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 of Yahweh rain in the spring time, Yahweh who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants 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 oppressed, 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.
My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats, for Yahweh of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic 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 will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him 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 as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle. They will fight, because Yahweh is with them. The riders on horses will 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
“I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, for I have mercy on them. They will be as though I had not cast them off, for I am Yahweh 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.
Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine. Yes, their children will see it and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in Yahweh.
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 signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were before.
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.
I will sow them among the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will 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. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there won’t be room enough 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.
He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and 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 Yahweh. They will walk up and down in his name,” says Yahweh.
