Cakarijas 10
1 Lūdziet lietu no Tā Kunga vēlajā lietus laikā! Tas Kungs rada zibeņus; Viņš tiem dos lietus papilnam ikkatrai zālei laukā.
Ask Yahweh to cause rain to fall (in the springtime/before the hot season starts), [because] he is the one who makes the clouds [from which the rain falls]. He causes showers to fall on us, and he causes crops to grow well in the fields.
2 Jo dievekļi runā nelietību, un zīlnieki rauga viltību un runā melu sapņus un iepriecina ar niekiem. Tādēļ tie maldās kā avis, tie ir nospaidīti, jo tur nav gana.
[What people think that] the idols in their houses suggest [is only] nonsense, and people who [say that they can] interpret dreams tell [only] lies. When they [tell people things to] comfort [them, what they say] is useless, so the people [who (consult/trust in) them] are like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no [one to protect them] [like] [MET] a shepherd [protects his sheep].
3 Pret tiem ganiem Mana bardzība iedegusies, un tos āžus Es piemeklēšu. Jo Tas Kungs Cebaot piemeklē Savu ganāmo pulku, Jūda namu, un to ieceļ Sev par goda zirgu karā.
[Yahweh says, ] “I am angry with the leaders [MET] of my people, and I will punish them. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, take care of my people, the people of Judah, [like a shepherd takes care of his] [MET] flock, and I will cause them to be like [SIM] proud/powerful war horses.
4 No viņa iznāks stūra akmens, nagla, kara stops un visi valdnieki līdz.
From Judah will come rulers [who will be very important], [like] [MET] a cornerstone is [the most important stone for a house], [like] [MET] a tent peg [is very important for a tent], [like] [MET] a bow [is very important for (an archer/a man who shoots arrows]).
5 Un tie būs kā varoņi, kas kaušanā samin ielas dubļus, un tie kausies, jo Tas Kungs būs ar viņiem, un tie liks kaunā zirgu jājējus.
They will all be like [SIM] mighty warriors trampling [their enemies] in the mud during a battle. [I, ] Yahweh, will be with them, so they will fight and defeat their enemies who ride on horses.
6 Un Es stiprināšu Jūda namu un atpestīšu Jāzepa namu, un Es tos atkal iestādīšu, jo Es par tiem esmu apžēlojies, un tie būs, tā kā Es tos nebūtu atmetis, jo Es esmu Tas Kungs, viņu Dievs, un tos paklausīšu.
I will cause the people [MTY] of Judah to become strong, and I will rescue the people [MTY] of Israel. I will bring them back [from the countries to which they were (exiled/forced to go)]; [I will do that] because I pity them. Then they will be as though I had not abandoned them, because I am Yahweh, their God, and I will answer them [when they pray for help].
7 Un Efraīms būs kā varonis un viņa sirds priecāsies kā no vīna. Un viņa bērni to redzēdami līksmosies, viņu sirds priecāsies iekš Tā Kunga.
The people of Israel will be like [SIM] strong soldiers; they will be as happy as [people who have drunk a lot of] wine. Their children will see [their fathers being very happy], and they [also] will be happy because of what Yahweh [has done for them].
8 Un Es tos ataicināšu un sapulcēšu, jo Es tos gribu izpestīt, un tie vairosies, kā tie citkārt vairojās.
I will signal for my people [to return from (being exiled/other countries)], and I will gather them together [in their own country]. I will rescue them, and they will become very numerous like [they were] previously.
9 Un Es tos sēšu starp tautām, un tie Mani pieminēs tālās zemēs, un tie dzīvos ar saviem bērniem un atgriezīsies.
I have caused them to be scattered among many people-groups, but in those distant countries they will think about me again. They and their children will remain alive and return [to Judah].
10 Un Es tos atvedīšu no Ēģiptes zemes un tos sapulcināšu no Asīrijas un tos vedīšu uz Gileāda zemi un Tībanu, ka viņam nepietiks vietas.
I will bring them [back] from Egypt and from Assyria; I will bring them [back] from the Gilead and Lebanon [regions], and there will hardly be enough [HYP] space for them all [to live in Judah].
11 Un viņš iet caur bēdu jūru un sit viļņus jūrā, un visi upes dziļumi izsīks; tad Asura lepnība taps nogāzta, un Ēģiptes scepteris zudīs.
They will endure/experience many difficulties [as though they were walking] [MET] through a sea, but [I] will calm the waves of the sea; the Nile [River which is usually] deep will dry up. [I] will defeat the proud [soldiers of] Assyria, and [I will cause] Egypt to no longer be powerful [MTY].
12 Un Es tos stiprināšu iekš Tā Kunga, un tie staigās Viņa vārdā, saka Tas Kungs.
I will enable my people to be strong, and they will honor me and obey [IDM] me. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
