Zakari 2

1 Konsa, Mwen te leve zye m gade, e vwala, te gen yon nonm ak yon lign mezi nan men l.

I lift vp mine eyes againe and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 Konsa mwen te di: “Ki kote ou prale la a?” Li te di mwen: “Pou mezire Jérusalem, pou wè ki lajè li genyen, ak longè li.”

Then saide I, Whither goest thou? And he saide vnto me, To measure Ierusalem, that I may see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

3 Epi vwala zanj ki t ap pale avèk mwen an te sòti, e yon lòt zanj te vin parèt pou rankontre avè l.

And beholde, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth: and another Angel went out to meete him,

4 Li te di li: “Kouri pale ak jennonm sa a, pou di l: ‘Jérusalem va vin plen moun tankou vilaj ki san miray, akoz kantite moun ak bèt k ap rete ladann.

And saide vnto him, Runne, speake to this yong man, and say, Ierusalem shalbe inhabited without walles, for the multitude of men and cattell therein.

5 Paske Mwen menm’, deklare SENYÈ a: ‘Mwen va devni yon miray dife k ap antoure fi a, e Mwen va laglwa nan mitan l.

For I, saith the Lord, will be vnto her a wall of fire round about, and wil be the glory in the middes of her.

6 “‘Vini! Vini! Sove ale kite peyi nò a,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘paske Mwen te gaye nou tankou kat van syèl yo,’ deklare SENYÈ a.

Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue scattered you into the foure winds of the heauen, saith ye Lord.

7 ‘Vini Sion! Kouri chape poul nou, nou ki rete ak fi a Babylone nan.’

Saue thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.

8 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Dèyè glwa pa Li a, Li te voye mwen kont nasyon k ap piyaje nou yo, paske sila ki touche ou a, te touche ponm de zye tèt Li.

For thus saith the Lord of hostes, After this glory hath hee sent me vnto the nations, which spoyled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

9 Paske, gade byen, Mwen va souke men M sou yo, e yo va vin piyaj pou sila ki te sèvi yo. Epi konsa, ou va konnen ke se SENYÈ dèzame yo ki te voye Mwen.

For beholde, I will lift vp mine hand vpon them: and they shalbe a spoyle to those that serued them, and ye shall knowe, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me.

10 Chante ak lajwa e fè kè ou kontan, O fi a Sion an! Paske, gade byen, Mwen ap vini, e Mwen va rete nan mitan nou,’ deklare SENYÈ a.

Reioyce, and be glad, O daughter Zion: for loe, I come, and will dwell in the middes of thee, saith the Lord.

11 Anpil nasyon va vin jwenn yo ak SENYÈ a nan jou sa a, e va devni pèp Mwen. Epi Mwen va demere nan mitan nou, e nou va konnen ke se SENYÈ dèzame yo ki te voye Mwen kote nou.

And many nations shall be ioyned to the Lord in that day, and shalbe my people: and I will dwell in the middes of thee, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto thee.

12 SENYÈ a va posede Juda kon pòsyon pa Li nan peyi sen an, e Li va chwazi Jérusalem ankò.

And the Lord shall inherite Iudah his portion in the holy lande, and shall chuse Ierusalem againe.

13 Se pou nou fè silans, tout chè, devan SENYÈ a; paske Li gen tan leve nan abitasyon sen Li an.”

Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy place.
