Zakari 2
1 Apre sa, mwen fè yon lòt vizyon, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè yon nonm avèk yon chenn pou mezire nan men l'.
I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Mwen mande l': -Kote ou prale? Li reponn mwen: -Mwen pral pran mezi lavil Jerizalèm, pou m' wè ki longè ak ki lajè li genyen.
Then said I, Where go you? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 Zanj ki t'ap pale avèk mwen an te rete kanpe. Yon lòt zanj pwoche devan l' vin jwenn li.
And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 Premye zanj lan di dezyèm lan: -Kouri al di jenn gason ou wè ak chenn nan men l' lan: sitèlman pral gen moun ak bèt nan lavil Jerizalèm, yo p'ap bezwen bati miray pou fèmen l'.
And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5 Seyè a pale, li fè konnen se li menm k'ap tankou yon gwo miray dife k'ap fè wonn lavil la pou pwoteje l'. Li di: M'ap rete nan mitan lavil la ak tout pouvwa mwen.
For I, says the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Men sa Seyè a di: -Ey! Nou menm mwen te gaye nan kat kwen latè yo, kouri, kouri kite peyi ki nan nò a.
Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, says the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, says the LORD.
7 Ey! Nou menm moun Siyon ki rete lavil Babilòn yo, sove kò nou!
Deliver yourself, O Zion, that dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
8 Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa di: Se li menm ki voye m'. Men sa li di sou nasyon ki te piye pèp li a. Si yon moun manyen pèp la, se tankou si li te foure dwèt nan je m'.
For thus says the LORD of hosts; After the glory has he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9 Mwen menm mwen pral regle ak nou. Moun nou te fè tounen esklav yo, se yo menm ankò ki pral piye nou. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m'.
For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and all of you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
10 Seyè a di ankò: -Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, chante! Fè kè nou kontan! Men m'ap vini pou m' rete nan mitan nou! Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa!
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the LORD.
11 Lè sa a, anpil nasyon va vin jwenn Seyè a pou yo sèvi l'. Se pèp pa li menm y'ap ye. L'a vin rete nan mitan yo. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m' kote nou.
And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you.
12 Seyè a va pran peyi Jida a pou li tankou pòsyon pa l' nan tè yo mete apa pou li a. L'a chwazi lavil Jerizalèm ankò.
And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 Se pou tout moun pe bouch yo devan Seyè a, paske l'ap soti kote ki apa pou li a, l'ap vin delivre nou!
Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
