Zechariah 12
1 A prophecy: This message came from the Lord concerning Israel, a declaration of the Lord who spread out the heavens, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who placed the breath of life within human beings.
Pwofesi pawòl SENYÈ a konsènan Israël la. Konsa pale SENYÈ ki etann syèl yo a, ki poze fondasyon latè yo, e ki kreye lespri a lòm nan anndan l lan.
2 Look! I am going to make Jerusalem like a cup containing alcoholic drink that will make all the surrounding nations stagger like drunks when they come to attack Judah and Jerusalem.
“Gade byen, Mwen ap fè Jérusalem vin yon tas ki va fè tout pèp ki antoure l yo, vin toudi. Epi nan lè syèj la kont Jérusalem nan, li va vin osi, kont Juda.
3 On that day I will make Jerusalem like a heavy rock to all peoples. Anyone who tries to lift the rock will injure themselves badly. All the nations will join together to attack Jerusalem.
Li va vin rive nan jou sa a, ke Mwen va fè Jérusalem vin yon wòch ki lou pou tout pèp yo. Tout ki vin leve l va vin blese grav. Epi tout nasyon latè yo va rasanble ansanm kont li.
4 On that day I will make every horse panic-stricken and every rider go mad, declares the Lord, but I will watch over the people of Judah while I blind all the horses of their enemies.
Nan jou sa a,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Mwen va frape tout cheval yo pou l dezoryante, e chevalye yo avèk foli. Men Mwen va ouvri zye Mwen sou lakay Juda, pandan Mwen ap frape tout cheval a pèp nasyon yo, pou yo vin avèg.
5 Then the families of Judah will say to themselves, the people of Jerusalem are strong in their God, the Lord Almighty.
Konsa, tout chèf a Juda yo, va di nan kè yo: ‘Moun ki rete Jérusalem yo se fòs mwen nan SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye pa yo a.’
6 On that day I will make the families of Judah like burning coals in a wood, like a flaming torch in a field of straw. They will burn up to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while the people of Jerusalem will live safely in their city.
Nan jou sa a, Mwen va fè chèf Juda yo vin tankou yon gwo boukan dife pami mòso bwa yo, ak yon tòch k ap fè flanm dife pami pakèt sereyal yo. Yo va devore tout pèp ki ozanviwon yo, ni sou men dwat yo, ni sou men goch yo, pandan sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, va toujou demere nan pwòp lye pa yo Jérusalem.
7 The Lord will give the victory to the soldiers of Judah first so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not be greater than that of Judah.
SENYÈ a va osi sove anpremye tant a Juda yo, pou glwa kay David la, e glwa a sila ki viv rete Jérusalem, p ap depase Juda.
8 On that day the Lord will place a shield around the people of Jerusalem so that even the clumsiest of them will be as skilled a warrior as David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord who leads them.
Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va defann moun Jérusalem yo. Sila ki fèb pami yo nan jou sa a va tankou David, e kay David la va tankou Bondye, tankou zanj SENYÈ a devan yo.
9 On that day I will start destroying all those nations that attack Jerusalem.
Epi nan jou sa a, Mwen va kòmanse detwi tout nasyon ki vini kont Jérusalem yo.
10 I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They will look at me whom they pierced, and they will wail in grief over him, mourning as for an only child, weeping bitterly as for a firstborn.
Epi Mwen va vide sou kay David la, ak sou moun Jérusalem yo, Lespri a gras, ak Lespri lapriyè pou mande mizerikòd. Konsa, yo va gade vè Mwen menm Sila ke yo te pèse a. Yo va soufri gwo doulè pou Li, tankou yon moun k ap fè dèy pou yon sèl fis li genyen, e yo va kriye anpil anpil sou Li jan yon moun ta kriye sou sèl fis inik li.
11 On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning in Hadad-Rimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
Nan jou sa a, va gen gwo doulè Jérusalem, tankou fè dèy pou Hadadrimmon nan vale Meguiddon an.
12 The land will mourn, every family alone: the family house of David alone and their women by themselves, the families of Nathan,
Peyi a va kriye, chak fanmi apa; fanmi lakay David la, apa, e madanm yo, apa; fanmi lakay Nathan an, apa, e madanm yo apa;
13 Levi, and Shimei—
fanmi lakay Levi, apa, e madanm yo, apa; fanmi a Schimeï yo, apa, e madanm yo, apa;
14 and all the surviving families and their women, each group mourning alone by themselves.
tout fanmi ki rete yo, chak fanmi apa; e madanm yo, apa.
