撒迦利亞書

第10章

1 當春雨的時候,你們要向耶和華求雨;這樣,耶和華就必做光明的雲彩[so the LORD shall make bright clouds],為各人[every one]降下甘霖,使田園生長菜蔬。

2 因為偶像[For idols]所言的是虛空,卜士所見的是虛假,所說的[told]是假夢;他們白白地安慰人。所以眾人如羊流離,因[was]無牧人就受苦。

3 我的怒氣向牧人發作,懲罰了山羊[punished the goats];因我─大軍之耶和華已經眷顧[hath visited]自己的羊群,就是猶大家,已使[hath made]他們如駿馬在陣上。

4 房角石、釘子、爭戰的弓,和一切行暴虐的[oppressor],都已從他[Out of him came]一同[together]出來[came forth]

5 他們必如勇士在陣上將仇敵踐踏在街上的泥土中;他們必爭戰,因為耶和華與他們同在,騎馬的也必羞愧。

6 我要堅固猶大家,拯救約瑟家,要領他們歸回;我要憐恤他們。他們必像未曾棄絕的一樣。都因我是耶和華─他們的神,[and]聽允[hear]他們的禱告。

7 以法蓮人必如勇士,他們心中暢快如同喝酒。他們的兒女必看見而快活;他們的心必因耶和華喜樂。

8 我要發嘶聲,聚集他們;因我已經救贖他們。他們的人數必加增,如從前加增一樣。

9[will]播散他們在列國中。他們必在遠方記念我;他們與兒女都必存活,並且轉回[and turn again]

10 我必再領他們出埃及地,招聚他們出亞述;領他們到基列和黎巴嫩;這地尚且不夠他們居住。

11 耶和華必經過苦海,擊打海浪,使[river]的深處都枯乾;亞述的驕傲必致卑微,埃及的權柄必然滅沒。

12 我必使他們倚靠耶和華[LORD],得以堅固;一舉一動必奉我的名。這是耶和華說的。

Zechariah

Chapter 10

1 ASK from the LORD rain in the season of latter rain; and the LORD shall make gentle showers, and give you the early rain which causes the grass to grow in the field.

2 For the learned men have spoken iniquity, and the diviners have seen a lie and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain; therefore the people went their way like a flock, they were afflicted because they had no shepherd.

3 My anger is raging against the shepherds, and I will punish the flocks; for the LORD of hosts has visited his flock the house of Judah, and has made them as a splendid horse in the battle.

4 Out of them shall come forth the cornerstone, out of them the nail, out of them the battle bow, and out of them all their rulers together.

5 And they shall be like mighty men who tread mire in the streets in the battle; they shall fight because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back again; for I will have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not forgotten them; for I am the LORD God and will answer them.

7 And they shall become like the mighty men of Ephraim, and their hearts shall rejoice as with wine; yea, their children shall see it and be glad; their hearts shall rejoice in the LORD.

8 I will whistle for them and gather them; for I will save them; and they shall increase as they were before increased.

9 And I will scatter them among the nations, yet they shall praise me in far countries; and they shall rear their children and return again.

10 And I will bring them back from the land of Egypt and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them back to the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and the lands shall not be enough for them.

11 And they shall pass through the sea of affliction, and he shall turn back the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall cease, and the government of Egypt shall pass away.

12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall preach the good tidings of his name, says the LORD.
