Zechariah 10

Tražite od Jahve dažda u vrijeme proljetno! Jahve stvara munje i daje kišu; čovjeku kruh daje, a stoci travu.

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.

Lažno bajaju kumiri, prijevaru vide gatari, obmanu govore snovi, varljivu utjehu daju, zato kao stado blude ljudi, lutaju jer nemaju pastira.

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.

Moj je gnjev planuo na pastire, i ja ću kaznom pohodit jarce. Da, Jahve nad Vojskama pohodit će stado svoje, dom Judin. I učinit će da budu k'o gizdav konj u boju:

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.

od njega će poteći kamen zaglavni, klin šatorski, od njega ubojit luk, od njega sve vođe.

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

Bit će zajedno kao junaci što u boju gaze kao po blatu uličnom; vojevat će, jer Jahve je s njima, i osramotit će one koji konje jašu.

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.

"Ojačat ću dom Judin, spasiti dom Josipov. Opet ću ih naseliti, žao mi ih, i bit će kao da ih nisam odbacio, jer ja sam Jahve, Bog njihov - uslišat ću ih."

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.

Efrajimci bit će kao junaci i radostit će im se srce kao od vina: vidjet će sinove svoje i veseliti se, u Jahvi će klicati srce njihovo.

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.

"Zazviždat ću im i sabrati ih, jer ja sam ih izbavio, bit će opet brojni kao što bjehu.

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

Rasijao sam ih među narode, ali će se oni u zemljama dalekim spomenuti mene, poučit će svoje sinove, i oni će se vratiti.

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.

Vratit ću ih iz zemlje egipatske, sabrat ću ih iz Asirije i dovest ih u zemlju gileadsku i na Libanon, i neće biti dosta mjesta za njih."

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.

Prijeći će more egipatsko, jer on će udariti valove morske, sve dubine Nila presahnut će. Bit će oboren ponos Asirije, oduzeto žezlo Egiptu.

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.

U Jahvi će biti snaga njihova, njegovim će se oni proslavit imenom - riječ je Jahvina.

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