Zakkaariyaas 10
1 Yeroo bokkaa isa booddeetti akka inni bokkaa isiniif kennuuf Waaqayyoon kadhadhaa; bakakkaa kan ergu Waaqayyoo dha. Inni bokkaa lolaʼu nama hundaaf, biqiltuu dirree immoo tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif ni kenna.
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 Waaqonni tolfamoon gowwoomsaa dubbatu; raajonni mulʼata sobaa argu; isaan abjuu sobaa namatti himu; waan faayidaa hin qabneen nama jajjabeessu. Kanaafuu sabni kun akkuma hoolaa tiksee hin qabnee hacuucamee asii fi achi joora.
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 “Aariin koo tiksootatti bobaʼeera; ani reʼoota nan adaba; Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu bushaayee isaa, mana Yihuudaa ni toʼata; lola keessattis akka farda jabaa isaan taasisa.
“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 Yihuudaa keessaa dhagaan golee, isa keessaa qofoon dunkaanaa, isa keessaa iddaan lolaa, isa keessaa bulchaan hundi ni dhufa.
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 Isaan akkuma namoota jajjaboo waraana keessatti tokkummaadhaan daandii dhoqqee irra deemu. Sababii Waaqayyo isaan wajjin jiruuf isaan lolanii abbootii fardeenii qaanessu.
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 “Ani mana Yihuudaa nan jajjabeessa; mana Yoosefis nan oolcha. Ani waanan garaa isaaniif laafuuf deebisee isaan nan dhaaba. Isaan akkuma waan ani duraanuu isaan hin gatinii taʼu; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii ti; deebiis isaaniif nan kenna.
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 Efreemonni akkuma namoota jajjaboo taʼu; garaan isaaniis akkuma nama daadhii wayiniitiin gammaduu ni gammada. Ijoolleen isaanii waan kana arganii ni gammadu; garaan isaanii Waaqayyootti ni gammada.
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 Ani siiqsee walitti isaan nan qaba. Ani dhugumaan isaan nan fura; isaan akkuma duraa sana ni baayʼatu.
I will whistle for them and gather them, for I will rescue them, and they will become as great as they previously were!
9 Yoo ani saboota gidduutti isaan bittinneesse iyyuu isaan biyya fagootti na yaadatu. Isaanii fi ijoolleen isaanii lubbuudhaan ni jiraatu; ni deebiʼus.
I sowed them among the peoples, but they will remember me in distant countries, so they and their children will live and return.
10 Ani biyya Gibxiitii deebisee isaan nan fida; Asoor keessaas walittin isaan qaba. Ani gara Giliʼaadii fi Libaanoonitti isaan nan fida; iddoon isaan gaʼus hin argamu.
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 Inni galaana rakkinaa keessa darba; dhaʼaa galaanaas ni rukuta; tuujubawwan Abbayyaa hundinuu ni gogu. Of tuulummaan Asoor gad deebiʼa; bokkuun mootummaa Gibxis ni bada.
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 Ani Waaqayyoon isaan nan jabeessa; isaanis maqaa isaatiin deddeebiʼu” jedha Waaqayyo.
I will strengthen them in myself, and they will walk in my name—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
