Zekariya 10
1 Pemphani mvula kwa Yehova pa nthawi yamphukira; ndi Yehova amene amapanga mitambo ya mvula. Iye amagwetsa mivumbi ya mvula kwa anthu, ndi kumeretsa mbewu za mʼmunda kwa aliyense.
Ask ye of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain! It is Jehovah that maketh the lightning; And he will give you abundant showers, To every one the herb of the field.
2 Mafano amayankhula zachinyengo, owombeza mawula amaona masomphenya abodza; amafotokoza maloto onama, amapereka chitonthozo chopandapake. Choncho anthu amangoyendayenda ngati nkhosa zozunzika chifukwa chosowa mʼbusa.
For the teraphim speak falsehood, And the diviners see a lie, And the dreams speak falsehood; Vain are their consolations. Therefore they wander as a flock; They are in distress, because there is no shepherd.
3 “Ine ndawakwiyira kwambiri abusa, ndipo ndidzalanga atsogoleri; pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzasamalira nkhosa zake, nyumba ya Yuda, ndi kuwasandutsa ngati akavalo aulemerero ankhondo.
My anger is kindled against the shepherds, And the bucks will I punish; For Jehovah of hosts will visit his flock, the house of Judah, And make them as his goodly horse in battle.
4 Mu Yuda mudzachokera mwala wapangodya, mudzachokera chikhomo cha tenti, mudzachokera uta wankhondo, mudzachokera mtsogoleri aliyense.
From him shall come forth the corner-stone, From him the nail, From him the battle-bow; From him shall every leader come forth.
5 Onse pamodzi adzakhala ngati ngwazi zankhondo zoponda mʼmatope a mʼmisewu nthawi yankhondo. Chifukwa Yehova adzakhala nawo, adzachita nkhondo ndi kugonjetsa okwera pa akavalo.
And they shall be as mighty men, Who tread down their enemies in battle as the mire of the streets, And they shall fight, because Jehovah is with them, So that the riders on horses shall be confounded.
6 “Ndidzalimbitsa nyumba ya Yuda ndi kupulumutsa nyumba ya Yosefe. Ndidzawabwezeretsa chifukwa ndawamvera chisoni. Adzakhala ngati kuti sindinawakane, chifukwa ndine Yehova Mulungu wawo ndipo ndidzawayankha.
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, And give victory to the house of Joseph, And I will set them in their dwellings, because I have compassion upon them; And they shall be as though I had not cast them off; For I am Jehovah, their God, and I will hear them.
7 Aefereimu adzakhala ngati ankhondo amphamvu adzasangalala ngati anthu amene amwa vinyo. Ana awo adzaziona zimenezi ndipo adzasangalala; mʼmitima mwawo adzakondwa mwa Ambuye.
And Ephraim shall be as a mighty man, And their heart shall rejoice, as through wine; And their sons shall see it and rejoice, Their hearts shall rejoice in Jehovah.
8 Ndidzaliza mluzu ndi kuwasonkhanitsa pamodzi. Ndithu ndawawombola; adzachulukana ngati poyamba paja.
I will whistle for them, and will gather them; for I have redeemed them; And they shall increase as they increased before.
9 Ndinawamwaza pakati pa mitundu ina ya anthu, koma ku mayiko akutaliwo adzandikumbukira. Iwo pamodzi ndi ana awo adzapulumuka, ndipo adzabwerera.
Though I scatter them among the nations, Yet in far countries will they remember me; And they shall live with their children, and shall return.
10 Ndidzawabweretsa kuchokera ku Igupto ndipo ndidzawasonkhanitsa kuchokera ku Asiriya. Ndidzawabwezera ku Giliyadi ndi ku Lebanoni, mpaka malo woti nʼkukhalamo adzatheratu.
And I will bring them back from the land of Egypt, And from Assyria will I gather them; And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and of Lebanon, And there shall not be room enough for them.
11 Adzawoloka nyanja ya masautso; nyanja yokokoma idzagonja ndipo madzi onse a mu Nailo adzaphwa. Kudzikuza kwa Asiriya kudzatha ndipo ndodo yaufumu ya Igupto idzathyoka.
And he shall pass through the sea of distress, And he shall smite the sea of waves, And all the depths of the river shall be dried up; And the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, And the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.
12 Ndidzalimbitsa iwo mwa Yehova ndipo adzayenda mʼdzina lake,” akutero Yehova.
And I will strengthen them through Jehovah, And in his name shall they walk, saith Jehovah.
