Zechariah 10
1 Ask the Lord for rain in springtime, for he makes the rainclouds and sends showers to grow crops for everyone.
Agdawatkayo iti tudo kenni Yahweh iti panawen iti panagrurusing—ni Yahweh a mangar-aramid kadagiti bagio! —ket mangipaayto isuna iti tudo kadakuada, ken kadagiti mula kadagiti talon nga agpaay iti sangkataoan.
2 Household idols give worthless answers, fortune-tellers tell lies, while interpreters of dreams just make things up and offer only false hope. As a result, people wander aimlessly like sheep, suffering because there is no shepherd.
Ta saan a pudno ti ibagbaga dagiti didiosen; agipadpadto iti ulbod dagiti mammadto; agipatpatarusda kadagiti manangallilaw a tagtagainep ken ubbaw ti panangliwliwada, isu a maiyaw-awanda a kas iti karnero ken agsagabada gapu ta awan ti agpaspastor.
3 I am angry with the shepherds, I will punish the leaders. For the Lord Almighty cares for his flock, the people of Judah, and will make them like his splendid warhorse.
Ti pungtotko kadagiti agpaspastor ket kasla apuy a sumsumged; daytoy dagiti kalakian a kalding—dagiti mangingidaulo—a dusaekto; aywananto ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti arbanna, dagiti tattao ti Juda, ket pagbalinennanto ida a kasla nabileg a kabalio iti gubatan!
4 From the people of Judah will come the cornerstone, from them the tent-peg, the bow used in battle—all their rulers together.
Tumaudto kadakuada ti pasuli a bato; tumaudto kadakuada ti pasok ti tolda; tumaudto kadakuada ti bai a pakigubat; tumaudto kadakuada dagiti amin a mangingidaulo.
5 They will be like warriors going into battle, trampling their enemies in the mud. Because the Lord is with them they will fight and defeat the enemy cavalry.
Kasladanto kadagiti mannakigubat a mangibaddebaddek kadagiti kabusorda iti pitak dagiti kalsada iti gubatan; makigubatdanto, gapu ta adda kadakuada ni Yahweh, ket parmekendanto dagiti nakasakay kadagiti kabalio a pakigubat.
6 I will strengthen the people of Judah; I will save the people of Joseph. I will bring them back home because I am concerned for them. It will be like I had never rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and I will answer their cries for help.
Papigsaekto ti balay ti Juda ken isalakankonto ti balay ni Jose; ta isublik manen ida ken kaasiak ida. Kaslanto saanko ida a linaksid, ta Siak ni Yahweh a Diosda, ket sumungbatakto kadakuada.
7 The people of Ephraim will become like warriors, and they will become so happy—as if they had drunk wine. Their children will see what is happening and will be glad too, joyful in the Lord.
Ket maiyarigto ti Efraim iti mannakigubat, ket agrag-onto dagiti pusoda a kasla nakainumda iti arak; makitanto dagiti annakda ket agrag-oda. Agrag-onto dagiti pusoda gapu kaniak!
8 I will whistle to them and they will run to me. I will rescue them, and there will be as many as there were before.
Paswitakto ida ket ummongek ida, gapu ta ispalekto ida, ket paaduekto ida a kas iti sigud a kaaduda!
9 I have scattered them like seed among the nations, and in distant places they will remember me. They will bring up their children, and together they will return.
Inwarasko ida kadagiti tattao ngem malagipdakto kadagiti adayo a pagilian, isu nga agbiag ken agsublidanto agraman dagiti annakda.
10 I will bring them back from the land of Egypt; I will gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon, and there won't be enough room for them!
Gapu ta alaekto ida iti daga ti Egipto ket ummongek ida manipud iti Asiria. Ipankonto ida iti daga ti Galaad ken Libano agingga nga awanen ti pagnaedanda sadiay.
11 They will pass through the sea of trouble and strike the waves of the sea, and the waters of the Nile will dry up. Assyria's pride will be brought down, and Egypt's rule will pass away.
Kuyogekto ida iti baybay ti rigrigatda; ablatakto dagiti dalluyon iti dayta a baybay ket pagmagaekto ti lansad ti Karayan Nilo. Maipababanto ti kinadayag ti Asiria, ket mapukawto ti setro ti Egipto manipud kadagiti Egipcio.
12 I will make them strong in the Lord, and they will follow all he says, declares the Lord.
Papigsaekto ida, ket agbiagdanto babaen iti naganko.” Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
