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.
Zahtevajte od Gospoda dež v času poznejšega dežja. Tako bo Gospod naredil svetle oblake in jim dal nalive dežja, vsaki travi na polju.
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.
Kajti maliki so govorili ničevost, vedeževalci so videli laž in povedali napačne sanje. Zaman tolažijo. Zatorej so odšli po svoji poti kakor trop, zaskrbljeni so bili, ker ni bilo pastirja.
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.
Moja jeza je bila vžgana zoper pastirje in kaznoval sem kozle, kajti Gospod nad bojevniki je obiskal svoj trop, Judovo hišo in jih naredil kakor odličnega konja v bitki.
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.
Iz njega bo prišel vogal, iz njega klin, iz njega bojni lok, iz njega tudi vsak zatiralec.
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.
Oni bodo kakor mogočni ljudje, ki v bitki pomendrajo svoje sovražnike v uličnem blatu in borili se bodo, ker je Gospod z njimi in jezdeci na konjih bodo zbegani.
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.
Okrepil bom Judovo hišo in rešil Jožefovo hišo in ponovno jih bom privedel, da jih namestim, kajti usmiljenje imam nad njimi in oni bodo, kakor jih ne bi zavrgel, kajti jaz sem Gospod, njihov Bog in uslišal jih bom.
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.
Tisti iz Efrájima bodo podobni mogočnemu človeku in njihovo srce se bo veselilo kakor zaradi vina. Da, njihovi otroci bodo to videli in bodo veseli; njihovo srce se bo veselilo v Gospodu.
8 I will hisse for them, and gather them: for I haue redeemed them: and they shall encrease, as they haue encreased.
»Požvižgal jim bom in jih zbral, ker sem jih odkupil in narasli bodo, kakor so oni narasli.
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.
Sejal jih bom med ljudstvom in spomnili se me bodo v daljnih deželah in živeli bodo s svojimi otroki in se ponovno vrnili.
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.
Ponovno jih bom privedel tudi iz egiptovske dežele in jih zbral iz Asirije. Privedel jih bom v deželo Gileád in Libanon in ne bo najti prostora zanje.
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.
S stisko bo prešel skozi morje in udaril bo valove v morju in vse globine reke se bodo posušile. Ponos Asirije bo ponižan in egiptovsko žezlo bo odšlo proč.
12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walke in his Name, sayth the Lord.
Okrepil jih bom v Gospodu in hodili bodo gor in dol v njegovem imenu, « govori Gospod.
