< Zechariah 14 >

1 Watch out! For the day of the Lord is coming when what has been plundered from you will be divided up right in front of you.
Gade! Men jou jijman Seyè a ap rive! Jou sa a, yo pral piye lavil Jerizalèm. Yo pral separe tou sa yo pran ladan li la devan je nou.
2 I will bring together all the nations to attack Jerusalem. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the population will be taken into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.
Seyè a pral sanble tout nasyon yo pou y' al fè lagè ak lavil Jerizalèm. Y'ap pran lavil la, y'ap piye tout kay yo, y'ap fè kadejak sou medam yo. Yo pral depòte mwatye nan moun yo. Men, rès pèp la ap rete nan lavil la.
3 Then the Lord will go out to fight against the nations as he fights in times of war.
Lèfini, Seyè a pral parèt pou li al goumen ak nasyon yo, jan li te konn goumen nan tan lontan an.
4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives which faces Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of Olives will split apart, with half moving north and half moving south, creating a wide valley from east to west.
Lè sa a, l'a desann kanpe sou mòn pye oliv yo, ki anfas lavil Jerizalèm, sou bò solèy leve. Mòn lan va fann de bò nèt ale, l'a fè yon fon nan mitan ki soti bò solèy leve desann bò solèy kouche: mwatye nan mòn lan va fè bò nò, lòt mwatye a va fè bò sid.
5 You will run away through this mountain valley for it will reach as far as Azal. You will run away like people did at the time of the earthquake during the reign of Uzzah, king of Judah. Then the Lord will come, accompanied by all his holy ones.
N'a lonje fon an pou nou kouri chape kò nou jouk n'a rive lòt bò mòn Atsèl. N'a kouri met deyò menm jan zansèt nou yo te fè l' la lè tranblemanntè a te pase sou rèy Ozyas, wa peyi Jida a. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va vini, l'ap mennen tout moun pa l' yo avè l'.
6 On that day there will be no longer cold and frost.
Lè jou sa a va rive, p'ap gen limyè, p'ap fè fredi, dlo p'ap fè glas.
7 It will be one continuous day (only the Lord knows how this could happen). It won't be day or night, because in the evening it will still be light.
Se va yon jou ki p'ap tankou lòt jou yo. Ap fè klè nèt. p'ap gen lannwit ankò. Se Seyè a sèl ki konnen lè sa va rive.
8 On that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of it going east to the Dead Sea and half going west to the Mediterranean Sea, flowing in summer and winter alike.
Lè jou sa a va rive, bèl dlo dous pral koule soti lavil Jerizalèm. Mwatye nan dlo a ap fè yon branch larivyè desann bò solèy leve, tonbe nan lanmè Mouri a. Lòt mwatye a ap desann bò solèy kouche, tonbe nan lanmè Meditèrane a. Dlo a ap koule san rete, nan sezon fredi kou nan sezon chalè.
9 The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one true Lord, and his name the only one.
Lè sa a, se Seyè a ki pral sèl wa sou tout latè. Lè sa a, se li ki pral sèl Bondye pou tout moun. Se li menm ase tout moun ap konnen.
10 The whole land will be transformed into a plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem will be raised up to where it was, and people will live there from the Benjamin Gate to where the old gate was, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.
Tout peyi a pral tounen yon gwo plenn plat, depi Geba nan nò rive Rimon nan sid, ak Jerizalèm nan mitan. Sèl lavil Jerizalèm pral rete byen wo. L'ap soti depi Pòtay Benjamen an rive nan pòtay Kwen an, kote premye pòtay la te ye a, depi Fò Annanyèl rive nan moulen rezen wa a.
11 It will be inhabited and never again condemned to destruction again—people will be able to live in safety in Jerusalem.
Moun va rete la nan lavil la, malè p'ap tonbe sou yo. Y'a viv ak kè poze lavil Jerizalèm.
12 This will be the plague that the Lord will use to strike all the nations that attacked Jerusalem. Their flesh shall rot while they are still standing on their feet; their eyes will rot in their sockets; their tongues will rot in their mouths.
Seyè a pral voye yon gwo maladi sou tout nasyon ki te fè lagè ak Jerizalèm. Y'ap rete kanpe sou de pye yo, epi tout vyann kò yo ap pouri. Grenn je yo pral pouri nan tèt yo, lang yo ap pouri nan bouch yo.
13 On that day the Lord will strike them with a terrible panic, and they will seize one another, and fight hand-to-hand.
Jou sa a, Seyè a pral fè yo pèdi tèt yo pran kouri. Yo pral tonbe yonn sou lòt, yonn pral touye lòt.
14 Even Judah will fight in Jerusalem. The wealth of the surrounding nations shall be collected: lots of gold, silver, and clothes.
Sòlda peyi Jida yo pral goumen tou pou defann lavil Jerizalèm, yo pral ranmase dènye richès moun lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè yo: lò, ajan ak rad an kantite.
15 A similar plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all other animals that may be in their camps.
Menm maladi a pral tonbe tou sou chwal, milèt, chamo, bourik, sou tout bèt ki te nan kan lènmi yo.
16 After this every one of the survivors from the nations that attacked Jerusalem will go there to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
Nan moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap fè lagè ak lavil Jerizalèm yo, genyen ki va chape, ki p'ap mouri. Moun sa yo va moute chak lanne lavil Jerizalèm pou yo adore Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Wa a. Y'a fete fèt Tant yo.
17 If any of the peoples of the world refuse to go to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.
Si yon nasyon va derefize moute lavil Jerizalèm pou yo adore Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Wa a, yon ti degout lapli p'ap tonbe nan peyi yo a menm.
18 If the Egyptian people refuse to go and attend, then the Lord will inflict on them the same plague as on the other nations who will not go celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
Si moun peyi Lejip yo derefize moute al fete fèt la, menm maladi Seyè a te voye sou moun ki derefize moute yo va tonbe sou yo tou.
19 This will be the punishment on Egypt and all the nations if they do not go to Jerusalem and celebrate.
Se chatiman sa a ki pral tonbe sou peyi Lejip ansanm ak tout lòt nasyon ki va derefize moute pou fete fèt Tant yo.
20 On that day the bells worn by horses will be engraved with the words “Holy to the Lord.” The household cooking pots used in the Lord's Temple will be as holy as the bowls used on the altar in the presence of the Lord.
Lè jou sa a va rive, y'a make sou ti klòch ki nan lekipay chwal yo: Apa pou Seyè a! Batri koujen ki nan tanp Seyè a va tankou ti bòl ki devan lotèl yo: yo va apa nèt pou Seyè a.
21 Every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, so that everyone who comes to sacrifice can take them and cook their sacrificial meat in them. On that day there will no longer be traders in the Lord's Temple.
Y'a mete tout mamit ak tout chodyè moun yo ap sèvi lavil Jerizalèm ak nan tout peyi Jida a apa pou sèvis Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a. Konsa, tout moun ki vle ofri yon bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a va vin pran yonn pou yo bouyi vyann bèt yo ofri a. Lè jou sa a va rive, p'ap gen moun k'ap vann ankò nan tanp Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
