Zechariah 10
1 Petition before the Lord for rain in the latter time, and the Lord will produce snows and will give showers of rain to them, to each blade in the field.
Pedi ao Senhor chuva no tempo da serodia: o Senhor faz relâmpagos, e lhes dará chuveiro de água, e erva no campo a cada um.
2 For the images have been speaking what is useless, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreamers have been speaking false hope: they have comforted in vain. For this reason, they have been led away like a flock; they will be afflicted, because they have no shepherd.
Porque os teraphins tem falado vaidade, e os adivinhos tem visto mentira, e falam sonhos vãos; com vaidade consolam, por isso se foram como ovelhas, foram aflitos, porque não havia pastor.
3 My fury has been kindled over the shepherds, and I will visit upon the he-goats. For the Lord of hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and he has set them like the horse of his glory in the war.
Contra os pastores se acendeu a minha ira, e visitarei os bodes; mas o Senhor dos exércitos visitará o seu rebanho, a casa de Judá, e os fará ser como o cavalo da sua magestade na peleja.
4 From him will go forth the angle, from him the wooden peg, from him the bow of battle, from him every exactor at the same time.
Dele a pedra de esquina, dele a estaca, dele o arco de guerra, dele juntamente sairão todos os exatores.
5 And they will be like the strong, trampling the mud of the ways in battle. And they will fight, for the Lord is with them. And the riders of the horses will be confounded.
E serão como valentes que pelo lodo das ruas entram na peleja, e pelejarão; porque o Senhor estará com eles, e envergonharão aos que andam montados em cavalos.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will convert them, because I will have mercy on them. And they will be as they were when I had not cast them away. For I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.
E fortalecerei a casa de Judá, e salvarei a casa de José, e tornarei a planta-los, porque me apiedei deles: e serão como se os não tivera rejeitado; porque eu sou o Senhor seu Deus, e os ouvirei.
7 And they will be like the strong of Ephraim, and their heart will rejoice as if by wine, and their sons will see and will rejoice, and their heart will exult in the Lord.
E os de Ephraim serão como um valente, e o seu coração se alegrará como de vinho, e seus filhos o verão, e se alegrarão; o seu coração se regozijará no Senhor.
8 I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed them. And I will multiply them, as they had been multiplied before.
Eu lhes assobiarei, e os ajuntarei, porque eu os tenho remido, e multiplicar-se-ão, assim como antes se tinham multiplicado.
9 And I will sow them among the peoples, and from far away they will remember me. And they will live with their sons, and they will return.
E eu os semearei por entre os povos, e lembrar-se-ão de mim em lugares remotos; e viverão com seus filhos, e voltarão.
10 And I will lead them back from the land of Egypt, and I will gather them from among the Assyrians, and I will lead them to the land of Gilead and Lebanon, and no place will be left that has not been found by them.
Porque eu os farei voltar da terra do Egito, e os congregarei da Assyria; e tra-los-ei à terra de Gilead e do líbano, e não se achará lugar para eles.
11 And he will pass over the narrow passage of the sea, and he will strike the waves of the sea, and all the depths of the river will be confounded, and the arrogance of Assyria will be brought low, and the scepter of Egypt will withdraw.
E ele passará o mar com angústia, e ferirá as ondas no mar, e todas as profundezas dos rios se secarão: então será derribada a soberba da Assyria, e o cetro do Egito se retirará.
12 I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they will walk in his name, says the Lord.
E eu os fortalecerei no Senhor, e andarão no seu nome, diz o Senhor.
