Zekaraya 10
1 Rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị mmiri ozuzo nʼoge mmiri ozuzo nke ikpeazụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ezite oke amụma mmiri. Ọ bụ ya na-enye ụmụ mmadụ mmiri ozuzo, na-enyekwa mmadụ niile ihe ọkụkụ nke ubi.
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 Arụsị niile na-ekwu okwu aghụghọ, ndị na-agba aja nʼahụ ọhụ bụ ụgha, ndị ha na-arọ nrọ, na-akọwakwa nrọ ụgha, okwu nkasiobi nke ihe na-adịghị nʼime ya ka ha na-enye. Ya mere, ndị mmadụ na-akpagharị dịka atụrụ a na-akpagbu ha nʼihi enweghị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ.
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 “Iwe m na-ere ọkụ megide ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, aga m atakwa ndị ndu niile ahụhụ; nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-elekọta igwe anụ ụlọ ya, ya bụ ndị Juda, ọ ga-eme ka ha dịrị ka ịnyịnya dị ebube nʼagha.
“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 A ga-esi na Juda nweta nkume bụ ide ji ụlọ, a ga-esi na ha nweta ǹtu ụlọ ikwu, a ga-esi na ha nweta ụta a kwadoro maka agha, sitekwa na ha nweta ndị ndu dị iche iche.
The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.
5 Ha niile ga-ejikọta onwe ha ọnụ, dịka ndị bụ dike nʼagha, ha ga-azọda ndị iro ha nʼapịtị nke okporoụzọ niile. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere ha, ha ga-alụgbukwa ndị iro niile na-agba ịnyịnya.
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 “Aga m eme ka ụlọ Juda dị ike, zọpụtakwa ụlọ Josef. Aga m eme ka ha lọghachita, nʼihi na aga m egosi ha obi ebere. Ha ga-adị ka ndị m na-ajụghị mgbe ọbụla, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha, aga m azakwa arịrịọ ha.
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 Ndị Ifrem ga-aghọ ndị dị ike nʼagha, ha ga-enwe ọṅụ dịka ndị na-aṅụ mmanya. Ụmụ ha ga-ahụ ya ṅụrịakwa ọṅụ, ha ga-ejikwa obi ha niile ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
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 Mgbe ahụ, aga m akpọ ha oku, chịkọtaa ha. Nʼezie, aga m agbapụta ha, ha ga-adịkwa ukwuu dịka ha dị na mbụ.
I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.
9 A sịkwarị na m chụsara ha nʼetiti ndị dị iche iche, ma ha ga-echeta m site nʼala niile ahụ dị anya. Ha na ụmụ ha ga-adịkwa ndụ; ha ga-alọtakwa.
Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.
10 Aga m esi nʼala Ijipt kpọlata ha, sitekwa nʼAsịrịa chịkọtaa ha. Aga m akpọta ha na Gilead na Lebanọn. Ha agaghị enwekwa ebe ga-ezuru ha niile.
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 Ha ga-esi nʼosimiri nsogbu gafee. A ga-emekwa ka mmali elu nke osimiri dajụọ. Ebe obibi niile nke osimiri Naịl ga-atakọrọkwa. A ga-egbuda mpako niile nke Asịrịa, wezugakwa mkpara ọchịchị nke ndị Ijipt.
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 Aga m eme ka ha dị ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa nʼaha ya ka ha ga na-ejegharị nʼudo.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,”
