< 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 again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between the 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 grizzled bay horses.
4 Mwen pran lapawòl, mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Sa sa yo ye, mèt?
Then I answered and said unto the angel that spoke 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 chariots go forth to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves 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 wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward 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 bay went forth'. And they sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth; and he said: 'Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth.' So 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.
Then cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying: 'Behold, they that go toward the north country have eased My spirit in the north country.'
9 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:
And the word of the LORD 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 of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, that are come from Babylon; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
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 the one 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 the LORD of hosts, saying: Behold, a man whose name is the Shoot, and who shall shoot up out of his place, and build the temple of the LORD;
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 the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest before 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 to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
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 in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And it shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD your God —.'
