Zaccaria 10

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Petite a Domino pluviam in tempore pluviae serotinae. Dominus facit fulgura et pluviam imbris dabit eis, singulis herbam in agro.	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 Quia theraphim loquuntur inania, et divini vident mendacium, et somnia loquuntur vana, vane consolantur; idcirco migrant quasi grex, affliguntur, quia non est eis 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 Super pastores iratus est furor meus, et super hircos visitabo: certe visitat Dominus exercituum gregem suum, domum Iudae, et faciet eos quasi equum gloriae suae in bello.	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 Ex ipso angulus, ex ipso paxillus, ex ipso arcus proelii, ex ipso egredietur omnis exactor simul.	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 Et erunt quasi fortes conculcantes lutum viarum in proelio et bellabunt, quia Dominus cum eis; et confundentur ascensores equorum.	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 Et confortabo domum Iudae et domum Ioseph salvabo et reducam eos, quia miserebor eorum; et erunt, sicut non proiecissem eos: ego enim Dominus Deus eorum et exaudiam eos.	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 Et erunt quasi fortes Ephraim, et laetabitur cor eorum quasi a vino, et filii eorum videbunt et laetabuntur, et exsultabit cor eorum in Domino.	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 Sibilabo eis et congregabo illos, quia redemi eos, et multi erunt, sicut multi ante fuerant.	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 Et seminabo eos in populis, et de longe recordabuntur mei; et alent filios suos et revertentur.	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 Et reducam eos de terra Aegypti et de Assyria congregabo eos et ad terram Galaad et Libani adducam eos, et non invenietur eis locus.	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 Et transibunt per mare angustiae, et percutiet in mari fluctus, et exiccabuntur omnia profunda fluminis; et humiliabitur superbia Assyriae, et sceptrum Aegypti recedet.	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 Confortabo eos in Domino, et in nomine eius ambulabunt ”, dicit Dominus.	12 I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they will walk in his name, says the Lord.
