Zacarías 10
Riveduta 1927
1Chiedete all’Eterno la pioggia nella stagione di primavera! L’Eterno che produce i lampi, darà loro abbondanza di pioggia, ad ognuno erba nel proprio campo.
2Poiché gl’idoli domestici dicono cose vane, gl’indovini vedono menzogne, i sogni mentiscono e dànno un vano conforto; perciò costoro vanno errando come pecore, sono afflitti, perché non v’è pastore.
3La mia ira s’è accesa contro i pastori, e io punirò i capri; poiché l’Eterno degli eserciti visita il suo gregge, la casa di Giuda, e ne fa come il suo cavallo d’onore nella battaglia.
4Da lui uscirà la pietra angolare, da lui il piuolo, da lui l’arco di battaglia, da lui usciranno tutti i capi assieme.
5E saranno come prodi che calpesteranno il nemico in battaglia, nel fango delle strade; e combatteranno perché l’Eterno è con loro; ma quelli che son montati sui cavalli saran confusi.
6E io fortificherò la casa di Giuda, e salverò la casa di Giuseppe, e li ricondurrò perché ho pietà di loro; e saranno come se non li avessi mai scacciati, perché io sono l’Eterno, il loro Dio, e li esaudirò.
7E quelli d’Efraim saranno come un prode, e il loro cuore si rallegrerà come per effetto del vino; i loro figliuoli lo vedranno e si rallegreranno, il loro cuore esulterà nell’Eterno.
8Io fischierò loro e li raccoglierò, perché io li voglio riscattare; ed essi moltiplicheranno come già moltiplicarono.
9Io li disseminerò fra i popoli, ed essi si ricorderanno di me nei paesi lontani; e vivranno coi loro figliuoli, e torneranno.
10Io li farò tornare dal paese d’Egitto, e li raccoglierò dall’Assiria; li farò venire nel paese di Galaad e al Libano, e non vi si troverà posto sufficiente per loro.
11Egli passerà per il mare della distretta; ma nel mare egli colpirà i flutti, e tutte le profondità del fiume saranno prosciugate; l’orgoglio dell’Assiria sarà abbattuto, e lo scettro d’Egitto sarà tolto via.
12Io li renderò forti nell’Eterno, ed essi cammineranno nel suo nome, dice l’Eterno.
Reina-Valera 1909
1PEDID á Jehová lluvia en la sazón tardía: Jehová hará relámpagos, y os dará lluvia abundante, y hierba en el campo á cada uno.
2Porque las imágenes han hablado vanidad, y los adivinos han visto mentira, y han hablado sueños vanos, en vano consuelan: por lo cual se fueron ellos como ovejas, fueron humillados porque no tuvieron pastor.
3Contra los pastores se ha encendido mi enojo, y castigaré los machos de cabrío: mas Jehová de los ejércitos visitará su rebaño, la casa de Judá, y tornarálos como su caballo de honor en la guerra.
4De él saldrá el ángulo, de él la clavija, de él el arco de la guerra, de él también todo apremiador.
5Y serán como valientes, que en la batalla pisan al enemigo en el lodo de las calles; y pelearán, porque Jehová será con ellos; y los que cabalgan en caballos serán avergonzados.
6Porque yo fortificaré la casa de Judá, y guardaré la casa de José; y harélos volver, porque de ellos tendré piedad; y serán como si no los hubiera desechado; porque yo soy Jehová su Dios, que los oiré.
7Y será Ephraim como valiente, y alegraráse su corazón como de vino: sus hijos también verán y se alegrarán; su corazón se gozará en Jehová.
8Yo les silbaré y los juntaré, porque los he redimido; y serán multiplicados como fueron multiplicados.
9Bien que los sembraré entre los pueblos, aun en lejanos países se acordarán de mí; y vivirán con sus hijos, y tornarán.
10Porque yo los tornaré de la tierra de Egipto, y los recogeré de la Asiria; y traerélos á la tierra de Galaad y del Líbano, y no les bastará.
11Y la tribulación pasará por la mar, y en la mar herirá las ondas, y se secarán todas las honduras del río: y la soberbia del Assur será derribada, y se perderá el cetro de Egipto.
12Y yo los fortificaré en Jehová, y caminarán en su nombre, dice Jehová.
King James Version
1Ask 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.
2For 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.
3Mine 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.
4Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
5And 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.
6And 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.
7And 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.
8I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9And 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.
10I 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.
11And 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.
12And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
World English Bible
1Ask of the LORD rain in the spring time, the LORD who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
2For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
3My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats, for the LORD of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
4From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
5They will be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle. They will fight, because the LORD is with them. The riders on horses will be confounded.
6“I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, for I have mercy on them. They will be as though I had not cast them off, for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them.
7Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine. Yes, their children will see it and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in the LORD.
8I will signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were before.
9I will sow them among the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will return.
10I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there won’t be room enough for them.
11He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
12I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
