< Zechariah 10 >

1 Aske you of the Lord raine in the time of the latter raine: so shall the Lord make white cloudes, and giue you showers of raine, and to euery one grasse 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 Surely the idols haue spoken vanitie, and the southsayers haue seene a lye, and the dreamers haue tolde a vaine thing: they comfort in vaine: therefore they went away as sheepe: they were troubled, because there was no shepheard.
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 wrath was kindled against the shepherdes, and I did visite the goates: but the Lord of hostes will visite his flocke the house of Iudah, and will make them as his beautifull horse in the battell.
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 Out of him shall the corner come foorth: out of him the nayle, out of him ye bowe of battell, and out of him euery appointer of tribute also.
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 And they shalbe as the mightie men, which treade downe their enemies in the mire of the streetes in the battell, and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall 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 And I will strengthen the house of Iudah, and I will preserue the house of Ioseph, and I wil bring them againe, for I pitie them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will heare 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 And they of Ephraim shall be as a gyant, and their heart shall reioyce as thorowe wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad: and their heart shall reioyce in the Lord.
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 hisse for them, and gather them: for I haue redeemed them: and they shall encrease, as they haue encreased.
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 And I will sowe them among the people, and they shall remember me in farre countreys: and they shall liue with their children and turne againe.
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 againe also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Asshur: and I will bring them into the land of Gilead, and Lebanon, and place shall not be found 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 And he shall goe into the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waues in the sea, and all the depthes of the riuer shall drye vp: and the pride of Asshur shall be cast downe, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart away.
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 And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walke in his Name, sayth the Lord.
Mwen pral bay pèp mwen fòs kouraj ankò. Y'a sèvi m', y'a fè lwanj mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
