< Zakari 14 >
1 Gade! Men jou jijman Seyè a ap rive! Jou sa a, yo pral piye lavil Jerizalèm. Yo pral separe tou sa yo pran ladan li la devan je nou.
Behold! A day for Yahweh is coming when your plunder will be divided in your midst.
2 Seyè a pral sanble tout nasyon yo pou y' al fè lagè ak lavil Jerizalèm. Y'ap pran lavil la, y'ap piye tout kay yo, y'ap fè kadejak sou medam yo. Yo pral depòte mwatye nan moun yo. Men, rès pèp la ap rete nan lavil la.
For I will gather every nation against Jerusalem for battle and the city will be captured. The houses will be plundered and the women raped. Half of the city will go out into captivity, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city.
3 Lèfini, Seyè a pral parèt pou li al goumen ak nasyon yo, jan li te konn goumen nan tan lontan an.
But Yahweh will go out and wage war against those nations as when he wages war on the day of battle.
4 Lè sa a, l'a desann kanpe sou mòn pye oliv yo, ki anfas lavil Jerizalèm, sou bò solèy leve. Mòn lan va fann de bò nèt ale, l'a fè yon fon nan mitan ki soti bò solèy leve desann bò solèy kouche: mwatye nan mòn lan va fè bò nò, lòt mwatye a va fè bò sid.
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is beside Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half between the east and the west by a very great valley and half of the mountain will go back toward the north and half toward the south.
5 N'a lonje fon an pou nou kouri chape kò nou jouk n'a rive lòt bò mòn Atsèl. N'a kouri met deyò menm jan zansèt nou yo te fè l' la lè tranblemanntè a te pase sou rèy Ozyas, wa peyi Jida a. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va vini, l'ap mennen tout moun pa l' yo avè l'.
Then you will flee down the valley between Yahweh's mountains, for the valley between those mountains will reach to Azel. You will flee just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. Then Yahweh my God will come and all the holy ones will be with him.
6 Lè jou sa a va rive, p'ap gen limyè, p'ap fè fredi, dlo p'ap fè glas.
On that day there will be no light, but no cold or frost either.
7 Se va yon jou ki p'ap tankou lòt jou yo. Ap fè klè nèt. p'ap gen lannwit ankò. Se Seyè a sèl ki konnen lè sa va rive.
On that day, a day known only to Yahweh, there will no longer be day or night, for the evening will be a time of light.
8 Lè jou sa a va rive, bèl dlo dous pral koule soti lavil Jerizalèm. Mwatye nan dlo a ap fè yon branch larivyè desann bò solèy leve, tonbe nan lanmè Mouri a. Lòt mwatye a ap desann bò solèy kouche, tonbe nan lanmè Meditèrane a. Dlo a ap koule san rete, nan sezon fredi kou nan sezon chalè.
On that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem. Half of them will flow to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter.
9 Lè sa a, se Seyè a ki pral sèl wa sou tout latè. Lè sa a, se li ki pral sèl Bondye pou tout moun. Se li menm ase tout moun ap konnen.
Yahweh will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be Yahweh, the one God, and his name alone.
10 Tout peyi a pral tounen yon gwo plenn plat, depi Geba nan nò rive Rimon nan sid, ak Jerizalèm nan mitan. Sèl lavil Jerizalèm pral rete byen wo. L'ap soti depi Pòtay Benjamen an rive nan pòtay Kwen an, kote premye pòtay la te ye a, depi Fò Annanyèl rive nan moulen rezen wa a.
All the land will be like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem will continue to be raised up and remain in its own place, from the Benjamin Gate to the place where the first gate was, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.
11 Moun va rete la nan lavil la, malè p'ap tonbe sou yo. Y'a viv ak kè poze lavil Jerizalèm.
The people will live in Jerusalem and there will be no more complete destruction from God against them. Jerusalem will live in safety.
12 Seyè a pral voye yon gwo maladi sou tout nasyon ki te fè lagè ak Jerizalèm. Y'ap rete kanpe sou de pye yo, epi tout vyann kò yo ap pouri. Grenn je yo pral pouri nan tèt yo, lang yo ap pouri nan bouch yo.
This will be the plague with which Yahweh will attack all the peoples that waged war against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot away even as they are standing on their feet. Their eyes will rot in their sockets and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 Jou sa a, Seyè a pral fè yo pèdi tèt yo pran kouri. Yo pral tonbe yonn sou lòt, yonn pral touye lòt.
On that day that great fear from Yahweh will come among them. Each one will seize the hand of another, and the hand of one will be raised up against the hand of another.
14 Sòlda peyi Jida yo pral goumen tou pou defann lavil Jerizalèm, yo pral ranmase dènye richès moun lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè yo: lò, ajan ak rad an kantite.
Judah will also fight against Jerusalem. They will gather the wealth of all the surrounding nations—gold, silver, and fine clothes in great abundance.
15 Menm maladi a pral tonbe tou sou chwal, milèt, chamo, bourik, sou tout bèt ki te nan kan lènmi yo.
A plague will also be on the horses and the mules, the camels and the donkeys, and on every animal in those camps will also suffer that same plague.
16 Nan moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap fè lagè ak lavil Jerizalèm yo, genyen ki va chape, ki p'ap mouri. Moun sa yo va moute chak lanne lavil Jerizalèm pou yo adore Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Wa a. Y'a fete fèt Tant yo.
Then it will happen that all who remain in those nations that came against Jerusalem will instead go up from year to year to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, and to keep the Festival of Shelters.
17 Si yon nasyon va derefize moute lavil Jerizalèm pou yo adore Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Wa a, yon ti degout lapli p'ap tonbe nan peyi yo a menm.
It will happen that if anyone from all the nations of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, then Yahweh will not bring rain on them.
18 Si moun peyi Lejip yo derefize moute al fete fèt la, menm maladi Seyè a te voye sou moun ki derefize moute yo va tonbe sou yo tou.
If the nation of Egypt does not go up, then they will not receive rain. A plague from Yahweh will attack the nations that do not go up to keep the Festival of Shelters.
19 Se chatiman sa a ki pral tonbe sou peyi Lejip ansanm ak tout lòt nasyon ki va derefize moute pou fete fèt Tant yo.
This will be the punishment for Egypt and the punishment for every nation that does not go up to keep the Festival of Shelters.
20 Lè jou sa a va rive, y'a make sou ti klòch ki nan lekipay chwal yo: Apa pou Seyè a! Batri koujen ki nan tanp Seyè a va tankou ti bòl ki devan lotèl yo: yo va apa nèt pou Seyè a.
But on that day, the bells of the horses will say, “Set apart to Yahweh,” and the basins in Yahweh's house will be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Y'a mete tout mamit ak tout chodyè moun yo ap sèvi lavil Jerizalèm ak nan tout peyi Jida a apa pou sèvis Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a. Konsa, tout moun ki vle ofri yon bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a va vin pran yonn pou yo bouyi vyann bèt yo ofri a. Lè jou sa a va rive, p'ap gen moun k'ap vann ankò nan tanp Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
For every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be set apart to Yahweh of hosts and everyone who brings a sacrifice will eat from them and boil in them. On that day traders will no longer be in the house of Yahweh of hosts.
