< 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 ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain, [even of] the LORD that maketh lightnings; and he shall give them showers of rain, to every one grass 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 the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams, they comfort in vain: therefore they go their way like sheep, they are afflicted, because there is no 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.
Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and shall make them as his goodly horse in the 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.
From him shall come forth the corner stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor 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.
And they shall be as mighty men, treading 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 “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
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again, 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 I will hear 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.
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 rejoice; their heart shall be glad 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 hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
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.
And I will sow them among the peoples; and they shall remember me in far countries: and they shall live with their children, and shall 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 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 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.
And he shall pass through the sea of affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
12 Èmi ó sì mú wọn ní agbára nínú Olúwa; wọn ó sì rìn sókè rìn sódò ni orúkọ rẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
