Zechariah 10
1 Ask Yahweh to cause rain to fall (in the springtime/before the hot season starts), [because] he is the one who makes the clouds [from which the rain falls]. He causes showers to fall on us, and he causes crops to grow well in the fields.
Agdawatkayo iti tudo kenni Yahweh iti panawen iti panagrurusing—ni Yahweh a mangar-aramid kadagiti bagio! —ket mangipaayto isuna iti tudo kadakuada, ken kadagiti mula kadagiti talon nga agpaay iti sangkataoan.
2 [What people think that] the idols in their houses suggest [is only] nonsense, and people who [say that they can] interpret dreams tell [only] lies. When they [tell people things to] comfort [them, what they say] is useless, so the people [who (consult/trust in) them] are like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no [one to protect them] [like] [MET] a shepherd [protects his sheep].
Ta saan a pudno ti ibagbaga dagiti didiosen; agipadpadto iti ulbod dagiti mammadto; agipatpatarusda kadagiti manangallilaw a tagtagainep ken ubbaw ti panangliwliwada, isu a maiyaw-awanda a kas iti karnero ken agsagabada gapu ta awan ti agpaspastor.
3 [Yahweh says, ] “I am angry with the leaders [MET] of my people, and I will punish them. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, take care of my people, the people of Judah, [like a shepherd takes care of his] [MET] flock, and I will cause them to be like [SIM] proud/powerful war horses.
Ti pungtotko kadagiti agpaspastor ket kasla apuy a sumsumged; daytoy dagiti kalakian a kalding—dagiti mangingidaulo—a dusaekto; aywananto ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti arbanna, dagiti tattao ti Juda, ket pagbalinennanto ida a kasla nabileg a kabalio iti gubatan!
4 From Judah will come rulers [who will be very important], [like] [MET] a cornerstone is [the most important stone for a house], [like] [MET] a tent peg [is very important for a tent], [like] [MET] a bow [is very important for (an archer/a man who shoots arrows]).
Tumaudto kadakuada ti pasuli a bato; tumaudto kadakuada ti pasok ti tolda; tumaudto kadakuada ti bai a pakigubat; tumaudto kadakuada dagiti amin a mangingidaulo.
5 They will all be like [SIM] mighty warriors trampling [their enemies] in the mud during a battle. [I, ] Yahweh, will be with them, so they will fight and defeat their enemies who ride on horses.
Kasladanto kadagiti mannakigubat a mangibaddebaddek kadagiti kabusorda iti pitak dagiti kalsada iti gubatan; makigubatdanto, gapu ta adda kadakuada ni Yahweh, ket parmekendanto dagiti nakasakay kadagiti kabalio a pakigubat.
6 I will cause the people [MTY] of Judah to become strong, and I will rescue the people [MTY] of Israel. I will bring them back [from the countries to which they were (exiled/forced to go)]; [I will do that] because I pity them. Then they will be as though I had not abandoned them, because I am Yahweh, their God, and I will answer them [when they pray for help].
Papigsaekto ti balay ti Juda ken isalakankonto ti balay ni Jose; ta isublik manen ida ken kaasiak ida. Kaslanto saanko ida a linaksid, ta Siak ni Yahweh a Diosda, ket sumungbatakto kadakuada.
7 The people of Israel will be like [SIM] strong soldiers; they will be as happy as [people who have drunk a lot of] wine. Their children will see [their fathers being very happy], and they [also] will be happy because of what Yahweh [has done for them].
Ket maiyarigto ti Efraim iti mannakigubat, ket agrag-onto dagiti pusoda a kasla nakainumda iti arak; makitanto dagiti annakda ket agrag-oda. Agrag-onto dagiti pusoda gapu kaniak!
8 I will signal for my people [to return from (being exiled/other countries)], and I will gather them together [in their own country]. I will rescue them, and they will become very numerous like [they were] previously.
Paswitakto ida ket ummongek ida, gapu ta ispalekto ida, ket paaduekto ida a kas iti sigud a kaaduda!
9 I have caused them to be scattered among many people-groups, but in those distant countries they will think about me again. They and their children will remain alive and return [to Judah].
Inwarasko ida kadagiti tattao ngem malagipdakto kadagiti adayo a pagilian, isu nga agbiag ken agsublidanto agraman dagiti annakda.
10 I will bring them [back] from Egypt and from Assyria; I will bring them [back] from the Gilead and Lebanon [regions], and there will hardly be enough [HYP] space for them all [to live in Judah].
Gapu ta alaekto ida iti daga ti Egipto ket ummongek ida manipud iti Asiria. Ipankonto ida iti daga ti Galaad ken Libano agingga nga awanen ti pagnaedanda sadiay.
11 They will endure/experience many difficulties [as though they were walking] [MET] through a sea, but [I] will calm the waves of the sea; the Nile [River which is usually] deep will dry up. [I] will defeat the proud [soldiers of] Assyria, and [I will cause] Egypt to no longer be powerful [MTY].
Kuyogekto ida iti baybay ti rigrigatda; ablatakto dagiti dalluyon iti dayta a baybay ket pagmagaekto ti lansad ti Karayan Nilo. Maipababanto ti kinadayag ti Asiria, ket mapukawto ti setro ti Egipto manipud kadagiti Egipcio.
12 I will enable my people to be strong, and they will honor me and obey [IDM] me. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Papigsaekto ida, ket agbiagdanto babaen iti naganko.” Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
