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 from the Lord rain, at the time of spring rain, from the Lord who forms the storm clouds, and the showers of rain he gives to you, and green in 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.
But the household gods speak nonsense, and the diviners see lies, and relate idle dreams. In vain they offer comfort, so the people wander like sheep, They suffer 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 wrath is hot against the shepherds, and on the leaders will I bring punishment. For the Lord cares for his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them his splendid war steeds.
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 Judah will come the cornerstone and the stay, from them the battle bow, from them goes forth every commander.
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.
Together they will trample on warriors, as on the dirt of the streets in battle. They fight, for the Lord is with them, putting the riders on horses to shame.
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.
I will make strong the house of Judah, I will bring deliverance to the house of Joseph, I will bring them back for I have compassion on them, they will be as if I had not driven them away. For I am the Lord their God and will answer 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.
The Ephraimites will be like warriors, their hearts will rejoice as with wine, their children will see and rejoice. Their hearts will exult in the Lord.
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 gather them, and they will be as many as they once were.
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.
I will sow them among the peoples, but in distant lands they will remember me, and they will bring up their children and come back.
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.
I will bring them home from the land of Egypt, and from Assyria will I gather them. Into the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them, until the land overflows with 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 when they pass through the sea of distress, I will strike down the waves of the sea, and all the deeps of the Nile will be dried up. The pride of Assyria will be brought low and the sceptre of Egypt turned aside.
12 Mwen va ranfòse yo nan SENYÈ a. Nan non pa Li, yo va mache monte desann” deklare SENYÈ a.
I will make them strong in the Lord, they will walk in his name, says the Lord.
