撒迦利亚书 10
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
向耶和華求恩─甘霖
10 在春雨的季節，你們要向耶和華求雨。
耶和華閃發雷電，
給人降雨，使各人的田地生長蔬菜。
2 因為偶像所說的是空言，
占卜者所見的是虛謊，
他們所說的是假夢，
只給人空洞的安慰。
因此，眾人都如羊沒有牧人，流離困苦。
3 “我的怒氣要向這些牧人發作，
我要懲罰那些公山羊。
（因為萬軍之耶和華眷顧他的羊群猶大家，使他們像戰場上雄赳赳的戰馬。）
4 房角石、
帳棚樁、
作戰的弓
和所有的統治者，都從猶大而出。
5 他們必像勇士，
在戰場上把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，
他們必使敵方的騎士羞愧。
主必拯救他的子民
6 我要使猶大家強盛起來，
我必拯救約瑟家。
我要使他們歸回，
因為我憐憫他們；
他們好像未遭我棄絕一樣，
因為我是耶和華他們的 神，我必應允他們。
7 以法蓮人必像勇士，
他們心中快樂，好像飲了酒一樣；
他們的子孫看見了，也必快樂；
他們的心必因耶和華歡樂。
8 我要向他們吹哨子，招聚他們，
因為我救贖了他們。
他們的人數要增多，像從前一樣。
9 雖然我把他們散播在萬民中，
他們仍要在遠方記念我；
他們與他們的子孫都要存活，並且歸回。
10 我要使他們從埃及地歸回，
從亞述地招聚他們，
帶他們到基列地和黎巴嫩山，
卻仍不夠容納他們。
11 他必經過苦難的海，
擊打海中的波浪，
尼羅河的深處也都要乾涸；
亞述的驕傲必降為卑；
埃及的權勢要過去。
12 我必使我的子民因耶和華而強盛，
他們要奉耶和華的名行事為人。”
這是耶和華的宣告。
Zechariah 10
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
10 Ask of the Lord rain in the time of the latter or spring rain. It is the Lord Who makes lightnings which usher in the rain and give men showers, and grass to everyone in the field.
2 For the teraphim (household idols) have spoken vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility) and the diviners have seen a lie and the dreamers have told false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore the people go their way like sheep; they are afflicted and hurt because there is no shepherd.
3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds [who are not true shepherds] and I will punish the goat leaders, for the Lord of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as His beautiful and majestic horse in the battle.(A)
4 Out of him [Judah] shall come forth the [a]Cornerstone, out of him the tent peg, out of him the battle bow; every ruler shall proceed from him.(B)
5 And they shall be like mighty men treading down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle, and they shall fight because the Lord is with them, and the [oppressor’s] riders on horses shall be confounded and put to shame.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah and I will save the house of Joseph [Ephraim]. I will bring them back and cause them to dwell securely, for I have mercy, loving-kindness, and compassion for them. They shall be as though I had not cast them off, for I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.
7 Then Ephraim [the ten tribes] shall become like a mighty warrior, and their hearts shall rejoice as through wine; yes, their children shall see it and rejoice; their hearts shall feel great delight and glory triumphantly in the Lord!
8 I will hiss for them [as the keeper does for his bees] and gather them in, for I have redeemed them, and they shall increase [again] as they have increased [before, in Egypt].(C)
9 And though I sow them among the nations, yet they shall [earnestly] remember Me in far countries, and with their children they shall live and shall return [to God and the land He gave them].
10 I will bring them [all Israel] home again from the land of Egypt and gather them out of Assyria, and I will bring them into the land [on the east and on the west of the Jordan, into] Gilead and Lebanon, and room enough shall not be found for them.
11 And [the Lord] will pass through the sea of distress and affliction [at the head of His people, as He did at the Red Sea]; and He will smite down the waves of the sea, and all the depths of the [river] Nile shall be dried up and put to shame; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down and the scepter or rod [of the taskmasters of Egypt] shall pass away.
12 And I will strengthen [Israel] in the Lord, and they shall walk up and down and glory in His name, says the Lord.

Zechariah 10
King James Version
10 Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
5 And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and 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 again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.
7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.
11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.
