Zechariah 10

1 Ask of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain; Jehovah will make lightnings, and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

١ اطْلُبُوا مِنَ الرَّبِّ الْمَطَرَ فِي مَوْسِمِ الرَّبِيعِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ الَّذِي يَسْتَجِيبُ بِبُرُوقٍ، وَيَسْكُبُ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَابِلاً هَطَّالاً، وَيَرْزُقُ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ عُشْباً فِي الْحَقْلِ.

2 For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams: they comfort in vain. Therefore they have gone away as a flock, they are in distress, because there is no shepherd.

٢ أَمَّا الأَوْثَانُ فَإِنَّهَا تَنْطِقُ بِالْبَاطِلِ، وَيَرَى الْعَرَّافُونَ رُؤىً كَاذِبَةً، وَيُنْبِئُونَ بِأَحْلامِ زُورٍ. وَعَبَثاً يُعَزُّونَ. لِذَلِكَ شَرَدَ النَّاسُ كَغَنَمٍ، وَقَاسُوا مَشَقَّةً لاِفْتِقَارِهِمْ إِلَى رَاعٍ.

3 Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for Jehovah of hosts visiteth his flock, the house of Judah, and maketh them as his majestic horse in the battle.

٣ إِنَّ غَضَبِي مُحْتَدِمٌ عَلَى الرُّعَاةِ، وَسَأُعَاقِبُ الرُّؤَسَاءَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يَعْتَنِي بِقَطِيعِهِ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا، وَيَجْعَلُهُمْ كَفَرَسِ الْمَزْهُوِّ فِي الْقِتَالِ.

4 From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor together.

٤ مِنْهُمْ يَخْرُجُ حَجَرُ الزَّاوِيَةِ وَالْوَتَدُ وَقَوْسُ الْقِتَالِ وَكُلُّ حَاكِمٍ مُتَسَلِّطٍ.

5 And they shall be as mighty men, treading down the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, for Jehovah is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

٥ وَيَدُوسُونَ الأَعْدَاءَ مَعاً كَمَا يَدُوسُ الْجَبَابِرَةُ الطِّينَ فِي الشَّوَارِعِ، وَيُحَارِبُونَ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَهُمْ فَيُلْحِقُونَ الْعَارَ بِفُرْسَانِ الأَعْدَاءِ.

6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back again; for I will have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God, and I will answer them.

٦ إِنِّي أُشَدِّدُ شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا وَأُخَلِّصُ ذُرِّيَّةَ يُوسُفَ وَأَرُدُّهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِهِمْ لأَنِّي أَكُنُّ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَةَ، فَيَكُونُونَ كَأَنِّي لَمْ أَنبِذْهُمْ لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ فَأَسْتَجِيبُهُمْ.

7 And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their hearts shall rejoice as through wine; and their children shall see [it], and rejoice; their heart shall be joyful in Jehovah.

٧ ويُصْبِحُ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَجَبَابِرَةِ الْحَرْبِ، وَتَنْتَشِي قُلُوبُهُمْ كَمَنْ شَرِبَ خَمْرَةً، وَيَشْهَدُ أَبْنَاؤُهُمْ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَتَبْتَهِجُ نُفُوسُهُمْ بِالرَّبِّ.

8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall multiply as they used to multiply.

٨ أُصْدِرُ إِشَارَتِي لَهُمْ فَأَجْمَعُ شَتَاتَهُمْ، لأَنِّي افْتَدَيْتُهُمْ، وَيَكْثُرُونَ كَمَا فِي الْحِقَبِ الأُولَى.

9 And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children and return.

٩ مَعَ أَنِّي بَدَّدْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَظَلُّونَ يَذْكُرُونَنِي فِي الْمَنَافِي الْبَعِيدَةِ، وَيَحْيَوْنَ مَعَ أَوْلادِهِمْ وَيَرْجِعُونَ.

10 And I will bring them again out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for them.

١٠ سَأَرُدُّهُمْ إِلَى مَوْطِنِهِمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَأَجْمَعُ شَتَاتَهُمْ مِنْ أَشُّورَ، وَآتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ وَلُبْنَانَ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مُتَّسَعٌ لَهُمْ بَعْدُ.

11 And he shall pass through the sea of affliction, and shall smite the billows in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

١١ يَجْتَازُونَ عَبْرَ بَحْرِ الْمَشَقَّاتِ، فَتَنْحَسِرُ الأَمْوَاجُ وَتَجُفُّ لُجَجُ النِّيلِ. تَذِلُّ كِبْرِيَاءُ أَشُّورَ وَيَزُولُ صَوْلَجَانُ مِصْرَ.

12 And I will strengthen them in Jehovah; and they shall walk in his name, saith Jehovah.

١٢ وَأُشَدِّدُهُمْ بِالرَّبِّ فَيَسْلُكُونَ بِمُقْتَضَى اسْمِهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.
