Zechariah 10
1Ask ye of Hashem rain in the time of the latter rain; 1 from Hashem who makes the storm clouds, 1 and gives them showers of rain, 1 to every one esev + 10:1 Gn 1:12 in the sadeh. 1
2For the terafim (idols) have spoken aven (deceit, nothing), 1 and the diviners + 10:2 i.e., fortune tellers envision sheker, 1 and have told false chalomot (dreams); 1 hevel is their comfort; 1 therefore the people wander like sheep, 1 oppressed for lack of a ro'eh (shepherd). 1
3Mine anger was kindled against the ro'im (shepherds), 1 and I punished the attudim (he-goats, leaders); 1 for Hashem Tzva'os hath visited His eder (flock), 1 Bais Yehudah, 1 and hath made them like His majestic war horse. 1
4From him + 10:4 Yehudah will come forth the Pinnah (Cornerstone), + 10:4 i.e., Moshiach, Isa 28:16; Gn 49:10 1 from him, the Yated (Tent Peg), + 10:4 support, i.e. leader of the people, Isa 22:23-24 1 from him, the Keshet Milchamah (battle bow), + 10:4 Ps 45:5 1 from him every ruler. 1
5Together they + 10:5 Bais Yehudah, ( 10:3 ) shall be like gibborim, 1 which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the milchamah; 1 and they shall fight, because Hashem is with them, 1 and they shall overthrow the riders on susim. 1
6And I will strengthen the Bais Yehudah, 1 and I will save the Bais Yosef, 1 and I will restore them; for I have rachamim upon them; 1 and they shall be as though I had not rejected them; 1 for I am Hashem Eloheihem, and I will answer them. 1
7And they of Ephrayim shall be like a gibbor (mighty man), 1 and their lev shall have simcha as through yayin; 1 yea, their banim shall see, and have simcha, 1 and their lev shall rejoice in Hashem. 1
8I will whistle for them, and I will gather them in; 1 for I have redeemed them; 1 and they shall multiply as they have multiplied. 1
9And I will sow them among the peoples; 1 and they shall remember Me in far countries; 1 and they shall survive and live with their banim, 1 and they will return. 1
10I will bring them back again also out of Eretz Mitzrayim, 1 and gather them out of Assyria; 1 and I will bring them into the Eretz Gil'ad and Levanon; 1 until no more room shall be found for them. 1
11And He + 10:11 Hashem shall pass through the yam of tzarah, 1 and shall strike the waves in the yam, 1 and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; 1 and the ga'on (pride) of Assyria shall be cast down, 1 and the shevet (scepter) + 10:11 i.e., power of Mitzrayim shall depart. 1
12And I will strengthen them + 10:12 Ephrayim ( 10:7 ) in Hashem; 1 and they shall walk in Shmo (His Name), saith Hashem.
