< Zechariah 10 >
1 Axe ye of the Lord reyn in late tyme, and the Lord schal make snowis, and reyn of myyt of cloude; and he schal yyue to hem, to ech bi hym silf, erbe in the feeld.
到春雨的時節,你們應向上主求雨,上主必興起雷電,降下傾盆大雨,賜人食糧,使田間生出青草,
2 For symylacris spaken vnprofitable thing, and diuynours saien leesyng; and dremeris spaken veynli, ydily thei coumfortiden; therfor thei ben led awei as a floc, thei schulen be turmentid, for a scheepherd is not to hem.
因為「忒辣芬」所講的只是謊言,占卜者所見的只是虛幻,所報告的只是幻夢,只會以空言安慰人;為此,民眾流離失所,有如沒有牧人的羊群。
3 On scheepherdis my strong veniaunce is wrooth, and on buckis of geet Y schal visite; for the Lord of oostis hath visitide his floc, the hous of Juda, and hath put hem as an hors of hys glorie in batel.
我的怒火必要向牧人發作,我必要懲罰公山羊,因為萬軍的上主將要看顧自己的羊群──猶大家,使他們有如自己戰埸上的駿馬。
4 Of hym `schal be a cornere, and of hym a litil pale, of hym a bowe of batel, and of hym ech vniust axere schal go out togidere.
角石是出於衪,幕樁是出於衪,戰弓是出於衪,而且所有的首領也是出於衪。
5 And thei schulen be as stronge men, defoulynge clei of weies in batel, and thei schulen fiyte, for the Lord is with hem; and stieris of horsis schulen be confoundid.
他們全如勇士,在戰埸上踐踏敵人,有如踐踏街上的泥濘;他們必要得勝,因為上主與他們同在;騎馬的人反要慚愧!
6 And Y schal coumforte the hous of Juda, and Y schal saue the hous of Joseph; and Y schal conuerte hem, for Y schal haue merci on hem; and thei schulen be as thei weren, whanne Y hadde not cast awei hem; for Y schal be the Lord God of hem, and Y schal graciousli here hem.
我要使猶大家強健盛,使若瑟家勝利;我要使他們復興,因為我憐憫了他們,他們必好像我從未放逐過他們一樣:因為我是上主他們的天主,我必要應允他們。
7 And thei schulen be as the stronge of Effraym, and the herte of hem schal be glad, as of wyn; and sones of hem schulen se, and be glad, and the herte of hem schal make ioie withoutforth in the Lord.
厄弗辣因人要如勇士,他們的心必像飲了那樣喜樂;他們的子孫見了也要喜樂,他們的心必歡樂於上主。
8 Y schal hisse, `ether softli speke, to hem, and Y schal gadere hem, for Y ayen bouyte hem, and Y schal multiplie hem, as thei weren multiplied bifore.
我要向他們吹哨,聚集他們,因為我解救了他們;他們的人數眾多,必如昔日一樣。
9 And Y schal sowe hem in puplis, and fro fer thei schulen bithenke of me; and thei schulen lyue with her sones, and schulen turne ayen.
我雖曾將他們分散到各異民中,但他們在遠方仍懷念著我,養大自己的兒子,然後歸來。
10 And Y schal `ayen lede hem fro the lond of Egipt, and Y schal gadere hem fro Assiriens; and Y schal brynge hem to the lond of Galaad and of Liban, and place schal not be foundun to hem.
我要從埃及地領他們出來,由亞述聚集他們,領他們到基肋阿得地和黎巴嫩,但此地仍然為他們不夠。
11 And he schal passe in the wawe of the see, and schal smyte wawis in the see, and alle depnessis of flood schulen be confoundid; and the pride of Assur schal be mekid, and the ceptre of Egipt schal go awei.
他們要渡過埃及海,擊打海中的波浪,使河底乾涸;亞述的高傲必要受挫,埃及的權杖必被奪去。
12 Y schal coumforte hem in the Lord, and thei schulen walke in the name of hym, seith the Lord.
他們的力量全在於上主,他們必以衪的名號為自己的光榮。
