Zacarías 10
1 Pidan a Yavé la lluvia en la estación tardía. Yavé, Quien hace las nubes tormentosas, enviará relámpagos y les dará lluvias abundantes y hierba verde en el campo de cada uno.
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 Pero los ídolos domésticos prometen en vano, los adivinos ven mentiras, anuncian sueños falsos, y su consuelo es vano. Por lo cual el pueblo vaga como ovejas afligidas, porque no hay pastor.
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 Mi ira se encendió contra los pastores, castigaré a los machos cabríos. Yavé de las huestes visitará su rebaño, la Casa de Judá, y hará de ella su corcel real en la batalla.
Mine 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 goodly horse in the battle.
4 De ella saldrá la Piedra Angular, la estaca, el arco de guerra y todo caudillo.
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 Juntos serán como valientes que en la batalla pisan el lodo de las calles. Combatirán porque Yavé estará con ellos. Los jinetes serán avergonzados.
And they shall be as mighty men, which 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 Porque Yo fortaleceré la Casa de Judá y daré la victoria a la casa de José, los haré regresar, pues tendré compasión de ellos. Serán como si no fueron desechados, porque Yo soy Yavé su ʼElohim, y los escucharé.
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 Efraín será como un valiente, y su corazón se alegrará como con vino. Sus hijos lo mirarán y se alegrarán. Su corazón se regocijará en Yavé.
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 Los reuniré con un silbo, porque los redimí. Serán tan numerosos como antes.
I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9 Yo los sembré entre las naciones. En lejanos países se acordarán de Mí. Criarán allí a sus hijos, pero regresarán.
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 Los devolveré de la tierra de Egipto, los reuniré desde Asiria y los traeré a la tierra de Galaad y el Líbano, hasta que no se halle sitio para ellos.
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 Pasarán por el mar de la angustia. Él golpeará las ondas del mar, de tal modo que todas las profundidades del Nilo se secarán. La altivez de Asiria será abatida y desaparecerá el cetro de Egipto.
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 away.
12 Yo los fortaleceré en Yavé, Palabra de Yavé, y andarán en su Nombre.
And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.
