Zakari 4
1 Zanj ki t'ap pale ak mwen an vini ankò. Li souke m' tankou yo souke yon moun k'ap dòmi pou fè l' leve.
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2 Li di m' konsa: -Sa ou wè la a? Mwen reponn li: -Mwen wè yon lanp sèt branch an lò ki kanpe atè. Li gen yon gwo bòl nan tèt li, avèk sèt lanp sou rebò bòl la. Chak lanp gen sèt bòbèch pou sèt mèch.
And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3 Bò lanp sèt branch lan te gen de pye oliv, yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch.
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 Apre sa, mwen pran lapawòl, mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Mèt, kisa bagay sa yo ye?
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5 Li reponn mwen: -Ou pa konn sa sa yo ye? Mwen reponn li: -Non, mèt! M' pa konnen non!
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Lè sa a, zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan reponn mwen, li di m': -Men mesaj Seyè a voye pou Zowobabèl: Se pa avèk vanyan sòlda ou yo, ni avèk pwòp kouraj ou ou pral rive nan sa ou gen pou fè a. Men se va avèk pouvwa lespri pa m' m'ap ba ou a. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Yhwh unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith Yhwh of Armies.
7 Pi gwo antrav yo pral disparèt devan ou, Zowobabèl! Pi gwo mòn lan ap tounen yon plenn. Ou gen pou ou pran yon bèl wòch ladan l' pou fè lento pòtay tanp lan. Lè sa a tout moun va rele: Ala bèl sa bèl! Mèsi pou li!
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m':
Moreover the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
9 -Zowobabèl mete men nan fondasyon kay la. Li gen pou l' fini l'. Lè sa a, pèp mwen an va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te voye ou bò kote yo.
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that Yhwh of Armies hath sent me unto you.
10 Yo te pran ti konmansman sa yo pou anyen. Men, ala kontan y'a kontan lè y'a wè Zowobabèl ap kontwole travay la, filaplon li nan men l'! Zanj lan di m' ankò: -Lanp sèt branch ou wè la a se sèt je Seyè a ki wè tou sa k'ap pase sou latè.
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of Yhwh, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Mwen mande l': -De pye oliv ki chak bò lanp sèt branch lan, yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch, kisa yo ye?
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon the left side thereof?
12 De branch oliv sou kote de ti tiyo an lò kote lwil ap koule a, kisa yo vle di?
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 Li reponn mwen. -Ou pa konnen sa yo vle di? Mwen di l': -Non, mèt. M' pa konnen non!
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Li di m' konsa: -Se de moun Bondye chwazi pou fè travay Seyè a, Mèt latè a.
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
