< 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.
Mou kole ʻae ʻuha meia Sihova, ʻI he māhina ʻoe ʻuha mui; pea pehē, ʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuhila, mo ne foaki ʻae ʻuha lahi kiate kinautolu, ki he tangata taki taha ʻae mohuku ʻi he ngoue.
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.
He ko e vaʻinga ʻae lea ʻae ngaahi tamapua, pea kuo mamata ʻae kau kikite ki he loi, pea kuo nau fakamatala ʻae ngaahi misi loi; ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻenau fakafiemālie: ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu hē ʻo hangē ha fanga manu, naʻa nau puputuʻu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ha tauhi.
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.
Naʻe tafutafu ʻeku houhau ki he kau tauhi, pea naʻaku tautea ʻae fanga kosi: he kuo ʻaʻahi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakinautolu, ʻoku ne tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Siuta, pea kuo ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu, ke hangē ko ha hoosi lelei ki he tau.
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.
Naʻe meiate ia ʻae maka-tuliki, naʻe meiate ia ʻae faʻo, naʻe meiate ia ʻae kaufana ki he tau, pea ʻe haʻu fakataha meiate ia ʻae pule kotoa pē.
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.
Pea te nau hangē ko e kau tangata mālohi, ʻoku malamalaki hifo [honau fili ]ʻi he pelepela ʻoe ngaahi hala, ʻoka fai ʻae tau: pea te nau tau, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova, pea te nau fakamaaʻi ʻae kau heka hoosi.
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.
“Pea te u tokoni mālohi ʻae fale ʻo Siuta, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻae fale ʻo Siosefa, pea te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu, mo toe fakanofo ʻakinautolu; koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate kinautolu: pea te nau hangē naʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki ʻakinautolu: he ko au, ko Sihova, ko honau ʻOtua, pea te u fanongo kiate kinautolu.
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.
Pea ʻe tatau ʻakinautolu ʻi ʻIfalemi, mo ha taha mālohi, pea ʻe fiefia honau loto ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa ʻi he uaine; ʻio, ʻe mamata ki ai ʻenau fānau pea nau fiefia: ʻe nekeneka honau loto ʻia Sihova.
8 I will hisse for them, and gather them: for I haue redeemed them: and they shall encrease, as they haue encreased.
Te u fakaʻiseʻisa koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, pea u tānaki ʻakinautolu; he kuo u huhuʻi ʻakinautolu, pea te nau tupu ʻo hangē ko ʻenau faʻa tupu.
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.
Pea te u tūtuuʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai; pea te nau manatuʻi au, ʻi he ngaahi fonua mamaʻo; pea ʻe moʻui ʻakinautolu, pea mo ʻenau fānau, pea ʻe toe tafoki mai.
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.
Te u toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu foki mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mo tānaki ʻakinautolu mei ʻAsilia; pea te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ko Kiliati, mo Lepanoni, pea ʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe maʻu ke nau hao ai.
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.
Pea ʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi tahi ʻi he mamahi, pea ʻe taaʻi ʻae ngaahi peau ʻoe tahi, pea ʻe fakamōmoa ʻae ngaahi loloto ʻoe vaitafe: pea ʻe fakahifo ki lalo ʻae fielahi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea ʻe mole atu ʻae tokotoko ʻoe pule mei ʻIsipite.
12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walke in his Name, sayth the Lord.
Pea te u fakamālohi ʻakinautolu ʻia Sihova; pea te nau feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi hono huafa,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
