Zechariah 10
1 Ask of the LORD rain in the spring time, the LORD who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
Musabe Mukama enkuba mu biseera byayo; kubanga Mukama y’akola ebire enkuba n’etonnya, olwo buli muntu n’afuna ebirime.
2 For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
Kubanga bakatonda abalala n’abalaguzi balaba okwolesebwa okw’obulimba; ne baloota ebirooto eby’obulimba, ne bagumya abantu eby’obulimba. Abantu kyebava bazuŋŋana ng’endiga, nga banyigirizibwa olw’obutaba na musumba.
3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats, for the LORD of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
“Obusungu bwange bubuubuukidde ku basumba era nzija kubonereza abakulembeze ba Yuda, kubanga Mukama ow’Eggye ajja kulabirira endiga ze, ennyumba ya Yuda, era alibafuula ng’embalaasi ye emwenyumiririzaamu ennyo mu lutalo.
4 From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
Mu Yuda mulivaamu ejjinja ery’oku nsonda, muveemu n’enkondo enyweza weema, muveemu n’omutego ogw’akasaale era muveemu na buli mufuzi yenna.
5 They will be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle. They will fight, because the LORD is with them. The riders on horses will be confounded.
Bonna awamu balyoke babe ng’abasajja abazira ennyo mu lutalo abatambulira mu bitoomi by’omu nguudo mu biseera eby’entalo. Kubanga Mukama ali nabo, balirwana ne bawangula eggye eryebagadde embalaasi.
6 “I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, for I have mercy on them. They will be as though I had not cast them off, for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them.
“Ndiwa ennyumba ya Yuda amaanyi era ndiwonya ennyumba ya Yusufu, ndibakomyawo kubanga mbakwatiddwa ekisa. Balibeera nga be sseegaanangako era ndibawulira kubanga nze Mukama Katonda waabwe.
7 Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine. Yes, their children will see it and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in the LORD.
Olwo aba Efulayimu baliba ng’abasajja ab’amaanyi, emitima gyabwe ne gisanyuka nnyo ng’abanywedde wayini. Abaana baabwe balikiraba ne basanyuka, omutima gwabwe gulisanyukira mu Mukama.
8 I will signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were before.
Ddala ndibawonya ne mbakuŋŋaanya. Ddala ndibanunula, baddeyo babeere bangi nga bwe baabanga.
9 I will sow them among the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will return.
Newaakubadde nga nabasaasaanyiza mu mawanga, naye balisinzira eyo mu nsi ezeewala ne banzijukira. Bo n’abaana baabwe baliba balamu era ne bakomawo gye ndi.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there will not be room enough for them.
Ndibakomyawo okuva mu Misiri, mbakuŋŋaanye okuva mu Bwasuli. Ndibaleeta mu Gireyaadi ne Lebanooni ne bajjula ensi ezo ne watasigalawo kabanga ka kubeeramu.
11 He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
Baliyita mu nnyanja ey’okubonaabona; ennyanja ewuluguma erikkakkanyizibwa, n’obuziba bwa Kiyira bwonna bulikala. Amalala ga Bwasuli galibaggwaamu n’omugo ogw’obufuzi bwa Misiri gulimenyebwa.
12 I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
Ndibafuula ba maanyi mu Mukama era nabo balitambulira mu linnya lyange,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
