撒迦利亞

第 10 章

1. 當春雨的時候、你們要向發閃電的耶和華求雨．他必為眾人降下甘霖、使田園生長菜蔬。
Ask the LORD for rain in the springtime; it is the LORD who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone.
2. 因為家神所言的是虛空、卜士所見的是虛假、作夢者所說的是假夢．他們白白的安慰人．所以眾人如羊流離、因無牧人就受苦。
The idols speak deceit, diviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep oppressed for lack of a shepherd.
3. 我的怒氣向牧人發作、我必懲罰公山羊．因我萬軍之耶和華眷顧自己的羊群、就是猶大家、必使他們如駿馬在陣上。
"My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders; for the LORD Almighty will care for his flock, the house of Judah, and make them like a proud horse in battle.
4. 房角石、釘子、爭戰的弓、和一切掌權的、都從他而出。
From Judah will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler.
5. 他們必如勇士、在陣上將仇敵踐踏在街上的泥土中．他們必爭戰、因為耶和華與他們同在．騎馬的也必羞愧。
Together they will be like mighty men trampling the muddy streets in battle. Because the LORD is with them, they will fight and overthrow the horsemen.
6. 我要堅固猶大家、拯救約瑟家、要領他們歸回．我要憐恤他們．他們必像未曾棄絕的一樣．都因我是耶和華他們的　神．我必應允他們的禱告。
"I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them. They will be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the LORD their God and I will answer them.
7. 以法蓮人必如勇士．他們心中暢快如同喝酒．他們的兒女必看見而快活．他們的心必因耶和華喜樂。
The Ephraimites will become like mighty men, 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. 我要發𠖎聲、聚集他們．因我已經救贖他們．他們的人數必加增、如從前加增一樣。
I will signal for them and gather them in. Surely I will redeem them; they will be as numerous as before.
9. 我雖然〔或作必〕播散他們在列國中、他們必在遠方記念我．他們與兒女都必存活、且得歸回。
Though I scatter them among the peoples, yet in distant lands they will remember me. They and their children will survive, and they will return.
10. 我必再領他們出埃及地、招聚他們出亞述、領他們到基列和利巴嫩．這地尚且不彀他們居住。
I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon, and there will not be room enough for them.
11. 耶和華必經過苦海、擊打海浪、使尼羅河的深處都枯乾．亞述的驕傲、必至卑微．埃及的權柄必然滅沒。
They will pass through the sea of trouble; the surging sea will be subdued and all the depths of the Nile will dry up. Assyria's pride will be brought down and Egypt's scepter will pass away.
12. 我必使他們倚靠我、得以堅固．一舉一動必奉我的名．這是耶和華說的。
I will strengthen them in the LORD and in his name they will walk," declares the LORD.
