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.
Zahtevajte od Gospoda dež v času poznejšega dežja. Tako bo Gospod naredil svetle oblake in jim dal nalive dežja, vsaki travi na polju.
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.
Kajti maliki so govorili ničevost, vedeževalci so videli laž in povedali napačne sanje. Zaman tolažijo. Zatorej so odšli po svoji poti kakor trop, zaskrbljeni so bili, ker ni bilo pastirja.
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.
Moja jeza je bila vžgana zoper pastirje in kaznoval sem kozle, kajti Gospod nad bojevniki je obiskal svoj trop, Judovo hišo in jih naredil kakor odličnega konja v bitki.
4 From him will come forth the cornerstone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
Iz njega bo prišel vogal, iz njega klin, iz njega bojni lok, iz njega tudi vsak zatiralec.
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.
Oni bodo kakor mogočni ljudje, ki v bitki pomendrajo svoje sovražnike v uličnem blatu in borili se bodo, ker je Gospod z njimi in jezdeci na konjih bodo zbegani.
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.
Okrepil bom Judovo hišo in rešil Jožefovo hišo in ponovno jih bom privedel, da jih namestim, kajti usmiljenje imam nad njimi in oni bodo, kakor jih ne bi zavrgel, kajti jaz sem Gospod, njihov Bog in uslišal jih bom.
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.
Tisti iz Efrájima bodo podobni mogočnemu človeku in njihovo srce se bo veselilo kakor zaradi vina. Da, njihovi otroci bodo to videli in bodo veseli; njihovo srce se bo veselilo v Gospodu.
8 I will signal for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they will increase as they have increased.
»Požvižgal jim bom in jih zbral, ker sem jih odkupil in narasli bodo, kakor so oni narasli.
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.
Sejal jih bom med ljudstvom in spomnili se me bodo v daljnih deželah in živeli bodo s svojimi otroki in se ponovno vrnili.
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.
Ponovno jih bom privedel tudi iz egiptovske dežele in jih zbral iz Asirije. Privedel jih bom v deželo Gileád in Libanon in ne bo najti prostora zanje.
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.
S stisko bo prešel skozi morje in udaril bo valove v morju in vse globine reke se bodo posušile. Ponos Asirije bo ponižan in egiptovsko žezlo bo odšlo proč.
12 I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they will walk up and down in his name," says the LORD.
Okrepil jih bom v Gospodu in hodili bodo gor in dol v njegovem imenu, « govori Gospod.
