Zechariah 10
1 Ask of the LORD rain in the spring time, The LORD who makes lightnings, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants 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 For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because 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 is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats; For the LORD of hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the 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 will come forth the cornerstone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
De ella saldrá la Piedra Angular, la estaca, el arco de guerra y todo caudillo.
5 They shall be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them; and the riders on horses will be confounded.
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 "I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy on them; and they will be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear 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 Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine; yes, their children will see it, and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in the LORD.
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 will signal for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they will increase as they have increased.
Los reuniré con un silbo, porque los redimí. Serán tan numerosos como antes.
9 I will sow them among the peoples; and they will remember me in far countries; and they will live with their children, and will return.
Yo los sembré entre las naciones. En lejanos países se acordarán de Mí. Criarán allí a sus hijos, pero regresarán.
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 there won't be room enough for them.
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 He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
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 I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they will walk up and down in his name," says the LORD.
Yo los fortaleceré en Yavé, Palabra de Yavé, y andarán en su Nombre.
