Zechariah 10
1 Ask the Lord for rain in springtime, for he makes the rainclouds and sends showers to grow crops for everyone.
Mande pou lapli ki sòti nan SENYÈ a nan epòk prentan. Se SENYÈ a ki fè nwaj tanpèt yo; epi se Li ki bay lapli lejè a tout pou jaden plant yo.
2 Household idols give worthless answers, fortune-tellers tell lies, while interpreters of dreams just make things up and offer only false hope. As a result, people wander aimlessly like sheep, suffering because there is no shepherd.
Paske zidòl lakay yo pale inikite; divinò yo k ap fè vizyon ki pa vrè, ke yo repete kòn fo rèv. Yo bay rekonfò an ven. Konsa, pèp la mache egare tankou mouton; yo aflije akoz yo pa gen bèje.
3 I am angry with the shepherds, I will punish the leaders. For the Lord Almighty cares for his flock, the people of Judah, and will make them like his splendid warhorse.
Kòlè Mwen limen kont bèje yo. Mwen va pini mal kabrit yo, paske SENYÈ dèzame yo te vizite bann mouton li an lakay Juda, e Li va fè yo vin tankou cheval majeste Li nan batay la.
4 From the people of Judah will come the cornerstone, from them the tent-peg, the bow used in battle—all their rulers together.
De li menm, va vin parèt wòch ang lan, de li menm, pikèt tant lan, de li menm, banza batay la, de li menm, tout wa yo ansanm.
5 They will be like warriors going into battle, trampling their enemies in the mud. Because the Lord is with them they will fight and defeat the enemy cavalry.
Yo va tankou mesye pwisan yo, k ap foule lènmi yo anba pye yo, nan labou lari a nan batay la. Yo va goumen, paske SENYÈ a va avèk yo; epi sila ki monte sou cheval yo va anbwouye.
6 I will strengthen the people of Judah; I will save the people of Joseph. I will bring them back home because I am concerned for them. It will be like I had never rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and I will answer their cries for help.
Mwen va ranfòse lakay Juda a, Mwen va sove lakay Joseph la, e mwen va fè yo retounen; paske Mwen gen konpasyon pou yo. Konsa, yo va vin konsi Mwen pa t janm rejte yo, paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye yo, e mwen va reponn yo.
7 The people of Ephraim will become like warriors, and they will become so happy—as if they had drunk wine. Their children will see what is happening and will be glad too, joyful in the Lord.
Éphraïm va vin tankou yon gwo nonm pwisan e kè yo va kontan konsi se ak diven. Anverite, pitit yo va wè sa, e yo va kontan, kè yo va rejwi nan SENYÈ a.
8 I will whistle to them and they will run to me. I will rescue them, and there will be as many as there were before.
Mwen va soufle pou yo pou yo kab vin rasanble yo, paske Mwen te rachte yo. Konsa, yo va vin anpil, jan yo te ye oparavan an.
9 I have scattered them like seed among the nations, and in distant places they will remember me. They will bring up their children, and together they will return.
Lè Mwen gaye yo pami lòt pèp yo, yo va sonje Mwen nan peyi lwen yo. Yo va viv ak pitit yo, e yo va retounen.
10 I will bring them back from the land of Egypt; I will gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon, and there won't be enough room for them!
Mwen va mennen yo retounen soti nan peyi Égypte la, e rasanble yo soti Assyrie. Mwen va mennen yo antre nan peyi Galaad ak Liban jiskaske pa gen espas pou yo.
11 They will pass through the sea of trouble and strike the waves of the sea, and the waters of the Nile will dry up. Assyria's pride will be brought down, and Egypt's rule will pass away.
Li va pase nan lanmè afliksyon an, e Li va frape lanm lanmè yo, jiskaske tout pwofondè Rivyè Nil lan vin sèch. Epi ògèy Assyrie va vin bese e baton Égypte la va sòti.
12 I will make them strong in the Lord, and they will follow all he says, declares the Lord.
Mwen va ranfòse yo nan SENYÈ a. Nan non pa Li, yo va mache monte desann” deklare SENYÈ a.
