< Zakaria 10 >
1 Mangataha ranonorana amin’ i Jehovah ianareo amin’ ny andro fara-orana, Dia amin’ i Jehovah, Izay manao ny helatra; Ranonorana mivatravatra no homeny azy, Eny, samy homeny ny zava-maitso any an-tsaha ireny.
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 Fa ny sampy niteny zava-poana, Ary ny mpanao fankatovana nahita lainga Ka nilaza nofy lainga, Foana ny nampiononany; Koa izany no naniavany toy ny ondry Ory izy, satria tsy misy mpiandry.
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 Amin’ ny mpiandry ondry no irehetan’ ny fahatezerako, Ary ireo osilahy no hovaliako; Fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, efa namangy ny taranak’ i Joda ondriny Ka manao azy toy ny soavaliny miravaka eo amin’ ny ady.
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 Avy ao aminy no hihavian’ ny fehizoro, Avy ao aminy no hihavian’ ny fihantonan-javatra, Avy ao aminy no hihavian’ ny tsipìka fiadiana, Avy ao aminy no hihavian’ ny mpampahory rehetra.
From him shall come forth the corner stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor together.
5 Ary ho toy ny lehilahy mahery ireo, Izay manitsaka ny fotaka eny an-dalana amin’ ny ady, Hiady izy, satria Jehovah no momba azy; Ary homenarina ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly.
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 Hampahery ny taranak’ i Joda Aho, Ary ny taranak’ i Josefa hovonjeko ka hampodiko, Satria mamindra fo aminy Aho, Ka ho toy izay tsy nariako izy; Fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamaniny ka hihaino azy.
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 Ho toy ny lehilahy mahery Efraima, Ary hifaly toy ny azon’ ny divay ny fony; Ny zanany hahita ka ho faly; Hifaly amin’ i Jehovah ny fony.
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 Hisiaka hiantso azy Aho ka hanangona azy, Fa efa nanavotra azy Aho; Ka dia mbola hihamaro toy ny efa nihamaroany ihany izy.
I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9 Ary hafafiko any amin’ ny firenena izy, Ka any amin’ ny tany lavitra no hahatsiarovany Ahy; Ary samy ho velona izy mbamin’ ny zanany ka hiverina
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 Dia hampody azy avy any amin’ ny tany Egypta Aho sy hanangona azy avy any Asyria; Ary ho any amin’ ny tany Gileada sy Libanona no hitondrako azy, Ka tsy ho omby azy izany
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 Dia hamaky ny ranomasim-pahoriana izy ka hamely ny onjan-dranomasina, Ho ritra ny rano lalin’ i Neily rehetra, Haetry ny avonavon’ i Asyria, Ary hiala ny tehina fanapahan’ i Egypta.
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 Dia hampahereziko ao amin’ i Jehovah izy, Ka ny anarany no handehanany, hoy Jehovah.
And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
