Zakaria 10
1 Ihalalio orañe am’ Iehovà, oran-doha-taoñe am’ Iehovà mpitsene i helatsey; vaho hampikojojoaha’e orañe, fonga ondaty ty amo mitiry an-tete’eo.
Ask from the Lord rain at the time of the latter rain, [from] the Lord who maketh lightning-clouds: and he will give unto them showers of rain, to every herb in the field.
2 Fa mikora aman-tahiñe o ambiasao, naho mahaonim-bande o mpisikilio, mivolam-bìlañe ka o nofio, tsy jefa’e ty fañohò’ iareo; aa le mirererere hoe añondry iereo, misotry fa tsy amam-piarake.
For the Theraphim speak vanity, and the diviners foresee a lie, and those that have dreams speak what is false, with nought do they comfort: therefore do they move about like a flock, they bleat, because [they have] no shepherd.
3 Misolebotse amo mpiarakeo ty habosehako, le ho liloveko o ose-lahio; fa tiahi’ Iehovà’ i Màroy i lia-rai’ey, i anjomba’ Iehoday ie hanoe’e hoe soavalam-bolonahe’e an-kotakotak’ ao.
Against the shepherds is my anger kindled, and on the he-goats will I inflict punishment; for the Lord of hosts thinketh of his flock, the house of Judah, and maketh them as his elegant horse in the battle.
4 Boak’am’ iareo ty vato-lahy, hirik’am’ iereo ty fantake, boak’am’ iereo ty falen-kotakotake, vaho hirik’am’ iereo ao ze mpameleke—hiharo
Out of him cometh forth the corner [-stone], out of him the tent-nail, out of him the battle-bow, out of him every ruler [of others] together.
5 hoe fanalolahy iereo, ho lialia’ iereo am-potak’ an-dalañe ao t’ie mihotakotake naho mifandraparapake, fa mindre am’ iereo t’Iehovà vaho hifandrakaraka o mpiningi-tsoavalao.
And they shall be like 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 made ashamed.
6 Hampaozareko ty anjomba’ Iehodà, naho ho rombaheko ty anjomba’ Iosefe, hampoliko fa iferenaiñako, vaho hanahake t’ie tsy nahifiko añe, amy te izaho Iehovà t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo, le ho toiñeko.
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and the house of Joseph will I save, and I will bring them again to their own homes; for I have mercy upon them, and they shall be as though I had never cast them off; for I am the Lord their God, and I will answer their prayer.
7 Hanahake ondaty manjofakeo t’i Efraime, le hirebeke ty arofo’ iareo hoe an-divay; Eka hahaisake izay o ana’eo vaho handia-taroba, hifale am’ Iehovà ty arofo’ iareo.
And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as though from wine: and their children shall see it, and be rejoiced; their heart shall be glad in the Lord.
8 Ho tsikaoreko, naho hatontoko, amy t’ie nijebañeko, ie hitombo ho mira ami’ty hamaro’e taolo.
I will call for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased [formerly].
9 Ie aparatsiako amo fifeheañeo, le hahatiahy ahy an-tsietoitane añe; naho ho veloñe iereo naho o ana’ iareoo, vaho himpoly.
And when I shall have scattered them among the people, they will remember me in the far-off countries: therefore shall they live with their children, and return again.
10 Hampoliko boak’an-tane Mitsraime, naho hatontoko boak’ Asore añe; vaho hendeseko mb’an-tane Gilade naho mb’e Libanone mb’eo; ampara’ te tsy tsahatse i toetsey.
And I will bring them back again out of the land of Egypt, and out of Assyria will I gather them; and into the land of Gil'ad and Lebanon will I bring them, and it shall not be sufficient for them.
11 Ho sorohe’e i ria-kaloviloviañey, ho fofohe’e o onjan-driakeo, le ho maike o godobo’ i sakaio, naho hafotsake ty enge’ i Asore vaho hipitsok’ añe ty kobai’ i Mitsraime.
And he will pass through the sea [with] distress, and he will smite in the sea the waves, and there shall dry up all the deeps of the stream: and there shall be brought down the pride of Assyria, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
12 Hampaozareko am’ Iehovà iereo vaho i tahina’ey ty hidraidraita’ iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and in his name shall they ever walk, saith the Lord.
