< Zakari 6 >
1 Mwen fè yon lòt vizyon ankò, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè kat cha lagè ki t'ap soti nan fant de mòn fèt an kwiv.
And I lifted up mine eyes again, and saw, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 Premye cha a te gen chwal wouj ki t'ap rale l'. Dezyèm cha a te gen chwal nwa ki t'ap rale l'.
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 Twazyèm cha a te gen chwal blan ki t'ap rale l'. Katriyèm cha a te gen chwal takte wouj ki t'ap rale l'.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled, strong horses.
4 Mwen pran lapawòl, mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Sa sa yo ye, mèt?
And I spoke and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5 Zanj lan reponn mwen: -Se kat van ki fèk soti devan Mèt tout latè a.
And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Cha chwal nwa yo t'ap rale a pran direksyon peyi ki sou bò nò a. Cha chwal blan yo t'ap rale a pran menm direksyon an. Cha chwal takte wouj yo t'ap rale a pran direksyon peyi ki sou bò sid la.
That in which are the black horses goeth forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth towards the south country;
7 Lè chwal takte wouj yo parèt, yo t'ap pyafe, yo pa t' ka tann ankò pou y' al toupatou sou latè. Zanj lan di yo: -Ale toupatou sou latè! Yo kouri ale toupatou sou latè.
and the strong go forth, and seek to go that they may walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Go, walk to and fro through the earth. And they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Lèfini, zanj lan rele m', li di m' konsa: -Chwal ou wè ki pran direksyon peyi ki sou bò nò a fè kòlè Seyè a tonbe.
And he cried unto me, and spoke unto me, saying, See, these that go forth towards the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
10 -W'a pran ofrann moun ki soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a: Eldayi, Tobija ak Jedaya. W'a ale lakay Jozyas, pitit gason Sofoni an, ki fèk rive soti lavil Babilòn.
Take [gifts] of them of the captivity, of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and enter into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon;
11 W'a pran ajan ak lò yo te ba ou yo, w'a fè yon kouwòn, w'a mete l' sou tèt Jozye, pitit gason Jozadak la, granprèt la.
yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 Lèfini, w'a pale avè l', w'a di l': Men sa Seyè a di: Men moun yo rele Boujon an. Li pral pouse kote li ye a. Li pral rebati kay ki apa pou Seyè a.
and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold a man whose name is [the] Branch; and he shall grow up from his own place, and he shall build the temple of Jehovah:
13 Se li menm ki pral rebati kay ki apa pou Seyè a. Yo pral konsidere l' tankou yon wa. Li pral chita sou fòtèy la pou l' gouvènen pèp mwen an. Va gen yon prèt bò kote l'. Y'a travay ansanm ak kè poze.
even he shall build the temple of Jehovah; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
14 Kouwòn lan menm va rete nan kay ki apa pou Seyè a. L'a sèvi pou fè moun toujou chonje Eldayi, Tobija, Jedaja ak Jozyas, pitit gason Sofoni an.
And the crowns shall be for Helem, and for Tobijah, and for Jedaiah, and for Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
15 Moun ki rete byen lwen va vini, y'a ede nou rebati tanp Seyè a. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m' kote nou. Se sa menm ki va rive si nou fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou lòd fè.
And they that are far off shall come and build at the temple of Jehovah: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God.
