Zechariah 8
1 Again the word of YHWH of hosts came to me, saying,
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te bay Zakari mesaj sa a:
2 Thus saith YHWH of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
-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 YHWH; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of YHWH of hosts the holy mountain.
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 saith YHWH of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff 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 streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
Lari yo va plen ti gason ak ti fi k'ap jwe konsa toupatou.
6 Thus saith YHWH of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith YHWH of hosts.
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 saith YHWH of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
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 will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their Elohim, in truth and in righteousness.
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 saith YHWH of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of YHWH of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
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 days 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 every 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 now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith YHWH of hosts.
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 seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess 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 pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear 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 saith YHWH of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith YHWH of hosts, and I 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 again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear 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 the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace 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 evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith YHWH.
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 word of YHWH of hosts came unto me, saying,
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale ak Zakari ankò, li di l' konsa:
19 Thus saith YHWH of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth 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 YHWH of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many 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 the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before YHWH, and to seek YHWH of hosts: I will 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, many people and strong nations shall come to seek YHWH of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before YHWH.
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 saith YHWH of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that Elohim 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.
