Zechariah 10
1 Ask the Lord for rain in springtime, for he makes the rainclouds and sends showers to grow crops for everyone.
Lūdziet lietu no Tā Kunga vēlajā lietus laikā! Tas Kungs rada zibeņus; Viņš tiem dos lietus papilnam ikkatrai zālei laukā.
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.
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 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.
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 the people of Judah will come the cornerstone, from them the tent-peg, the bow used in battle—all their rulers together.
No viņa iznāks stūra akmens, nagla, kara stops un visi valdnieki līdz.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Un Es tos ataicināšu un sapulcēšu, jo Es tos gribu izpestīt, un tie vairosies, kā tie citkārt vairojās.
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.
Un Es tos sēšu starp tautām, un tie Mani pieminēs tālās zemēs, un tie dzīvos ar saviem bērniem un atgriezīsies.
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!
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 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.
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 I will make them strong in the Lord, and they will follow all he says, declares the Lord.
Un Es tos stiprināšu iekš Tā Kunga, un tie staigās Viņa vārdā, saka Tas Kungs.
