< Zechariah 10 >
1 Ẹ béèrè òjò nígbà àrọ̀kúrò ni ọwọ́ Olúwa; Olúwa tí o dá mọ̀nàmọ́ná, tí ó sì fi ọ̀pọ̀ òjò fún ènìyàn, fún olúkúlùkù koríko ní pápá.
Ask the LORD for rain in springtime; the LORD makes the storm clouds, and He will give everyone showers of rain and crops in the field.
2 Nítorí àwọn òrìṣà tí sọ̀rọ̀ asán, àwọn aláfọ̀ṣẹ sì tí rí èké, wọn sì tí rọ àlá èké; wọ́n ń tu ni nínú lásán, nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn náà ṣáko lọ bí àgùntàn, a ṣẹ wọn níṣẹ̀ẹ́, nítorí Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kò sí.
For idols speak deceit and diviners see illusions; they tell false dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore the people wander like sheep, oppressed for lack of a shepherd.
3 “Ìbínú mi ru sí àwọn darandaran, èmi o sì jẹ àwọn olórí ní yà nítorí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti bẹ agbo rẹ̀, ilé Juda wò, yóò sì fi wọn ṣe ẹṣin rẹ̀ dáradára ní ogun.
“My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders. For the LORD of Hosts attends to His flock, the house of Judah; He will make them like His royal steed in battle.
4 Láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni òkúta igun ilé ti jáde wá, láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ ni èèkàn àgọ́ tí wá, láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ ni ọrún ogun tí wá, láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ ni àwọn akóniṣiṣẹ́ gbogbo tí wá.
The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.
5 Gbogbo wọn yóò sì dàbí ọkùnrin alágbára ni ogun tí ń tẹ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn mọ́lẹ̀ ní ìgboro, wọn ó sì jagun, nítorí Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú wọn, wọn ó sì dààmú àwọn tí ń gun ẹṣin.
They will be like mighty men in battle, trampling the enemy in the mire of the streets. They will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put the horsemen to shame.
6 “Èmi o sì mú ilé Juda ní agbára, èmi o sì gba ilé Josẹfu là, èmi ó sì tún mú wọn padà nítorí mo tí ṣàánú fún wọn, ó sì dàbí ẹni pé èmi kò ì tì í ta wọ́n nù; nítorí èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn, èmi o sì gbọ́ tiwọn
I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had not rejected them. For I am the LORD their God, and I will answer them.
7 Efraimu yóò sì ṣe bí alágbára, ọkàn wọn yóò sì yọ̀ bi ẹni pé nípa ọtí wáìnì: àní àwọn ọmọ wọn yóò rí í, wọn o sì yọ̀, inú wọn ó sì dùn nínú Olúwa.
Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their hearts will be glad as with wine. Their children will see it and be joyful; their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.
8 Èmi ó kọ sí wọn, èmi ó sì ṣà wọ́n jọ; nítorí èmi tí rà wọ́n padà; wọn ó sì pọ̀ sí i gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n tí ń pọ̀ sí í rí.
I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.
9 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé mo tú wọn káàkiri orílẹ̀-èdè: síbẹ̀ wọn ó sì rántí mi ni ilẹ̀ jíjìn; wọn ó sì gbé pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ wọn, wọn ó sì tún padà.
Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.
10 Èmi ó sì tún mú wọn padà kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti pẹ̀lú, èmi ó sì ṣà wọn jọ kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Asiria. Èmi ó sì mú wọn wá sí ilẹ̀ Gileadi àti Lebanoni; a kì yóò sì rí ààyè fún wọn bí ó ti yẹ.
I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon until no more room is found for them.
11 Wọn yóò sì la Òkun wàhálà já, yóò sì bori rírú omi nínú Òkun, gbogbo ibú odò ni yóò sì gbẹ, a ó sì rẹ ìgbéraga Asiria sílẹ̀, ọ̀pá aládé Ejibiti yóò sí lọ kúrò.
They will pass through the sea of distress and strike the waves of the sea; all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
12 Èmi ó sì mú wọn ní agbára nínú Olúwa; wọn ó sì rìn sókè rìn sódò ni orúkọ rẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,”
