Zechariah 10

1 Ask the LORD for rain in springtime; the LORD makes the storm clouds, and He will give everyone showers of rain and crops in the field.

1 要在春季向耶和华求雨。 祂造出雷雨， 为世人降下甘霖， 赐人田间的菜蔬。

2 For idols speak deceit and diviners see illusions; they tell false dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore the people wander like sheep, oppressed for lack of a shepherd.

2 因为神像说的是虚言， 占卜者讲的是谎话， 他们诉说的是假梦， 他们的安慰是空话。 所以人们如迷失的羊， 因无牧人而遭受困苦。

3 “My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders. For the LORD of Hosts attends to His flock, the house of Judah; He will make them like His royal steed in battle.

3 “我必向牧人发怒， 我必惩罚这些首领 。 因为万军之耶和华必眷顾祂的羊群犹大家， 使他们像战场上的骏马。

4 The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.

4 房角石、橛子、战弓， 以及所有掌权者必出自犹大。

5 They will be like mighty men in battle, trampling the enemy in the mire of the streets. They will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put the horsemen to shame.

5 他们必如战场上的勇士， 将仇敌践踏在街上的泥土中。 他们必争战， 因为耶和华与他们同在。 他们必使敌方的骑兵蒙羞。

6 I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had not rejected them. For I am the LORD their God, and I will answer them.

6 “我必使犹大家强盛， 我必拯救约瑟家。 我必带他们回到故土， 因为我怜悯他们。 他们必好像从未被我抛弃一样， 因为我是他们的上帝耶和华， 我必应允他们的祷告。

7 Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their hearts will be glad as with wine. Their children will see it and be joyful; their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.

7 以法莲人必如勇士， 他们必心里畅快，如同喝了酒， 他们的儿女见状也必喜乐， 他们必因耶和华而欢欣。

8 I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.

8 “我必吹哨聚集他们， 因为我救赎了他们， 他们必像从前一样人数众多。

9 Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.

9 虽然我把他们分散到列国， 他们必在远方想起我， 他们及其子女必得以幸存， 并且回到故土。

10 I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon until no more room is found for them.

10 我必从埃及领他们归回， 从亚述招聚他们， 领他们到基列和黎巴嫩， 那里将不够他们居住。

11 They will pass through the sea of distress and strike the waves of the sea; all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.

11 祂必经过苦海， 击打海浪， 尼罗河必干涸， 亚述的骄傲必扫地， 埃及的势力必灭没。

12 I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,” declares the LORD.

12 我必让他们靠耶和华而强盛， 他们必奉祂的名行事。 这是耶和华说的。”
