Zechariah 10
1 Ask Yahweh to cause rain to fall (in the springtime/before the hot season starts), [because] he is the one who makes the clouds [from which the rain falls]. He causes showers to fall on us, and he causes crops to grow well in the fields.
E NOI aku oukou ia Iehova i ka ua i ka manawa ua hope; E hana mai o Iehova i ka uila, A e haawi mai ia lakou i ka ua nui, I kela kanaka i keia kanaka i ka laauikiai o ke kula.
2 [What people think that] the idols in their houses suggest [is only] nonsense, and people who [say that they can] interpret dreams tell [only] lies. When they [tell people things to] comfort [them, what they say] is useless, so the people [who (consult/trust in) them] are like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no [one to protect them] [like] [MET] a shepherd [protects his sheep].
No ka mea, ua olelo lapuwale na kii, A ua wanana na kaula i ka mea wahahee, A ua hoike mai i na moeuhane hoopunipuni; He mea ole ko lakou hooluolu ana; Nolaila auwana aku la lakou e like me na ohana hipa; Ua popilikia lakou, no ka mea, aohe kahuhipa.
3 [Yahweh says, ] “I am angry with the leaders [MET] of my people, and I will punish them. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, take care of my people, the people of Judah, [like a shepherd takes care of his] [MET] flock, and I will cause them to be like [SIM] proud/powerful war horses.
Hoaia aku la kuu inaina i na kahuhipa, A e hoopai auanei au i ka poe kao Kane. No ka mea, na Iehova o na kaua e ike mai i kona ohana, i ka ohana a Iuda; A e hoolike ia lakou me kona lio maikai iloko o ke kaua.
4 From Judah will come rulers [who will be very important], [like] [MET] a cornerstone is [the most important stone for a house], [like] [MET] a tent peg [is very important for a tent], [like] [MET] a bow [is very important for (an archer/a man who shoots arrows]).
Mailoko ae ona ka pohaku kumu kihi, Mailoko ae ona ka makia, Mailoko ae ona ke kakaka kaua; Mailoko pu aku no hoi ona i hele mai ai na mea hookoikoi a pau.
5 They will all be like [SIM] mighty warriors trampling [their enemies] in the mud during a battle. [I, ] Yahweh, will be with them, so they will fight and defeat their enemies who ride on horses.
A e like auanei lakou me na koa, E hehi iho ana i ka nenelu o na alanui iloko o ke kaua: A e hookaua aku lakou, No ka mea, me lakou pu o Iehova, A e hoohokaia ka poe hoohololio.
6 I will cause the people [MTY] of Judah to become strong, and I will rescue the people [MTY] of Israel. I will bring them back [from the countries to which they were (exiled/forced to go)]; [I will do that] because I pity them. Then they will be as though I had not abandoned them, because I am Yahweh, their God, and I will answer them [when they pray for help].
A e hooku paa no au i ka ohana a Iuda, A e hoola au i ka ohana a Iosepa, A e hoihoi hou mai au ia lakou e hoonoho ia lakou, no ka mea, ua aloha au ia lakou; A e like auanei lakou me ka poe a'u i hoohemo ole ai; No ka mea, owau no Iehova o ko lakou Akua, a e hoolohe auanei au ia lakou.
7 The people of Israel will be like [SIM] strong soldiers; they will be as happy as [people who have drunk a lot of] wine. Their children will see [their fathers being very happy], and they [also] will be happy because of what Yahweh [has done for them].
A e like ko Eperaima me ke kanaka koa, A e olioli ko lakou naau, e like me ka mea inu waina: E nana aku ka lakou poe keiki, me ka olioli, A e hauoli ko lakou naau ia Iehova.
8 I will signal for my people [to return from (being exiled/other countries)], and I will gather them together [in their own country]. I will rescue them, and they will become very numerous like [they were] previously.
E pio aku no au ia lakou, a e houluulu au ia lakou, No ka mea, e hoola auanei au ia lakou; A e mahuahua auanei lakou, me ka lakou i mahuahua'i mamua.
9 I have caused them to be scattered among many people-groups, but in those distant countries they will think about me again. They and their children will remain alive and return [to Judah].
E lulu aku hoi au ia lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, Aka, e hoomanao mai lakou ia'u ma na aina mamao aku; A e ola lakou me ka lakou poe keiki, a e huli hou mai.
10 I will bring them [back] from Egypt and from Assyria; I will bring them [back] from the Gilead and Lebanon [regions], and there will hardly be enough [HYP] space for them all [to live in Judah].
E alakai hou au ia lakou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, A e houluulu ia lakou mai Asuria mai, A e alakai au ia lakou i ka aina o Gileada a o Lebanona, Aole hoi e lawa ka aina no lakou.
11 They will endure/experience many difficulties [as though they were walking] [MET] through a sea, but [I] will calm the waves of the sea; the Nile [River which is usually] deep will dry up. [I] will defeat the proud [soldiers of] Assyria, and [I will cause] Egypt to no longer be powerful [MTY].
A e hele aku ia mawaena o ke kai me ka pilikia, Aka, e hahau ia i na ale o ke kai, A e hoomaloo ia i na wahi hohonu a pau o ka muliwai; E hoohioloia ke kiekie o Asuria, A e laweia'ku ke kookoomoi o Aigupita.
12 I will enable my people to be strong, and they will honor me and obey [IDM] me. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
A e hooikaika aku au ia lakou ma o Iehova la, A ma kona inoa lakou e hele ai, wahi a Iehova.
