Zakari 6
1 Mwen fè yon lòt vizyon ankò, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè kat cha lagè ki t'ap soti nan fant de mòn fèt an kwiv.
Again I looked up, and saw four chariots come from between two mountains. The mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 Premye cha a te gen chwal wouj ki t'ap rale l'. Dezyèm cha a te gen chwal nwa ki t'ap rale l'.
The first chariot had red horses. The second chariot had black horses,
3 Twazyèm cha a te gen chwal blan ki t'ap rale l'. Katriyèm cha a te gen chwal takte wouj ki t'ap rale l'.
the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses.
4 Mwen pran lapawòl, mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Sa sa yo ye, mèt?
Then I said to the messenger who talked with me, ‘What are these, my lord?’
5 Zanj lan reponn mwen: -Se kat van ki fèk soti devan Mèt tout latè a.
The messenger answered me, ‘These are the four winds of heaven going out after standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Cha chwal nwa yo t'ap rale a pran direksyon peyi ki sou bò nò a. Cha chwal blan yo t'ap rale a pran menm direksyon an. Cha chwal takte wouj yo t'ap rale a pran direksyon peyi ki sou bò sid la.
The black horses are going toward the north country and the white toward the west and the dappled toward the south country.’
7 Lè chwal takte wouj yo parèt, yo t'ap pyafe, yo pa t' ka tann ankò pou y' al toupatou sou latè. Zanj lan di yo: -Ale toupatou sou latè! Yo kouri ale toupatou sou latè.
The strong horses came out, and were impatient to patrol the earth. So he said, ‘Go, patrol the earth,’ and they did so.
8 Lèfini, zanj lan rele m', li di m' konsa: -Chwal ou wè ki pran direksyon peyi ki sou bò nò a fè kòlè Seyè a tonbe.
Then he cried out to me, ‘The horses that went to the north country will quiet my spirit in the north country.’
9 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:
Now this message of the Lord came to me:
10 -W'a pran ofrann moun ki soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a: Eldayi, Tobija ak Jedaya. W'a ale lakay Jozyas, pitit gason Sofoni an, ki fèk rive soti lavil Babilòn.
Take the gifts from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah who have come from Babylon and go at once to Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
11 W'a pran ajan ak lò yo te ba ou yo, w'a fè yon kouwòn, w'a mete l' sou tèt Jozye, pitit gason Jozadak la, granprèt la.
Take their silver and gold and make a crown and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
12 Lèfini, w'a pale avè l', w'a di l': Men sa Seyè a di: Men moun yo rele Boujon an. Li pral pouse kote li ye a. Li pral rebati kay ki apa pou Seyè a.
Tell him: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. He will branch out from his place and rebuild the temple of the Lord.
13 Se li menm ki pral rebati kay ki apa pou Seyè a. Yo pral konsidere l' tankou yon wa. Li pral chita sou fòtèy la pou l' gouvènen pèp mwen an. Va gen yon prèt bò kote l'. Y'a travay ansanm ak kè poze.
He will rebuild the temple and will sit and rule upon his throne, receiving the honour due to a king. A priest will stand by his throne and they will work together in peace and harmony.
14 Kouwòn lan menm va rete nan kay ki apa pou Seyè a. L'a sèvi pou fè moun toujou chonje Eldayi, Tobija, Jedaja ak Jozyas, pitit gason Sofoni an.
The crown will be a memorial in the temple of the Lord for Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah, and Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
15 Moun ki rete byen lwen va vini, y'a ede nou rebati tanp Seyè a. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m' kote nou. Se sa menm ki va rive si nou fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou lòd fè.
People from far away will come and build in the temple of the Lord and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.’
