Zakari 14
1 Gade byen, yon jou pou SENYÈ a ap vini, jou lè piyaj ke yo rache de nou menm yo, va divize andedan nou.
Watch out! For the day of the Lord is coming when what has been plundered from you will be divided up right in front of you.
2 Paske Mwen va rasanble tout nasyon yo kont Jérusalem pou batay. Vil la va vin kaptire, kay yo va piyaje, fanm yo va vyole. Mwatye nan vil la va voye an egzil, men rès a pèp la p ap koupe retire de vil la.
I will bring together all the nations to attack Jerusalem. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the population will be taken into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.
3 Konsa, SENYÈ a va parèt pou goumen kont nasyon sila yo, jan Li goumen nan yon jou batay la.
Then the Lord will go out to fight against the nations as he fights in times of war.
4 Nan jou sa a, pye Li va poze sou Mòn Olivier a, ki devan Jérusalem sou pati lès la. Epi Mòn Olivier a va fann nan mitan soti nan lès pou rive nan lwès, e va gen yon gwo gwo vale. Mwatye nan mòn nan va deplase vè nò e lòt mwatye a vè sid.
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives which faces Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of Olives will split apart, with half moving north and half moving south, creating a wide valley from east to west.
5 Nou va sove ale pa vale a mòn Mwen yo, paske vale a mòn yo va rive jis Atzel. Wi, nou va sove ale menm jan ke nou te sove ale devan tranbleman tè nan jou Ozias la, wa Juda a. Epi SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an va vini e tout sen fidèl yo va avèk Li!
You will run away through this mountain valley for it will reach as far as Azal. You will run away like people did at the time of the earthquake during the reign of Uzzah, king of Judah. Then the Lord will come, accompanied by all his holy ones.
6 Nan jou sa a p ap gen limyè, ni fredi, ni glas sou tè.
On that day there will be no longer cold and frost.
7 Li va yon jou inik ki konnen pa SENYÈ a; li p ap ni lajounen ni lannwit, men li va vin rive ke nan aswè, va gen limyè.
It will be one continuous day (only the Lord knows how this could happen). It won't be day or night, because in the evening it will still be light.
8 Li va rive nan jou sa a, kouran dlo yo va koule sòti Jérusalem; mwatye nan yo vè pati lès lanmè a, e lòt mwatye a vè pati lwès lanmè a. Li va konsa ni nan sezon ete ni nan sezon ivè.
On that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of it going east to the Dead Sea and half going west to the Mediterranean Sea, flowing in summer and winter alike.
9 Epi SENYÈ a va wa sou tout tè a. Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va yon sèl, e non Li va yon sèl.
The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one true Lord, and his name the only one.
10 Tout peyi a va devni yon savann, depi Guéba jis rive Rimmon, nan sid Jérusalem. Men Jérusalem va vin leve, e rete nan plas li soti nan Pòtay Benjamin an, jis rive nan pozisyon premye Pòtay la, pou janbe nan Pòtal Kwen an, e soti nan tou Hananéel la, jis rive nan pèz diven a wa a.
The whole land will be transformed into a plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem will be raised up to where it was, and people will live there from the Benjamin Gate to where the old gate was, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.
11 Moun yo va viv ladann, e p ap gen malediksyon ankò, paske Jérusalem va rete ansekirite.
It will be inhabited and never again condemned to destruction again—people will be able to live in safety in Jerusalem.
12 Men sa va fleyo avèk sila SENYÈ a va frape tout pèp ki te fè lagè kont Jérusalem yo: chè yo va pouri pandan yo kanpe sou pye yo, zye yo va pouri nan tèt yo, e lang yo va pouri nan pwòp bouch yo.
This will be the plague that the Lord will use to strike all the nations that attacked Jerusalem. Their flesh shall rot while they are still standing on their feet; their eyes will rot in their sockets; their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 Li va vin rive nan jou sa a ke yon gwo panik ki sòti nan SENYÈ a va tonbe sou yo. Konsa, chak va kenbe men vwazen l, e men a youn va vin leve kont men a lòt la.
On that day the Lord will strike them with a terrible panic, and they will seize one another, and fight hand-to-hand.
14 Anplis, Juda va goumen nan Jérusalem. Richès a tout nasyon ki ozanviwon yo va vin rasanble ansanm; lò, ajan ak vètman an gran kantite.
Even Judah will fight in Jerusalem. The wealth of the surrounding nations shall be collected: lots of gold, silver, and clothes.
15 Jan fleyo sa a ye a, se konsa tou fleyo a va ye sou cheval, milèt, chamo, bourik ak tout bèf ki va nan kan sa yo.
A similar plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all other animals that may be in their camps.
16 Epi li va vin rive ke tout moun ki rete nan tout nasyon ki te ale kont Jérusalem yo, yo tout va ale monte ane pa ane pou adore Wa a, SENYÈ Dèzame yo, e pou selebre Fèt Tonèl yo.
After this every one of the survivors from the nations that attacked Jerusalem will go there to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
17 Epi sa va rive ke nenpòt moun nan fanmi sou latè yo ki pa monte Jérusalem pou adore Wa a, SENYÈ Dèzame yo, Lapli p ap tonbe sou yo.
If any of the peoples of the world refuse to go to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.
18 Si fanmi peyi Egypte la pa monte oswa pa vini; alò, lapli p ap tonbe sou yo. Va gen fleyo ke SENYÈ a te frape nasyon ki pa t monte pou selebre Fèt Tonèl Yo.
If the Egyptian people refuse to go and attend, then the Lord will inflict on them the same plague as on the other nations who will not go celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
19 Sa va pinisyon Egypte la ak pinisyon a tout nasyon ki pa monte pou selebre Fèt Tonèl yo.
This will be the punishment on Egypt and all the nations if they do not go to Jerusalem and celebrate.
20 Nan jou sa a, va gen anons sa sou klòch cheval yo: “SEN A SENYÈ A”. Epi chodyè ki kwit manje lakay SENYÈ yo, va tankou bòl devan lotèl yo.
On that day the bells worn by horses will be engraved with the words “Holy to the Lord.” The household cooking pots used in the Lord's Temple will be as holy as the bowls used on the altar in the presence of the Lord.
21 Tout chodyè pou kwit manje Jérusalem ak Juda yo, va vin sen pou SENYÈ Dèzame yo; epi tout moun ki fè sakrifis yo va vin pran yo, e bouyi sakrifis ladan yo. Epi p ap gen ankò, yon Kananeyen nan kay SENYÈ Dèzame yo nan jou sa a.
Every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, so that everyone who comes to sacrifice can take them and cook their sacrificial meat in them. On that day there will no longer be traders in the Lord's Temple.
