Zechariah 1
1 In the eight moneth of the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto Zechariah the sonne of Berechiah, the sonne of Iddo, the Prophet, saying,
Nan uityèm mwa, dezyèm ane Wa Darius la, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Zacharie, pwofèt la, fis a Bérékia, fis a Iddo a. Li te di:
2 The Lord hath bene sore displeased with your fathers.
“SENYÈ a te fache anpil anpil avèk zansèt nou yo.
3 Therefore say thou vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Turne ye vnto me, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will turne vnto you, saith the Lord of hostes.
Konsa, se pou ou di a yo menm: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Retounen vin jwenn Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Pou M kapab retounen vin jwenn nou,” pale SENYÈ dèzame yo.
4 Be ye not as your fathers, vnto whome the former prophets haue cried, saying, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Turne you nowe from your euill wayes, and from your wicked workes: but they would not heare, nor hearken vnto me, saith the Lord.
“Pa fè tankou zansèt nou yo, a sila ansyen pwofèt yo te kriye e te di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Retounen koulye a, kite chemen mechan ak zak mechan nou yo.’ Men yo pa t koute, ni okipe Mwen’, deklare SENYÈ a.
5 your fathers, where are they? and doe the Prophets liue for euer?
Papa zansèt nou yo, ki kote yo ye? Epi pwofèt yo, èske yo viv pou tout tan?
6 But did not my wordes and my statutes, which I commanded by my seruants ye Prophets, take holde of your fathers? and they returned, and sayd, As the Lord of hostes hath determined to doe vnto vs, according to our owne wayes, and according to our workes, so hath hee dealt with vs.
Men èske pawòl Mwen yo, ak règleman Mwen yo, lòd ke M te bay a sèvitè Mwen yo, pwofèt yo, èske yo pa t depase zansèt nou yo? “Konsa yo te repanti, e te di: ‘Jan SENYÈ dèzame yo te gen entansyon fè ak nou selon chemen ak zak nou yo, se konsa Li fin aji avèk nou.’”
7 Vpon the foure and twentieth day of the eleuenth moneth, which is the moneth Shebat, in the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto Zechariah the sonne of Berechiah, the sonne of Iddo the Prophet, saying,
Nan venn-katriyèm jou nan onzyèm mwa a, ki se mwa Schebat a, nan dezyèm ane wa Darius la, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Zacharie, pwofèt la, fis a Bérékia, fis a Iddo a, konsa:
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding vpon a red horse, and hee stood among the mirre trees, that were in a bottome, and behinde him were there red horses speckeled and white.
Mwen t ap gade pandan nwit lan e vwala, yon nonm te monte sou yon cheval wouj. Li te kanpe pami pye Jasmen ki te nan ravin yo, e dèyè li, te gen cheval wouj, cheval alzan ak cheval blan.
9 Then sayd I, O my Lord, what are these? And the Angel that talked with me, sayde vnto me, I wil shew thee what these be.
Konsa, mwen te di: “O Senyè mwen an! Se kisa sa yo ye?” Epi zanj ki t ap pale avèk mwen an, te di mwen: “Mwen va montre ou kisa yo ye.”
10 And the man that stood among the mirre trees, answered, and sayd, These are they whome the Lord hath sent to go through the world.
Epi nonm ki te kanpe pami pye Jasmen yo te reponn. Li te di: “Sa yo se sila ke SENYÈ a te voye pou fè patwouj sou latè.”
11 And they answered the Angel of the Lord, that stood among the mirre trees, and sayd, We haue gone thorowe the world: and beholde, all the world sitteth still, and is at rest.
Konsa, yo te reponn zanj SENYÈ, ki te kanpe pami pye Jasmen yo. Yo te di: “Nou te fè patwouj sou tè a e gade byen tout tè a kalm. Li gen lapè.”
12 Then the Angel of the Lord answered and sayd, O Lord of hostes, howe long wilt thou be vnmercifull to Ierusalem, and to the cities of Iudah, with whom thou hast bene displeased now these threescore and ten yeeres?
Epi zanj SENYÈ a te di: “O SENYÈ dèzame yo, pandan konbyen de tan Ou va refize gen konpasyon pou Jérusalem ak vil a Juda yo, de kilès Ou te si tèlman pa t kontan pandan swasann-dis ane sila yo?”
13 And the Lord answered the Angel that talked with me, with good wordes and comfortable wordes.
SENYÈ a te reponn zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan ak pawòl ki plen gras, pawòl dous ki pou kalme.
14 So the Angel that communed with me, said vnto me, Crie thou, and speake, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I am ielous ouer Ierusalem and Zion with a great zeale,
Konsa, zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan, te di mwen: “Se pou ou kriye pou di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Mwen jalou depase pou Jérusalem ak Sion.
15 And am greatly angrie against the carelesse heathen: for I was angrie but a litle, and they helped forward the affliction.
Men Mwen fache anpil anpil ak nasyon ki alèz yo. Paske pandan Mwen te fache sèlman yon ti kras, yo te ogmante afliksyon an.”
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord, I wil returne vnto Ierusalem with tender mercie: mine house shall be builded in it, saith the Lord of hostes, and a line shall be stretched vpon Ierusalem.
Akoz sa, SENYÈ a di konsa: “Mwen ap retounen kote Jérusalem, ak mizerikòd. Kay Mwen an va bati ladann l”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo; “epi yon lign va vin tire sou Jérusalem.”’
17 Cry yet, and speake, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, My cities shall yet be broken with plentie: the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet chuse Ierusalem.
“Se pou ou kriye ankò e di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Vil Mwen yo va vin debòde ak abondans ankò. SENYÈ a va soulaje Sion, e chwazi Jérusalem ankò.”’”
18 Then lift I vp mine eyes and sawe, and beholde, foure hornes.
Konsa, Mwen te leve zye m; mwen te gade, e konsa, te gen kat kòn.
19 And I said vnto the Angel that talked with me, What be these? And hee answered me, These are the hornes which haue scattered Iudah, Israel, and Ierusalem.
Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan: “Kisa sa yo ye?” Li te reponn mwen: “Sa yo se kòn ki te gaye Juda, Israël, ak Jérusalem yo.”
20 And the Lord shewed me foure carpenters.
SENYÈ a te montre mwen kat gwo bòs fòjewon.
21 Then said I, What come these to doe? And he answered, and said, These are the hornes, which haue scattered Iudah, so that a man durst not lift vp his head: but these are come to fray them, and to cast out the hornes of the Gentiles, which lift vp their horne ouer the land of Iudah, to scatter it.
Mwen te di: “Se kisa sa yo ap vin fè?” Epi li te di: “Sa yo se kòn ki te gaye Juda yo pou pèsòn pa t leve tèt yo. Men bòs fòjewon sila yo ki te vini pou teworize yo, pou fonn kòn a nasyon ki te leve kòn yo kont peyi Juda pou te gaye li a.”
