< Zechariah 10 >
1 Make your request to the Lord for rain in the time of the spring rains, even to the Lord who makes the thunder-flames; and he will give them showers of rain, to every man grass in the field.
Lūdziet lietu no Tā Kunga vēlajā lietus laikā! Tas Kungs rada zibeņus; Viņš tiem dos lietus papilnam ikkatrai zālei laukā.
2 For the images have said what is not true, and the readers of signs have seen deceit; they have given accounts of false dreams, they give comfort to no purpose: so they go out of the way like sheep, they are troubled because they have no keeper.
Jo dievekļi runā nelietību, un zīlnieki rauga viltību un runā melu sapņus un iepriecina ar niekiem. Tādēļ tie maldās kā avis, tie ir nospaidīti, jo tur nav gana.
3 My wrath is burning against the keepers of the flock, and I will send punishment on the he-goats: for the Lord of armies takes care of his flock, the people of Judah, and will make them like the horse of his pride in the fight.
Pret tiem ganiem Mana bardzība iedegusies, un tos āžus Es piemeklēšu. Jo Tas Kungs Cebaot piemeklē Savu ganāmo pulku, Jūda namu, un to ieceļ Sev par goda zirgu karā.
4 From him will come the keystone, from him the nail, from him the bow of war, from him will come every ruler;
No viņa iznāks stūra akmens, nagla, kara stops un visi valdnieki līdz.
5 Together they will be like men of war, crushing down their haters into the earth of the streets in the fight; they will make war because the Lord is with them: and the horsemen will be shamed.
Un tie būs kā varoņi, kas kaušanā samin ielas dubļus, un tie kausies, jo Tas Kungs būs ar viņiem, un tie liks kaunā zirgu jājējus.
6 And I will make the children of Judah strong, and I will be the saviour of the children of Joseph, and I will make them come back again, for I have had mercy on them: they will be as if I had not given them up: for I am the Lord their God and I will give them an answer.
Un Es stiprināšu Jūda namu un atpestīšu Jāzepa namu, un Es tos atkal iestādīšu, jo Es par tiem esmu apžēlojies, un tie būs, tā kā Es tos nebūtu atmetis, jo Es esmu Tas Kungs, viņu Dievs, un tos paklausīšu.
7 And Ephraim will be like a man of war, and their hearts will be glad as with wine; and their children will see it with joy; their hearts will be glad in the Lord.
Un Efraīms būs kā varonis un viņa sirds priecāsies kā no vīna. Un viņa bērni to redzēdami līksmosies, viņu sirds priecāsies iekš Tā Kunga.
8 With the sound of the pipe I will get them together; for I have given the price to make them free: and they will be increased as they were increased.
Un Es tos ataicināšu un sapulcēšu, jo Es tos gribu izpestīt, un tie vairosies, kā tie citkārt vairojās.
9 Though I had them planted among the peoples, they will keep me in mind in far countries: and they will take care of their children and will come back.
Un Es tos sēšu starp tautām, un tie Mani pieminēs tālās zemēs, un tie dzīvos ar saviem bērniem un atgriezīsies.
10 And I will make them come back out of the land of Egypt, and will get them together out of Assyria; and I will take them into the land of Gilead, and it will not be wide enough for them.
Un Es tos atvedīšu no Ēģiptes zemes un tos sapulcināšu no Asīrijas un tos vedīšu uz Gileāda zemi un Tībanu, ka viņam nepietiks vietas.
11 And they will go through the sea of Egypt, and all the deep waters of the Nile will become dry: and the pride of Assyria will be made low, and the power of Egypt will be taken away.
Un viņš iet caur bēdu jūru un sit viļņus jūrā, un visi upes dziļumi izsīks; tad Asura lepnība taps nogāzta, un Ēģiptes scepteris zudīs.
12 And their strength will be in the Lord; and their pride will be in his name, says the Lord.
Un Es tos stiprināšu iekš Tā Kunga, un tie staigās Viņa vārdā, saka Tas Kungs.
