Zechariah 8
1 Againe the worde of the Lord of hostes came to me, saying,
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te bay Zakari mesaj sa a:
2 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I was ielous for Zion with great ielousie, and I was ielous for her with great wrath.
-Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Mwen sitèlman renmen moun mòn Siyon yo, mwen fè jalouzi anpil pou yo. Mwen fè kòlè sou lènmi yo.
3 Thus saith the Lord, I wil returne vnto Zion, and wil dwel in the mids of Ierusalem: and Ierusalem shalbe called a citie of trueth, and the Mountaine of the Lord of hostes, the holy Mountaine.
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: M'ap tounen sou mòn Siyon an. Mwen pral rete nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm. Y'a rele Jerizalèm Lavil kote moun kenbe pye Bondye yo fèm. Y'a rele mòn Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a Mòn ki apa pou Seyè a.
4 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, There shall yet olde men and olde women dwell in the streetes of Ierusalem, and euery man with his staffe in his hand for very age.
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: N'a wè vye granmoun, fanm kou gason, vin chita sou plas piblik nan lavil Jerizalèm. Yo chak va gen yon baton nan men yo pou yo ka mache tèlman y'ap vye granmoun.
5 And the streetes of the citie shalbe full of boyes and girles, playing in the streetes thereof.
Lari yo va plen ti gason ak ti fi k'ap jwe konsa toupatou.
6 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Though it be vnpossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these dayes, should it therefore be vnpossible in my sight, sayth the Lord of hostes?
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: Pou ti ponyen moun ki rete koulye a nan peyi a, sa se yon bagay yo di ki pa ka rive. Men, pa pou mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
7 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will deliuer my people from the East countrey, and from the West countrey.
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò. Se mwen menm k'ap delivre pèp mwen an, k'ap fè yo soti nan peyi ki sou bò solèy leve a ak nan peyi ki sou bò solèy kouche a.
8 And I wil bring them, and they shall dwel in the mids of Ierusalem, and they shalbe my people, and I wil be their God in trueth, and in righteousnes.
M'ap mennen yo tounen pou yo ka rete lavil Jerizalèm ankò. Y'a pou mwen yon pèp ki rele m' pa m'. Mwen menm m'a Bondye yo. M'a kenbe kontra mwen te pase ak yo a. Yo menm, y'a fè sa m'a mande yo fè.
9 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Let your hands be strong, ye that heare in these dayes these words by the mouth of the Prophets, which were in the day, that the foundation of the House of the Lord of hostes was laide, that the Temple might be builded.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale, li di konsa: -Pran kouraj, nou menm k'ap tande koulye a nan bouch pwofèt yo menm mesaj Bondye te bay lè yo t'ap mete men nan fondasyon tanp Seyè a pou rebati kay ki apa pou li a.
10 For before these dayes there was no hire for man nor any hire for beast, neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men, euery one against his neighbour.
Paske, anvan jou sa yo, pa t' gen travay ni pou moun ni pou bèt. Pesonn pa t' ka ale vini ak kè poze nan peyi a poutèt lènmi yo. Mwen te fè moun leve yonn kont lòt.
11 But nowe, I wil not intreate the residue of this people as aforetime, saith the Lord of hostes.
Men koulye a, mwen pral aji yon lòt jan ak ti rès moun ki vivan toujou nan peyi a. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.
12 For the seede shall be prosperous: the vine shall giue her fruite, and the ground shall giue her increase, and the heauens shall giue their dewe, and I will cause the remnant of this people to possesse all these things.
Y'a plante jaden yo ak kè poze. Pye rezen yo va donnen, tè a va bay rekòt. Lapli va tonbe sot nan syèl la. M'a bay ti rès moun ki vivan toujou nan pèp la tout benediksyon sa yo.
13 And it shall come to passe, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Iudah, and house of Israel, so wil I deliuer you, and ye shalbe a blessing: feare not, but let your hands be strong.
Nou menm moun Jida ak moun Izrayèl, menm jan yon lè mwen te fè nou tounen yon madichon nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, konsa tou m'a delivre nou, m'a fè nou tounen benediksyon nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Nou pa bezwen pè. Pran kouraj!
14 For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, As I thought to punish you, when your fathers prouoked me vnto wrath, sayth the Lord of hostes, and repented not,
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: -Lè zansèt nou yo te fè m' fache sou yo, mwen te pran desizyon pou m' te pini yo. Mwen pa t' chanje lide.
15 So againe haue I determined in these daies to doe well vnto Ierusalem, and to the house of Iudah: feare ye not.
Konsa tou, koulye a mwen pran desizyon pou m' beni moun lavil Jerizalèm ak moun fanmi Jida yo. Nou pa bezwen pè anyen.
16 These are ye things that ye shall doe. Speake ye euery man the trueth vnto his neighbour: execute iudgement truely and vprightly in your gates,
Men sa pou nou fè: Lè n'ap pale yonn ak lòt, pa bay manti. Nan tribinal, se pou nou rann jistis san patipri pou tout moun ka viv byen yonn ak lòt.
17 And let none of you imagine euill in your hearts against his neighbour, and loue no false othe: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord.
Pa fè plan pou nou aji mal yonn ak lòt. Pa fè sèman, lèfini pou n'ap bay manti pou akize moun. Paske, tou sa se bagay mwen pa vle wè. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
18 And the worde of the Lord of hostes came vnto me, saying,
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale ak Zakari ankò, li di l' konsa:
19 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, The fast of the fourth moneth, and the fast of the fift, and the fast of the seuenth, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Iudah ioy and gladnes, and prosperous hie feasts: therefore loue the trueth and peace.
-Jèn yo konn fè chak katriyèm mwa, chak senkyèm mwa, chak setyèm mwa ak chak dizyèm mwa a pral yon plezi, yon kè kontan pou moun Jida yo, yon okazyon pou yo fè fèt. Se pou nou renmen viv byen yonn ak lòt san bay manti.
20 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, That there shall yet come people, and the inhabitants of great cities.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: -Yon lè gen pou rive moun va soti nan gwo lavil lòt peyi yo pou yo vini lavil Jerizalèm.
21 And they that dwell in one citie, shall go to another, saying, Vp, let vs go and pray before the Lord, and seeke the Lord of hostes: I wil go also.
Moun va soti nan yon lavil, y'a ale nan yon lòt, y'a di moun ki la yo: Ann al adore Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a! Ann al lapriyè nan pye Seyè a pou mande l' benediksyon. Ann ale non!
22 Yea, great people and mightie nations shall come to seeke the Lord of hostes in Ierusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
Anpil moun ap soti nan gran peyi, y'ap vini lavil Jerizalèm pou yo adore Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a. Y'ap vin lapriyè nan pye l' pou mande l' benediksyon.
23 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, In those dayes shall ten men take holde out of all languages of the nations, euen take holde of the skirt of him that is a Iewe, and say, We will go with you: for we haue heard that God is with you.
Wi, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: Lè sa a, dis moun ap soti nan lòt peyi kote yo pale lòt lang, y'a kenbe yon jwif nan rad, y'a di l': Nou vle ale avè ou, paske nou tande se avèk jwif yo Bondye ye.
