Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the worde of the Lord in the land of Hadrach: and Damascus shalbe his rest: when the eyes of man, euen of all the tribes of Israel shalbe toward the Lord.
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 And Hamath also shall border thereby: Tyrus also and Zidon, though they be very 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 For Tyrus did build her selfe a strong holde, and heaped vp siluer as the dust, and golde as the myre of the streetes.
Lavil Tir bati gwo miray ranpa ak fò. Yo anpile lò ak ajan lakay yo tankou pousyè granchemen.
4 Beholde, the Lord wil spoyle her, and he wil smite her power in the Sea, and she shalbe deuoured 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 Ashkelon shall see it, and feare, and Azzah also shalbe very sorowfull, and Ekron: for her countenance shalbe ashamed, and the King shall perish from Azzah, and Ashkelon 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 stranger shall dwell in Ashdod, and I wil cut off the pride of the Philistims.
Moun san mele yo pral rete lavil Asdòd. M'ap kraze lògèy moun Filisti yo.
7 And I wil take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from betweene his teeth: but he that remaineth, euen he shalbe for our God, and he shalbe as a prince in Iudah, but Ekron shalbe as a Iebusite.
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 campe about mine House against the armie, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, and no oppressour shall come vpon them any more: for now haue I seene with mine 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 Reioyce greatly, O daughter Zion: shoute for ioy, O daughter Ierusalem: beholde, thy King commeth vnto thee: he is iust and saued himselfe, poore and riding vpon an asse, and vpon a colt the foale of an asse.
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 wil cut off the charets from Ephraim, and the horse from Ierusalem: the bowe of the battel shalbe broken, and he shall speake peace vnto the heathen, and his dominion shalbe from sea vnto sea, and from the Riuer to the end of the land.
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 shalt be saued through the blood of thy couenant. I haue loosed 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 Turne you to the strong holde, ye prisoners of hope: euen to day doe I declare, that I will render the double vnto thee.
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 For Iudah haue I bent as a bowe for me: Ephraims hand haue I filled, and I haue raised vp thy sonnes, O Zion, against thy sonnes, O Grecia, and haue made thee as a gyants sword.
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 shalbe seene ouer them, and his arrowe shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blowe the trumpet, and shall come forth with the whirlewindes 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 hostes shall defend them, and they shall deuoure them, and subdue them with sling stones, and they shall drinke, and make a noyse as thorowe wine, and they shalbe filled like bowles, and as the hornes 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 shall deliuer them in that day as the flocke of his people: for they shall be as the stones of the crowne lifted up upon 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 howe great is his goodnesse! and howe great is his beautie! corne shall make the yong men cherefull, and newe wine the maides.
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.
