Zechariah 10
1 Ask from the Lord rain, at the time of spring rain, from the Lord who forms the storm clouds, and the showers of rain he gives to you, and green in the field.
Ištite od Gospoda dažda u vrijeme poznoga dažda, Gospod æe pustiti munje, i daæe vam izobila dažda i svakome trave u polju.
2 But the household gods speak nonsense, and the diviners see lies, and relate idle dreams. In vain they offer comfort, so the people wander like sheep, They suffer because there is no shepherd.
Jer likovi govore ništavilo i vraèi vide laž i govore zaludne sne, tješe taštinom; zato otidoše kao stado, i ojadiše se, jer ne bješe pastira.
3 My wrath is hot against the shepherds, and on the leaders will I bring punishment. For the Lord cares for his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them his splendid war steeds.
Gnjev se moj raspali na pastire, i pokarah jarce; jer Gospod nad vojskama obide stado svoje, dom Judin, i uèini da su mu kao konj okiæen za boj.
4 From Judah will come the cornerstone and the stay, from them the battle bow, from them goes forth every commander.
Od njega je ugao, od njega kolje, od njega luk ubojiti, od njega izlazi i svaki nastojnik.
5 Together they will trample on warriors, as on the dirt of the streets in battle. They fight, for the Lord is with them, putting the riders on horses to shame.
I oni æe biti kao junaci, gaziæe u boju kao blato po ulicama, i biæe se, jer je Gospod s njima, i koji jašu na konjma osramotiæe se.
6 I will make strong the house of Judah, I will bring deliverance to the house of Joseph, I will bring them back for I have compassion on them, they will be as if I had not driven them away. For I am the Lord their God and will answer them.
I ukrijepiæu dom Judin, i dom æu Josifov spasti, i dovešæu ih natrag, jer mi ih je žao, i biæe kao da ih nijesam odbacio, jer sam ja Gospod Bog njihov i uslišiæu ih.
7 The Ephraimites will be like warriors, their hearts will rejoice as with wine, their children will see and rejoice. Their hearts will exult in the Lord.
I oni od Jefrema biæe kao junak, i srce æe im biti veselo kao od vina, i sinovi njihovi vidjeæe i veseliæe se, i srce æe im se radovati o Gospodu.
8 I will whistle for them, and gather them, and they will be as many as they once were.
Zazviždaæu im i sabraæu ih, jer æu ih izbaviti, i oni æe se umnožiti kao što su se bili umnožili.
9 I will sow them among the peoples, but in distant lands they will remember me, and they will bring up their children and come back.
I rasijaæu ih meðu narode da se u daljnijem mjestima opominju mene, i živeæi sa sinovima svojima da se vrate.
10 I will bring them home from the land of Egypt, and from Assyria will I gather them. Into the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them, until the land overflows with them.
I dovešæu ih natrag iz zemlje Misirske, i sabraæu ih iz Asirske, i dovešæu ih u zemlju Galadsku i na Livan; i neæe im biti dosta mjesta.
11 And when they pass through the sea of distress, I will strike down the waves of the sea, and all the deeps of the Nile will be dried up. The pride of Assyria will be brought low and the sceptre of Egypt turned aside.
I od tjeskobe æe prijeæi preko mora, i razbiæe vale u moru, i sve æe dubine rijeci presahnuti, i oboriæe se ponos Asirski i palica æe se Misirska uzeti.
12 I will make them strong in the Lord, they will walk in his name, says the Lord.
I ukrijepiæu ih Gospodom, i oni æe hoditi u ime njegovo, govori Gospod.
