撒迦利亞書 10
1 當春雨的時候， 你們要向發閃電的耶和華求雨。 他必為眾人降下甘霖， 使田園生長菜蔬。
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 因為，家神所言的是虛空； 卜士所見的是虛假； 做夢者所說的是假夢。 他們白白地安慰人， 所以眾人如羊流離， 因無牧人就受苦。
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 我的怒氣向牧人發作； 我必懲罰公山羊； 因我－萬軍之耶和華 眷顧自己的羊群，就是猶大家， 必使他們如駿馬在陣上。
My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats, for the LORD of Hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
4 房角石、釘子、爭戰的弓， 和一切掌權的都從他而出。
From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
5 他們必如勇士在陣上 將仇敵踐踏在街上的泥土中。 他們必爭戰，因為耶和華與他們同在； 騎馬的也必羞愧。
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 我要堅固猶大家，拯救約瑟家， 要領他們歸回。 我要憐恤他們； 他們必像未曾棄絕的一樣， 都因我是耶和華－他們的上帝， 我必應允他們的禱告。
“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 以法蓮人必如勇士； 他們心中暢快如同喝酒； 他們的兒女必看見而快活； 他們的心必因耶和華喜樂。
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 我要發嘶聲，聚集他們， 因我已經救贖他們。 他們的人數必加增， 如從前加增一樣。
I will signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were before.
9 我雖然播散他們在列國中， 他們必在遠方記念我。 他們與兒女都必存活，且得歸回。
I will sow them among the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will return.
10 我必再領他們出埃及地， 招聚他們出亞述， 領他們到基列和黎巴嫩； 這地尚且不夠他們居住。
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 耶和華必經過苦海，擊打海浪， 使尼羅河的深處都枯乾。 亞述的驕傲必致卑微； 埃及的權柄必然滅沒。
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 我必使他們倚靠我，得以堅固； 一舉一動必奉我的名。 這是耶和華說的。
I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
