< Zechariah 10 >

1 Aske you of the Lord raine in the time of the latter raine: so shall the Lord make white cloudes, and giue you showers of raine, and to euery one grasse in the field.
Mibia Yehowa wòana tsi nadza na mi le tsidzaɣi, elabena Yehowae nana tsi ɖona. Enana tsi dzana na amewo, eye wònana nukuwo miena ɖe bo dzi na ame sia ame.
2 Surely the idols haue spoken vanitie, and the southsayers haue seene a lye, and the dreamers haue tolde a vaine thing: they comfort in vaine: therefore they went away as sheepe: they were troubled, because there was no shepheard.
Legbawo blea ame, bokɔnɔwo kpɔa ŋutega siwo mele eteƒe o, wokua drɔ̃e siwo nye aʋatso, eye wogblɔa akɔfanya siwo mevaa eme o. Eya ta ameawo le tsaglalã tsam abe alẽ siwo wote ɖe anyi la ene, elabena kplɔla mele wo si o.
3 My wrath was kindled against the shepherdes, and I did visite the goates: but the Lord of hostes will visite his flocke the house of Iudah, and will make them as his beautifull horse in the battell.
“Nye dɔmedzoe bi ɖe alẽkplɔlawo ŋu, eye mahe to na kplɔlawo, elabena Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la akpɔ Yuda ƒe aƒe, eƒe alẽha la ta, eye wòawɔ wo woanɔ abe sɔ si ŋu ŋusẽ le le aʋagbedzi ene.
4 Out of him shall the corner come foorth: out of him the nayle, out of him ye bowe of battell, and out of him euery appointer of tribute also.
Dzogoedzikpe atso Yuda ava, eye tsyoti, dati siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le aʋa me kple dziɖula ɖe sia ɖe atso Yuda ava.
5 And they shalbe as the mightie men, which treade downe their enemies in the mire of the streetes in the battell, and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
Wo katã woabɔ asaɖa abe ŋutsu kalẽtɔ siwo le zɔzɔm le bamɔtatawo dzi le aʋagbedzi ene, elabena Yehowa li kpli wo, woawɔ aʋa, aɖu sɔdolawo dzi.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Iudah, and I will preserue the house of Ioseph, and I wil bring them againe, for I pitie them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will heare them.
“Mado ŋusẽ Yuda ƒe aƒe, eye maɖe Yosef ƒe aƒe, magbugbɔ wo agaɖo te, elabena mekpɔ nublanui na wo. Woanɔ abe ɖe nyemegbe nu le wo gbɔ kpɔ o ene, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la, eye matɔ na wo.
7 And they of Ephraim shall be as a gyant, and their heart shall reioyce as thorowe wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad: and their heart shall reioyce in the Lord.
Efraimtɔwo ava nɔ abe ŋutsu kalẽtɔwo ene, eye woƒe dziwo akpɔ dzidzɔ abe wain wono ene. Wo viwo akpɔe, woatso aseye, eye woakpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
8 I will hisse for them, and gather them: for I haue redeemed them: and they shall encrease, as they haue encreased.
Mana dzesi wo, eye maƒo wo nu ƒu, maɖe wo vavã, eye woagasɔ gbɔ abe tsã ene.
9 And I will sowe them among the people, and they shall remember me in farre countreys: and they shall liue with their children and turne againe.
Togbɔ be mekaka wo ɖe amewo dome hã la, woaɖo ŋku dzinye le anyigba didi mawo dzi. Wo kple wo viwo atsi agbe, eye woagatrɔ agbɔ.
10 I will bring them againe also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Asshur: and I will bring them into the land of Gilead, and Lebanon, and place shall not be found for them.
Makplɔ wo agbɔe tso Egipte, eye maƒo wo nu ƒu tso Asiria; makplɔ wo va Gilead kple Lebanon, eye womakpɔ teƒe anɔ gɔ̃ hã o.
11 And he shall goe into the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waues in the sea, and all the depthes of the riuer shall drye vp: and the pride of Asshur shall be cast downe, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart away.
Woato nuxaxa ƒe atsiaƒu me, ke woaɖu ƒu dzeagbowo dzi, eye Nil tɔsisi ƒe gogloƒewo aƒu kplakplakpla. Woaŋe kɔ le Asiria ƒe dada nu, eye woaɖe Egipte ƒe fiatikplɔ ɖa.
12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walke in his Name, sayth the Lord.
Mado ŋusẽ wo le Yehowa me, eye eƒe ŋkɔ me woazɔ le.” Yehowae gblɔe.
