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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
4 Mu Yuda mudzachokera mwala wapangodya, mudzachokera chikhomo cha tenti, mudzachokera uta wankhondo, mudzachokera mtsogoleri aliyense.
From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
5 Onse pamodzi adzakhala ngati ngwazi zankhondo zoponda mʼmatope a mʼmisewu nthawi yankhondo. Chifukwa Yehova adzakhala nawo, adzachita nkhondo ndi kugonjetsa okwera pa akavalo.
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.
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.
“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.
7 Aefereimu adzakhala ngati ankhondo amphamvu adzasangalala ngati anthu amene amwa vinyo. Ana awo adzaziona zimenezi ndipo adzasangalala; mʼmitima mwawo adzakondwa mwa Ambuye.
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.
8 Ndidzaliza mluzu ndi kuwasonkhanitsa pamodzi. Ndithu ndawawombola; adzachulukana ngati poyamba paja.
I will signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were before.
9 Ndinawamwaza pakati pa mitundu ina ya anthu, koma ku mayiko akutaliwo adzandikumbukira. Iwo pamodzi ndi ana awo adzapulumuka, ndipo adzabwerera.
I will sow them among the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will return.
10 Ndidzawabweretsa kuchokera ku Igupto ndipo ndidzawasonkhanitsa kuchokera ku Asiriya. Ndidzawabwezera ku Giliyadi ndi ku Lebanoni, mpaka malo woti nʼkukhalamo adzatheratu.
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 won’t 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.
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.
12 Ndidzalimbitsa iwo mwa Yehova ndipo adzayenda mʼdzina lake,” akutero Yehova.
I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
