< Zechariah 10 >
1 Ask from the Lord rain at the time of the latter rain, [from] the Lord who maketh lightning-clouds: and he will give unto them showers of rain, to every herb in the field.
Mande pou lapli ki sòti nan SENYÈ a nan epòk prentan. Se SENYÈ a ki fè nwaj tanpèt yo; epi se Li ki bay lapli lejè a tout pou jaden plant yo.
2 For the Theraphim speak vanity, and the diviners foresee a lie, and those that have dreams speak what is false, with nought do they comfort: therefore do they move about like a flock, they bleat, because [they have] no shepherd.
Paske zidòl lakay yo pale inikite; divinò yo k ap fè vizyon ki pa vrè, ke yo repete kòn fo rèv. Yo bay rekonfò an ven. Konsa, pèp la mache egare tankou mouton; yo aflije akoz yo pa gen bèje.
3 Against the shepherds is my anger kindled, and on the he-goats will I inflict punishment; for the Lord of hosts thinketh of his flock, the house of Judah, and maketh them as his elegant horse in the battle.
Kòlè Mwen limen kont bèje yo. Mwen va pini mal kabrit yo, paske SENYÈ dèzame yo te vizite bann mouton li an lakay Juda, e Li va fè yo vin tankou cheval majeste Li nan batay la.
4 Out of him cometh forth the corner [-stone], out of him the tent-nail, out of him the battle-bow, out of him every ruler [of others] together.
De li menm, va vin parèt wòch ang lan, de li menm, pikèt tant lan, de li menm, banza batay la, de li menm, tout wa yo ansanm.
5 And they shall be like mighty men, treading down [their enemies] in the mire of the streets in the battle, and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them: and the riders on horses shall be made ashamed.
Yo va tankou mesye pwisan yo, k ap foule lènmi yo anba pye yo, nan labou lari a nan batay la. Yo va goumen, paske SENYÈ a va avèk yo; epi sila ki monte sou cheval yo va anbwouye.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and the house of Joseph will I save, and I will bring them again to their own homes; for I have mercy upon them, and they shall be as though I had never cast them off; for I am the Lord their God, and I will answer their prayer.
Mwen va ranfòse lakay Juda a, Mwen va sove lakay Joseph la, e mwen va fè yo retounen; paske Mwen gen konpasyon pou yo. Konsa, yo va vin konsi Mwen pa t janm rejte yo, paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye yo, e mwen va reponn yo.
7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as though from wine: and their children shall see it, and be rejoiced; their heart shall be glad in the Lord.
Éphraïm va vin tankou yon gwo nonm pwisan e kè yo va kontan konsi se ak diven. Anverite, pitit yo va wè sa, e yo va kontan, kè yo va rejwi nan SENYÈ a.
8 I will call for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased [formerly].
Mwen va soufle pou yo pou yo kab vin rasanble yo, paske Mwen te rachte yo. Konsa, yo va vin anpil, jan yo te ye oparavan an.
9 And when I shall have scattered them among the people, they will remember me in the far-off countries: therefore shall they live with their children, and return again.
Lè Mwen gaye yo pami lòt pèp yo, yo va sonje Mwen nan peyi lwen yo. Yo va viv ak pitit yo, e yo va retounen.
10 And I will bring them back again out of the land of Egypt, and out of Assyria will I gather them; and into the land of Gil'ad and Lebanon will I bring them, and it shall not be sufficient for them.
Mwen va mennen yo retounen soti nan peyi Égypte la, e rasanble yo soti Assyrie. Mwen va mennen yo antre nan peyi Galaad ak Liban jiskaske pa gen espas pou yo.
11 And he will pass through the sea [with] distress, and he will smite in the sea the waves, and there shall dry up all the deeps of the stream: and there shall be brought down the pride of Assyria, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
Li va pase nan lanmè afliksyon an, e Li va frape lanm lanmè yo, jiskaske tout pwofondè Rivyè Nil lan vin sèch. Epi ògèy Assyrie va vin bese e baton Égypte la va sòti.
12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and in his name shall they ever walk, saith the Lord.
Mwen va ranfòse yo nan SENYÈ a. Nan non pa Li, yo va mache monte desann” deklare SENYÈ a.
