< 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.
Pedi ao Senhor chuva no tempo da serodia: o Senhor faz relampagos, e lhes dará chuveiro de agua, e herva no campo a cada um.
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.
Porque os teraphins teem fallado vaidade, e os adivinhos teem visto mentira, e fallam sonhos vãos; com vaidade consolam, por isso se foram como ovelhas, foram afflictos, porque não havia 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.
Contra os pastores se accendeu a minha ira, e visitarei os bodes; mas o Senhor dos Exercitos visitará o seu rebanho, a casa de Judah, e os fará ser como o cavallo da sua magestade na peleja.
4 From him shall come forth the cornerstone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
D'elle a pedra de esquina, d'elle a estaca, d'elle o arco de guerra, d'elle juntamente sairão todos os exactores.
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.
E serão como valentes que pelo lodo das ruas entram na peleja, e pelejarão; porque o Senhor estará com elles, e envergonharão aos que andam montados em cavallos.
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.
E fortalecerei a casa de Judah, e salvarei a casa de José, e tornarei a plantal-os, porque me apiedei d'elles: e serão como se os não tivera rejeitado; porque eu sou o Senhor seu Deus, e os ouvirei.
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.
E os de Ephraim serão como um valente, e o seu coração se alegrará como de vinho, e seus filhos o verão, e se alegrarão; o seu coração se regozijará no Senhor.
8 I will whistle for them, and gather them. For I have redeemed them, and they shall increase as they have increased.
Eu lhes assobiarei, e os ajuntarei, porque eu os tenho remido, e multiplicar-se-hão, assim como antes se tinham multiplicado.
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.
E eu os semearei por entre os povos, e lembrar-se-hão de mim em logares remotos; e viverão com seus filhos, e voltarão.
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.
Porque eu os farei voltar da terra do Egypto, e os congregarei da Assyria; e tral-os-hei á terra de Gilead e do Libano, e não se achará logar para elles.
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.
E elle passará o mar com angustia, e ferirá as ondas no mar, e todas as profundezas dos rios se seccarão: então será derribada a soberba da Assyria, e o sceptro do Egypto se retirará.
12 And I will strengthen them in Jehovah, and they shall walk up and down in his name, says Jehovah.
E eu os fortalecerei no Senhor, e andarão no seu nome, diz o Senhor.
