< Zakari 12 >

1 Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou fè konnen volonte l' sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Men desizyon li pran, li menm Seyè a, ki louvri syèl la nan plas li, ki kreye latè a epi ki bay moun lavi.
The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel; saith the Lord, that stretches out the sky, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.
2 Mwen pral fè lavil Jerizalèm fè moun lòt nasyon ki bò kote l' yo pèdi tèt yo, tankou moun ki sou. Lè y'a sènen lavil Jerizalèm, yo pral sènen lavil ki nan rès peyi Jida yo tou.
Behold, I [will] make Jerusalem as trembling door-posts to all the nations round about, and in Judea there shall be a siege against Jerusalem.
3 Lè sa a, m'ap fè lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon gwo wòch lou kou pwa senkant. Tout nasyon ki va chache leve l' va foule anba l'. Tout moun sou latè pral mete ansanm pou yo atake l'.
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will make Jerusalem a trodden stone to all the nations: every one that tramples on it shall utterly mock at [it], and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.
4 Jou sa a atò, m'ap fè tout chwal yo lonbraje, m'ap fè kavalye yo depale. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. M'ap veye pèp Jida a pou anyen pa rive yo. Men, m'ap fè tout chwal lènmi l' yo vin avèg.
In that day, saith the Lord Almighty, I will smite every horse with amazement, and his rider with madness: but I will open mine eyes upon the house of Juda, and I will smite all the horses of the nations with blindness.
5 Lè sa a, moun fanmi Jida yo va di nan kè yo se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye yo a, ki tout fòs moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo.
And the captains of thousands of Juda shall say in their hearts, We shall find for ourselves the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the Lord Almighty their God.
6 Lè sa a, m'ap fè moun fanmi Jida yo tounen tankou yon boukan dife nan mitan yon rakbwa, osinon y'ap tankou bwa chandèl limen nan mitan pay chèch. L'ap devore tout peyi ki toupre l' yo, sou bò gòch ak sou bò dwat. Men, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ap rete nan plas yo.
In that day I will make the captains of thousands of Juda as a firebrand among wood, and as a torch of fire in stubble; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the nations round about: and Jerusalem shall dwell again by herself, [even] in Jerusalem.
7 Premye moun Seyè a ap delivre, se va moun Jida yo. Konsa, lwanj y'a fè pou pitit pitit David yo ak pou pèp Jerizalèm lan p'ap pi gwo pase lwanj y'ap fè pou rès moun Jida yo.
And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda as at the beginning, that the boast of the house of David, and the pride of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not magnify themselves against Juda.
8 Lè sa a, Seyè a va louvri zèl li pou l' pwoteje tout moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo. Wi, lè sa a, menm pi fèb la ap gen fòs tankou David. Pitit pitit David yo va alatèt pou dirije yo tankou Bondye, tankou zanj Seyè a.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the weak one among them in that day shall be as David, and the house of David as the house of God, as the angel of the Lord before them.
9 Lè sa a, m'a detwi tout nasyon ki va konprann pou yo atake lavil Jerizalèm.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 M'a fè pitit pitit David yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo gen bon kè. M'a fè yo konn lapriyè nan pye m'. Y'a leve je yo gade m', y'a wè moun yo te pèse a. Y'a nan gwo lapenn pou li tankou moun ki pèdi sèl pitit li te genyen an. Y'a pete rele tankou moun ki pèdi premye pitit gason yo.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon me, because they have mocked [me], and they shall make lamentation for him, as for a beloved [friend], and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn [son].
11 Lè sa a, rèl ap pete lavil Jerizalèm tankou lè rèl te pete pou Adad-Rimòn nan plenn Megidon an.
In that day the lamentation in Jerusalem shall be very great, as the mourning for the pomegranate grove cut down in the plain.
12 Nan peyi a, chak fanmi va mete tèt yo ansanm pou yo rele pou kont yo, gason nan fanmi David yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, gason nan fanmi Natan yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò,
And the land shall lament in separate families, the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
13 gason nan fanmi Levi yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, gason nan fanmi Chimèy yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò.
the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Symeon by itself, and their wives by themselves;
14 Tout rès fanmi yo va kenbe rèl la tou, gason yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, chak fanmi bò pa yo.
all the families that are left, each family by itself, and their wives by themselves.
