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.
Иштите од Господа дажда у време позног дажда, Господ ће пустити муње, и даће вам изобила дажда и свакоме траве у пољу.
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].
Јер ликови говоре ништавило и врачи виде лаж и говоре залудне сне, теше таштином; зато отидоше као стадо, и ојадише се, јер не беше пастира.
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.
Гнев се мој распали на пастире, и покарах јарце; јер Господ над војскама обиђе стадо своје, дом Јудин, и учини да су му као коњ окићен за бој.
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]).
Од Њега је угао, од Њега коље, од Њега лук убојити, од Њега излази и сваки настојник.
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.
И они ће бити као јунаци, газиће у боју као блато по улицама, и биће се, јер је Господ с њима, и који јашу на коњима осрамотиће се.
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].
И укрепићу дом Јудин, и дом ћу Јосифов спасти, и довешћу их натраг, јер ми их је жао, и биће као да их нисам одбацио, јер сам ја Господ Бог њихов и услишићу их.
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].
И они од Јефрема биће као јунак, и срце ће им бити цело као од вина, и синови њихови видеће и веселиће се, и срце ће им се радовати о Господу.
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.
Зазвиждаћу им и сабраћу их, јер ћу их избавити, и они ће се умножити као што су се били умножили.
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].
И расејаћу их међу народе да се у далеким местима опомињу мене, и живећи са синовима својим да се врате.
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].
И довешћу их натраг из земље мисирске, и сабраћу их из асирске, и довешћу их у земљу галадску и на Ливан; и неће им бити доста места.
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].
И од тескобе ће прећи преко мора, и разбиће вале у мору, и све ће дубине реци пресахнути, и обориће се понос асирски и палица ће се мисирска узети.
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.”
И укрепићу их Господом, и они ће ходати у име Његово, говори Господ.
