< 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.
汝ら春の雨の時に雨をヱホバに乞へヱホバは電光を造り大雨を人々に賜ひ田野において草蔬を各々に賜ふべし
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.
夫テラピムは空虚き事を言ひ卜筮師はその見る所眞實ならずして虚僞の夢を語る其慰むる所は徒然なり是をもて民は羊のごとくに迷ひ牧者なきに因て惱む
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.
我牧者にむかひて怒を發す我牡山羊を罰せん萬軍のヱホバその群なるユダの家を顧み之をしてその美しき軍馬のごとくならしめたまふ
4 The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.
隅石彼より出で釘かれより出で軍弓かれより出で宰たる者みな齊く彼より出ん
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.
彼等戰ふ時は勇士のごとくにして街衢の泥の中に敵を蹂躙らんヱホバかれらとともに在せば彼ら戰はん馬に騎れる者等すなはち媿を抱くべし
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.
我ユダの家を強くしヨセフの家を救はん我かれらを恤むが故に彼らをして歸り住しめん彼らは我に棄られし事なきが如くなるべし我は彼らの神ヱホバなり我かれらに聽べし
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.
エフライム人は勇士に等しくして酒を飮たるごとく心に歡ばん其子等は見て喜びヱホバに因て心に樂しまん
8 I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.
我かれらに向ひて嘯きて之を集めん其は我これを贖ひたればなり彼等は昔殖増たる如くに殖増ん
9 Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.
我かれらを國々の民の中に捲ん彼等は遠き國において我をおぼへん彼らは其子等とともに生ながらへて歸り來るべし
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.
我かれらをエジプトの國より携へかへりアッスリヤより彼等を集めギレアデの地およびレバノンに彼らを携へゆかんその居處も無きほどなるべし
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.
彼艱難の海を通り海の浪を撃破りたまふナイルの淵は盡く涸るアッスリヤの傲慢は卑くせられエジプトの杖は移り去ん
12 I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,”
我彼らをしてヱホバに由て強くならしめん彼等はヱホバの名をもて歩まんヱホバこれを言たまふ
