< Zechariah 10 >
1 Ask ye of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain, even of Jehovah who makes lightnings, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone grass in the field.
Petite a Domino pluviam in tempore serotino, et Dominus faciet nives, et pluviam imbris dabit eis, singulis herbam in agro.
2 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 afflicted, because there is no shepherd.
Quia simulacra locuta sunt inutile, et divini viderunt mendacium, et somniatores locuti sunt frustra: et vane consolabantur: idcirco abducti sunt quasi grex: affligentur, quia non est eis pastor.
3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats. For Jehovah of hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his goodly horse in the battle.
Super pastores iratus est furor meus, et super hircos visitabo: quia visitavit Dominus exercituum gregem suum, domum Iuda, et posuit eos quasi equum gloriae suae in bello.
4 From him shall come forth the cornerstone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
Ex ipso angulus, ex ipso paxillus, ex ipso arcus praelii, ex ipso egredietur omnis exactor simul.
5 And they shall be as mighty men, treading down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle. And they shall fight, because Jehovah is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
Et erunt quasi fortes conculcantes lutum viarum in praelio: et bellabunt, quia Dominus cum eis: et confundentur ascensores equorum.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back. For I have mercy upon them, and they shall be as though I had not cast them off. For I am Jehovah their God, and I will hear them.
Et confortabo domum Iuda, et domum Ioseph salvabo: et convertam eos, quia miserebor eorum: et erunt sicut fuerunt quando non proieceram eos: ego enim Dominus Deus eorum, et exaudiam eos.
7 And Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine. Yea, their sons shall see it, and rejoice. Their heart shall be glad in Jehovah.
Et erunt quasi fortes Ephraim, et laetabitur cor eorum quasi a vino: et filii eorum videbunt, et laetabuntur, et exultabit cor eorum in Domino.
8 I will whistle for them, and gather them. For I have redeemed them, and they shall increase as they have increased.
Sibilabo eis, et congregabo illos, quia redemi eos: et multiplicabo eos sicut ante fuerant multiplicati.
9 And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember me in far countries. And they shall live with their sons, and shall return.
Et seminabo eos in populis, et de longe recordabuntur mei: et vivent cum filiis suis, et revertentur.
10 I will also bring them again out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria. And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, and until space shall not be found for them.
Et reducam eos de Terra Aegypti, et de Assyriis congregabo eos, et ad Terram Galaad et Libani adducam eos, et non invenietur eis locus:
11 And he will pass through the sea of affliction, and will smite the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up. And the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart.
et transibit in maris freto, et percutiet in mari fluctus, et confundentur omnia profunda fluminis, et humiliabitur superbia Assur, et sceptrum Aegypti recedet.
12 And I will strengthen them in Jehovah, and they shall walk up and down in his name, says Jehovah.
Confortabo eos in Domino, et in nomine eius ambulabunt, dicit Dominus.
