¹Ask of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain; Jehovah will make lightnings, and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

¹Mangataha ranonorana amin'i Jehovah ianareo amin'ny andro fara-orana, Dia amin'i Jehovah, Izay manao ny helatra; Ranonorana mivatravatra no homeny azy, Eny, samy homeny ny zava-maitso any an-tsaha ireny.

²For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams: they comfort in vain. Therefore they have gone away as a flock, they are in distress, because there is no shepherd.

²Fa ny sampy niteny zava-poana, Ary ny mpanao fankatovana nahita lainga Ka nilaza nofy lainga, Foana ny nampiononany; Koa izany no naniavany toy ny ondry Ory izy, satria tsy misy mpiandry. [heb. terafima]

³Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for Jehovah of hosts visiteth his flock, the house of Judah, and maketh them as his majestic horse in the battle.

³Amin'ny mpiandry ondry no irehetan'ny fahatezerako, Ary ireo osilahy no hovaliako; Fa Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, efa namangy ny taranak'i Joda ondriny Ka manao azy toy ny soavaliny miravaka eo amin'ny ady.

⁴From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor together.

⁴Avy ao aminy no hihavian'ny fehizoro, Avy ao aminy no hihavian'ny fihantonan-javatra, Avy ao aminy no hihavian'ny tsipìka fiadiana, Avy ao aminy no hihavian'ny mpampahory rehetra.

⁵And they shall be as mighty men, treading down the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, for Jehovah is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

⁵Ary ho toy ny lehilahy mahery ireo, Izay manitsaka ny fotaka eny an-dalana amin'ny ady, Hiady izy, satria Jehovah no momba azy; Ary homenarina ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly.

⁶And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back again; for I will have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God, and I will answer them.

⁶Hampahery ny taranak'i Joda Aho, Ary ny taranak'i Josefa hovonjeko ka hampodiko, Satria mamindra fo aminy Aho, Ka ho toy izay tsy nariako izy; Fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamaniny ka hihaino azy. [na: hamponeniko]

⁷And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their hearts shall rejoice as through wine; and their children shall see [it], and rejoice; their heart shall be joyful in Jehovah.

⁷Ho toy ny lehilahy mahery Efraima, Ary hifaly toy ny azon'ny divay ny fony; Ny zanany hahita ka ho faly; Hifaly amin'i Jehovah ny fony.

⁸I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall multiply as they used to multiply.

⁸Hisiaka hiantso azy Aho ka hanangona azy, Fa efa nanavotra azy Aho; Ka dia mbola hihamaro toy ny efa nihamaroany ihany izy.

⁹And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children and return.

⁹Ary hafafiko any amin'ny firenena izy, Ka any amin'ny tany lavitra no hahatsiarovany Ahy; Ary samy ho velona izy mbamin'ny zanany ka hiverina [na: ary na dia hafafiko any amin'ny firenena aza izy , dia hahatsiaro Ahy any amin'ny tany lavitra]

¹⁰And I will bring them again out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for them.

¹⁰Dia hampody azy avy any amin'ny tany Egypta Aho sy hanangona azy avy any Asyria; Ary ho any amin'ny tany- Gileada sy Libanona no hitondrako azy, Ka tsy ho omby azy izany

¹¹And he shall pass through the sea of affliction, and shall smite the billows in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

¹¹Dia hamaky ny ranomasim-pahoriana izy ka hamely ny onjan-dranomasina, Ho ritra ny rano lalin'i Neily rehetra, Haetry ny avonavon'i Asyria, Ary hiala ny tehina fanapahan'i Egypta.Dia hampahereziko ao amin'i Jehovah izy, Ka ny anarany no handehanany, hoy Jehovah.

¹²And I will strengthen them in Jehovah; and they shall walk in his name, saith Jehovah.

¹²Dia hampahereziko ao amin'i Jehovah izy, Ka ny anarany no handehanany, hoy Jehovah.
