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.
Pidan a Yavé la lluvia en la estación tardía. Yavé, Quien hace las nubes tormentosas, enviará relámpagos y les dará lluvias abundantes y hierba verde en el campo de cada uno.
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.
Pero los ídolos domésticos prometen en vano, los adivinos ven mentiras, anuncian sueños falsos, y su consuelo es vano. Por lo cual el pueblo vaga como ovejas afligidas, porque no hay 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.
Mi ira se encendió contra los pastores, castigaré a los machos cabríos. Yavé de las huestes visitará su rebaño, la Casa de Judá, y hará de ella su corcel real en la batalla.
4 From him [is] a cornerstone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goes forth every exactor together.
De ella saldrá la Piedra Angular, la estaca, el arco de guerra y todo caudillo.
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.
Juntos serán como valientes que en la batalla pisan el lodo de las calles. Combatirán porque Yavé estará con ellos. Los jinetes serán avergonzados.
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.
Porque Yo fortaleceré la Casa de Judá y daré la victoria a la casa de José, los haré regresar, pues tendré compasión de ellos. Serán como si no fueron desechados, porque Yo soy Yavé su ʼElohim, y los escucharé.
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.
Efraín será como un valiente, y su corazón se alegrará como con vino. Sus hijos lo mirarán y se alegrarán. Su corazón se regocijará en Yavé.
8 I hiss for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they multiplied.
Los reuniré con un silbo, porque los redimí. Serán tan numerosos como antes.
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.
Yo los sembré entre las naciones. En lejanos países se acordarán de Mí. Criarán allí a sus hijos, pero regresarán.
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.
Los devolveré de la tierra de Egipto, los reuniré desde Asiria y los traeré a la tierra de Galaad y el Líbano, hasta que no se halle sitio para ellos.
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.
Pasarán por el mar de la angustia. Él golpeará las ondas del mar, de tal modo que todas las profundidades del Nilo se secarán. La altivez de Asiria será abatida y desaparecerá el cetro de Egipto.
12 And I have made them mighty in YHWH, And in His Name they walk up and down,” A declaration of YHWH!
Yo los fortaleceré en Yavé, Palabra de Yavé, y andarán en su Nombre.
