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.
Yeroo bokkaa isa booddeetti akka inni bokkaa isiniif kennuuf Waaqayyoon kadhadhaa; bakakkaa kan ergu Waaqayyoo dha. Inni bokkaa lolaʼu nama hundaaf, biqiltuu dirree immoo tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif ni kenna.
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.
Waaqonni tolfamoon gowwoomsaa dubbatu; raajonni mulʼata sobaa argu; isaan abjuu sobaa namatti himu; waan faayidaa hin qabneen nama jajjabeessu. Kanaafuu sabni kun akkuma hoolaa tiksee hin qabnee hacuucamee asii fi achi joora.
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.
“Aariin koo tiksootatti bobaʼeera; ani reʼoota nan adaba; Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu bushaayee isaa, mana Yihuudaa ni toʼata; lola keessattis akka farda jabaa isaan taasisa.
4 The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.
Yihuudaa keessaa dhagaan golee, isa keessaa qofoon dunkaanaa, isa keessaa iddaan lolaa, isa keessaa bulchaan hundi ni dhufa.
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.
Isaan akkuma namoota jajjaboo waraana keessatti tokkummaadhaan daandii dhoqqee irra deemu. Sababii Waaqayyo isaan wajjin jiruuf isaan lolanii abbootii fardeenii qaanessu.
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.
“Ani mana Yihuudaa nan jajjabeessa; mana Yoosefis nan oolcha. Ani waanan garaa isaaniif laafuuf deebisee isaan nan dhaaba. Isaan akkuma waan ani duraanuu isaan hin gatinii taʼu; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii ti; deebiis isaaniif nan kenna.
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.
Efreemonni akkuma namoota jajjaboo taʼu; garaan isaaniis akkuma nama daadhii wayiniitiin gammaduu ni gammada. Ijoolleen isaanii waan kana arganii ni gammadu; garaan isaanii Waaqayyootti ni gammada.
8 I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.
Ani siiqsee walitti isaan nan qaba. Ani dhugumaan isaan nan fura; isaan akkuma duraa sana ni baayʼatu.
9 Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.
Yoo ani saboota gidduutti isaan bittinneesse iyyuu isaan biyya fagootti na yaadatu. Isaanii fi ijoolleen isaanii lubbuudhaan ni jiraatu; ni deebiʼus.
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.
Ani biyya Gibxiitii deebisee isaan nan fida; Asoor keessaas walittin isaan qaba. Ani gara Giliʼaadii fi Libaanoonitti isaan nan fida; iddoon isaan gaʼus hin argamu.
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.
Inni galaana rakkinaa keessa darba; dhaʼaa galaanaas ni rukuta; tuujubawwan Abbayyaa hundinuu ni gogu. Of tuulummaan Asoor gad deebiʼa; bokkuun mootummaa Gibxis ni bada.
12 I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,”
Ani Waaqayyoon isaan nan jabeessa; isaanis maqaa isaatiin deddeebiʼu” jedha Waaqayyo.
