当春雨的时候，你们要向发闪电的耶和华求雨；祂必给人降下沛雨，使各人的田地生长菜蔬。
Ask rain of Jehovah / At the time of spring rain, / Of Jehovah who makes the lightning, / And He will give them showers of rain, / To everyone herbage in the field.

因为家神所言的是虚空，占卜者所见的是虚假，所说的是假梦；他们徒然安慰人；所以众人如羊流离，因无牧人就受苦。
For the teraphim have spoken vanity, / And the diviners have seen a lie / And have spoken false dreams; / They comforted in vain. / Therefore the people have wandered like sheep; / They are afflicted because there is no shepherd.

我的怒气向牧人发作，我必惩罚公山羊；因我万军之耶和华眷顾自己的羊群，就是犹大家，必使他们如祂在战阵上的骏马。
My anger is kindled against the shepherds, / And I will punish the male goats; / For Jehovah of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, / And will make them like His horse of majesty in battle.

房角石、钉子、争战的弓和一切掌权的，都从他们而出。
From him will come forth the cornerstone, from him the peg, / From him the battle bow, / From him every ruler together.

他们必如勇士，在争战中将仇敌践踏在街上的泥土中；他们必争战，因为耶和华与他们同在；骑马的也必蒙羞。
And they will be as mighty men trampling their enemies / In the mire of the streets in the battle; / And they will fight, for Jehovah is with them; / And the riders of horses will be put to shame.

我要坚固犹大家，拯救约瑟家；我要领他们归回，因我怜恤了他们；他们必像未曾遭我弃绝一样；因为我是耶和华他们的神，我必应允他们的祷告。
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, / And I will save the house of Joseph; / And I will bring them back, for I have had compassion on them; / And they will be as though I had not rejected them; / For I am Jehovah their God, and I will answer them.

以法莲人必如勇士，他们心中欢喜如同喝酒；他们的儿女必看见而欢喜；他们的心必因耶和华欢腾。
And they of Ephraim will be like a mighty man, / And their hearts will rejoice as if with wine; / Indeed, their children will see it and rejoice; / Their heart will exult in Jehovah.

我要向他们发哨声，聚集他们，因我已经救赎他们；他们的人数必增多，如从前增多一样。
I will whistle for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them; / And they will multiply as they have multiplied.

我必播散他们在万民中，他们在远方必记念我；他们与儿女都必存活，且得归回。
And I will sow them among the peoples; and in distant lands they will remember Me; / And they will live with their children and return.

我也必领他们从埃及地归回，招聚他们出亚述；我必领他们到基列地和利巴嫩；那里必不够他们居住。
I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt / And gather them out of Assyria; / And to the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them; / And there will not be enough room found for them.

耶和华必经过困苦海，击打海浪，尼罗河的深处都必枯干；亚述的骄傲必降为卑，埃及的权杖必然消逝。
And He will pass through the sea of distress / And 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.

我必使他们因耶和华得坚固，他们必奉祂的名行事为人，这是耶和华说的。
And I will strengthen them in Jehovah, / And they will walk about in His name, / Declares Jehovah.
