Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus its resting-place (for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah),
Yon revelasyon. Pawòl SENYÈ a kont peyi Hadrac la, e l ap poze sou Damas, paske zye a lòm ak tout trib Israël se vè SENYÈ a,
2 and also Hamath, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
epi osi vè Hamath, ki nan lizyè li a; Tyr ak Sidon paske yo saj anpil.
3 And Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Paske Tyr te bati pou kont li yon fò; li te fè depo ajan tankou pousyè, ak depo lò tankou labou nan lari.
4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite her power in the sea, and she shall be devoured with fire.
Gade byen, SENYÈ a va rache tout sa li posede, e jete tout richès li yo nan lanmè. Li va devore nèt ak dife a.
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame. And the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Askalon va wè l e vin pè. Anplis, gaza va tòde ak gwo doulè; epi Ékron, pou sa li te atann va desi. Anplis ke sa, wa a va peri Gaza e Askalon va vin pa gen moun.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Yon ras mele va vin rete Asdod e Mwen va rache ògèy a Filisten yo.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth. And he also shall be a remnant for our God, and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Mwen va retire san li, soti nan bouch li, ak abominasyon soti nan mitan dan l yo. Konsa, yo va devni osi yon retay pou Bondye nou an. Yo va tankou yon chèf pou Juda, e Ékron va tankou Jebizyen yo.
8 And I will encamp the army around my house, that none pass through or return, and no oppressor shall pass through them any more. For now I have seen with my eyes.
Mwen va kanpe antoure kay Mwen an kont lame a, pou pèsòn moun pa travèse oswa retounen. Konsa, p ap gen moun k ap travèse pou oprime yo ankò. Paske koulye a, ak zye pa m, Mwen wè.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, thy king comes to thee. He is just, and having salvation, lowly, and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey.
Rejwi anpil, O fi a Sion an! Kriye yon son viktwa, O fi a Sion an! Gade byen wa ou ap vini kote ou; Li jis e Li gen Sali; Li enb e Li monte sou yon bourik, menm yon jenn pòtre, pitit a yon bourik.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace to the nations. And his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Mwen va koupe retire cha Éphraïm nan, ansanm ak cheval Jérusalem nan. Banza lagè a va koupe retire; Li va pale lapè a nasyon yo. Wayòm Li an va soti nan lanmè jis rive nan lanmè, e nan Rivyè Euphrate la jis pou l rive nan dènye pwent tè a.
11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
Menmjan an pou ou menm tou, akoz san akò Mwen an ki avèk ou, Mwen te mete prizonye ou yo an libète soti nan twou fòs ki pa gen dlo a.
12 Turn you back to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will render double to thee.
Retounen nan sitadèl la, O prizonye ki gen lespwa a! Nan jou sa a menm, Mwen deklare ke Mwen va remèt ou doub de sa.
13 For I have bent Judah for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim. And I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
Paske Mwen te koube Juda konsi se te banza Mwen. Mwen te plen banza a avèk Éphraïm. Mwen va fè leve fis ou yo, O Sion, kont fis ou yo, O Grèce, e Mwen va fè ou vin tankou nepe a yon gèrye pwisan.
14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them. And his arrow shall go forth as the lightning. And the lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
Epi SENYÈ a va vin parèt sou yo, e flèch Li va pati tankou kout loray. Senyè BONDYE a va sone twonpèt la, e Li va mache nan van tanpèt sid yo.
15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them. And they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones. And they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine, and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
SENYÈ dèzame yo va defann yo. Yo va devore, e yo va foule anba pye ak tout wòch fistibal yo. Yo va bwè, e fè bwi tankou se diven y ap bwè. Epi yo va vin ranpli tankou basen sakrifis, tankou kwen lotèl yo.
16 And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people, as for the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
Konsa SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a, va sove yo nan jou sa a, tankou foul moun a pèp Li a; paske yo tankou wòch presye, bijou yon kouwòn k ap klere toupatou anwo tout peyi Li a.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
Paske a la gran, bonte Li va gran, e a la gran, bèlte Li va gran! Sereyal la va fè jenn mesye yo pwospere ak diven nèf pou vyèj yo.
