< Zakariya 10 >
1 Ku roƙi Ubangiji yă ba ku ruwa a lokacin bazara; Ubangiji ne yake yin gizagizan hadari. Shi ne yake ba wa mutane yayyafin ruwan sama yana kuma ba da tsire-tsire na fili ga kowa.
Ask Yahweh to cause rain to fall (in the springtime/before the hot season starts), [because] he is the one who makes the clouds [from which the rain falls]. He causes showers to fall on us, and he causes crops to grow well in the fields.
2 Gumaka suna maganganun ruɗu, masu duba suna ganin wahayoyin ƙarya, suna faɗa mafarkan ƙarya suna ba da ta’aziyyar banza. Saboda haka mutane suna yawo kamar tumaki waɗanda suke shan wahala saboda rashin makiyayi.
[What people think that] the idols in their houses suggest [is only] nonsense, and people who [say that they can] interpret dreams tell [only] lies. When they [tell people things to] comfort [them, what they say] is useless, so the people [who (consult/trust in) them] are like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no [one to protect them] [like] [MET] a shepherd [protects his sheep].
3 “Ina fushi da makiyayan, zan kuma hukunta shugabannin; gama Ubangiji Maɗaukaki zai lura da garkensa, wato, gidan Yahuda, zai kuma sa su zama kamar doki mai fariya cikin yaƙi.
[Yahweh says, ] “I am angry with the leaders [MET] of my people, and I will punish them. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, take care of my people, the people of Judah, [like a shepherd takes care of his] [MET] flock, and I will cause them to be like [SIM] proud/powerful war horses.
4 Daga Yahuda dutsen kusurwa zai fito, daga gare shi za a samu abin kafa tenti, daga gare shi za a sami bakan yaƙi, daga gare shi za a sami kowane mai mulki.
From Judah will come rulers [who will be very important], [like] [MET] a cornerstone is [the most important stone for a house], [like] [MET] a tent peg [is very important for a tent], [like] [MET] a bow [is very important for (an archer/a man who shoots arrows]).
5 Tare za su zama kamar mutane masu ƙarfi suna tattake lakar tituna a cikin yaƙi. Domin Ubangiji yana tare da su, za su yi faɗa su kuma yi nasara a kan masu yaƙi a kan dawakai.
They will all be like [SIM] mighty warriors trampling [their enemies] in the mud during a battle. [I, ] Yahweh, will be with them, so they will fight and defeat their enemies who ride on horses.
6 “Zan ƙarfafa gidan Yahuda in kuma ceci gidan Yusuf. Zan maido da su domin ina jin tausayinsu. Za su zama kamar ban taɓa ƙinsu ba, gama ni ne Ubangiji Allahnsu zan kuma amsa musu.
I will cause the people [MTY] of Judah to become strong, and I will rescue the people [MTY] of Israel. I will bring them back [from the countries to which they were (exiled/forced to go)]; [I will do that] because I pity them. Then they will be as though I had not abandoned them, because I am Yahweh, their God, and I will answer them [when they pray for help].
7 Mutanen Efraim za su zama kamar mutane masu ƙarfi, zukatansu kuwa za su yi murna kamar sun sha ruwan inabi.’Ya’yansu za su gani su yi murna; zuciyarsu za tă yi farin ciki a cikin Ubangiji.
The people of Israel will be like [SIM] strong soldiers; they will be as happy as [people who have drunk a lot of] wine. Their children will see [their fathers being very happy], and they [also] will be happy because of what Yahweh [has done for them].
8 Zan ba da alama in kuma tattara su. Ba shakka zan fanshe su; za su yi yawa kamar yadda suke a dā.
I will signal for my people [to return from (being exiled/other countries)], and I will gather them together [in their own country]. I will rescue them, and they will become very numerous like [they were] previously.
9 Ko da yake na warwatsa su cikin mutane, duk da haka a can ƙasashe masu nisa za su tuna da ni. Su da’ya’yansu za su rayu, za su kuwa komo.
I have caused them to be scattered among many people-groups, but in those distant countries they will think about me again. They and their children will remain alive and return [to Judah].
10 Zan komo da su daga Masar in kuma tattara su daga Assuriya. Zan kawo su Gileyad da Lebanon, har wuri yă kāsa musu.
I will bring them [back] from Egypt and from Assyria; I will bring them [back] from the Gilead and Lebanon [regions], and there will hardly be enough [HYP] space for them all [to live in Judah].
11 Za su ratsa cikin tekun wahala; zan kwantar da raƙuman teku dukan zurfafan Nilu kuma za su bushe. Za a ƙasƙantar da Assuriya, sandar sarautar Masar kuma za tă rabu da ita.
They will endure/experience many difficulties [as though they were walking] [MET] through a sea, but [I] will calm the waves of the sea; the Nile [River which is usually] deep will dry up. [I] will defeat the proud [soldiers of] Assyria, and [I will cause] Egypt to no longer be powerful [MTY].
12 Zan ƙarfafa su a cikin Ubangiji kuma a cikin sunansa za su yi tafiya,” in ji Ubangiji.
I will enable my people to be strong, and they will honor me and obey [IDM] me. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
