< Zechariah 10 >

1 Aske you of the Lord raine in the time of the latter raine: so shall the Lord make white cloudes, and giue you showers of raine, and to euery one grasse in the field.
當春雨的時候, 你們要向發閃電的耶和華求雨。 他必為眾人降下甘霖, 使田園生長菜蔬。
2 Surely the idols haue spoken vanitie, and the southsayers haue seene a lye, and the dreamers haue tolde a vaine thing: they comfort in vaine: therefore they went away as sheepe: they were troubled, because there was no shepheard.
因為,家神所言的是虛空; 卜士所見的是虛假; 做夢者所說的是假夢。 他們白白地安慰人, 所以眾人如羊流離, 因無牧人就受苦。
3 My wrath was kindled against the shepherdes, and I did visite the goates: but the Lord of hostes will visite his flocke the house of Iudah, and will make them as his beautifull horse in the battell.
我的怒氣向牧人發作; 我必懲罰公山羊; 因我-萬軍之耶和華 眷顧自己的羊群,就是猶大家, 必使他們如駿馬在陣上。
4 Out of him shall the corner come foorth: out of him the nayle, out of him ye bowe of battell, and out of him euery appointer of tribute also.
房角石、釘子、爭戰的弓, 和一切掌權的都從他而出。
5 And they shalbe as the mightie men, which treade downe their enemies in the mire of the streetes in the battell, and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
他們必如勇士在陣上 將仇敵踐踏在街上的泥土中。 他們必爭戰,因為耶和華與他們同在; 騎馬的也必羞愧。
6 And I will strengthen the house of Iudah, and I will preserue the house of Ioseph, and I wil bring them againe, for I pitie them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will heare them.
我要堅固猶大家,拯救約瑟家, 要領他們歸回。 我要憐恤他們; 他們必像未曾棄絕的一樣, 都因我是耶和華-他們的上帝, 我必應允他們的禱告。
7 And they of Ephraim shall be as a gyant, and their heart shall reioyce as thorowe wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad: and their heart shall reioyce in the Lord.
以法蓮人必如勇士; 他們心中暢快如同喝酒; 他們的兒女必看見而快活; 他們的心必因耶和華喜樂。
8 I will hisse for them, and gather them: for I haue redeemed them: and they shall encrease, as they haue encreased.
我要發嘶聲,聚集他們, 因我已經救贖他們。 他們的人數必加增, 如從前加增一樣。
9 And I will sowe them among the people, and they shall remember me in farre countreys: and they shall liue with their children and turne againe.
我雖然播散他們在列國中, 他們必在遠方記念我。 他們與兒女都必存活,且得歸回。
10 I will bring them againe also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Asshur: and I will bring them into the land of Gilead, and Lebanon, and place shall not be found for them.
我必再領他們出埃及地, 招聚他們出亞述, 領他們到基列和黎巴嫩; 這地尚且不夠他們居住。
11 And he shall goe into the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waues in the sea, and all the depthes of the riuer shall drye vp: and the pride of Asshur shall be cast downe, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart away.
耶和華必經過苦海,擊打海浪, 使尼羅河的深處都枯乾。 亞述的驕傲必致卑微; 埃及的權柄必然滅沒。
12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walke in his Name, sayth the Lord.
我必使他們倚靠我,得以堅固; 一舉一動必奉我的名。 這是耶和華說的。
