Zekaria 10
1 Mibia Yehowa wòana tsi nadza na mi le tsidzaɣi, elabena Yehowae nana tsi ɖona. Enana tsi dzana na amewo, eye wònana nukuwo miena ɖe bo dzi na ame sia ame.
Ask the LORD for rain in springtime; the LORD makes the storm clouds, and He will give everyone showers of rain and crops in the field.
2 Legbawo blea ame, bokɔnɔwo kpɔa ŋutega siwo mele eteƒe o, wokua drɔ̃e siwo nye aʋatso, eye wogblɔa akɔfanya siwo mevaa eme o. Eya ta ameawo le tsaglalã tsam abe alẽ siwo wote ɖe anyi la ene, elabena kplɔla mele wo si o.
For idols speak deceit and diviners see illusions; they tell false dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore the people wander like sheep, oppressed for lack of a shepherd.
3 “Nye dɔmedzoe bi ɖe alẽkplɔlawo ŋu, eye mahe to na kplɔlawo, elabena Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la akpɔ Yuda ƒe aƒe, eƒe alẽha la ta, eye wòawɔ wo woanɔ abe sɔ si ŋu ŋusẽ le le aʋagbedzi ene.
“My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders. For the LORD of Hosts attends to His flock, the house of Judah; He will make them like His royal steed in battle.
4 Dzogoedzikpe atso Yuda ava, eye tsyoti, dati siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le aʋa me kple dziɖula ɖe sia ɖe atso Yuda ava.
The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.
5 Wo katã woabɔ asaɖa abe ŋutsu kalẽtɔ siwo le zɔzɔm le bamɔtatawo dzi le aʋagbedzi ene, elabena Yehowa li kpli wo, woawɔ aʋa, aɖu sɔdolawo dzi.
They will be like mighty men in battle, trampling the enemy in the mire of the streets. They will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put the horsemen to shame.
6 “Mado ŋusẽ Yuda ƒe aƒe, eye maɖe Yosef ƒe aƒe, magbugbɔ wo agaɖo te, elabena mekpɔ nublanui na wo. Woanɔ abe ɖe nyemegbe nu le wo gbɔ kpɔ o ene, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la, eye matɔ na wo.
I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had not rejected them. For I am the LORD their God, and I will answer them.
7 Efraimtɔwo ava nɔ abe ŋutsu kalẽtɔwo ene, eye woƒe dziwo akpɔ dzidzɔ abe wain wono ene. Wo viwo akpɔe, woatso aseye, eye woakpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their hearts will be glad as with wine. Their children will see it and be joyful; their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.
8 Mana dzesi wo, eye maƒo wo nu ƒu, maɖe wo vavã, eye woagasɔ gbɔ abe tsã ene.
I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.
9 Togbɔ be mekaka wo ɖe amewo dome hã la, woaɖo ŋku dzinye le anyigba didi mawo dzi. Wo kple wo viwo atsi agbe, eye woagatrɔ agbɔ.
Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.
10 Makplɔ wo agbɔe tso Egipte, eye maƒo wo nu ƒu tso Asiria; makplɔ wo va Gilead kple Lebanon, eye womakpɔ teƒe anɔ gɔ̃ hã o.
I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon until no more room is found for them.
11 Woato nuxaxa ƒe atsiaƒu me, ke woaɖu ƒu dzeagbowo dzi, eye Nil tɔsisi ƒe gogloƒewo aƒu kplakplakpla. Woaŋe kɔ le Asiria ƒe dada nu, eye woaɖe Egipte ƒe fiatikplɔ ɖa.
They will pass through the sea of distress and strike the waves of the sea; all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
12 Mado ŋusẽ wo le Yehowa me, eye eƒe ŋkɔ me woazɔ le.” Yehowae gblɔe.
I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,”
