Zechariah 12
1 The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. The Lord, stretching forth the heavens and founding the earth and forming the spirit of man within him, says:
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.
2 Behold, I will set Jerusalem as a lintel of the effects of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, yet even Judah will be in the blockade against Jerusalem.
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.
3 And this shall be: In that day, I will set Jerusalem as a burdensome stone to every people. All who will lift it up will be torn to pieces. And all the kingdoms of the earth will be gathered together against her.
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'.
4 In that day, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with stupor and his rider with madness. And I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and I will strike every horse of the people with blindness.
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.
5 And the governors of Judah will say in their heart, “Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me, in the Lord of hosts, their God.”
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.
6 In that day, I will set the governors of Judah like a flaming furnace among wood, and like a flaming torch among hay. And they will devour, to the right and to the left, all the surrounding peoples. And Jerusalem will be inhabited again, in her own place, in Jerusalem.
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.
7 And the Lord will save the tabernacles of Judah, just as in the beginning, so that the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not glorify themselves boastfully against Judah.
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.
8 In that day, the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and even he who will have offended from them, in that day, will be like David, and the house of David will be like that of God, just like an angel of the Lord in their sight.
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.
9 And this shall be in that day: I will seek to crush all the Gentiles that come against Jerusalem.
Lè sa a, m'a detwi tout nasyon ki va konprann pou yo atake lavil Jerizalèm.
10 And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of prayers. And they will look upon me, whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son, and they will feel sorrow over him, as one would be sorrowful at the death of a firstborn.
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.
11 In that day, there will be a great lamentation in Jerusalem, like the lamentation of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
Lè sa a, rèl ap pete lavil Jerizalèm tankou lè rèl te pete pou Adad-Rimòn nan plenn Megidon an.
12 And the earth will mourn: families and families separately; the families of the house of David separately, and their women separately;
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,
13 the families of the house of Nathan separately, and their women separately; the families of the house of Levi separately, and their women separately; the families of Shimei separately, and their women separately;
gason nan fanmi Levi yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, gason nan fanmi Chimèy yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò.
14 all the rest of the families, families and families separately, and their women separately.
Tout rès fanmi yo va kenbe rèl la tou, gason yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, chak fanmi bò pa yo.
