Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and of Damascus the rest thereof: for the eye of man, and of all the tribes of Israel is the Lord’s.
Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou fè konnen volonte li: Li pran desizyon pou l' pini moun peyi Adrak yo ansanm ak moun lavil Damas yo. Se pa sèlman branch fanmi Izrayèl yo ki pou Seyè a. Tout latè nèt se pou li.
2 Emath also in the borders thereof, and Tyre, and Sidon: for they have taken to themselves to be exceeding wise.
Peyi Amat ki sou fwontyè peyi Adrak la pou li tou. Moun lavil Tir ak moun lavil Sidon yo ki gen anpil ladrès, se pou li yo ye tou.
3 And Tyre hath built herself a strong hold, and heaped together silver as earth, and gold as the mire of the streets.
Lavil Tir bati gwo miray ranpa ak fò. Yo anpile lò ak ajan lakay yo tankou pousyè granchemen.
4 Behold the Lord shall possess her, and shall strike her strength in the sea, and she shall be devoured with fire.
Men, Seyè a pral pran lavil la pou li. Li pral voye tout richès li yo nan lanmè. Dife pral boule lavil la nèt.
5 Ascalon shall see, and shall fear, and Gaza, and shall be very sorrowful: and Accaron, because her hope is confounded: and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited.
Moun lavil Askalon yo pral wè sa, yo pral pè. Moun Gaza yo pral tranble kou fèy bwa. Moun lavil Ekwon yo tou, paske yo p'ap jwenn sa yo t'ap tann lan. Lavil Gaza pral pèdi wa li a. Lavil Askalon pral rete san moun ladan l'.
6 And the divider shall sit in Azotus, and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.
Moun san mele yo pral rete lavil Asdòd. M'ap kraze lògèy moun Filisti yo.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: and even he shall be left to our God, and he shall be as a governor in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.
Yo p'ap manje vyann ak tout san li ladan l' ankò, ni ankenn lòt vye manje yo te konn manje yo. Tout moun ki va chape anba lanmò va fè pati pèp Bondye a. Y'ap tankou yon branch nan fanmi Jida a. Moun Ekwon yo va menm jan ak moun Jebis yo.
8 And I will encompass my house with them that serve me in war, going and returning, and the oppressor shall no more pass through them: for now I have seen with my eyes.
Mwen pral kanpe tankou gad k'ap fè pòs nan mitan peyi a pou anpeche lòt lame pase ale vini ladan l'. Mwen p'ap kite gwo chèf vin peze yo ankò. Mwen te wè jan pèp mwen an tan soufri.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion, shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem: BEHOLD THY KING will come to thee, the just and saviour: he is poor, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Nou menm moun ki rete sou mòn Siyon an, fè fèt, fè gwo fèt! Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, rele, chante tèlman nou kontan! Gade! Men wa nou an ap vin jwenn nou! Li rann jistis san patipri. Li genyen batay la. Li san lògèy. Li moute yon bourik, yon ti bourik dèyè manman.
10 And I will destroy the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow for war shall be broken: and he shall speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power shall be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth.
Seyè a di: -M'ap wete tout cha lagè ki nan peyi Efrayim. M'ap wete dènye chwal ki nan lavil Jerizalèm. M'ap kraze dènye banza yo sèvi pou fè lagè. Wa nou an pral fè tout nasyon yo viv byen yonn ak lòt. M'ap gouvènen depi yon lanmè jouk nan lòt lanmè a, depi larivyè Lefrat jouk nan dènye bout latè.
11 Thou also by the blood of thy testament hast sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit, wherein is no water.
Seyè a di: -Akòz kontra mwen pase avè nou an, kontra ki siyen ak san bèt yo ofri yo, m'ap fè lage moun ou yo ki te nan prizon, m'ap wete yo nan fon sitèn san dlo a.
12 Return to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope, I will render thee double at, I declare today.
Nou menm prizonye k'ap tann delivrans yo, tounen, tounen non nan sitadèl kote n'a jwenn pwoteksyon an! Jòdi a, men sa m'ap di nou: n'ap resevwa de fwa plis benediksyon pase soufrans mwen te voye sou nou an.
13 Because I have bent Juda for me as a bow, I have filled Ephraim: and I will raise up thy sons, O Sion, above thy sons, O Greece, and I will make thee as the sword of the mighty.
Mwen pral sèvi ak moun Jida yo tankou banza pou fè lagè, ak moun Efrayim yo tankou flèch. Mwen pral sèvi ak moun mòn Siyon yo tankou nepe nan men vanyan sòlda, pou y' al goumen ak moun peyi Lagrès yo.
14 And the Lord God shall be seen over them, and his dart shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and go in the whirlwind of the south.
Seyè a pral parèt anlè tèt pèp li a. Li pral voye flèch li yo tankou zèklè. Seyè a, Bondye a, pral kònen twonpèt la. Li pral mache nan van siklòn k'ap soufle soti nan sid.
15 The Lord of hosts will protect them: and they shall devour, and subdue with the stones of the sling: and drinking they shall be inebriated as it were with wine, and they shall be filled as bowls, and as the horns of the altar.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral pwoteje pèp li a. Yo pral kraze zam lènmi yo anba pye yo. Pandan batay la, yo pral rele tankou moun sou. Yo pral fè san lènmi yo koule. Li pral koule tankou san bèt yo touye sou lotèl yo.
16 And the Lord their God will save them in that day, as the dock of his people: for holy stones shall be lifted up over his land.
Jou sa a, Seyè a, Bondye yo a, va delivre yo. Tankou yon bon gadò, l'ap sove bann mouton l' yo. Yo pral klere nan peyi li a tankou bèl pyè nan yon kouwòn.
17 For what is the good thing of him, and what is his beautiful thing, but the corn of the elect, and wine springing forth virgins?
Ala bon sa pral bon nan peyi a! Ala bèl peyi a pral bèl! Jenn gason ak jenn fi pral grandi ak tout grenn jaden ak tout diven yo pral rekòlte nan peyi a.
