Zechariah 10
1 Ask of Jehovah rain in the spring time, Jehovah who makes lightnings, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
Lè sezon prentan rive, mande Seyè a pou l' ban nou lapli. Se Seyè a ki fè loraj gwonde, ki fè gwo lapli tonbe. Li fè jaden tout moun pouse.
2 For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
Moun k'ap bat kat yo, se twonpe y'ap twonpe moun. Divinò yo menm, se manti y'ap bay. Rèv yo fè pa vle di anyen. Moun yo mete espwa yo nan bagay ki p'ap janm rive. Moun yo pèdi tèt yo tankou mouton ki pèdi bann. Yo nan traka, paske pa gen chèf pou mennen yo.
3 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 as his majestic horse in the battle.
Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen ankòlè sou moun lòt nasyon k'ap gouvènen pèp mwen an. Mwen pral pini yo. Wi, mwen pral pran swen bann mouton m' yo, moun fanmi Jida yo. Mwen pral ba yo fòs kouraj pou yo sèvi m' tankou chwal frengan pou fè lagè.
4 From him will come forth the cornerstone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
M'ap fè anpil ladan yo tounen chèf, kòmandan lame ak sòlda ki gen ladrès pou goumen. Se nan pèp la menm m'ap fè chèf ki pou gouvènen yo soti.
5 They shall be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because Jehovah is with them; and the riders on horses will be confounded.
Moun pèp Jida yo pral genyen batay la, y'ap tankou sòlda k'ap foule lènmi anba pye yo nan labou nan granchemen. Yo pral goumen, paske Seyè a la avèk yo. Tout lènmi ki sou chwal yo pral wont.
6 "I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy on them; and they will be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God, and I will hear them.
Mwen pral bay moun fanmi Jida yo fòs. Mwen pral delivre moun fanmi Jozèf yo. M'ap fè yo tounen lakay yo paske kè m' fè m' mal pou yo. Se va tankou si m' pa t' janm lage yo. Se Seyè a, Bondye yo a, mwen ye. M'ap tande lapriyè yo fè nan pye m'.
7 Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine; yes, their children will see it, and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in Jehovah.
Moun Efrayim yo pral tankou vanyan sòlda. Y'ap kontan tankou moun ki anba gwòg. Pitit pitit yo va chonje sa, y'a fè fèt. Y'a kontan pou sa Seyè a te fè pou yo.
8 I will signal for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they will increase as they have increased.
Mwen pral rele yo pou m' fè yo sanble paske mwen delivre yo. Yo pral vin peple anpil ankò, jan yo te ye anvan an.
9 I will sow them among the peoples; and they will remember me in far countries; and they will live with their children, and will return.
M'ap gaye yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Men, y'a toujou chonje m', menm lè yo nan peyi byen lwen. Y'a viv la ansanm ak pitit yo. Yon jou, y'a tounen nan peyi yo a.
10 I will bring them again also 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 there won't be room enough for them.
M'ap fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip tounen lakay yo. M'ap ranmase yo nan peyi Lasiri. Y'ap tounen vin rete nan peyi Galarad ak nan peyi Liban. Peyi a pral twò piti pou yo.
11 He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will 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.
Lè pou yo janbe lanmè peyi Lejip la, mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a frape dlo lanmè a. Epi tout kote larivyè Nil ap koule yo pral chèch. Mwen pral kraze lògèy peyi Lasiri a. Peyi Lejip pral pèdi pouvwa li.
12 I will strengthen them in Jehovah; and they will walk up and down in his name," says Jehovah.
Mwen pral bay pèp mwen fòs kouraj ankò. Y'a sèvi m', y'a fè lwanj mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
