Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel; )
Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou fè konnen volonte li: Li pran desizyon pou l' pini moun peyi Adrak yo ansanm ak moun lavil Damas yo. Se pa sèlman branch fanmi Izrayèl yo ki pou Seyè a. Tout latè nèt se pou li.
2 and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.
Peyi Amat ki sou fwontyè peyi Adrak la pou li tou. Moun lavil Tir ak moun lavil Sidon yo ki gen anpil ladrès, se pou li yo ye tou.
3 And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Lavil Tir bati gwo miray ranpa ak fò. Yo anpile lò ak ajan lakay yo tankou pousyè granchemen.
4 Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Men, Seyè a pral pran lavil la pou li. Li pral voye tout richès li yo nan lanmè. Dife pral boule lavil la nèt.
5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Moun lavil Askalon yo pral wè sa, yo pral pè. Moun Gaza yo pral tranble kou fèy bwa. Moun lavil Ekwon yo tou, paske yo p'ap jwenn sa yo t'ap tann lan. Lavil Gaza pral pèdi wa li a. Lavil Askalon pral rete san moun ladan l'.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines;
Moun san mele yo pral rete lavil Asdòd. M'ap kraze lògèy moun Filisti yo.
7 and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Yo p'ap manje vyann ak tout san li ladan l' ankò, ni ankenn lòt vye manje yo te konn manje yo. Tout moun ki va chape anba lanmò va fè pati pèp Bondye a. Y'ap tankou yon branch nan fanmi Jida a. Moun Ekwon yo va menm jan ak moun Jebis yo.
8 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.
Mwen pral kanpe tankou gad k'ap fè pòs nan mitan peyi a pou anpeche lòt lame pase ale vini ladan l'. Mwen p'ap kite gwo chèf vin peze yo ankò. Mwen te wè jan pèp mwen an tan soufri.
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Nou menm moun ki rete sou mòn Siyon an, fè fèt, fè gwo fèt! Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, rele, chante tèlman nou kontan! Gade! Men wa nou an ap vin jwenn nou! Li rann jistis san patipri. Li genyen batay la. Li san lògèy. Li moute yon bourik, yon ti bourik dèyè manman.
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 unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
Seyè a di: -M'ap wete tout cha lagè ki nan peyi Efrayim. M'ap wete dènye chwal ki nan lavil Jerizalèm. M'ap kraze dènye banza yo sèvi pou fè lagè. Wa nou an pral fè tout nasyon yo viv byen yonn ak lòt. M'ap gouvènen depi yon lanmè jouk nan lòt lanmè a, depi larivyè Lefrat jouk nan dènye bout latè.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
Seyè a di: -Akòz kontra mwen pase avè nou an, kontra ki siyen ak san bèt yo ofri yo, m'ap fè lage moun ou yo ki te nan prizon, m'ap wete yo nan fon sitèn san dlo a.
12 Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.
Nou menm prizonye k'ap tann delivrans yo, tounen, tounen non nan sitadèl kote n'a jwenn pwoteksyon an! Jòdi a, men sa m'ap di nou: n'ap resevwa de fwa plis benediksyon pase soufrans mwen te voye sou nou an.
13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man.
Mwen pral sèvi ak moun Jida yo tankou banza pou fè lagè, ak moun Efrayim yo tankou flèch. Mwen pral sèvi ak moun mòn Siyon yo tankou nepe nan men vanyan sòlda, pou y' al goumen ak moun peyi Lagrès yo.
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 march with whirlwinds of the south.
Seyè a pral parèt anlè tèt pèp li a. Li pral voye flèch li yo tankou zèklè. Seyè a, Bondye a, pral kònen twonpèt la. Li pral mache nan van siklòn k'ap soufle soti nan sid.
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 from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral pwoteje pèp li a. Yo pral kraze zam lènmi yo anba pye yo. Pandan batay la, yo pral rele tankou moun sou. Yo pral fè san lènmi yo koule. Li pral koule tankou san bèt yo touye sou lotèl yo.
16 And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon his land.
Jou sa a, Seyè a, Bondye yo a, va delivre yo. Tankou yon bon gadò, l'ap sove bann mouton l' yo. Yo pral klere nan peyi li a tankou bèl pyè nan yon kouwòn.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
Ala bon sa pral bon nan peyi a! Ala bèl peyi a pral bèl! Jenn gason ak jenn fi pral grandi ak tout grenn jaden ak tout diven yo pral rekòlte nan peyi a.
