Zechariah 10

1 Siyuk sin LEUM GOD in oasr af ke pacl ma mutawauk in fusrfusr lun yac uh. Tuh LEUM GOD pa supu pukunyeng in af ac af sringsring uh, ac oru in folfol sroan acn uh nu sin mwet nukewa.

Ask the Lord for rain in springtime, for he makes the rainclouds and sends showers to grow crops for everyone.

2 Mwet uh orek lolngok nu sin ma sruloala ac mwet susfa, tusruktu top nu selos uh kikiap mukena ac wangin sripa. Kutu mwet uh aketeya mweme uh, tuh ma na in kiapu mwet, a kas in akwoye ma elos sang nu sin mwet uh wanginna sripa. Oru mwet uh forfor wel oana sheep tuhlac uh. Elos muta in ongoiya mweyen wangin mwet kol lalos.

Household idols give worthless answers, fortune-tellers tell lies, while interpreters of dreams just make things up and offer only false hope. As a result, people wander aimlessly like sheep, suffering because there is no shepherd.

3 Ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga kasrkusrak sin mwetsac ingo su leumi mwet luk, ac nga ac kalyaelos. Mwet Judah elos mwet luk, ac nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, fah karinganulosyang. Elos ac fah oana horse in mweun kulana luk.

I am angry with the shepherds, I will punish the leaders. For the Lord Almighty cares for his flock, the people of Judah, and will make them like his splendid warhorse.

4 Na ac fah oasr mwet leum, mwet kol, ac leum fulat lun mwet mweun tuku liki inmasrlolos in tuh liyaung mwet luk.

From the people of Judah will come the cornerstone, from them the tent-peg, the bow used in battle—all their rulers together.

5 Mwet Judah ac fah kutangla oana mwet mweun su lolongya mwet lokoalok lalos nu in fohk furarrar inkanek uh. Elos ac fah mweun mweyen LEUM GOD El welulos, na finne mwet lokoalok ma kasrusr fin horse uh, elos ac fah kutangyukla pac.

They will be like warriors going into battle, trampling their enemies in the mud. Because the Lord is with them they will fight and defeat the enemy cavalry.

6 “Nga ac fah oru mwet Judah in ku in mano; Nga ac molela mwet Israel. Ac fah oasr pakomuta luk nu selos, Ac nga fah folokunulosme nukewa nu yen selos. Elos ac fah muta yuruk oana in wanginna pacl nga tuh siselosla meet. Nga pa LEUM GOD lalos; ac nga fah topuk pre lalos.

I will strengthen the people of Judah; I will save the people of Joseph. I will bring them back home because I am concerned for them. It will be like I had never rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and I will answer their cries for help.

7 Mwet Israel elos ac fah fokoko oana mwet mweun uh, Ac engan oana luman mwet nim wain uh. Fwilin tulik natulos ac fah esam kutangla se inge, Ac engan ke sripen ma LEUM GOD El oru.

The people of Ephraim will become like warriors, and they will become so happy—as if they had drunk wine. Their children will see what is happening and will be glad too, joyful in the Lord.

8 “Nga fah pangon mwet luk Ac eisaloseni nu sie. Nga fah loangelosla Ac oru elos in arulana pukanten oana meet ah.

I will whistle to them and they will run to me. I will rescue them, and there will be as many as there were before.

9 Nga ne akfahsryeloselik inmasrlon mutunfacl uh, Elos ac fah esamyu elos finne muta yen loessula. Elos ac tulik natulos ac fah painmoulla Ac tukeni foloko nu yen selos.

I have scattered them like seed among the nations, and in distant places they will remember me. They will bring up their children, and together they will return.

10 Nga fah usalosme liki acn Egypt ac acn Assyria nu yen selos, Ac oakelosi in facl selos sifacna. Nga fah oakelosi in acn Gilead oayapa in acn Lebanon. Acn we nufon ac fah sessesla ke mwet.

I will bring them back from the land of Egypt; I will gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon, and there won't be enough room for them!

11 Ke elos ac fahsr sasla in meoa lun ongoiya nu selos, Nga, LEUM GOD, ac fah sringilya noa uh, Ac acn loal lun infacl Nile ac fah paola. Mwet inse fulat lun Assyria ac fah akpusiselyeyukla, Ac acn Egypt su kulana, ac fah wanginla ku lal.

They will pass through the sea of trouble and strike the waves of the sea, and the waters of the Nile will dry up. Assyria's pride will be brought down, and Egypt's rule will pass away.

12 Nga fah oru mwet luk in arulana ku; Ac elos fah alu nu sik ac akosyu.” LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge.

I will make them strong in the Lord, and they will follow all he says, declares the Lord.
