Zakari 12
1 Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou fè konnen volonte l' sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Men desizyon li pran, li menm Seyè a, ki louvri syèl la nan plas li, ki kreye latè a epi ki bay moun lavi.
A revelation of the LORD’s word 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:
2 Mwen pral fè lavil Jerizalèm fè moun lòt nasyon ki bò kote l' yo pèdi tèt yo, tankou moun ki sou. Lè y'a sènen lavil Jerizalèm, yo pral sènen lavil ki nan rès peyi Jida yo tou.
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
3 Lè sa a, m'ap fè lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon gwo wòch lou kou pwa senkant. Tout nasyon ki va chache leve l' va foule anba l'. Tout moun sou latè pral mete ansanm pou yo atake l'.
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.
4 Jou sa a atò, m'ap fè tout chwal yo lonbraje, m'ap fè kavalye yo depale. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. M'ap veye pèp Jida a pou anyen pa rive yo. Men, m'ap fè tout chwal lènmi l' yo vin avèg.
In that day,” says the LORD, “I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness. I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
5 Lè sa a, moun fanmi Jida yo va di nan kè yo se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye yo a, ki tout fòs moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo.
The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of Armies their God.’
6 Lè sa a, m'ap fè moun fanmi Jida yo tounen tankou yon boukan dife nan mitan yon rakbwa, osinon y'ap tankou bwa chandèl limen nan mitan pay chèch. L'ap devore tout peyi ki toupre l' yo, sou bò gòch ak sou bò dwat. Men, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ap rete nan plas yo.
In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. 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.
7 Premye moun Seyè a ap delivre, se va moun Jida yo. Konsa, lwanj y'a fè pou pitit pitit David yo ak pou pèp Jerizalèm lan p'ap pi gwo pase lwanj y'ap fè pou rès moun Jida yo.
The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
8 Lè sa a, Seyè a va louvri zèl li pou l' pwoteje tout moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo. Wi, lè sa a, menm pi fèb la ap gen fòs tankou David. Pitit pitit David yo va alatèt pou dirije yo tankou Bondye, tankou zanj Seyè a.
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 David’s house will be like God, like the LORD’s angel before them.
9 Lè sa a, m'a detwi tout nasyon ki va konprann pou yo atake lavil Jerizalèm.
It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 M'a fè pitit pitit David yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo gen bon kè. M'a fè yo konn lapriyè nan pye m'. Y'a leve je yo gade m', y'a wè moun yo te pèse a. Y'a nan gwo lapenn pou li tankou moun ki pèdi sèl pitit li te genyen an. Y'a pete rele tankou moun ki pèdi premye pitit gason yo.
I will pour on David’s house and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. 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.
11 Lè sa a, rèl ap pete lavil Jerizalèm tankou lè rèl te pete pou Adad-Rimòn nan plenn Megidon an.
In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
12 Nan peyi a, chak fanmi va mete tèt yo ansanm pou yo rele pou kont yo, gason nan fanmi David yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, gason nan fanmi Natan yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò,
The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 gason nan fanmi Levi yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, gason nan fanmi Chimèy yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò.
the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
14 Tout rès fanmi yo va kenbe rèl la tou, gason yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, chak fanmi bò pa yo.
all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
