Zechariah 10

1 They asked of Jehovah rain in a time of latter rain, Jehovah is making lightnings, And rain [in] showers He doth give to them. To each — the herb in the field.

١ اطْلُبُوا مِنَ الرَّبِّ الْمَطَرَ فِي مَوْسِمِ الرَّبِيعِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ الَّذِي يَسْتَجِيبُ بِبُرُوقٍ، وَيَسْكُبُ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَابِلاً هَطَّالاً، وَيَرْزُقُ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ عُشْباً فِي الْحَقْلِ.

2 Because the teraphim did speak iniquity, And the diviners have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak, [With] vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed as a flock, They are afflicted, for there is no shepherd.

٢ أَمَّا الأَوْثَانُ فَإِنَّهَا تَنْطِقُ بِالْبَاطِلِ، وَيَرَى الْعَرَّافُونَ رُؤىً كَاذِبَةً، وَيُنْبِئُونَ بِأَحْلامِ زُورٍ. وَعَبَثاً يُعَزُّونَ. لِذَلِكَ شَرَدَ النَّاسُ كَغَنَمٍ، وَقَاسُوا مَشَقَّةً لاِفْتِقَارِهِمْ إِلَى رَاعٍ.

3 Against the shepherds did Mine anger burn, And against the he-goats I lay a charge, For inspected hath Jehovah of Hosts His flock, the house of Judah, And set them as His beauteous horse in battle.

٣ إِنَّ غَضَبِي مُحْتَدِمٌ عَلَى الرُّعَاةِ، وَسَأُعَاقِبُ الرُّؤَسَاءَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يَعْتَنِي بِقَطِيعِهِ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا، وَيَجْعَلُهُمْ كَفَرَسِ الْمَزْهُوِّ فِي الْقِتَالِ.

4 From him [is] a corner-stone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goeth forth every exactor together.

٤ مِنْهُمْ يَخْرُجُ حَجَرُ الزَّاوِيَةِ وَالْوَتَدُ وَقَوْسُ الْقِتَالِ وَكُلُّ حَاكِمٍ مُتَسَلِّطٍ.

5 And they have been as heroes, Treading in mire of out-places in battle, And they have fought, for Jehovah [is] with them, And have put to shame riders of horses.

٥ وَيَدُوسُونَ الأَعْدَاءَ مَعاً كَمَا يَدُوسُ الْجَبَابِرَةُ الطِّينَ فِي الشَّوَارِعِ، وَيُحَارِبُونَ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَهُمْ فَيُلْحِقُونَ الْعَارَ بِفُرْسَانِ الأَعْدَاءِ.

6 And I have made mighty the house of Judah, And the house of Joseph I do save, And I have caused them to dwell, for I have loved them, And they have been as [if] I had not cast them off, For I [am] Jehovah their God, And I answer them.

٦ إِنِّي أُشَدِّدُ شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا وَأُخَلِّصُ ذُرِّيَّةَ يُوسُفَ وَأَرُدُّهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِهِمْ لأَنِّي أَكُنُّ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَةَ، فَيَكُونُونَ كَأَنِّي لَمْ أَنبِذْهُمْ لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ فَأَسْتَجِيبُهُمْ.

7 And Ephraim hath been as a hero, And rejoiced hath their heart as wine, And their sons see, and they have rejoiced, Rejoice doth their heart in Jehovah.

٧ ويُصْبِحُ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَجَبَابِرَةِ الْحَرْبِ، وَتَنْتَشِي قُلُوبُهُمْ كَمَنْ شَرِبَ خَمْرَةً، وَيَشْهَدُ أَبْنَاؤُهُمْ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَتَبْتَهِجُ نُفُوسُهُمْ بِالرَّبِّ.

8 I hist for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they did multiply.

٨ أُصْدِرُ إِشَارَتِي لَهُمْ فَأَجْمَعُ شَتَاتَهُمْ، لأَنِّي افْتَدَيْتُهُمْ، وَيَكْثُرُونَ كَمَا فِي الْحِقَبِ الأُولَى.

9 And I sow them among peoples, And in far-off places they remember Me, And they have lived with their sons, And they have turned back.

٩ مَعَ أَنِّي بَدَّدْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَظَلُّونَ يَذْكُرُونَنِي فِي الْمَنَافِي الْبَعِيدَةِ، وَيَحْيَوْنَ مَعَ أَوْلادِهِمْ وَيَرْجِعُونَ.

10 And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And from Asshur I do gather them, And unto the land of Gilead and Lebanon I do bring them in, And there is not found for them [space].

١٠ سَأَرُدُّهُمْ إِلَى مَوْطِنِهِمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَأَجْمَعُ شَتَاتَهُمْ مِنْ أَشُّورَ، وَآتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ وَلُبْنَانَ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مُتَّسَعٌ لَهُمْ بَعْدُ.

11 And He hath passed over through the sea, And hath pressed and smitten billows in the sea, And dried up have been all depths of a flood, And brought down hath been the excellency of Asshur, And the rod of Egypt doth turn aside.

١١ يَجْتَازُونَ عَبْرَ بَحْرِ الْمَشَقَّاتِ، فَتَنْحَسِرُ الأَمْوَاجُ وَتَجُفُّ لُجَجُ النِّيلِ. تَذِلُّ كِبْرِيَاءُ أَشُّورَ وَيَزُولُ صَوْلَجَانُ مِصْرَ.

12 And I have made them mighty in Jehovah, And in His name they walk up and down, An affirmation of Jehovah!

١٢ وَأُشَدِّدُهُمْ بِالرَّبِّ فَيَسْلُكُونَ بِمُقْتَضَى اسْمِهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.
