Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with a measuring line in his hand.
Apre sa, mwen fè yon lòt vizyon, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè yon nonm avèk yon chenn pou mezire nan men l'.
2 And I said: Whither goest thou? and he said to me: To measure Jerusalem, and to see how great is the breadth thereof, and how great the length thereof.
Mwen mande l': -Kote ou prale? Li reponn mwen: -Mwen pral pran mezi lavil Jerizalèm, pou m' wè ki longè ak ki lajè li genyen.
3 And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him.
Zanj ki t'ap pale avèk mwen an te rete kanpe. Yon lòt zanj pwoche devan l' vin jwenn li.
4 And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, by reason of the multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst thereof.
Premye zanj lan di dezyèm lan: -Kouri al di jenn gason ou wè ak chenn nan men l' lan: sitèlman pral gen moun ak bèt nan lavil Jerizalèm, yo p'ap bezwen bati miray pou fèmen l'.
5 And I will be to it, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof.
Seyè a pale, li fè konnen se li menm k'ap tankou yon gwo miray dife k'ap fè wonn lavil la pou pwoteje l'. Li di: M'ap rete nan mitan lavil la ak tout pouvwa mwen.
6 O, O flee ye out of the land of the north, saith the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, saith the Lord.
Men sa Seyè a di: -Ey! Nou menm mwen te gaye nan kat kwen latè yo, kouri, kouri kite peyi ki nan nò a.
7 O Sion, flee, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon:
Ey! Nou menm moun Siyon ki rete lavil Babilòn yo, sove kò nou!
8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: After the glory he hath sent me to the nations that have robbed you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of my eye:
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa di: Se li menm ki voye m'. Men sa li di sou nasyon ki te piye pèp li a. Si yon moun manyen pèp la, se tankou si li te foure dwèt nan je m'.
9 For behold I lift up my hand upon them, and they shall be a prey to those that served them: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me.
Mwen menm mwen pral regle ak nou. Moun nou te fè tounen esklav yo, se yo menm ankò ki pral piye nou. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m'.
10 Sing praise, and rejoice, O daughter of Sion: for behold I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: saith the Lord.
Seyè a di ankò: -Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, chante! Fè kè nou kontan! Men m'ap vini pou m' rete nan mitan nou! Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa!
11 And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to thee.
Lè sa a, anpil nasyon va vin jwenn Seyè a pou yo sèvi l'. Se pèp pa li menm y'ap ye. L'a vin rete nan mitan yo. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m' kote nou.
12 And the Lord shall possess Juda his portion in the sanctified land: and he shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Seyè a va pran peyi Jida a pou li tankou pòsyon pa l' nan tè yo mete apa pou li a. L'a chwazi lavil Jerizalèm ankò.
13 Let all flesh be silent at the presence of the Lord: for he is risen up out of his. holy habitation.
Se pou tout moun pe bouch yo devan Seyè a, paske l'ap soti kote ki apa pou li a, l'ap vin delivre nou!
