Zechariah 10
1 Ask the LORD for rain in springtime; the LORD makes the storm clouds, and He will give everyone showers of rain and crops in the field.
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。
2 For idols speak deceit and diviners see illusions; they tell false dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore the people wander like sheep, oppressed for lack of a shepherd.
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。
3 “My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders. For the LORD of Hosts attends to His flock, the house of Judah; He will make them like His royal steed in battle.
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。
4 The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.
房角石、釘子、爭戰的弓， 和一切掌權的都從他而出。
5 They will be like mighty men in battle, trampling the enemy in the mire of the streets. They will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put the horsemen to shame.
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。
6 I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had not rejected them. For I am the LORD their God, and I will answer them.
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。
7 Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their hearts will be glad as with wine. Their children will see it and be joyful; their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.
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。
8 I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.
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。
9 Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.
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。
10 I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon until no more room is found for them.
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。
11 They will pass through the sea of distress and strike the waves of the sea; all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
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。
12 I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,”
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。
