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.

Siyuk sin LEUM GOD in oasr af ke pacl ma mutawauk in fusrfusr lun yac uh. Tuh LEUM GOD pa supu pukunyeng in af ac af sringsring uh, ac oru in folfol sroan acn uh nu sin mwet nukewa.

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].

Mwet uh orek lolngok nu sin ma sruloala ac mwet susfa, tusruktu top nu selos uh kikiap mukena ac wangin sripa. Kutu mwet uh aketeya mweme uh, tuh ma na in kiapu mwet, a kas in akwoye ma elos sang nu sin mwet uh wanginna sripa. Oru mwet uh forfor wel oana sheep tuhlac uh. Elos muta in ongoiya mweyen wangin mwet kol lalos.

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.

Ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga kasrkusrak sin mwetsac ingo su leumi mwet luk, ac nga ac kalyaelos. Mwet Judah elos mwet luk, ac nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, fah karinganulosyang. Elos ac fah oana horse in mweun kulana luk.

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]).

Na ac fah oasr mwet leum, mwet kol, ac leum fulat lun mwet mweun tuku liki inmasrlolos in tuh liyaung mwet luk.

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.

Mwet Judah ac fah kutangla oana mwet mweun su lolongya mwet lokoalok lalos nu in fohk furarrar inkanek uh. Elos ac fah mweun mweyen LEUM GOD El welulos, na finne mwet lokoalok ma kasrusr fin horse uh, elos ac fah kutangyukla pac.

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].

“Nga ac fah oru mwet Judah in ku in mano; Nga ac molela mwet Israel. Ac fah oasr pakomuta luk nu selos, Ac nga fah folokunulosme nukewa nu yen selos. Elos ac fah muta yuruk oana in wanginna pacl nga tuh siselosla meet. Nga pa LEUM GOD lalos; ac nga fah topuk pre lalos.

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].

Mwet Israel elos ac fah fokoko oana mwet mweun uh, Ac engan oana luman mwet nim wain uh. Fwilin tulik natulos ac fah esam kutangla se inge, Ac engan ke sripen ma LEUM GOD El oru.

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.

“Nga fah pangon mwet luk Ac eisaloseni nu sie. Nga fah loangelosla Ac oru elos in arulana pukanten oana meet ah.

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].

Nga ne akfahsryeloselik inmasrlon mutunfacl uh, Elos ac fah esamyu elos finne muta yen loessula. Elos ac tulik natulos ac fah painmoulla Ac tukeni foloko nu yen selos.

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].

Nga fah usalosme liki acn Egypt ac acn Assyria nu yen selos, Ac oakelosi in facl selos sifacna. Nga fah oakelosi in acn Gilead oayapa in acn Lebanon. Acn we nufon ac fah sessesla ke mwet.

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].

Ke elos ac fahsr sasla in meoa lun ongoiya nu selos, Nga, LEUM GOD, ac fah sringilya noa uh, Ac acn loal lun infacl Nile ac fah paola. Mwet inse fulat lun Assyria ac fah akpusiselyeyukla, Ac acn Egypt su kulana, ac fah wanginla ku lal.

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.”

Nga fah oru mwet luk in arulana ku; Ac elos fah alu nu sik ac akosyu.” LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge.
