< Zechariah 10 >

1 Ask you of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
Rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị mmiri ozuzo nʼoge mmiri ozuzo nke ikpeazụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ezite oke amụma mmiri. Ọ bụ ya na-enye ụmụ mmadụ mmiri ozuzo, na-enyekwa mmadụ niile ihe ọkụkụ nke ubi.
2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
Arụsị niile na-ekwu okwu aghụghọ, ndị na-agba aja nʼahụ ọhụ bụ ụgha, ndị ha na-arọ nrọ, na-akọwakwa nrọ ụgha, okwu nkasiobi nke ihe na-adịghị nʼime ya ka ha na-enye. Ya mere, ndị mmadụ na-akpagharị dịka atụrụ a na-akpagbu ha nʼihi enweghị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ.
3 My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts has visited his flock the house of Judah, and has made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
“Iwe m na-ere ọkụ megide ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, aga m atakwa ndị ndu niile ahụhụ; nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-elekọta igwe anụ ụlọ ya, ya bụ ndị Juda, ọ ga-eme ka ha dịrị ka ịnyịnya dị ebube nʼagha.
4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
A ga-esi na Juda nweta nkume bụ ide ji ụlọ, a ga-esi na ha nweta ǹtu ụlọ ikwu, a ga-esi na ha nweta ụta a kwadoro maka agha, sitekwa na ha nweta ndị ndu dị iche iche.
5 And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
Ha niile ga-ejikọta onwe ha ọnụ, dịka ndị bụ dike nʼagha, ha ga-azọda ndị iro ha nʼapịtị nke okporoụzọ niile. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere ha, ha ga-alụgbukwa ndị iro niile na-agba ịnyịnya.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy on them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
“Aga m eme ka ụlọ Juda dị ike, zọpụtakwa ụlọ Josef. Aga m eme ka ha lọghachita, nʼihi na aga m egosi ha obi ebere. Ha ga-adị ka ndị m na-ajụghị mgbe ọbụla, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha, aga m azakwa arịrịọ ha.
7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yes, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
Ndị Ifrem ga-aghọ ndị dị ike nʼagha, ha ga-enwe ọṅụ dịka ndị na-aṅụ mmanya. Ụmụ ha ga-ahụ ya ṅụrịakwa ọṅụ, ha ga-ejikwa obi ha niile ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
Mgbe ahụ, aga m akpọ ha oku, chịkọtaa ha. Nʼezie, aga m agbapụta ha, ha ga-adịkwa ukwuu dịka ha dị na mbụ.
9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
A sịkwarị na m chụsara ha nʼetiti ndị dị iche iche, ma ha ga-echeta m site nʼala niile ahụ dị anya. Ha na ụmụ ha ga-adịkwa ndụ; ha ga-alọtakwa.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.
Aga m esi nʼala Ijipt kpọlata ha, sitekwa nʼAsịrịa chịkọtaa ha. Aga m akpọta ha na Gilead na Lebanọn. Ha agaghị enwekwa ebe ga-ezuru ha niile.
11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart away.
Ha ga-esi nʼosimiri nsogbu gafee. A ga-emekwa ka mmali elu nke osimiri dajụọ. Ebe obibi niile nke osimiri Naịl ga-atakọrọkwa. A ga-egbuda mpako niile nke Asịrịa, wezugakwa mkpara ọchịchị nke ndị Ijipt.
12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, says the LORD.
Aga m eme ka ha dị ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa nʼaha ya ka ha ga na-ejegharị nʼudo.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
