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.
あなたがたは春の雨の時に、雨を主に請い求めよ。主はいなずまを造り、大雨を人々に賜い、野の青草をおのおのに賜わる。
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.
テラピムは、たわごとを言い、占い師は偽りを見、夢見る者は偽りの夢を語り、むなしい慰めを与える。このゆえに、民は羊のようにさまよい、牧者がないために悩む。
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.
「わが怒りは牧者にむかって燃え、わたしは雄やぎを罰する。万軍の主が、その群れの羊であるユダの家を顧み、これをみごとな軍馬のようにされるからである。
4 From him [is] a corner-stone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goeth forth every exactor together.
隅石は彼らから出、天幕の杭も彼らから出、いくさ弓も彼らから出、支配者も皆彼らの中から出る。
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.
彼らが戦う時は勇士のようになって、道ばたの泥の中に敵を踏みにじる。主が彼らと共におられるゆえに彼らは戦い、馬に乗る者どもを困らせる。
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.
わたしはユダの家を強くし、ヨセフの家を救う。わたしは彼らをあわれんで、彼らを連れ帰る。彼らはわたしに捨てられたことのないようになる。わたしは彼らの神、主であって、彼らに答えるからである。
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.
エフライムびとは勇士のようになり、その心は酒を飲んだように喜ぶ。その子供らはこれを見て喜び、その心は主によって楽しむ。
8 I hist for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they did multiply.
わたしは彼らに向かい、口笛を吹いて彼らを集める、わたしが彼らをあがなったからである。彼らは昔のように数多くなる。
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.
わたしは彼らを国々の民の中に散らした。しかし彼らは遠い国々でわたしを覚え、その子供らと共に生きながらえて帰ってくる。
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].
わたしは彼らをエジプトの国から連れ帰り、アッスリヤから彼らを集める。わたしはギレアデの地およびレバノンに彼らを連れて行く。彼らはいる所もないほどに多くなる。
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.
彼らはエジプトの海を通る。海の波は撃たれ、ナイルの淵はことごとくかれた。アッスリヤの高ぶりは低くされ、エジプトのつえは移り去る。
12 And I have made them mighty in Jehovah, And in His name they walk up and down, An affirmation of Jehovah!
わたしは彼らを主によって強くする。彼らは主の名を誇る」と主は言われる。
