Zekkaliya 9
1 Ekigambo kya Katonda kyolekedde ensi ya Kadulaki era kirituuka e Ddamasiko. Kubanga abantu bonna n’ebika byonna ebya Isirayiri batunuulidde Mukama,
The burden of the word of the Lord, in the land of Sedrach, and his sacrifice [shall be] in Damascus; for the Lord looks upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel.
2 era ne Kamasi ekiriraanyeewo nakyo bwe kityo, ne Ttuulo ne Sidoni wadde nga birina amagezi mangi.
And in Emath, [even] in her coasts, [are] Tyre and Sidon, because they were very wise.
3 Ttuulo kyezimbira ekigo ne kituuma ffeeza n’eba ng’enfuufu, ne zaabu n’eba nnyingi ng’ettaka ery’omu kkubo.
And Tyrus built strong-holds for herself, and heaped up silver as dust, and gathered gold as the mire of the ways.
4 Laba, Mukama alikyambulako ebintu byakyo, alizikiriza amaanyi gaakyo ag’oku nnyanja, era kiryokebwa omuliro.
And therefore the Lord will take them for a possession, and will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be consumed with fire.
5 Asukulooni bino kiribiraba ne kitya; ne Gaza bwe kityo kiribeera mu kulumwa okw’amaanyi. Era n’essuubi lya Ekuloni liriggwaawo; Gaza aliggyibwako kabaka we, ne Asukulooni tekiribaamu bantu.
Ascalon shall see, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Accaron; for she is ashamed at her trespass; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited.
6 Abagwira balitwala Asudodi, era n’amalala g’Abafirisuuti ndigamalawo.
And aliens shall dwell in Azotus, and I will bring down the pride of the Philistines.
7 Era ndiggya omusaayi mu kamwa ke n’emmere ey’omuzizo okuva wakati mu mannyo ge. N’abo bonna abalisigalawo mu kyo baliba bantu ba Katonda waffe, balifuuka bakulembeze mu Yuda, ne Ekuloni kiriba nga Abayebusi.
And I will take their blood out of their mouth, and their abominations from between their teeth; and these also shall be left to our God, and they shall be as a captain of a thousand in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.
8 Naye ndirwanirira ennyumba yange eri eggye eddumbaganyi, so tewaliba mulumbaganyi aliddayo kujooga bantu bange kubanga kaakano mbalabirira.
And I will set up a defence for my house, that they may not pass through, nor turn back, neither shall there any more come upon them one to drive them away: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
9 Sanyuka nnyo ggwe omuwala wa Sayuuni: leekaana nnyo, ggwe omuwala wa Yerusaalemi; laba, kabaka wo ajja gy’oli; mutuukirivu era muwanguzi; muwombeefu era yeebagadde endogoyi, endogoyi ento, omwana gw’endogoyi.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion; proclaim [it] aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, the King is coming to thee, just, and a Saviour; he is meek and riding on an ass, and a young foal.
10 Efulayimu ndimuggyako amagaali, ne Yerusaalemi muggyeko embalaasi ennwanyi, n’omutego gw’obusaale gulimenyebwa era alireeta emirembe mu mawanga, n’obufuzi bwe buliva ku nnyanja emu butuuke ku nnyanja endala era buve ku mugga Fulaati butuuke ku nkomerero z’ensi.
And he shall destroy the chariots out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow of war shall be utterly destroyed; and [there shall be] abundance and peace out of the nations; and he shall rule over the waters as far as the sea, and the rivers [to] the ends of the earth.
11 Naawe ggwe, olw’omusaayi gw’endagaano gye nakola naawe, ndisumulula abasibe bo okuva mu bunnya obutaliimu mazzi.
And thou by the blood of thy covenant has sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit that has no water.
12 Mudde mu nkambi yammwe mmwe abasibe abalina essuubi; nangirira leero nti ndibadizaawo emirundi ebiri.
Ye shall dwell in strongholds, ye prisoners of the congregation: and for one day of thy captivity I will recompense thee double.
13 Yuda ndigiweta ng’omutego ogw’obusaale ngujjuze Efulayimu. Ndiyimusa batabani ba Sayuuni, balwane n’abaana bo, ggwe Buyonaani, mbakozese ng’ekitala eky’omutabaazi.
For I have bent thee, O Juda, for myself [as] a bow, I have filled Ephraim; and I will raise up thy children, O Sion, against the children of the Greeks, and I will handle thee as the sword of a warrior.
14 Era Mukama alirabika ng’ali waggulu waabwe, akasaale ke kamyanse ng’okumyansa kw’eggulu. Mukama Katonda alifuuwa ekkondeere, n’akumbira mu muyaga ogw’omu bukiikaddyo.
And the Lord shall be over them, and [his] arrow shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord Almighty shall blow with the trumpet; and shall proceed with the tumult of his threatening.
15 Mukama ow’Eggye alibakuuma. Balirinnyirira ne bawangula envuumuulo, balinywa ne baleekaana ng’abatamiivu. Balijjula ng’ekibya ekikozesebwa okumansira ku nsonda z’ekyoto.
The Lord Almighty shall protect them, and they shall destroy them, and overwhelm them with sling-stones; and they shall swallow them down as wine, and fill the bowls as the altar.
16 Ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda alirokola abantu be ng’omusumba bw’alokola ekisibo ky’endiga ze. Balitangalijja mu nsi ye, ng’amayinja ag’omuwendo bwe gatemagana mu ngule.
And the Lord their God shall save them in that day, [even] his people as a flock; for holy stones are rolled upon his land.
17 Nga baliba balungi era abatuukirivu! Emmere ey’empeke erireetera abavubuka abalenzi obulamu obweyagaza, n’abawala nabo beeyagale olwa wayini omuggya.
For if he has anything good, and if he has anything fair, the young [men shall have] corn, and [there shall be] fragrant wine to the virgins.
