Zechariah 7
1 And it is maad in the fourthe yeer of Darius, kyng, the word of the Lord was maad to Sacarie, in the fourthe dai of the nynthe monethe, that is Caslew.
Nan katriyèm ane wa Darius la, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Zacharie, nan katriyèm jou nevyèm mwa a, ki se Kisleu.
2 And Sarasar, and Rogumelech, and men that weren with hem, senten to the hous of the Lord, for to preye the face of the Lord;
Alò, vil Béthel te voye Scharetser, Réguem-Mélec avèk moun pa yo pou chache favè SENYÈ a,
3 that thei schulden seie to prestis of the hous of the Lord of oostis, and to profetis, and speke, Whether it is to wepe to me in the fyuethe monethe, ether Y schal halowe me, as Y dide now many yeeris?
pou li te pale ak prèt ki apatyen a lakay SENYÈ Dèzame Yo, a pwofèt yo pou di: “Èske mwen ta dwe kriye nan senkyèm mwa a, pou mete m apa, menm jan mwen te fè l pandan tout lane sa yo?”
4 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
5 and seide, Speke thou to al the puple of the lond, and to prestis, and seie thou, Whanne ye fastiden, and weiliden in the fyueth and seuenthe monethe, bi these seuenti yeeris, whether ye fastiden a fast to me?
“Di a tout pèp peyi a, e a prèt yo: ‘Lè nou te fè jèn ak lamantasyon nan senkyèm jou nan setyèm mwa yo, pandan swasann-dis ane sila yo, èske se te vrèman pou Mwen ke nou te fè jèn nan?
6 And whanne ye eeten, and drunken, whether ye eten not to you, and drunken not to you silf?
Lè nou manje ak bwè, èske nou pa manje pou pwòp tèt nou, e èske nou pa bwè pou pwòp tèt nou?
7 Whether wordis of profetis ben not, whiche the Lord spak in the hond of the formere profetis, whanne yit Jerusalem was enhabited, and was ful of richessis, and it, and citees therof in cumpas therof, and at the south and in feeldi place was enhabited?
Èske se pa pawòl sila yo ke SENYÈ a te pwoklame pa ansyen pwofèt yo, lè Jérusalem te gen anpil moun, e t ap pwospere ansanm ak vil ki te antoure li yo, e lè Negev ak ti kolin yo te gen moun ki t ap viv ladan yo?’”
8 And the word of the Lord was maad to Sacarie, and seide, The Lord of oostis saith these thingis, and spekith,
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Zacharie. Li te di:
9 Deme ye trewe dom, and do ye merci, and doyngis of merci, ech man with his brother.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Ekzekite vrè jijman, e pratike ladousè ak konpasyon, chak moun anvè frè li.
10 And nyle ye falsli calenge a widewe, and fadirles, ether modirles, and comelyng, and pore man; and a man thenke not in his herte yuel to his brother.
Pa oprime ni vèv, ni òfelen, ni etranje, ni malere. Ni pa kite pèsòn nan nou panse mal nan kè li, youn kont lòt.’
11 And thei wolden not `take heede, and thei turneden awei the schuldre, and yeden awei, and `maden heuy her eeris, lest thei herden.
Men yo te refize koute sa. Yo te leve zepòl yo, e te bouche zòrèy yo pou yo pa tande.
12 And thei puttiden her herte as adamaunt, lest thei herden the lawe, and wordis whiche the Lord of oostis sente in his Spirit, bi the hond of the formere profetis; and greet indignacioun was maad of the Lord of oostis.
Yo te fè kè yo di tankou silèks pou yo pa tande lalwa ak zèv ke SENYÈ dèzame yo te voye pa Lespri Li pa ansyen pwofèt yo. Akoz sa, chalè a gwo kòlè a te sòti nan SENYÈ dèzame yo.
13 And it is doon, as he spak; and as thei herden not, so thei schulen crie, and Y schal not here, seith the Lord of oostis.
Epi menm jan Li te rele pou yo pa koute, konsa yo va rele, e Mwen p ap koute, pale SENYÈ dèzame yo.
14 And Y scateride hem bi alle rewmes, whiche thei knewen not, and the lond is desolat fro hem; for that there was not a man goynge and turnynge ayen, and thei han put desirable lond in to desert.
Men Mwen va gaye yo ak yon van tanpèt pami tout nasyon ke yo pa t konnen yo. Se konsa peyi a te vin dezole dèyè yo pou pèsòn moun pa t fè ale vini ladann. Paske yo te fè bèl peyi a vin dezole nèt.”
