Zechariah 10
1 Ask of the LORD rain in the spring time, the LORD who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
Mande pou lapli ki sòti nan SENYÈ a nan epòk prentan. Se SENYÈ a ki fè nwaj tanpèt yo; epi se Li ki bay lapli lejè a tout pou jaden plant yo.
2 For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
Paske zidòl lakay yo pale inikite; divinò yo k ap fè vizyon ki pa vrè, ke yo repete kòn fo rèv. Yo bay rekonfò an ven. Konsa, pèp la mache egare tankou mouton; yo aflije akoz yo pa gen bèje.
3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats, for the LORD of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
Kòlè Mwen limen kont bèje yo. Mwen va pini mal kabrit yo, paske SENYÈ dèzame yo te vizite bann mouton li an lakay Juda, e Li va fè yo vin tankou cheval majeste Li nan batay la.
4 From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
De li menm, va vin parèt wòch ang lan, de li menm, pikèt tant lan, de li menm, banza batay la, de li menm, tout wa yo ansanm.
5 They will be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle. They will fight, because the LORD is with them. The riders on horses will be confounded.
Yo va tankou mesye pwisan yo, k ap foule lènmi yo anba pye yo, nan labou lari a nan batay la. Yo va goumen, paske SENYÈ a va avèk yo; epi sila ki monte sou cheval yo va anbwouye.
6 “I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, for I have mercy on them. They will be as though I had not cast them off, for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them.
Mwen va ranfòse lakay Juda a, Mwen va sove lakay Joseph la, e mwen va fè yo retounen; paske Mwen gen konpasyon pou yo. Konsa, yo va vin konsi Mwen pa t janm rejte yo, paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye yo, e mwen va reponn yo.
7 Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine. Yes, their children will see it and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in the LORD.
Éphraïm va vin tankou yon gwo nonm pwisan e kè yo va kontan konsi se ak diven. Anverite, pitit yo va wè sa, e yo va kontan, kè yo va rejwi nan SENYÈ a.
8 I will signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were before.
Mwen va soufle pou yo pou yo kab vin rasanble yo, paske Mwen te rachte yo. Konsa, yo va vin anpil, jan yo te ye oparavan an.
9 I will sow them among the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will return.
Lè Mwen gaye yo pami lòt pèp yo, yo va sonje Mwen nan peyi lwen yo. Yo va viv ak pitit yo, e yo va retounen.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there will not be room enough for them.
Mwen va mennen yo retounen soti nan peyi Égypte la, e rasanble yo soti Assyrie. Mwen va mennen yo antre nan peyi Galaad ak Liban jiskaske pa gen espas pou yo.
11 He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
Li va pase nan lanmè afliksyon an, e Li va frape lanm lanmè yo, jiskaske tout pwofondè Rivyè Nil lan vin sèch. Epi ògèy Assyrie va vin bese e baton Égypte la va sòti.
12 I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
Mwen va ranfòse yo nan SENYÈ a. Nan non pa Li, yo va mache monte desann” deklare SENYÈ a.
