Zekkaliya 2
1 Awo ne nnyimusa amaaso gange, ne ndaba, omusajja ng’alina mu mukono gwe olukoba olupima.
I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Ne mubuuza nti, “Ogenda wa?” Nanziramu nti, “Ŋŋenda kupima Yerusaalemi okulaba obuwanvu n’obugazi bwakyo.”
Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
3 Awo malayika eyali ayogera nange n’agenda, malayika omulala n’amusisinkana.
Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 N’amugamba nti, “Dduka ogambe omuvubuka oyo nti, ‘Yerusaalemi kijja kuba ekibuga ekitaliiko bbugwe olw’obungi bw’abantu n’ebisibo ebinaabeeramu.
and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
5 Nze ndiba bbugwe ow’omuliro, okukyebungulula enjuuyi zonna era nze ndiba ekitiibwa kyakyo mu kyo,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
6 “Kale mudduke, mudduke ensi ey’obukiikakkono mugiveemu,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “kubanga mbasaasanyizza ng’empewo ennya ez’eggulu bwe ziri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD.
7 “Mmwe Sayuuni mudduke, mudukke muwone mmwe ababeera mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni.”
‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
8 Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Mukama nga bw’ampadde ekitiibwa n’antuma eri amawanga agaabanyaganga, anaabakwatako anaaba akutte ku mmunye ya liiso lye.
For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9 Kubanga laba ndyolesa omukono gwange gye bali, abaddu baabwe ne babanyaga. Olwo lwe mulimanya nga Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma.
For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me.
10 “Yimba, osanyuke ggwe muwala wa Sayuuni, kubanga laba nzija era ndibeera wakati mu mmwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
11 “Era amawanga mangi galyegatta ku Mukama ku lunaku olwo, era balibeera bantu bange, era nange nnaabeeranga wakati mu ggwe, naawe onootegeera nga Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma gy’oli.
Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.
12 Era Yuda aliba mugabo gwa Mukama mu nsi entukuvu, era aliddamu okwerondera Yerusaalemi.
The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
13 Musiriikirire, abantu mwenna mu maaso ga Mukama, kubanga asituse okuva mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.”
Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
