Книга пророка Захарии 10

1 Просите от Господа дождя во время ранняго и поздняго: Господь сотвори привидения, и дождь зимен даст им, комуждо злак на селе.

Petition before the Lord for rain in the latter time, and the Lord will produce snows and will give showers of rain to them, to each blade in the field.

2 Зане провещающии глаголаша труды, и вражбителие видения ложна и сония лжива глаголаху, суетными утешаху: сего ради изсхоша яко овцы, и озлоблени быша, понеже не бе изцеления.

For the images have been speaking what is useless, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreamers have been speaking false hope: they have comforted in vain. For this reason, they have been led away like a flock; they will be afflicted, because they have no shepherd.

3 На пастырей прогневася ярость Моя, и на агнцы посещу: и посетит Господь Бог Вседержитель стадо Свое, дом Иудин, и учинит я аки коня благолепна Своего во брани.

My fury has been kindled over the shepherds, and I will visit upon the he-goats. For the Lord of hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and he has set them like the horse of his glory in the war.

4 И от него призре, и от него учини, и от него лук в дусе ярости, и от него изыдет всяк изгоняяй в том.

From him will go forth the angle, from him the wooden peg, from him the bow of battle, from him every exactor at the same time.

5 И будут яко ратницы попирающе брение на путех во брани, и ополчатся, яко Господь с ними, и постыдятся всадницы коннии.

And they will be like the strong, trampling the mud of the ways in battle. And they will fight, for the Lord is with them. And the riders of the horses will be confounded.

6 И укреплю дом Иудов и дом Иосифов спасу, и вселю я, понеже возлюбих я, и будут аки бы не отвратих их: зане Аз Господь Бог их и услышу я.

And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will convert them, because I will have mercy on them. And they will be as they were when I had not cast them away. For I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.

7 И будут яко ратницы Ефремовы, и возрадуется сердце их аки от вина: и чада их увидят и возвеселятся, и возрадуется сердце их о Господе.

And they will be like the strong of Ephraim, and their heart will rejoice as if by wine, and their sons will see and will rejoice, and their heart will exult in the Lord.

8 Возвещу им и прииму я, зане искуплю их, и умножатся, якоже бяху мнози:

I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed them. And I will multiply them, as they had been multiplied before.

9 и всею я в людех, и дальнии помянут Мя, и воспитают чада своя, и обратятся:

And I will sow them among the peoples, and from far away they will remember me. And they will live with their sons, and they will return.

10 и возвращу я от земли Египетския и от Ассириан прииму я, и в Галаадит и в Ливан введу я, и не имать остати от них ни един.

And I will lead them back from the land of Egypt, and I will gather them from among the Assyrians, and I will lead them to the land of Gilead and Lebanon, and no place will be left that has not been found by them.

11 И пройдут морем узким и поразят в мори волны, и изсякнут вся глубины речныя, и отимется всяко досаждение Ассирийско, и скиптр Египетск отимется.

And he will pass over the narrow passage of the sea, and he will strike the waves of the sea, and all the depths of the river will be confounded, and the arrogance of Assyria will be brought low, and the scepter of Egypt will withdraw.

12 И укреплю я о Где Бозе их, и о имени Его восхвалятся, глаголет Господь.

I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they will walk in his name, says the Lord.
