Zacharias 2

1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

Apre sa, mwen fè yon lòt vizyon, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè yon nonm avèk yon chenn pou mezire nan men l'.

2 And I said to him, Whither go you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.

Mwen mande l': -Kote ou prale? Li reponn mwen: -Mwen pral pran mezi lavil Jerizalèm, pou m' wè ki longè ak ki lajè li genyen.

3 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood [by], and another angel went forth to meet him,

Zanj ki t'ap pale avèk mwen an te rete kanpe. Yon lòt zanj pwoche devan l' vin jwenn li.

4 and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and cattle in the midst of her.

Premye zanj lan di dezyèm lan: -Kouri al di jenn gason ou wè ak chenn nan men l' lan: sitèlman pral gen moun ak bèt nan lavil Jerizalèm, yo p'ap bezwen bati miray pou fèmen l'.

5 And I will be to her, says the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I will be for a glory in the midst of her.

Seyè a pale, li fè konnen se li menm k'ap tankou yon gwo miray dife k'ap fè wonn lavil la pou pwoteje l'. Li di: M'ap rete nan mitan lavil la ak tout pouvwa mwen.

6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, says the Lord,

Men sa Seyè a di: -Ey! Nou menm mwen te gaye nan kat kwen latè yo, kouri, kouri kite peyi ki nan nò a.

7 [even] to Sion: deliver yourselves, you that dwell [with] the daughter of Babylon.

Ey! Nou menm moun Siyon ki rete lavil Babilòn yo, sove kò nou!

8 For thus says the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that touches the apple of his eye.

Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa di: Se li menm ki voye m'. Men sa li di sou nasyon ki te piye pèp li a. Si yon moun manyen pèp la, se tankou si li te foure dwèt nan je m'.

9 For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.

Mwen menm mwen pral regle ak nou. Moun nou te fè tounen esklav yo, se yo menm ankò ki pral piye nou. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m'.

10 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord.

Seyè a di ankò: -Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, chante! Fè kè nou kontan! Men m'ap vini pou m' rete nan mitan nou! Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa!

11 And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of you: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.

Lè sa a, anpil nasyon va vin jwenn Seyè a pou yo sèvi l'. Se pèp pa li menm y'ap ye. L'a vin rete nan mitan yo. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m' kote nou.

12 And the Lord shall inherit Juda his portion in the holy [land], and he will yet choose Jerusalem.

Seyè a va pran peyi Jida a pou li tankou pòsyon pa l' nan tè yo mete apa pou li a. L'a chwazi lavil Jerizalèm ankò.

13 Let all flesh fear before the Lord: for he has risen up from his holy clouds.

Se pou tout moun pe bouch yo devan Seyè a, paske l'ap soti kote ki apa pou li a, l'ap vin delivre nou!
