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 once again I lifted mine eyes, and looked, and lo! four chariots, coming forward from between two mountains, —now, the mountains, were mountains of copper.
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, horses spotted, deep red.
4 Mwen pran lapawòl, mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Sa sa yo ye, mèt?
Then began I, and said, unto the messenger who was speaking 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 messenger answered, and said unto me, —These, are the four winds of the heavens, coming forward after each hath presented itself near 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.
They in whose chariot are the black horses, are going forth into the land of the North, and, the white, have gone forth after them, —and, the spotted, have gone forth into the land of the South;
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 deep red, have come forward and sought to go their way, that they might journey to and fro in the land, so he said, Go your way, journey to and fro in the land, —and they journeyed to and fro in the land.
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 made he outcry beside me, and spake unto me, saying, —See, these who are going forth into the land of the North, have settled my spirit in the land of the North.
9 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:
Then came the word of Yahweh 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 exile, of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, —then shalt, thou thyself, enter, on that day, yea thou shalt enter the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, [with them] who have come in out of 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 thou shalt take silver and gold, and make a crown, —and set [it] upon the head of Jehoshua 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.
then shalt thou speak unto him, saying, Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —Lo! a man! Bud, is his name, and, out of his own place, shall he bud forth, and shall build the temple of Yahweh;
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.
Yea, he, shall build the temple of Yahweh, and, he, shall bear the honour, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, —and shall become a priest upon his throne, and, the counsel of peace, shall be between the two of them.
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.
But, the crown, shall belong to Heldai and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, —for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
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 who are afar off, shall come in and shall build at the temple of Yahweh, so shall yea know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you, —and it shall come to pass if ye will, indeed hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh your God.
