Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measure-cord in his hand.
Konsa, Mwen te leve zye m gade, e vwala, te gen yon nonm ak yon lign mezi nan men l.
2 Then said I, Whither art thou going? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is her breadth, and what is her length.
Konsa mwen te di: “Ki kote ou prale la a?” Li te di mwen: “Pou mezire Jérusalem, pou wè ki lajè li genyen, ak longè li.”
3 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him;
Epi vwala zanj ki t ap pale avèk mwen an te sòti, e yon lòt zanj te vin parèt pou rankontre avè l.
4 And he said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Without walls shall Jerusalem be inhabited because of the multitude of men and cattle in her midst.
Li te di li: “Kouri pale ak jennonm sa a, pou di l: ‘Jérusalem va vin plen moun tankou vilaj ki san miray, akoz kantite moun ak bèt k ap rete ladann.
5 But I—I will be unto her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and for glory will I be in the midst of her.
Paske Mwen menm’, deklare SENYÈ a: ‘Mwen va devni yon miray dife k ap antoure fi a, e Mwen va laglwa nan mitan l.
6 Up! up! and flee away from the land of the north saith the Lord; for as the four winds of the heaven have I spread you abroad, saith the Lord.
“‘Vini! Vini! Sove ale kite peyi nò a,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘paske Mwen te gaye nou tankou kat van syèl yo,’ deklare SENYÈ a.
7 Up, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
‘Vini Sion! Kouri chape poul nou, nou ki rete ak fi a Babylone nan.’
8 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, For the sake of [your] glory hath he sent me unto the nations that have despoiled you; for whoever toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Dèyè glwa pa Li a, Li te voye mwen kont nasyon k ap piyaje nou yo, paske sila ki touche ou a, te touche ponm de zye tèt Li.
9 For, behold, I will swing my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall acknowledge that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
Paske, gade byen, Mwen va souke men M sou yo, e yo va vin piyaj pou sila ki te sèvi yo. Epi konsa, ou va konnen ke se SENYÈ dèzame yo ki te voye Mwen.
10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I am coming, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
Chante ak lajwa e fè kè ou kontan, O fi a Sion an! Paske, gade byen, Mwen ap vini, e Mwen va rete nan mitan nou,’ deklare SENYÈ a.
11 And many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they shall be unto me for a people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
Anpil nasyon va vin jwenn yo ak SENYÈ a nan jou sa a, e va devni pèp Mwen. Epi Mwen va demere nan mitan nou, e nou va konnen ke se SENYÈ dèzame yo ki te voye Mwen kote nou.
12 And the Lord will take Judah as his inheritance upon the holy land; and he will again make choice of Jerusalem.
SENYÈ a va posede Juda kon pòsyon pa Li nan peyi sen an, e Li va chwazi Jérusalem ankò.
13 Be silent, all flesh! before the Lord; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.
Se pou nou fè silans, tout chè, devan SENYÈ a; paske Li gen tan leve nan abitasyon sen Li an.”
