Zaharija 10
1 Tražite od Jahve dažda u vrijeme proljetno! Jahve stvara munje i daje kišu; čovjeku kruh daje, a stoci travu.
Ask ye of the Lord rain in the latter season, and the Lord will make snows, and will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
2 Lažno bajaju kumiri, prijevaru vide gatari, obmanu govore snovi, varljivu utjehu daju, zato kao stado blude ljudi, lutaju jer nemaju pastira.
For the idols have spoken what was unprofitable, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreamers have spoken vanity: they comforted in vain: therefore they were led away as a dock: they shall be afflicted, because they have no shepherd.
3 Moj je gnjev planuo na pastire, i ja ću kaznom pohodit jarce. Da, Jahve nad Vojskama pohodit će stado svoje, dom Judin. I učinit će da budu k'o gizdav konj u boju:
My wrath is kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit upon the buck goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Juda, and hath made them as the horse of his glory in the battle.
4 od njega će poteći kamen zaglavni, klin šatorski, od njega ubojit luk, od njega sve vođe.
Out of him shall come forth the corner, out of him the pin, out of him the bow of battle, out of him every exacter together.
5 Bit će zajedno kao junaci što u boju gaze kao po blatu uličnom; vojevat će, jer Jahve je s njima, i osramotit će one koji konje jašu.
And they shall be as mighty men, treading under foot the mire of the ways in battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders of horses shall be confounded.
6 “Ojačat ću dom Judin, spasiti dom Josipov. Opet ću ih naseliti, žao mi ih, i bit će kao da ih nisam odbacio, jer ja sam Jahve, Bog njihov - uslišat ću ih.”
And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph: and I will bring them back again, because I will have mercy on them: and they shall be as they were when I had cast them off, for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.
7 Efrajimci bit će kao junaci i radostit će im se srce kao od vina: vidjet će sinove svoje i veseliti se, u Jahvi će klicati srce njihovo.
And they shall be as the valiant men of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: and their children shall see, and shall rejoice, and their heart shall be joyful in the Lord.
8 “Zazviždat ću im i sabrati ih, jer ja sam ih izbavio, bit će opet brojni kao što bjehu.
I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed them: and I will multiply them as they were multiplied before.
9 Rasijao sam ih među narode, ali će se oni u zemljama dalekim spomenuti mene, poučit će svoje sinove, i oni će se vratiti.
And I will sow them among peoples: and from afar they shall remember me: and they shall live with their children, and shall return.
10 Vratit ću ih iz zemlje egipatske, sabrat ću ih iz Asirije i dovest ih u zemlju gileadsku i na Libanon, i neće biti dosta mjesta za njih.”
And I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and will gather them from among the Assyrians: and will bring them to the land of Galaad, and Libanus, and place shall not be found for them.
11 Prijeći će more egipatsko, jer on će udariti valove morske, sve dubine Nila presahnut će. Bit će oboren ponos Asirije, oduzeto žezlo Egiptu.
And he shall pass over the strait of the sea, and shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river shall be confounded, and the pride of Assyria shall be humbled, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.
12 U Jahvi će biti snaga njihova, njegovim će se oni proslavit imenom - riječ je Jahvina.
I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name, saith the Lord.
