Zacarías 10

EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Pidan al Señor la lluvia en el tiempo de la primavera. El Señor es el que produce los relámpagos; él les dará una lluvia abundante, y a cada uno la hierba en su campo.	1 Petition before the Lord for rain in the latter time, and the Lord will produce snows and will give showers of rain to them, to each blade in the field.
2 Porque los ídolos dan respuestas vanas, y los adivinos ven visiones engañosas, relatan sueños quiméricos y dan consuelos ilusorios. Por eso la gente ha partido como un rebaño, están afligidos porque no tienen pastor.	2 For the images have been speaking what is useless, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreamers have been speaking false hope: they have comforted in vain. For this reason, they have been led away like a flock; they will be afflicted, because they have no shepherd.
3 Mi ira se ha encendido contra los pastores y yo castigaré a los machos cabríos. Cuando el Señor de los ejércitos visite a su rebaño –la casa de Judá– hará de ella su caballo de honor en el combate.	3 My fury has been kindled over the shepherds, and I will visit upon the he-goats. For the Lord of hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and he has set them like the horse of his glory in the war.
4 De él saldrá la Piedra angular, de él la Estaca, de él el arco de guerra, de él todos los jefes. Todos juntos	4 From him will go forth the angle, from him the wooden peg, from him the bow of battle, from him every exactor at the same time.
5 serán como héroes, que pisotean el barro de las calles en el combate; combatirán porque el Señor estará con ellos, mientras que los jinetes quedarán confundidos.	5 And they will be like the strong, trampling the mud of the ways in battle. And they will fight, for the Lord is with them. And the riders of the horses will be confounded.
6 Yo fortificaré a la casa de José. Los restableceré porque tendré piedad de ellos, y serán como si yo no los hubiera rechazado, porque yo soy el Señor, su Dios, y los escucharé.	6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will convert them, because I will have mercy on them. And they will be as they were when I had not cast them away. For I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.
7 Efraím será como un héroe, y su corazón se alegrará como con el vino: sus hijos verán y se regocijarán, su corazón se llenará de júbilo en el Señor.	7 And they will be like the strong of Ephraim, and their heart will rejoice as if by wine, and their sons will see and will rejoice, and their heart will exult in the Lord.
8 Les silbaré y los reuniré, porque yo los he liberado, y ellos serán tan numerosos como antes.	8 I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed them. And I will multiply them, as they had been multiplied before.
9 Yo los diseminé entre los pueblos, pero se acordarán de mi en las regiones lejanas, criarán a sus hijos y estos volverán.	9 And I will sow them among the peoples, and from far away they will remember me. And they will live with their sons, and they will return.
10 Los haré volver del país de Galaad y en el Líbano, y no habrá lugar suficiente para ellos.	10 And I will lead them back from the land of Egypt, and I will gather them from among the Assyrians, and I will lead them to the land of Gilead and Lebanon, and no place will be left that has not been found by them.
11 Atravesarán el mar de Egipto, él golpeará las olas en el mar, y se secarán las profundidades del Nilo. Será abatido el orgullo de Asiria, y el cetro de Egipto será arrebatado.	11 And he will pass over the narrow passage of the sea, and he will strike the waves of the sea, and all the depths of the river will be confounded, and the arrogance of Assyria will be brought low, and the scepter of Egypt will withdraw.
12 Yo los fortaleceré en el Señor, y ellos avanzarán en su Nombre –oráculo del Señor–.	12 I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they will walk in his name, says the Lord.
