撒迦利亞書 10
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 for rain from Yahweh in the season of the spring rain— Yahweh who makes thunderstorms— and he gives rain showers to everyone and vegetation in the field.
2 因為，家神所言的是虛空； 卜士所見的是虛假； 做夢者所說的是假夢。 他們白白地安慰人， 所以眾人如羊流離， 因無牧人就受苦。
For household idols speak falsely; the diviners envision a lie; they tell deceitful dreams and give empty comfort, so they wander like sheep and suffer because there is no 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 wrath burns against the shepherds; it is the male goats—the leaders—that I will punish. Yahweh of hosts will also attend to his flock, the house of Judah, and make them like his warhorse 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 will come the tent peg; from him will come the war bow; from him will come every ruler together.
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。
They will be like warriors who trample their enemies into the mud of the streets in battle; they will make war, for Yahweh is with them, and they will shame those who ride warhorses.
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－他們的上帝， 我必應允他們的禱告。
I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph; for I will restore them and have mercy on them. They will be as though I had not cast them off, for I am Yahweh their God, and I will respond to 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。
Then Ephraim will be like a warrior, and their hearts will rejoice as with wine; their children will see and rejoice. Their hearts will rejoice in me!
8 我要發嘶聲，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 whistle for them and gather them, for I will rescue them, and they will become as great as they previously were!
9 我雖然播散他們在列國中， 他們必在遠方記念我。 他們與兒女都必存活，且得歸回。
I sowed them among the peoples, but they will remember me in distant countries, so they and their children will live and return.
10 我必再領他們出埃及地， 招聚他們出亞述， 領他們到基列和黎巴嫩； 這地尚且不夠他們居住。
For I will restore them from the land of Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to the land of Gilead and Lebanon until there is no more room 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。 亞述的驕傲必致卑微； 埃及的權柄必然滅沒。
I will pass through the sea of their affliction; I will strike the waves of that sea and will dry up all the depths of the Nile. The majesty of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will go away from the Egyptians.
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 myself, and they will walk in my name—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
