< Zekaria 10 >
1 E NOI aku oukou ia Iehova i ka ua i ka manawa ua hope; E hana mai o Iehova i ka uila, A e haawi mai ia lakou i ka ua nui, I kela kanaka i keia kanaka i ka laauikiai o ke kula.
They asked of YHWH rain In a time of spring rain, YHWH is making lightnings, And He gives to them rain [in] showers. To each—the herb in the field.
2 No ka mea, ua olelo lapuwale na kii, A ua wanana na kaula i ka mea wahahee, A ua hoike mai i na moeuhane hoopunipuni; He mea ole ko lakou hooluolu ana; Nolaila auwana aku la lakou e like me na ohana hipa; Ua popilikia lakou, no ka mea, aohe kahuhipa.
Because the teraphim spoke 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.
3 Hoaia aku la kuu inaina i na kahuhipa, A e hoopai auanei au i ka poe kao Kane. No ka mea, na Iehova o na kaua e ike mai i kona ohana, i ka ohana a Iuda; A e hoolike ia lakou me kona lio maikai iloko o ke kaua.
“My anger burned against the shepherds, And I lay a charge against the male goats, For YHWH of Hosts has inspected His flock, the house of Judah, And set them as His splendid horse in battle.
4 Mailoko ae ona ka pohaku kumu kihi, Mailoko ae ona ka makia, Mailoko ae ona ke kakaka kaua; Mailoko pu aku no hoi ona i hele mai ai na mea hookoikoi a pau.
From him [is] a cornerstone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goes forth every exactor together.
5 A e like auanei lakou me na koa, E hehi iho ana i ka nenelu o na alanui iloko o ke kaua: A e hookaua aku lakou, No ka mea, me lakou pu o Iehova, A e hoohokaia ka poe hoohololio.
And they have been as heroes, Treading in mire of out-places in battle, And they have fought, for YHWH [is] with them, And have put to shame riders of horses.
6 A e hooku paa no au i ka ohana a Iuda, A e hoola au i ka ohana a Iosepa, A e hoihoi hou mai au ia lakou e hoonoho ia lakou, no ka mea, ua aloha au ia lakou; A e like auanei lakou me ka poe a'u i hoohemo ole ai; No ka mea, owau no Iehova o ko lakou Akua, a e hoolohe auanei au ia lakou.
And I have made the house of Judah mighty, And I save the house of Joseph, 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] their God YHWH, And I answer them.
7 A e like ko Eperaima me ke kanaka koa, A e olioli ko lakou naau, e like me ka mea inu waina: E nana aku ka lakou poe keiki, me ka olioli, A e hauoli ko lakou naau ia Iehova.
And Ephraim has been as a hero, And their heart has rejoiced as wine, And their sons see, and they have rejoiced, Their heart rejoices in YHWH.
8 E pio aku no au ia lakou, a e houluulu au ia lakou, No ka mea, e hoola auanei au ia lakou; A e mahuahua auanei lakou, me ka lakou i mahuahua'i mamua.
I hiss for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they multiplied.
9 E lulu aku hoi au ia lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, Aka, e hoomanao mai lakou ia'u ma na aina mamao aku; A e ola lakou me ka lakou poe keiki, a e huli hou mai.
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.
10 E alakai hou au ia lakou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, A e houluulu ia lakou mai Asuria mai, A e alakai au ia lakou i ka aina o Gileada a o Lebanona, Aole hoi e lawa ka aina no lakou.
And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And I gather them from Asshur, And I bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, And [space] is not found for them there.
11 A e hele aku ia mawaena o ke kai me ka pilikia, Aka, e hahau ia i na ale o ke kai, A e hoomaloo ia i na wahi hohonu a pau o ka muliwai; E hoohioloia ke kiekie o Asuria, A e laweia'ku ke kookoomoi o Aigupita.
And He has passed over through the sea, And has pressed and struck billows in the sea, And all depths of a flood have been dried up, And the excellence of Asshur has been brought down, And the rod of Egypt turns aside.
12 A e hooikaika aku au ia lakou ma o Iehova la, A ma kona inoa lakou e hele ai, wahi a Iehova.
And I have made them mighty in YHWH, And in His Name they walk up and down,” A declaration of YHWH!
