Zakari 10

1 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.

They asked of Jehovah rain in a time of latter rain, Jehovah is making lightnings, And rain [in] showers He doth give to them. To each — the herb in the field.

2 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.

Because the teraphim did speak iniquity, And the diviners have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak, [With] vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed as a flock, They are afflicted, for there is no shepherd.

3 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.

Against the shepherds did Mine anger burn, And against the he-goats I lay a charge, For inspected hath Jehovah of Hosts His flock, the house of Judah, And set them as His beauteous horse in battle.

4 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.

From him [is] a corner-stone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goeth forth every exactor together.

5 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.

And they have been as heroes, Treading in mire of out-places in battle, And they have fought, for Jehovah [is] with them, And have put to shame riders of horses.

6 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'.

And I have made mighty the house of Judah, And the house of Joseph I do save, And I have caused them to dwell, for I have loved them, And they have been as [if] I had not cast them off, For I [am] Jehovah their God, And I answer them.

7 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.

And Ephraim hath been as a hero, And rejoiced hath their heart as wine, And their sons see, and they have rejoiced, Rejoice doth their heart in Jehovah.

8 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.

I hist for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they did multiply.

9 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.

And I sow them among peoples, And in far-off places they remember Me, And they have lived with their sons, And they have turned back.

10 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.

And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And from Asshur I do gather them, And unto the land of Gilead and Lebanon I do bring them in, And there is not found for them [space].

11 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.

And He hath passed over through the sea, And hath pressed and smitten billows in the sea, And dried up have been all depths of a flood, And brought down hath been the excellency of Asshur, And the rod of Egypt doth turn aside.

12 Mwen pral bay pèp mwen fòs kouraj ankò. Y'a sèvi m', y'a fè lwanj mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!

And I have made them mighty in Jehovah, And in His name they walk up and down, An affirmation of Jehovah!
