire mu kamwa.
This will be the plague that the Lord will use to strike all the nations that attacked Jerusalem. Their flesh shall rot while they are still standing on their feet; their eyes will rot in their sockets; their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 Ku lunaku olwo Mukama alireetera abantu ekyekango eky’amaanyi. Buli muntu alikwata omukono gwa munne nga balwanagana.
On that day the Lord will strike them with a terrible panic, and they will seize one another, and fight hand-to-hand.
14 Ne Yuda alirwanira mu Yerusaalemi era obugagga bw’ensi zonna eziriraanyeewo bukuŋŋaanyizibwe, zaabu n’effeeza n’ebyambalo bingi nnyo nga nabyo bikuŋŋaanyizibbwa.
Even Judah will fight in Jerusalem. The wealth of the surrounding nations shall be collected: lots of gold, silver, and clothes.
15 Era kawumpuli ng’oli aligwa ku mbalaasi, ne ku nnyumbu, ne ku ŋŋamira, n’endogoyi, ne ku nsolo zonna eziriba mu bisulo ebyo.
A similar plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all other animals that may be in their camps.
16 Abo abalisigalawo ku mawanga agaalumba Yerusaalemi banaayambukanga buli mwaka okusinza Mukama kabaka ow’Eggye era n’okukwatanga embaga ey’ensiisira.
After this every one of the survivors from the nations that attacked Jerusalem will go there to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
17 Omuntu yenna mu nsi bw’ataagendenga Yerusaalemi kusinza Mukama Kabaka ow’Eggye, taafunenga nkuba.
If any of the peoples of the world refuse to go to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.
18 Abamisiri bwe bataagendenga kwetabamu, tebaafunenga nkuba. Mukama anaabareeteranga kawumpuli, gwakubisa amawanga agatagenda kukwata mbaga ey’ensiisira.
If the Egyptian people refuse to go and attend, then the Lord will inflict on them the same plague as on the other nations who will not go celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
19 Ekyo kye kinaabanga ekibonerezo kya Misiri n’amawanga gonna agataayambukenga kukwata mbaga ya nsiisira.
This will be the punishment on Egypt and all the nations if they do not go to Jerusalem and celebrate.
20 Ku lunaku olwo ekigambo kino, “kitukuvu eri Mukama Katonda,” kinaawandikibwa ku bide by’embalaasi era n’entamu ezifuumbirwamu mu nnyumba ya Mukama zinaabeeranga ng’ebibya ebitukuvu mu maaso g’ekyoto.
On that day the bells worn by horses will be engraved with the words “Holy to the Lord.” The household cooking pots used in the Lord's Temple will be as holy as the bowls used on the altar in the presence of the Lord.
21 Weewaawo, buli nsuwa mu Yerusaalemi ne mu Yuda eneebanga ntukuvu mu maaso ga Mukama ow’Eggye; n’abo bonna abanajjanga okuwaayo ssaddaaka banaafumbiranga mu zimu ku ntamu ezo. Era ku lunaku olwo, waliba tewakyali Mukanani mu nnyumba ya Mukama ow’Eggye.
Every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, so that everyone who comes to sacrifice can take them and cook their sacrificial meat in them. On that day there will no longer be traders in the Lord's Temple.
