撒迦利亚

第 10 章

1. 当春雨的时候，你们要向发闪电的耶和华求雨。他必为众人降下甘霖，使田园生长菜蔬。
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. 因为，家神所言的是虚空，卜士所见的是虚假，做梦者所说的是假梦。他们白白地安慰人。所以众人如羊流离，因无牧人就受苦。
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. 我的怒气向牧人发作，我必惩罚公山羊。因我万军之耶和华眷顾自己的羊群，就是犹大家，必使他们如骏马在阵上。
"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，钉子，争战的弓，和一切掌权的都从他而出。
From Judah will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler.
5. 他们必如勇士，在阵上将仇敌践踏在街上的泥土中。他们必争战，因为耶和华与他们同在。骑马的也必羞愧。
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. 我要坚固犹大家，拯救约瑟家，要领他们归回。我要怜恤他们，他们必像未曾弃绝的一样。都因我是耶和华他们的神，我必应允他们的祷告。
"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. 以法莲人必如勇士，他们心中畅快如同喝酒。他们的儿女必看见而快活。他们的心必因耶和华喜乐。
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. 我要发嘶声，聚集他们。因我已经救赎他们。他们的人数必加增，如从前加增一样。
I will signal for them and gather them in. Surely I will redeem them; they will be as numerous as before.
9. 我虽然（或作必）播散他们在列国中，他们必在远方记念我。他们与儿女都必存活，且得归回。
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. 我必再领他们出埃及地，招聚他们出亚述，领他们到基列和利巴嫩，这地尚且不够他们居住。
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. 耶和华必经过苦海，击打海浪，使尼罗河的深处都枯干。亚述的骄傲必至卑微。埃及的权柄必然灭没。
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. 我必使他们倚靠我，得以坚固。一举一动必奉我的名。这是耶和华说的。
I will strengthen them in the LORD and in his name they will walk," declares the LORD.
