撒迦利亞書 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶和華應許拯救以色列
10 要在春季向耶和華求雨。
祂創造雷雨，
為世人降下甘霖，
使田間長出青翠之物。
2 因為神像說的是虛言，
占卜者講的是謊話，
他們說的是假夢，
他們的安慰是空的。
所以人們如迷失的羊，
因沒有牧人而受苦。
3 「我必向牧人發怒，
我必懲罰這些首領[a]。
因為我——萬軍之耶和華必眷顧我的羊群猶大家，
我必使他們像戰場上的駿馬。
4 房角石、帳篷的橛子、戰弓，
以及所有掌權者必出自猶大。
5 他們必像戰場上的勇士，
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。
他們必使敵方的騎兵蒙羞。
6 「我必使猶大家強盛，
我必拯救約瑟家。
我必帶他們回到故土，
因為我憐憫他們。
他們必好像從未被我拋棄一樣，
因為我是他們的上帝耶和華，
我必應允他們的禱告。
7 以法蓮人必如勇士，
他們必心裡快樂，如同喝了酒，
他們的兒女見狀也必快樂，
他們必因耶和華而歡心。
8 「我必吹哨聚集他們，
因為我救贖了他們，
他們必像從前一樣人數眾多。
9 雖然我把他們分散到列國，
他們必在遠方想起我，
他們及其子女必得以倖存，
並且回到故土。
10 我必從埃及領他們回到故土，
從亞述招聚他們，
領他們到基列和黎巴嫩，
那裡將不夠他們居住。
11 祂必經過苦海，
擊打海浪，
尼羅河必乾涸，
亞述的驕傲必掃地，
埃及的勢力必滅沒。
12 我必讓他們靠著我強盛，
他們必奉我的名行事。
這是耶和華說的。」

The Lord’s Promises
10 Pray to the Lord for rain in the springtime. The Lord will send the lightning and the rain will fall, and he will make the plants grow in each person’s field.
2 People use their little statues and magic to learn what will happen in the future, but that is useless. They see visions and tell about their dreams, but it is nothing but worthless lies. So the people are like sheep wandering here and there crying for help, but there is no shepherd to lead them.
3 The Lord says, “I am very angry with the shepherds. I made them responsible for what happens to my sheep.” (The people of Judah are his flock, and the Lord All-Powerful really does take care of his flock. He cares for them as a soldier cares for his beautiful war horse.)
4 “The cornerstone, the tent peg, the war bow, and the advancing soldiers will all come from Judah together. 5 They will defeat their enemy—it will be like soldiers marching through mud in the streets. They will fight, and since the Lord is with them, they will defeat even the enemy soldiers riding horses. 6 I will make Judah’s family strong. I will help Joseph’s family win the war. I will bring them back safely and comfort them. It will be as if I never left them. I am the Lord their God, and I will help them. 7 The people of Ephraim will be as happy as soldiers who have too much to drink. Their children will be rejoicing and they, too, will be happy. They will all have a happy time together with the Lord.
8 “I will whistle for them and call them all together. I really will save them. There will be many people. 9 Yes, I have been scattering my people throughout the nations. But in those faraway places, they will remember me. They and their children will survive, and they will come back. 10 I will bring them back from Egypt and Assyria. I will bring them to the area of Gilead. And since there will not be enough room, I will also let them live in nearby Lebanon. 11 They will go through a sea of troubles, but the waves will be stopped. Even the deepest waters of the Nile River will dry up. I will destroy Assyria’s pride and take away Egypt’s power. 12 I, the Lord, will make my people strong, and they will live for me.” This is what the Lord said.
