< Zechariah 14 >

1 A day is coming for the Lord, when your plundered possessions will be divided while you watch.
Gade! Men jou jijman Seyè a ap rive! Jou sa a, yo pral piye lavil Jerizalèm. Yo pral separe tou sa yo pran ladan li la devan je nou.
2 And all the nations will gather to Jerusalem, to fight against it. The city will be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city will go into captivity, and the rest of the people left in the ruins.
Seyè a pral sanble tout nasyon yo pou y' al fè lagè ak lavil Jerizalèm. Y'ap pran lavil la, y'ap piye tout kay yo, y'ap fè kadejak sou medam yo. Yo pral depòte mwatye nan moun yo. Men, rès pèp la ap rete nan lavil la.
3 Then the Lord will go forth and fight against these nations, as once he fought in the day of battle.
Lèfini, Seyè a pral parèt pou li al goumen ak nasyon yo, jan li te konn goumen nan tan lontan an.
4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, (which is opposite Jerusalem, on the east). The Mount of Olives will be split into halves, from east to west, by an exceedingly great valley; and half of the mountain will slide northwards and half southwards.
Lè sa a, l'a desann kanpe sou mòn pye oliv yo, ki anfas lavil Jerizalèm, sou bò solèy leve. Mòn lan va fann de bò nèt ale, l'a fè yon fon nan mitan ki soti bò solèy leve desann bò solèy kouche: mwatye nan mòn lan va fè bò nò, lòt mwatye a va fè bò sid.
5 You will escape through my valley – the valley between the hills will extend as far as Azel, and you will flee as you fled from before the earthquake, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. But the Lord your God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
N'a lonje fon an pou nou kouri chape kò nou jouk n'a rive lòt bò mòn Atsèl. N'a kouri met deyò menm jan zansèt nou yo te fè l' la lè tranblemanntè a te pase sou rèy Ozyas, wa peyi Jida a. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va vini, l'ap mennen tout moun pa l' yo avè l'.
6 And in that day, there will be no heat nor cold nor frost,
Lè jou sa a va rive, p'ap gen limyè, p'ap fè fredi, dlo p'ap fè glas.
7 but it will be constant day – it is known to the Lord – with neither day nor night. Even at evening time there will be light.
Se va yon jou ki p'ap tankou lòt jou yo. Ap fè klè nèt. p'ap gen lannwit ankò. Se Seyè a sèl ki konnen lè sa va rive.
8 And on that day living waters will flow from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea; in both summer and winter.
Lè jou sa a va rive, bèl dlo dous pral koule soti lavil Jerizalèm. Mwatye nan dlo a ap fè yon branch larivyè desann bò solèy leve, tonbe nan lanmè Mouri a. Lòt mwatye a ap desann bò solèy kouche, tonbe nan lanmè Meditèrane a. Dlo a ap koule san rete, nan sezon fredi kou nan sezon chalè.
9 The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one, and his name one.
Lè sa a, se Seyè a ki pral sèl wa sou tout latè. Lè sa a, se li ki pral sèl Bondye pou tout moun. Se li menm ase tout moun ap konnen.
10 The land will be changed to plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, but Jerusalem will be high and inhabited as it stands, from the Benjamin Gate up to the place of the first gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate, and as far as the king’s winepresses.
Tout peyi a pral tounen yon gwo plenn plat, depi Geba nan nò rive Rimon nan sid, ak Jerizalèm nan mitan. Sèl lavil Jerizalèm pral rete byen wo. L'ap soti depi Pòtay Benjamen an rive nan pòtay Kwen an, kote premye pòtay la te ye a, depi Fò Annanyèl rive nan moulen rezen wa a.
11 Jerusalem will be inhabited, for never again will it be doomed to destruction, and its people will abide in security.
Moun va rete la nan lavil la, malè p'ap tonbe sou yo. Y'a viv ak kè poze lavil Jerizalèm.
12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples who array themselves against Jerusalem: he will make their flesh rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouth.
Seyè a pral voye yon gwo maladi sou tout nasyon ki te fè lagè ak Jerizalèm. Y'ap rete kanpe sou de pye yo, epi tout vyann kò yo ap pouri. Grenn je yo pral pouri nan tèt yo, lang yo ap pouri nan bouch yo.
13 On that day a great panic sent by the Lord will fall on them. Everyone will seize their neighbours and attack them.
Jou sa a, Seyè a pral fè yo pèdi tèt yo pran kouri. Yo pral tonbe yonn sou lòt, yonn pral touye lòt.
14 Even Judah will fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of the surrounding nations will be gathered up – gold and silver and piles of clothing.
Sòlda peyi Jida yo pral goumen tou pou defann lavil Jerizalèm, yo pral ranmase dènye richès moun lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè yo: lò, ajan ak rad an kantite.
15 Plague will fall upon the horses, mules, camels, and asses, and on all the animals in all those camps.
Menm maladi a pral tonbe tou sou chwal, milèt, chamo, bourik, sou tout bèt ki te nan kan lènmi yo.
16 All who are left of all the nations which fought against Jerusalem will come up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the pilgrim-feast of tabernacles.
Nan moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap fè lagè ak lavil Jerizalèm yo, genyen ki va chape, ki p'ap mouri. Moun sa yo va moute chak lanne lavil Jerizalèm pou yo adore Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Wa a. Y'a fete fèt Tant yo.
17 Whoever of all the peoples of the earth will not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain.
Si yon nasyon va derefize moute lavil Jerizalèm pou yo adore Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Wa a, yon ti degout lapli p'ap tonbe nan peyi yo a menm.
18 If the family of Egypt does not go up nor enter in, on them also will come the plague with which the Lord will strike the nations.
Si moun peyi Lejip yo derefize moute al fete fèt la, menm maladi Seyè a te voye sou moun ki derefize moute yo va tonbe sou yo tou.
19 This will be the punishment for the sin of Egypt and the punishment for the sin of all nations which do not come up to keep the feast of the tabernacles.
Se chatiman sa a ki pral tonbe sou peyi Lejip ansanm ak tout lòt nasyon ki va derefize moute pou fete fèt Tant yo.
20 On that day there will be inscribed upon the bells of the horses, “Holy to the Lord” and the pots in the house of the Lord will be as holy as the sacrificial bowls before the altars.
Lè jou sa a va rive, y'a make sou ti klòch ki nan lekipay chwal yo: Apa pou Seyè a! Batri koujen ki nan tanp Seyè a va tankou ti bòl ki devan lotèl yo: yo va apa nèt pou Seyè a.
21 Every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of hosts and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and cook the sacrifices in them. There will be no more traffickers in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day.
Y'a mete tout mamit ak tout chodyè moun yo ap sèvi lavil Jerizalèm ak nan tout peyi Jida a apa pou sèvis Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a. Konsa, tout moun ki vle ofri yon bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a va vin pran yonn pou yo bouyi vyann bèt yo ofri a. Lè jou sa a va rive, p'ap gen moun k'ap vann ankò nan tanp Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
