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 for rain from Yahweh in the season of the spring rain— Yahweh who makes thunderstorms— and he gives rain showers to everyone and vegetation 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 household idols speak falsely; the diviners envision a lie; they tell deceitful dreams and give empty comfort, so they wander like sheep and suffer 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.
“My wrath burns against the shepherds; it is the male goats—the leaders—that I will punish. Yahweh of hosts will also attend to his flock, the house of Judah, and make them like his warhorse in 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 Judah will come the cornerstone; from him will come the tent peg; from him will come the war bow; from him will come every ruler 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.
They will be like warriors who trample their enemies into the mud of the streets in battle; they will make war, for Yahweh is with them, and they will shame those who ride warhorses.
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.
I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph; for I will restore them and have mercy on them. They will be as though I had not cast them off, for I am Yahweh their God, and I will respond to 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.
Then Ephraim will be like a warrior, and their hearts will rejoice as with wine; their children will see and rejoice. Their hearts will rejoice in me!
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 whistle for them and gather them, for I will rescue them, and they will become as great as they previously were!
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
I sowed them among the peoples, but they will remember me in distant countries, so they and their children will live and 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
For I will restore them from the land of Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to the land of Gilead and Lebanon until there is no more room 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.
I will pass through the sea of their affliction; I will strike the waves of that sea and will dry up all the depths of the Nile. The majesty of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will go away from the Egyptians.
12 Dia hampahereziko ao amin’ i Jehovah izy, Ka ny anarany no handehanany, hoy Jehovah.
I will strengthen them in myself, and they will walk in my name—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
