Zaccharias Propheta 10

1 petite a Domino pluviam in tempore serotino et Dominus faciet nives et pluviam imbris dabit eis singulis herbam in agro

Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain, [even of] the LORD that maketh lightnings; and he shall give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

2 quia simulacra locuta sunt inutile et divini viderunt mendacium et somniatores frustra locuti sunt vane consolabantur idcirco abducti sunt quasi grex adfligentur quia non est eis pastor

For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams, they comfort in vain: therefore they go their way like sheep, they are afflicted, because there is no shepherd.

3 super pastores iratus est furor meus et super hircos visitabo quia visitavit Dominus exercituum gregem suum domum Iuda et posuit eos quasi equum gloriae suae in bello

Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and shall make them as his goodly horse in the battle.

4 ex ipso angulus ex ipso paxillus ex ipso arcus proelii ex ipso egredietur omnis exactor simul

From him shall come forth the corner stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor together.

5 et erunt quasi fortes conculcantes lutum viarum in proelio et bellabunt quia Dominus cum eis et confundentur ascensores equorum

And they shall be as mighty men, treading down [their enemies] 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 et confortabo domum Iuda et domum Ioseph salvabo et convertam eos quia miserebor eorum et erunt sicut fuerunt quando non proieceram eos ego enim Dominus Deus eorum et exaudiam eos

And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again, for I have mercy 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 et erunt quasi fortes Ephraim et laetabitur cor eorum quasi a vino et filii eorum videbunt et laetabuntur et exultabit cor eorum in Domino

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 sibilabo eis et congregabo illos quia redemi eos et multiplicabo eos sicut ante fuerant multiplicati

I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.

9 et seminabo eos in populis et de longe recordabuntur mei et vivent cum filiis suis et revertentur

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 et reducam eos de terra Aegypti et de Assyriis congregabo eos et ad terram Galaad et Libani adducam eos et non invenietur eis locus

I will bring them again 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 be found for them.

11 et transibit in maris freto et percutiet in mari fluctus et confundentur omnia profunda Fluminis et humiliabitur superbia Assur et sceptrum Aegypti recedet

And he shall pass through the sea of affliction, and shall smite the waves 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 confortabo eos in Domino et in nomine eius ambulabunt dicit Dominus

And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
