Zakari 10
1 Mande pou lapli ki sòti nan SENYÈ a nan epòk prentan. Se SENYÈ a ki fè nwaj tanpèt yo; epi se Li ki bay lapli lejè a tout pou jaden plant yo.
Ask ye of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain! It is Jehovah that maketh the lightning; And he will give you abundant showers, To every one the herb of the field.
2 Paske zidòl lakay yo pale inikite; divinò yo k ap fè vizyon ki pa vrè, ke yo repete kòn fo rèv. Yo bay rekonfò an ven. Konsa, pèp la mache egare tankou mouton; yo aflije akoz yo pa gen bèje.
For the teraphim speak falsehood, And the diviners see a lie, And the dreams speak falsehood; Vain are their consolations. Therefore they wander as a flock; They are in distress, because there is no shepherd.
3 Kòlè Mwen limen kont bèje yo. Mwen va pini mal kabrit yo, paske SENYÈ dèzame yo te vizite bann mouton li an lakay Juda, e Li va fè yo vin tankou cheval majeste Li nan batay la.
My anger is kindled against the shepherds, And the bucks will I punish; For Jehovah of hosts will visit his flock, the house of Judah, And make them as his goodly horse in battle.
4 De li menm, va vin parèt wòch ang lan, de li menm, pikèt tant lan, de li menm, banza batay la, de li menm, tout wa yo ansanm.
From him shall come forth the corner-stone, From him the nail, From him the battle-bow; From him shall every leader come forth.
5 Yo va tankou mesye pwisan yo, k ap foule lènmi yo anba pye yo, nan labou lari a nan batay la. Yo va goumen, paske SENYÈ a va avèk yo; epi sila ki monte sou cheval yo va anbwouye.
And they shall be as mighty men, Who tread down their enemies in battle as the mire of the streets, And they shall fight, because Jehovah is with them, So that the riders on horses shall be confounded.
6 Mwen va ranfòse lakay Juda a, Mwen va sove lakay Joseph la, e mwen va fè yo retounen; paske Mwen gen konpasyon pou yo. Konsa, yo va vin konsi Mwen pa t janm rejte yo, paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye yo, e mwen va reponn yo.
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, And give victory to the house of Joseph, And I will set them in their dwellings, because I have compassion upon them; And they shall be as though I had not cast them off; For I am Jehovah, their God, and I will hear them.
7 Éphraïm va vin tankou yon gwo nonm pwisan e kè yo va kontan konsi se ak diven. Anverite, pitit yo va wè sa, e yo va kontan, kè yo va rejwi nan SENYÈ a.
And Ephraim shall be as a mighty man, And their heart shall rejoice, as through wine; And their sons shall see it and rejoice, Their hearts shall rejoice in Jehovah.
8 Mwen va soufle pou yo pou yo kab vin rasanble yo, paske Mwen te rachte yo. Konsa, yo va vin anpil, jan yo te ye oparavan an.
I will whistle for them, and will gather them; for I have redeemed them; And they shall increase as they increased before.
9 Lè Mwen gaye yo pami lòt pèp yo, yo va sonje Mwen nan peyi lwen yo. Yo va viv ak pitit yo, e yo va retounen.
Though I scatter them among the nations, Yet in far countries will they remember me; And they shall live with their children, and shall return.
10 Mwen va mennen yo retounen soti nan peyi Égypte la, e rasanble yo soti Assyrie. Mwen va mennen yo antre nan peyi Galaad ak Liban jiskaske pa gen espas pou yo.
And I will bring them back from the land of Egypt, And from Assyria will I gather them; And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and of Lebanon, And there shall not be room enough for them.
11 Li va pase nan lanmè afliksyon an, e Li va frape lanm lanmè yo, jiskaske tout pwofondè Rivyè Nil lan vin sèch. Epi ògèy Assyrie va vin bese e baton Égypte la va sòti.
And he shall pass through the sea of distress, And he shall smite the sea of waves, And all the depths of the river shall be dried up; And the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, And the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.
12 Mwen va ranfòse yo nan SENYÈ a. Nan non pa Li, yo va mache monte desann” deklare SENYÈ a.
And I will strengthen them through Jehovah, And in his name shall they walk, saith Jehovah.
