撒迦利亚书 10
1 当春雨的时候， 你们要向发闪电的耶和华求雨。 他必为众人降下甘霖， 使田园生长菜蔬。
Ask from the Lord rain, at the time of spring rain, from the Lord who forms the storm clouds, and the showers of rain he gives to you, and green in the field.
2 因为，家神所言的是虚空； 卜士所见的是虚假； 做梦者所说的是假梦。 他们白白地安慰人， 所以众人如羊流离， 因无牧人就受苦。
But the household gods speak nonsense, and the diviners see lies, and relate idle dreams. In vain they offer comfort, so the people wander like sheep, They suffer because there is no shepherd.
3 我的怒气向牧人发作； 我必惩罚公山羊； 因我—万军之耶和华 眷顾自己的羊群，就是犹大家， 必使他们如骏马在阵上。
My wrath is hot against the shepherds, and on the leaders will I bring punishment. For the Lord cares for his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them his splendid war steeds.
4 房角石、钉子、争战的弓， 和一切掌权的都从他而出。
From Judah will come the cornerstone and the stay, from them the battle bow, from them goes forth every commander.
5 他们必如勇士在阵上 将仇敌践踏在街上的泥土中。 他们必争战，因为耶和华与他们同在； 骑马的也必羞愧。
Together they will trample on warriors, as on the dirt of the streets in battle. They fight, for the Lord is with them, putting the riders on horses to shame.
6 我要坚固犹大家，拯救约瑟家， 要领他们归回。 我要怜恤他们； 他们必像未曾弃绝的一样， 都因我是耶和华—他们的 神， 我必应允他们的祷告。
I will make strong the house of Judah, I will bring deliverance to the house of Joseph, I will bring them back for I have compassion on them, they will be as if I had not driven them away. For I am the Lord their God and will answer them.
7 以法莲人必如勇士； 他们心中畅快如同喝酒； 他们的儿女必看见而快活； 他们的心必因耶和华喜乐。
The Ephraimites will be like warriors, their hearts will rejoice as with wine, their children will see and rejoice. Their hearts will exult in the Lord.
8 我要发嘶声，聚集他们， 因我已经救赎他们。 他们的人数必加增， 如从前加增一样。
I will whistle for them, and gather them, and they will be as many as they once were.
9 我虽然播散他们在列国中， 他们必在远方记念我。 他们与儿女都必存活，且得归回。
I will sow them among the peoples, but in distant lands they will remember me, and they will bring up their children and come back.
10 我必再领他们出埃及地， 招聚他们出亚述， 领他们到基列和黎巴嫩； 这地尚且不够他们居住。
I will bring them home from the land of Egypt, and from Assyria will I gather them. Into the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them, until the land overflows with them.
11 耶和华必经过苦海，击打海浪， 使尼罗河的深处都枯干。 亚述的骄傲必致卑微； 埃及的权柄必然灭没。
And when they pass through the sea of distress, I will strike down the waves of the sea, and all the deeps of the Nile will be dried up. The pride of Assyria will be brought low and the sceptre of Egypt turned aside.
12 我必使他们倚靠我，得以坚固； 一举一动必奉我的名。 这是耶和华说的。
I will make them strong in the Lord, they will walk in his name, says the Lord.
