Mikka 4
1 Mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma olusozi lw’ennyumba ya Mukama luligulumizibwa okusinga ensozi zonna; lulisitulibwa waggulu okusukkuluma ku busozi, era abantu balisimba ennyiriri nga balaga gye luli.
But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it.
2 Amawanga mangi galiragayo ne googera nti, “Mujje twambuke ku lusozi lwa Mukama, mu nnyumba ya Katonda wa Yakobo. Alituyigiriza by’ayagala tulyoke tutambulire mu makubo ge.” Alisinziira mu Sayuuni okuwa abantu etteeka lye, n’ekigambo kya Mukama kiriva mu Yerusaalemi.
Many nations will go and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion will go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem;
3 Aliramula amawanga atereeze ensonga wakati w’amawanga gakirimaanyi ag’ewala. Baliddira ebitala byabwe ne babiweesaamu enkumbi, n’amafumu gaabwe ne bagaweesaamu ebiwabyo. Eggwanga teririyimusa kitala ku ggwanga linnaalyo, so tebalyetegeka kulwana ntalo nate.
and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.
4 Buli muntu aliba mu ddembe wansi w’omuzabbibu gwe ne mu mutiini gwe. Tewalibaawo abatiisa kubanga akamwa ka Mukama Ayinzabyonna ke kakyogedde.
But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one will make them afraid: For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.
5 Newaakubadde nga amawanga gonna galigoberera bakatonda baago, naye ffe tunaatambuliranga mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda waffe emirembe n’emirembe.
Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
6 “Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “Ndikuŋŋaanya abalema, n’abo abaawaŋŋangusibwa n’abo abali mu nnaku.
"In that day," says the LORD, "I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
7 Abalema ndibafuula abalonde, n’abo be nagoba, mbafuule eggwanga ery’amaanyi. Mukama alibafugira mu Lusozi Sayuuni okuva ku lunaku olwo okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever."
8 Ggwe omunaala oguyimirirwamu okulabirira endiga, ggwe ekigo eky’amaanyi ekya Muwala wa Sayuuni, ekitiibwa kyo eky’edda kirikuddira, n’obwakabaka ne bukomawo eri Muwala wa Sayuuni.”
And you, tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Naye kaakano kiki ekibakaabya ennyo bwe mutyo? Temulina kabaka abakulembera? Omuwi w’amagezi wammwe yafa, ennaku eryoke ebakwate ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala?
Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pain has gripped you like a woman in labor?
10 Lumwa, weenyoole ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala. Kubanga kaakano oteekwa okuva mu kibuga ogende obeere ku ttale. Mulitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni, era eyo gye ndibalokolera. Ndibanunulira eyo okuva mu mukono gw’omulabe.
Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go forth out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Kyokka kaakano amawanga mangi gakuŋŋaanye okubalwanyisa. Boogera nti, Ayonoonebwe, n’amaaso gaffe geelolere Sayuuni.
Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."
12 Naye tebamanyi birowoozo bya Mukama; tebategeera kuteesa kwe; oyo akuŋŋaanya abalabe be ng’ebinywa by’eŋŋaano bwe bikuŋŋaanyizibwa mu gguuliro.
But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Golokoka otandike okusa ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni, kubanga ejjembe lyo ndirifuula ekyuma; ndikuwa ebigere eby’ekyuma eky’ekikomo era olibetenta amawanga mangi.” Amagoba gaabwe n’ebintu byabwe bye bafunye mu makubo amakyamu olibiwaayo eri Mukama, n’obugagga bwabwe n’obuwaayo eri Mukama w’ensi zonna.
Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze; and you will beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
