< Zechariah 10 >

1 Ask of the LORD rain in the spring time, the LORD who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
Ihalalio orañe am’ Iehovà, oran-doha-taoñe am’ Iehovà mpitsene i helatsey; vaho hampikojojoaha’e orañe, fonga ondaty ty amo mitiry an-tete’eo.
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.
Fa mikora aman-tahiñe o ambiasao, naho mahaonim-bande o mpisikilio, mivolam-bìlañe ka o nofio, tsy jefa’e ty fañohò’ iareo; aa le mirererere hoe añondry iereo, misotry fa tsy amam-piarake.
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.
Misolebotse amo mpiarakeo ty habosehako, le ho liloveko o ose-lahio; fa tiahi’ Iehovà’ i Màroy i lia-rai’ey, i anjomba’ Iehoday ie hanoe’e hoe soavalam-bolonahe’e an-kotakotak’ ao.
4 From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
Boak’am’ iareo ty vato-lahy, hirik’am’ iereo ty fantake, boak’am’ iereo ty falen-kotakotake, vaho hirik’am’ iereo ao ze mpameleke—hiharo
5 They will be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle. They will fight, because the LORD is with them. The riders on horses will be confounded.
hoe fanalolahy iereo, ho lialia’ iereo am-potak’ an-dalañe ao t’ie mihotakotake naho mifandraparapake, fa mindre am’ iereo t’Iehovà vaho hifandrakaraka o mpiningi-tsoavalao.
6 “I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, for I have mercy on them. They will be as though I had not cast them off, for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them.
Hampaozareko ty anjomba’ Iehodà, naho ho rombaheko ty anjomba’ Iosefe, hampoliko fa iferenaiñako, vaho hanahake t’ie tsy nahifiko añe, amy te izaho Iehovà t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo, le ho toiñeko.
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.
Hanahake ondaty manjofakeo t’i Efraime, le hirebeke ty arofo’ iareo hoe an-divay; Eka hahaisake izay o ana’eo vaho handia-taroba, hifale am’ Iehovà ty arofo’ iareo.
8 I will signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were before.
Ho tsikaoreko, naho hatontoko, amy t’ie nijebañeko, ie hitombo ho mira ami’ty hamaro’e taolo.
9 I will sow them among the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will return.
Ie aparatsiako amo fifeheañeo, le hahatiahy ahy an-tsietoitane añe; naho ho veloñe iereo naho o ana’ iareoo, vaho himpoly.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there won’t be room enough for them.
Hampoliko boak’an-tane Mitsraime, naho hatontoko boak’ Asore añe; vaho hendeseko mb’an-tane Gilade naho mb’e Libanone mb’eo; ampara’ te tsy tsahatse i toetsey.
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.
Ho sorohe’e i ria-kaloviloviañey, ho fofohe’e o onjan-driakeo, le ho maike o godobo’ i sakaio, naho hafotsake ty enge’ i Asore vaho hipitsok’ añe ty kobai’ i Mitsraime.
12 I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
Hampaozareko am’ Iehovà iereo vaho i tahina’ey ty hidraidraita’ iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
