< 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.
Agdawatkayo iti tudo kenni Yahweh iti panawen iti panagrurusing—ni Yahweh a mangar-aramid kadagiti bagio! —ket mangipaayto isuna iti tudo kadakuada, ken kadagiti mula kadagiti talon nga agpaay iti sangkataoan.
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.
Ta saan a pudno ti ibagbaga dagiti didiosen; agipadpadto iti ulbod dagiti mammadto; agipatpatarusda kadagiti manangallilaw a tagtagainep ken ubbaw ti panangliwliwada, isu a maiyaw-awanda a kas iti karnero ken agsagabada gapu ta awan ti agpaspastor.
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.
Ti pungtotko kadagiti agpaspastor ket kasla apuy a sumsumged; daytoy dagiti kalakian a kalding—dagiti mangingidaulo—a dusaekto; aywananto ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti arbanna, dagiti tattao ti Juda, ket pagbalinennanto ida a kasla nabileg a kabalio iti gubatan!
4 The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.
Tumaudto kadakuada ti pasuli a bato; tumaudto kadakuada ti pasok ti tolda; tumaudto kadakuada ti bai a pakigubat; tumaudto kadakuada dagiti amin a mangingidaulo.
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.
Kasladanto kadagiti mannakigubat a mangibaddebaddek kadagiti kabusorda iti pitak dagiti kalsada iti gubatan; makigubatdanto, gapu ta adda kadakuada ni Yahweh, ket parmekendanto dagiti nakasakay kadagiti kabalio a pakigubat.
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.
Papigsaekto ti balay ti Juda ken isalakankonto ti balay ni Jose; ta isublik manen ida ken kaasiak ida. Kaslanto saanko ida a linaksid, ta Siak ni Yahweh a Diosda, ket sumungbatakto kadakuada.
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.
Ket maiyarigto ti Efraim iti mannakigubat, ket agrag-onto dagiti pusoda a kasla nakainumda iti arak; makitanto dagiti annakda ket agrag-oda. Agrag-onto dagiti pusoda gapu kaniak!
8 I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.
Paswitakto ida ket ummongek ida, gapu ta ispalekto ida, ket paaduekto ida a kas iti sigud a kaaduda!
9 Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.
Inwarasko ida kadagiti tattao ngem malagipdakto kadagiti adayo a pagilian, isu nga agbiag ken agsublidanto agraman dagiti annakda.
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.
Gapu ta alaekto ida iti daga ti Egipto ket ummongek ida manipud iti Asiria. Ipankonto ida iti daga ti Galaad ken Libano agingga nga awanen ti pagnaedanda sadiay.
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.
Kuyogekto ida iti baybay ti rigrigatda; ablatakto dagiti dalluyon iti dayta a baybay ket pagmagaekto ti lansad ti Karayan Nilo. Maipababanto ti kinadayag ti Asiria, ket mapukawto ti setro ti Egipto manipud kadagiti Egipcio.
12 I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,”
Papigsaekto ida, ket agbiagdanto babaen iti naganko.” Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
