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.

Ask ye from Yahweh rain, in the time of the latter rain, Yahweh, who causeth flashes of lightning, —and, rain in abundant showers, giveth he unto them, to every man, herbage 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.

For, the household gods, have spoken vanity, and, the diviners, have had vision of falsehood, and, deceitful dreams, do they relate, vainly, do they console, —for this reason, have they moved about like a flock, they suffer ill, because 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.

Against the shepherds, is kindled mine anger, and, upon the leaders of the flock, will I bring punishment, —for Yahweh of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like his noble 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, the commander, from him, the supporter, from him, the war-bow, —from him, shall proceed every one that driveth on, 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.

So shall they become like mighty ones, trampling on the mire of lanes, in battle, and they will fight because, Yahweh, is with them, —and will abash the 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.

So will I make mighty ones of the house of Judah, and, the house of Joseph, will I save, and will cause them to continue, because I have had compassion upon them, So shall they be as though I had not rejected them, —for, I, Yahweh, will be their God, and will 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 they shall be as the mighty one of Ephraim, and their heart, shall rejoice, as through wine, —yea, their children, shall see and rejoice, their heart, shall exult, in Yahweh.

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 will signal for them, and will gather them, because I have ransomed them, —and they shall multiply, according as they have 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.

Though I scatter them among the peoples, yet, in places far away, shall they remember me, —and they shall live with their children, and shall return;

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 will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and, out of Assyria, will I gather them, —and, into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, will I bring them, and [room] shall not be found for them:

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.

Though he pass through a sea of affliction, yet shall he smite the sea, with its waves, and the roaring depths of the Nile, shall appear dry, —So shall be brought down the pride of Assyria, and, the sceptre of Egypt, shall depart;

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 will make them mighty in Yahweh, and, in his name, shall they march to and fro, —Declareth Yahweh.
