Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of the LORD. In the land of Hadrach, and in Damascus shall be His resting-place; for the LORD'S is the eye of man and all the tribes of Israel.
Ekigambo kya Katonda kyolekedde ensi ya Kadulaki era kirituuka e Ddamasiko. Kubanga abantu bonna n’ebika byonna ebya Isirayiri batunuulidde Mukama,
2 And Hamath also shall border thereon; Tyre and Zidon, for she is very wise.
era ne Kamasi ekiriraanyeewo nakyo bwe kityo, ne Ttuulo ne Sidoni wadde nga birina amagezi mangi.
3 And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Ttuulo kyezimbira ekigo ne kituuma ffeeza n’eba ng’enfuufu, ne zaabu n’eba nnyingi ng’ettaka ery’omu kkubo.
4 Behold, the Lord will impoverish her, and He will smite her power into the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Laba, Mukama alikyambulako ebintu byakyo, alizikiriza amaanyi gaakyo ag’oku nnyanja, era kiryokebwa omuliro.
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be sore pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
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.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Abagwira balitwala Asudodi, era n’amalala g’Abafirisuuti ndigamalawo.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his detestable things from between his teeth, and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chief in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
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.
8 And I will encamp about My house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more; for now have I seen with Mine eyes.
Naye ndirwanirira ennyumba yange eri eggye eddumbaganyi, so tewaliba mulumbaganyi aliddayo kujooga bantu bange kubanga kaakano mbalabirira.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy king cometh unto thee, he is triumphant, and victorious, lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
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.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
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.
11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
Naawe ggwe, olw’omusaayi gw’endagaano gye nakola naawe, ndisumulula abasibe bo okuva mu bunnya obutaliimu mazzi.
12 Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope; even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.
Mudde mu nkambi yammwe mmwe abasibe abalina essuubi; nangirira leero nti ndibadizaawo emirundi ebiri.
13 For I bend Judah for Me, I fill the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Javan, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
Yuda ndigiweta ng’omutego ogw’obusaale ngujjuze Efulayimu. Ndiyimusa batabani ba Sayuuni, balwane n’abaana bo, ggwe Buyonaani, mbakozese ng’ekitala eky’omutabaazi.
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord GOD will blow the horn, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
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.
15 The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like the basins, like the corners of the altar.
Mukama ow’Eggye alibakuuma. Balirinnyirira ne bawangula envuumuulo, balinywa ne baleekaana ng’abatamiivu. Balijjula ng’ekibya ekikozesebwa okumansira ku nsonda z’ekyoto.
16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, glittering over His land.
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.
17 For how great is their goodness, and how great is their beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids.
Nga baliba balungi era abatuukirivu! Emmere ey’empeke erireetera abavubuka abalenzi obulamu obweyagaza, n’abawala nabo beeyagale olwa wayini omuggya.
