Zakari 2

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

I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, 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 I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."

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

Look, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet 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 said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.

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,' says the LORD, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst 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.

Come. Come. Flee from the land of the north,' says the LORD; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says the LORD.

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

'Come, Zion. Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'

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 says the LORD of hosts: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of my 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, look, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of hosts has 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.

Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, look, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says 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.

Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

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

The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

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

Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation."
