Zaharija 10
1 Tražite od Jahve dažda u vrijeme proljetno! Jahve stvara munje i daje kišu; čovjeku kruh daje, a stoci travu.
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 Lažno bajaju kumiri, prijevaru vide gatari, obmanu govore snovi, varljivu utjehu daju, zato kao stado blude ljudi, lutaju jer nemaju pastira.
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 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 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 od njega će poteći kamen zaglavni, klin šatorski, od njega ubojit luk, od njega sve vođe.
From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler 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.
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 “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.”
“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 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.
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 “Zazviždat ću im i sabrati ih, jer ja sam ih izbavio, bit će opet brojni kao što bjehu.
I will signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were 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.
I will sow them amongst the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will 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.”
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 Prijeći će more egipatsko, jer on će udariti valove morske, sve dubine Nila presahnut će. Bit će oboren ponos Asirije, oduzeto žezlo Egiptu.
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 sceptre of Egypt will depart.
12 U Jahvi će biti snaga njihova, njegovim će se oni proslavit imenom - riječ je Jahvina.
I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
