Zacharias 9

1 The burden of the word of the Lord, in the land of Sedrach, and his sacrifice [shall be] in Damascus; for the Lord looks upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel.

Yon revelasyon. Pawòl SENYÈ a kont peyi Hadrac la, e l ap poze sou Damas, paske zye a lòm ak tout trib Israël se vè SENYÈ a,

2 And in Emath, [even] in her coasts, [are] Tyre and Sidon, because they were very wise.

epi osi vè Hamath, ki nan lizyè li a; Tyr ak Sidon paske yo saj anpil.

3 And Tyrus built strongholds for herself, and heaped up silver as dust, and gathered gold as the mire of the ways.

Paske Tyr te bati pou kont li yon fò; li te fè depo ajan tankou pousyè, ak depo lò tankou labou nan lari.

4 And therefore the Lord will take them for a possession, and will strike her power in the sea; and she shall be consumed with fire.

Gade byen, SENYÈ a va rache tout sa li posede, e jete tout richès li yo nan lanmè. Li va devore nèt ak dife a.

5 Ascalon shall see, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Accaron; for she is ashamed at her trespass; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited.

Askalon va wè l e vin pè. Anplis, gaza va tòde ak gwo doulè; epi Ékron, pou sa li te atann va desi. Anplis ke sa, wa a va peri Gaza e Askalon va vin pa gen moun.

6 And aliens shall dwell in Azotus, and I will bring down the pride of the Philistines.

Yon ras mele va vin rete Asdod e Mwen va rache ògèy a Filisten yo.

7 And I will take their blood out of their mouth, and their abominations from between their teeth; and these also shall be left to our God, and they shall be as a captain of a thousand in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.

Mwen va retire san li, soti nan bouch li, ak abominasyon soti nan mitan dan l yo. Konsa, yo va devni osi yon retay pou Bondye nou an. Yo va tankou yon chèf pou Juda, e Ékron va tankou Jebizyen yo.

8 And I will set up a defence for my house, that they may not pass through, nor turn back, neither shall there any more come upon them one to drive them away: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

Mwen va kanpe antoure kay Mwen an kont lame a, pou pèsòn moun pa travèse oswa retounen. Konsa, p ap gen moun k ap travèse pou oprime yo ankò. Paske koulye a, ak zye pa m, Mwen wè.

9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion; proclaim [it] aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, the King is coming to you, just, and a Saviour; he is meek and riding on an ass, and a young foal.

Rejwi anpil, O fi a Sion an! Kriye yon son viktwa, O fi a Sion an! Gade byen wa ou ap vini kote ou; Li jis e Li gen Sali; Li enb e Li monte sou yon bourik, menm yon jenn pòtre, pitit a yon bourik.

10 And he shall destroy the chariots out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow of war shall be utterly destroyed; and [there shall be] abundance and peace out of the nations; and he shall rule over the waters as far as the sea, and the rivers [to] the ends of the earth.

Mwen va koupe retire cha Éphraïm nan, ansanm ak cheval Jérusalem nan. Banza lagè a va koupe retire; Li va pale lapè a nasyon yo. Wayòm Li an va soti nan lanmè jis rive nan lanmè, e nan Rivyè Euphrate la jis pou l rive nan dènye pwent tè a.

11 And you by the blood of your covenant has sent forth your prisoners out of the pit that has no water.

Menmjan an pou ou menm tou, akoz san akò Mwen an ki avèk ou, Mwen te mete prizonye ou yo an libète soti nan twou fòs ki pa gen dlo a.

12 You shall dwell in strongholds, you prisoners of the congregation: and for one day of your captivity I will recompense you double.

Retounen nan sitadèl la, O prizonye ki gen lespwa a! Nan jou sa a menm, Mwen deklare ke Mwen va remèt ou doub de sa.

13 For I have bent you, O Juda, for myself [as] a bow, I have filled Ephraim; and I will raise up your children, O Sion, against the children of the Greeks, and I will handle you as the sword of a warrior.

Paske Mwen te koube Juda konsi se te banza Mwen. Mwen te plen banza a avèk Éphraïm. Mwen va fè leve fis ou yo, O Sion, kont fis ou yo, O Grèce, e Mwen va fè ou vin tankou nepe a yon gèrye pwisan.

14 And the Lord shall be over them, and [his] arrow shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord Almighty shall blow with the trumpet; and shall proceed with the tumult of his threatening.

Epi SENYÈ a va vin parèt sou yo, e flèch Li va pati tankou kout loray. Senyè BONDYE a va sone twonpèt la, e Li va mache nan van tanpèt sid yo.

15 The Lord Almighty shall protect them, and they shall destroy them, and overwhelm them with sling-stones; and they shall swallow them down as wine, and fill the bowls as the altar.

SENYÈ dèzame yo va defann yo. Yo va devore, e yo va foule anba pye ak tout wòch fistibal yo. Yo va bwè, e fè bwi tankou se diven y ap bwè. Epi yo va vin ranpli tankou basen sakrifis, tankou kwen lotèl yo.

16 And the Lord their God shall save them in that day, [even] his people as a flock; for holy stones are rolled upon his land.

Konsa SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a, va sove yo nan jou sa a, tankou foul moun a pèp Li a; paske yo tankou wòch presye, bijou yon kouwòn k ap klere toupatou anwo tout peyi Li a.

17 For if he has anything good, and if he has anything fair, the young [men shall have] corn, and [there shall be] fragrant wine to the virgins.

Paske a la gran, bonte Li va gran, e a la gran, bèlte Li va gran! Sereyal la va fè jenn mesye yo pwospere ak diven nèf pou vyèj yo.
