< 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.
当春雨的时候, 你们要向发闪电的耶和华求雨。 他必为众人降下甘霖, 使田园生长菜蔬。
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.
因为,家神所言的是虚空; 卜士所见的是虚假; 做梦者所说的是假梦。 他们白白地安慰人, 所以众人如羊流离, 因无牧人就受苦。
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.
我的怒气向牧人发作; 我必惩罚公山羊; 因我—万军之耶和华 眷顾自己的羊群,就是犹大家, 必使他们如骏马在阵上。
4 From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor together.
房角石、钉子、争战的弓, 和一切掌权的都从他而出。
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.
他们必如勇士在阵上 将仇敌践踏在街上的泥土中。 他们必争战,因为耶和华与他们同在; 骑马的也必羞愧。
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.
我要坚固犹大家,拯救约瑟家, 要领他们归回。 我要怜恤他们; 他们必像未曾弃绝的一样, 都因我是耶和华—他们的 神, 我必应允他们的祷告。
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.
以法莲人必如勇士; 他们心中畅快如同喝酒; 他们的儿女必看见而快活; 他们的心必因耶和华喜乐。
8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall multiply as they used to multiply.
我要发嘶声,聚集他们, 因我已经救赎他们。 他们的人数必加增, 如从前加增一样。
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.
我虽然播散他们在列国中, 他们必在远方记念我。 他们与儿女都必存活,且得归回。
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.
我必再领他们出埃及地, 招聚他们出亚述, 领他们到基列和黎巴嫩; 这地尚且不够他们居住。
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.
耶和华必经过苦海,击打海浪, 使尼罗河的深处都枯干。 亚述的骄傲必致卑微; 埃及的权柄必然灭没。
12 And I will strengthen them in Jehovah; and they shall walk in his name, saith Jehovah.
我必使他们倚靠我,得以坚固; 一举一动必奉我的名。 这是耶和华说的。
