< Zacarias 10 >
1 Pedi ao Senhor chuva no tempo da serodia: o Senhor faz relampagos, e lhes dará chuveiro de agua, e herva no campo a cada um.
Ask ye of the Lord rain in the latter season, and the Lord will make snows, and will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
2 Porque os teraphins teem fallado vaidade, e os adivinhos teem visto mentira, e fallam sonhos vãos; com vaidade consolam, por isso se foram como ovelhas, foram afflictos, porque não havia pastor.
For the idols have spoken what was unprofitable, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreamers have spoken vanity: they comforted in vain: therefore they were led away as a dock: they shall be afflicted, because they have no shepherd.
3 Contra os pastores se accendeu a minha ira, e visitarei os bodes; mas o Senhor dos Exercitos visitará o seu rebanho, a casa de Judah, e os fará ser como o cavallo da sua magestade na peleja.
My wrath is kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit upon the buck goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Juda, and hath made them as the horse of his glory in the battle.
4 D'elle a pedra de esquina, d'elle a estaca, d'elle o arco de guerra, d'elle juntamente sairão todos os exactores.
Out of him shall come forth the corner, out of him the pin, out of him the bow of battle, out of him every exacter together.
5 E serão como valentes que pelo lodo das ruas entram na peleja, e pelejarão; porque o Senhor estará com elles, e envergonharão aos que andam montados em cavallos.
And they shall be as mighty men, treading under foot the mire of the ways in battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders of horses shall be confounded.
6 E fortalecerei a casa de Judah, e salvarei a casa de José, e tornarei a plantal-os, porque me apiedei d'elles: e serão como se os não tivera rejeitado; porque eu sou o Senhor seu Deus, e os ouvirei.
And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph: and I will bring them back again, because I will have mercy on them: and they shall be as they were when I had cast them off, for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.
7 E os de Ephraim serão como um valente, e o seu coração se alegrará como de vinho, e seus filhos o verão, e se alegrarão; o seu coração se regozijará no Senhor.
And they shall be as the valiant men of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: and their children shall see, and shall rejoice, and their heart shall be joyful in the Lord.
8 Eu lhes assobiarei, e os ajuntarei, porque eu os tenho remido, e multiplicar-se-hão, assim como antes se tinham multiplicado.
I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed them: and I will multiply them as they were multiplied before.
9 E eu os semearei por entre os povos, e lembrar-se-hão de mim em logares remotos; e viverão com seus filhos, e voltarão.
And I will sow them among peoples: and from afar they shall remember me: and they shall live with their children, and shall return.
10 Porque eu os farei voltar da terra do Egypto, e os congregarei da Assyria; e tral-os-hei á terra de Gilead e do Libano, e não se achará logar para elles.
And I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and will gather them from among the Assyrians: and will bring them to the land of Galaad, and Libanus, and place shall not be found for them.
11 E elle passará o mar com angustia, e ferirá as ondas no mar, e todas as profundezas dos rios se seccarão: então será derribada a soberba da Assyria, e o sceptro do Egypto se retirará.
And he shall pass over the strait of the sea, and shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river shall be confounded, and the pride of Assyria shall be humbled, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.
12 E eu os fortalecerei no Senhor, e andarão no seu nome, diz o Senhor.
I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name, saith the Lord.
