< Zekaria 10 >

1 Kumbirai kuna Jehovha mvura yomunakamwe; Jehovha ndiye anogadzira makore edutu. Anonayisa mvura kuvanhu, uye anopa zvirimwa zveminda kuno mumwe nomumwe.
Ask you of the Lord rain in season, the early and the latter: the Lord has given bright signs, and will give them abundant rain, to every one grass in the field.
2 Zvifananidzo zvinotaura zvounyengeri, vavuki vanoona zviratidzo zvenhema; vanotaura zviroto zvenhema, vanopa varaidzo pasina. Nokudaro vanhu vanodzungaira samakwai anomanikidzwa nokuda kwokushayiwa mufudzi.
For the speakers have uttered grievous things, and the diviners [have ] [seen] false visions, and they have spoken false dreams, they have given vain comfort: therefore have they fallen away like sheep, and been afflicted, because there was no healing.
3 “Kutsamwa kwangu kunomukira vafudzi, uye ndicharova vatungamiri, nokuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achava nehanya namakwai ake, imba yaJudha, uye achavaita sebhiza rinodadisa pakurwa.
Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit the lambs; and the Lord God Almighty shall visit his flock, the house of Juda, and he shall make them as his goodly horse in war.
4 Muna Judha muchabva ibwe rapakona, kubva maari mbambo yetende, kubva maari uta hwehondo, kubva maari vatungamiri vose.
And from him he looked, and from him he set [the battle in order], and from him [came] the bow in anger, [and] from him shall come forth every oppressor together.
5 Pamwe chete vachava savarume voumhare vanotsika migwagwa ina matope pakurwa. Nokuti Jehovha anavo, vacharwa vachakunda vatasvi vamabhiza.
And they shall be as warriors treading clay in the ways in war; and they shall set the battle in array, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.
6 “Ndichasimbisa imba yaJudha uye ndichaponesa imba yaJosefa. Ndichavadzosa nokuti ndinovanzwira tsitsi. Vachava savanhu vandakanga ndisina kuramba, nokuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wavo uye ndichavapindura.
And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph, and I will settle them; because I have loved them: and they shall be as [if] I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.
7 VaEfuremu vachava semhare, uye mwoyo yavo ichafara sevakabatwa newaini. Vana vavo vachazviona uye vachapembera; Mwoyo yavo ichafara muna Jehovha.
And they shall be as the warriors of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as with wine: and their children also shall see [it], and be glad; and their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
8 Ndichaninira kwavari ndigovaunganidza. Zvirokwazvo ndichavadzikinura, vachava vakawanda sakare.
I will make a sign to them, and gather them in; for I will redeem them, and they shall be multiplied according to their number before.
9 Kunyange ndikavaparadzira pakati pamarudzi, kunyange zvakadaro vachandirangarira vari kunyika dziri kure. Ivo navana vavo vachararama, uye vachadzoka.
And I will sow them amongst the people; and they that are afar off shall remember me: they shall nourish their children, and they shall return.
10 Ndichavauyisa kubva kuIjipiti uye ndichavaunganidza kubva kuAsiria. Ndichavauyisa kuGireadhi nokuRebhanoni, uye hakungazovi nenzvimbo yavanokwana.
And I will bring them again from the land of Egypt, and I will gather them in from amongst the Assyrians; and I will bring them into the land of Galaad and to Libanus; and there shall not even one of them be left behind.
11 Vachapfuura napagungwa rokutambudzika; mafungu egungwa achaderedzwa uye pakadzika pose muna Nairi pachapwa. Kuzvikudza kweAsiria kuchaparadzwa uye tsvimbo youshe yeIjipiti ichabviswa.
And they shall pass through a narrow sea, they shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the deep places of the rivers shall be dried up: and all the pride of the Assyrians shall be taken away, and the sceptre of Egypt shall be removed.
12 Ndichavasimbisa muna Jehovha uye muzita rake vachafamba,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
And I will strengthen them in the Lord their God; and they shall boast in his name, says the Lord.
