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.

Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass 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 idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was 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 anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his majestic horse in the battle.

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

Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

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

And they shall be as mighty men, who tread 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 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 bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and 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 of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.

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

I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.

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

And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.

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.

I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for 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 shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.

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

And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
