< Zechariah 10 >
1 They asked of YHWH rain In a time of spring rain, YHWH is making lightnings, And He gives to them rain [in] showers. To each—the herb in the field.
Pedi ao Senhor chuva no tempo da serodia: o Senhor faz relâmpagos, e lhes dará chuveiro de água, e erva no campo a cada um.
2 Because the teraphim spoke iniquity, And the diviners have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak, [With] vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed as a flock, They are afflicted, for there is no shepherd.
Porque os teraphins tem falado vaidade, e os adivinhos tem visto mentira, e falam sonhos vãos; com vaidade consolam, por isso se foram como ovelhas, foram aflitos, porque não havia pastor.
3 “My anger burned against the shepherds, And I lay a charge against the male goats, For YHWH of Hosts has inspected His flock, the house of Judah, And set them as His splendid horse in battle.
Contra os pastores se acendeu a minha ira, e visitarei os bodes; mas o Senhor dos exércitos visitará o seu rebanho, a casa de Judá, e os fará ser como o cavalo da sua magestade na peleja.
4 From him [is] a cornerstone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goes forth every exactor together.
Dele a pedra de esquina, dele a estaca, dele o arco de guerra, dele juntamente sairão todos os exatores.
5 And they have been as heroes, Treading in mire of out-places in battle, And they have fought, for YHWH [is] with them, And have put to shame riders of horses.
E serão como valentes que pelo lodo das ruas entram na peleja, e pelejarão; porque o Senhor estará com eles, e envergonharão aos que andam montados em cavalos.
6 And I have made the house of Judah mighty, And I save the house of Joseph, And I have caused them to dwell, for I have loved them, And they have been as [if] I had not cast them off, For I [am] their God YHWH, And I answer them.
E fortalecerei a casa de Judá, e salvarei a casa de José, e tornarei a planta-los, porque me apiedei deles: e serão como se os não tivera rejeitado; porque eu sou o Senhor seu Deus, e os ouvirei.
7 And Ephraim has been as a hero, And their heart has rejoiced as wine, And their sons see, and they have rejoiced, Their heart rejoices in YHWH.
E os de Ephraim serão como um valente, e o seu coração se alegrará como de vinho, e seus filhos o verão, e se alegrarão; o seu coração se regozijará no Senhor.
8 I hiss for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they multiplied.
Eu lhes assobiarei, e os ajuntarei, porque eu os tenho remido, e multiplicar-se-ão, assim como antes se tinham multiplicado.
9 And I sow them among peoples, And in far-off places they remember Me, And they have lived with their sons, And they have turned back.
E eu os semearei por entre os povos, e lembrar-se-ão de mim em lugares remotos; e viverão com seus filhos, e voltarão.
10 And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And I gather them from Asshur, And I bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, And [space] is not found for them there.
Porque eu os farei voltar da terra do Egito, e os congregarei da Assyria; e tra-los-ei à terra de Gilead e do líbano, e não se achará lugar para eles.
11 And He has passed over through the sea, And has pressed and struck billows in the sea, And all depths of a flood have been dried up, And the excellence of Asshur has been brought down, And the rod of Egypt turns aside.
E ele passará o mar com angústia, e ferirá as ondas no mar, e todas as profundezas dos rios se secarão: então será derribada a soberba da Assyria, e o cetro do Egito se retirará.
12 And I have made them mighty in YHWH, And in His Name they walk up and down,” A declaration of YHWH!
E eu os fortalecerei no Senhor, e andarão no seu nome, diz o Senhor.
