< 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 ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain, even of the LORD that maketh lightnings; and He will give them showers of rain, to every one grass 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 the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreams speak falsely, they comfort in vain; therefore they go their way like sheep, they are afflicted, because there is no 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.
Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for the LORD of hosts hath remembered His flock the house of Judah, and maketh them as His majestic horse in the 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.
Out of them shall come forth the corner-stone, out of them the stake, out of them the battle bow, out of them every master 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.
And they shall be as mighty men, treading down in the mire of the streets in the battle, and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them; and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
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.
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back, for I have compassion upon them, and they shall be as though I had not cast them off; for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear 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.
And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine; yea, their children shall see it, and rejoice, their heart shall be glad 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 hiss for them, and gather them, for I have redeemed them; and they shall increase as they have increased.
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.
And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember Me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and shall 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 also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not suffice 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.
And over the sea affliction shall pass, and the waves shall be smitten in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
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.
And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in His name, saith the LORD.
