Zacarias 10

Studie

   

1 Hingin ninyo sa Panginoon ang ulan sa kapanahunan ng huling ulan, sa Panginoon na nagpapakidlat; at kaniyang bibigyan sila ng ulan, at ang bawa't isa'y ng damo sa parang.

2 Sapagka't ang mga teraf ay nagsalita ng walang kabuluhan, at ang mga manghuhula ay nangakakita ng isang kabulaanan; at sila'y nangagsaysay ng mga kabulaanang panaginip, sila'y nagsisialiw ng walang kabuluhan: kaya't sila'y nagsisiyaon ng kanilang lakad na parang mga tupa, sila'y nadadalamhati, sapagka't walang pastor.

3 Ang aking galit ay nagalab laban sa mga pastor, at aking parurusahan ang mga lalaking kambing; sapagka't dinalaw ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo ang kaniyang kawan na sangbahayan ni Juda, at kaniyang gagawin silang parang magilas na kabayo sa pagbabaka.

4 Sa kaniya lalabas ang batong panulok, sa kaniya ang pako, sa kaniya ang busog na pangbaka, sa kaniya ang bawa't pinuno na magkakasama.

5 At sila'y magiging parang mga makapangyarihang lalake, na yayapakan nila ang kanilang mga kaaway sa putik sa mga lansangan sa pagbabaka; at sila'y magsisilaban, sapagka't ang Panginoon ay sumasakanila; at ang mga mangangabayo ay mangatutulig.

6 At aking palalakasin ang sangbahayan ni Juda, at aking ililigtas ang sangbahayan ni Jose, at aking ibabalik sila uli; sapagka't ako'y naawa sa kanila; at sila'y magiging parang hindi ko itinakuwil: sapagka't ako ang Panginoon nilang Dios, at aking didinggin sila.

7 At ang mga sa Ephraim ay magiging parang makapangyarihang lalake, at ang kanilang puso ay mangagagalak na gaya ng sa alak; oo, ito'y makikita ng kanilang mga anak, at mangagagalak: ang kanilang puso ay masasayahan sa Panginoon.

8 Aking susutsutan sila, at sila'y pipisanin; sapagka't aking tinubos sila; at sila'y magsisidami ng gaya ng kanilang dinami.

9 At aking pangangalatin sila sa gitna ng mga bansa; at aalalahanin nila ako sa mga malayong lupain; at sila'y nagsisitahang kasama ng kanilang mga anak, at magsisipagbalik.

10 Aking dadalhin uli sila mula sa lupain ng Egipto, at pipisanin sila mula sa Asiria; at aking dadalhin sila sa lupain ng Galaad at Libano; at walang dakong masusumpungan para sa kanila.

11 At siya'y magdadaan ng dagat ng kadalamhatian, at hahawiin ang mga alon sa dagat, at ang lahat ng kalaliman sa Nilo ay matutuyo; at ang kapalaluan ng Asiria ay mababagsak, at ang cetro ng Egipto ay mawawala.

12 At aking palalakasin sila sa Panginoon; at sila'y magsisilakad na paitaas at paibaba sa kaniyang pangalan, sabi ng Panginoon.

19. 17. To whom will ye liken Me, to whom am I equal? saith the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold, who hath created these things, etc. (Isaiah 40:25-26).

(My judgment is with Jehovah, and the price of My work is with my God. Then shall I be precious in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God shall be my strength. Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me (Isaiah 49:4-5, 14). Because of Jehovah that is faithful and the Holy One of Israel who chooseth thee [Isaiah 49:7].)

I have given Thee for a light to the nations, that Thou mayest be My salvation unto the end of the earth. I have given Thee for a covenant of the people, to restore the earth, to divide the devastated heritages; to say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Reveal. They shall feed in the ways, and their pasture shall be on all hillsides; they shall not hunger nor thirst; by the springs of water shall He lead them (Isaiah 49:6, 8-10).

(Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and stay upon his God (Isaiah 50:10).)

Look to me ye that follow after justice, ye that seek Jehovah; look unto the rock whence ye are hewn (Isaiah 51:1). Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah, awake as in the days of old (Isaiah 51:9).

I will put my words in thy mouth, for the planting of the heavens, and laying the foundations of the earth (Isaiah 51:16). (My people shall know My name in that day, for I am He that doth speak: Behold, it is I. How delightful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that causeth to hear peace, that saith unto Zion, Thy king reigneth. Watchmen shall lift up the voice; together shall they sing when they shall see eye to eye, that Jehovah returneth to Zion (Isaiah 52:6-7).

Jehovah hath made bare the arm of His holiness in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God (Isaiah 52:10).

Who hath believed our word that is heard? and upon whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed (Isaiah 53:1)?

(The Lord is treated of throughout the chapter, and the state of His life is described here briefly in these words. That He had no form nor honor; that He was despised and not esteemed. That He was wounded on account of our transgressions, and bruised on account of our iniquities. That Jehovah hath made to light on Him the iniquity of us all. That He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter; that He was cut off from the land of the living. That because He offered His soul as a guilt offering His days were prolonged, and that the will of Jehovah prospered by His hand, in the fact that He bore their iniquities, and for them poured out His soul even unto death. That He was numbered with the transgressors, and interceded for the transgressors (Isaiah 53:1-12).
