Zekaria 10

1 Hooyai Jehova oirie mbura hĩndĩ ya kĩmera kĩa mbere; Jehova nĩwe ũtũmaga kũgĩe matu ma mbura ya kĩhuhũkanio. Nĩoiragĩria andũ mbura, na akahe mũndũ o wothe irio cia mũgũnda.

Ask ye of the Lord rain in season, the early and the latter: the Lord has given bright signs, and will give them abundant rain, to every one grass in the field.

2 Mĩhianano ya kũhooywo yaragia maheeni, ago moonaga cioneki itarĩ cia ma, maaragia ũhoro wa irooto itarĩ cia ma; kũhoorerania kwao no gwa tũhũ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ maturuuraga ta ngʼondu, makahinyĩrĩrĩka nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga mũrĩithi.

For the speakers have uttered grievous things, and the diviners [have ] [seen] false visions, and they have spoken false dreams, they have given vain comfort: therefore have they fallen away like sheep, and been afflicted, because there was no healing.

3 “Marakara makwa nĩmakanĩte nĩ ũndũ wa arĩithi, na niĩ nĩngaherithia atongoria acio; nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩakamenyerera rũũru rwake, nĩruo andũ a nyũmba ya Juda, na atũme matuĩke ta mbarathi ĩgwĩtĩĩa ĩrĩ mbaara-inĩ.

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit the lambs; and the Lord God Almighty shall visit his flock, the house of Juda, and he shall make them as his goodly horse in war.

4 Thĩinĩ wa Juda nĩgũkoima ũrĩa ũgaatuĩka ihiga rĩa koine, na kuuma kũrĩ we kuume higĩ cia kwamba hema, ningĩ kuume ũta wa mbaara, o na kuume mũndũ o wothe wa gwathana.

And from him he looked, and from him he set [the battle in order], and from him [came] the bow in anger, [and] from him shall come forth every oppressor together.

5 Marĩ hamwe magaatuĩka ta njamba cia ita irĩ hinya, marangĩrĩrie thũ ciao ndoro-inĩ ya njĩra hĩndĩ ya mbaara. Tondũ Jehova agaakorwo hamwe nao, makaarũa na mangʼaũranie ahaici a mbarathi.

And they shall be as warriors treading clay in the ways in war; and they shall set the battle in array, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

6 “Nĩngekĩra nyũmba ya Juda hinya, na honokie nyũmba ya Jusufu. Nĩngamacookia kwao, tondũ nĩndĩmaiguĩrĩire tha. Nao magaikara ta itarĩ ndaamarega, nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wao, na nĩngamacookeria mahooya mao.

And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph, and I will settle them; because I have loved them: and they shall be as [if] I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.

7 Andũ a Efiraimu magaatuĩka ta njamba cia ita, nacio ngoro ciao icanjamũke ta andũ manyuĩte ndibei. Ciana ciao nĩikoona ũndũ ũcio ikene; nacio ngoro ciao nĩigakenera Jehova.

And they shall be as the warriors of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as with wine: and their children also shall see [it], and be glad; and their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.

8 Nĩngameta ndĩmacookanĩrĩrie. Ti-itherũ nĩngamakũũra; nao nĩmakaingĩha o ta ũrĩa maarĩ mbere.

I will make a sign to them, and gather them in; for I will redeem them, and they shall be multiplied according to their number before.

9 O na ingĩkamaharaganĩria ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, marĩ o kũu mabũrũri ma kũraya no makaandirikana. O, hamwe na ciana ciao nĩmakahonoka na macooke kwao.

And I will sow them among the people; and they that are afar off shall remember me: they shall nourish their children, and they shall return.

10 Nĩngamacookia kuuma Misiri, na ndĩmacookanĩrĩrie kuuma Ashuri. Nĩngamarehe bũrũri wa Gileadi na wa Lebanoni, o nginya mage ũikaro ũngĩmaigana.

And I will bring them again from the land of Egypt, and I will gather them in from among the Assyrians; and I will bring them into the land of Galaad and to Libanus; and there shall not even one of them be left behind.

11 Magaatuĩkanĩria iria rĩa thĩĩna; makũmbĩ ma iria nĩmakahoorerio, nakuo kũrĩa Rũũĩ rwa Nili rũrikĩte nĩgũkahũa. Mwĩtĩĩo wa Ashuri nĩũkaharũrũkio, nayo thimbũ ya ũthamaki wa Misiri nĩĩkeherio.

And they shall pass through a narrow sea, they shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deep places of the rivers shall be dried up: and all the pride of the Assyrians shall be taken away, and the sceptre of Egypt shall be removed.

12 Nĩngamekĩra hinya ndĩmomĩrĩrie thĩinĩ wa Jehova, na thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩmagetwara,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.

And I will strengthen them in the Lord their God; and they shall boast in his name, saith the Lord.
