Zechariah 12
1 An oracle. The word of the LORD concerning Israel. The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:
Pwofesi pawòl SENYÈ a konsènan Israël la. Konsa pale SENYÈ ki etann syèl yo a, ki poze fondasyon latè yo, e ki kreye lespri a lòm nan anndan l lan.
2 "Look, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and on Judah also will it be in the siege against Jerusalem.
“Gade byen, Mwen ap fè Jérusalem vin yon tas ki va fè tout pèp ki antoure l yo, vin toudi. Epi nan lè syèj la kont Jérusalem nan, li va vin osi, kont Juda.
3 It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
Li va vin rive nan jou sa a, ke Mwen va fè Jérusalem vin yon wòch ki lou pou tout pèp yo. Tout ki vin leve l va vin blese grav. Epi tout nasyon latè yo va rasanble ansanm kont li.
4 In that day," says the LORD, "I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
Nan jou sa a,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Mwen va frape tout cheval yo pou l dezoryante, e chevalye yo avèk foli. Men Mwen va ouvri zye Mwen sou lakay Juda, pandan Mwen ap frape tout cheval a pèp nasyon yo, pou yo vin avèg.
5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.'
Konsa, tout chèf a Juda yo, va di nan kè yo: ‘Moun ki rete Jérusalem yo se fòs mwen nan SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye pa yo a.’
6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
Nan jou sa a, Mwen va fè chèf Juda yo vin tankou yon gwo boukan dife pami mòso bwa yo, ak yon tòch k ap fè flanm dife pami pakèt sereyal yo. Yo va devore tout pèp ki ozanviwon yo, ni sou men dwat yo, ni sou men goch yo, pandan sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, va toujou demere nan pwòp lye pa yo Jérusalem.
7 The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
SENYÈ a va osi sove anpremye tant a Juda yo, pou glwa kay David la, e glwa a sila ki viv rete Jérusalem, p ap depase Juda.
8 In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD before them.
Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va defann moun Jérusalem yo. Sila ki fèb pami yo nan jou sa a va tankou David, e kay David la va tankou Bondye, tankou zanj SENYÈ a devan yo.
9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Epi nan jou sa a, Mwen va kòmanse detwi tout nasyon ki vini kont Jérusalem yo.
10 I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of petition; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.
Epi Mwen va vide sou kay David la, ak sou moun Jérusalem yo, Lespri a gras, ak Lespri lapriyè pou mande mizerikòd. Konsa, yo va gade vè Mwen menm Sila ke yo te pèse a. Yo va soufri gwo doulè pou Li, tankou yon moun k ap fè dèy pou yon sèl fis li genyen, e yo va kriye anpil anpil sou Li jan yon moun ta kriye sou sèl fis inik li.
11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Nan jou sa a, va gen gwo doulè Jérusalem, tankou fè dèy pou Hadadrimmon nan vale Meguiddon an.
12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
Peyi a va kriye, chak fanmi apa; fanmi lakay David la, apa, e madanm yo, apa; fanmi lakay Nathan an, apa, e madanm yo apa;
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
fanmi lakay Levi, apa, e madanm yo, apa; fanmi a Schimeï yo, apa, e madanm yo, apa;
14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
tout fanmi ki rete yo, chak fanmi apa; e madanm yo, apa.
