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 a word of YHWH against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh—his place of rest: (When to YHWH [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel).
2 era ne Kamasi ekiriraanyeewo nakyo bwe kityo, ne Ttuulo ne Sidoni wadde nga birina amagezi mangi.
And also Hamath borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!
3 Ttuulo kyezimbira ekigo ne kituuma ffeeza n’eba ng’enfuufu, ne zaabu n’eba nnyingi ng’ettaka ery’omu kkubo.
And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, And heaps silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
4 Laba, Mukama alikyambulako ebintu byakyo, alizikiriza amaanyi gaakyo ag’oku nnyanja, era kiryokebwa omuliro.
Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, And He has struck her force in the sea, And she is 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.
Ashkelon sees and fears, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron—for her expectation dried up, And a king has perished from Gaza, And Ashkelon does not remain,
6 Abagwira balitwala Asudodi, era n’amalala g’Abafirisuuti ndigamalawo.
“And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellence 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 turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he has remained, even he, to our God, And he has been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 Naye ndirwanirira ennyumba yange eri eggye eddumbaganyi, so tewaliba mulumbaganyi aliddayo kujooga bantu bange kubanga kaakano mbalabirira.
And I have pitched a camp for My house, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And an exactor does not pass through against them again, For now, I have seen with My 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 exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Behold, your King comes to you, Righteous and having salvation, Afflicted—and riding on a donkey, And on a colt—a son of female donkeys.
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 I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Indeed, the bow of battle has been cut off, And He has spoken peace to nations, And His rule [is] from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.
11 Naawe ggwe, olw’omusaayi gw’endagaano gye nakola naawe, ndisumulula abasibe bo okuva mu bunnya obutaliimu mazzi.
Also You—by the blood of Your covenant, I have sent Your prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.
12 Mudde mu nkambi yammwe mmwe abasibe abalina essuubi; nangirira leero nti ndibadizaawo emirundi ebiri.
Return to a stronghold, You prisoners of the hope, Even today a second announcer I restore to you.
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 trodden for Myself with Judah, I have filled a bow [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up your sons, O Zion, Against your sons, O Javan, And I have set you as the sword of a hero.”
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 YHWH appears for them, And His arrow has gone forth as lightning, And Lord YHWH blows with a horn, And He has gone with whirlwinds of the south.
15 Mukama ow’Eggye alibakuuma. Balirinnyirira ne bawangula envuumuulo, balinywa ne baleekaana ng’abatamiivu. Balijjula ng’ekibya ekikozesebwa okumansira ku nsonda z’ekyoto.
YHWH of Hosts covers them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Indeed, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an 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 their God YHWH has saved them in that day, As a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.
17 Nga baliba balungi era abatuukirivu! Emmere ey’empeke erireetera abavubuka abalenzi obulamu obweyagaza, n’abawala nabo beeyagale olwa wayini omuggya.
For what His goodness! And what His beauty! Grain the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!
