Книга пророка Захарии 10

1 Просите от Господа дождя во время ранняго и поздняго: Господь сотвори привидения, и дождь зимен даст им, комуждо злак на селе.

Ask of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain; Jehovah will make lightnings, and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

2 Зане провещающии глаголаша труды, и вражбителие видения ложна и сония лжива глаголаху, суетными утешаху: сего ради изсхоша яко овцы, и озлоблени быша, понеже не бе изцеления.

For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams: they comfort in vain. Therefore they have gone away as a flock, they are in distress, because there is no shepherd.

3 На пастырей прогневася ярость Моя, и на агнцы посещу: и посетит Господь Бог Вседержитель стадо Свое, дом Иудин, и учинит я аки коня благолепна Своего во брани.

Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for Jehovah of hosts visiteth his flock, the house of Judah, and maketh them as his majestic horse in the battle.

4 И от него призре, и от него учини, и от него лук в дусе ярости, и от него изыдет всяк изгоняяй в том.

From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor together.

5 И будут яко ратницы попирающе брение на путех во брани, и ополчатся, яко Господь с ними, и постыдятся всадницы коннии.

And they shall be as mighty men, treading down the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, for Jehovah is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

6 И укреплю дом Иудов и дом Иосифов спасу, и вселю я, понеже возлюбих я, и будут аки бы не отвратих их: зане Аз Господь Бог их и услышу я.

And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back again; for I will have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God, and I will answer them.

7 И будут яко ратницы Ефремовы, и возрадуется сердце их аки от вина: и чада их увидят и возвеселятся, и возрадуется сердце их о Господе.

And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their hearts shall rejoice as through wine; and their children shall see [it], and rejoice; their heart shall be joyful in Jehovah.

8 Возвещу им и прииму я, зане искуплю их, и умножатся, якоже бяху мнози:

I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall multiply as they used to multiply.

9 и всею я в людех, и дальнии помянут Мя, и воспитают чада своя, и обратятся:

And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children and return.

10 и возвращу я от земли Египетския и от Ассириан прииму я, и в Галаадит и в Ливан введу я, и не имать остати от них ни един.

And I will bring them again 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.

11 И пройдут морем узким и поразят в мори волны, и изсякнут вся глубины речныя, и отимется всяко досаждение Ассирийско, и скиптр Египетск отимется.

And he shall pass through the sea of affliction, and shall smite the billows in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

12 И укреплю я о Где Бозе их, и о имени Его восхвалятся, глаголет Господь.

And I will strengthen them in Jehovah; and they shall walk in his name, saith Jehovah.
