< Zakari 6 >

1 Alò, mwen te leve zye m ankò pou m te gade, e vwala te gen kat cha ki t ap soti parèt antre de mòn. Mòn yo te mòn ki fèt an bwonz.
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were brazen mountains.
2 Nan premye cha a, te gen cheval wouj. Nan dezyèm cha a, te gen cheval nwa.
In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 Nan twazyèm cha a te gen cheval blan. Nan katriyèm cha a, te gen cheval takte yo, tout nan yo byen dyanm.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald [and] ash-coloured horses.
4 Konsa mwen te pale. Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan: “Kisa sa yo ye, mèt mwen?”
And I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord?
5 Zanj lan te reponn mwen. Li te di: “Sa yo se kat lespri a syèl yo k ap prale soti devan Senyè a tout tè a.
And the angel that talked with me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, [and] they are going forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Cha kote cheval nwa yo ye a ap prale nan peyi nò a, epi blan yo te soti dèyè yo. Epi takte yo ap prale nan peyi sid la.”
[As for the chariot] in which were the black horses, they went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the piebald went out to the land of the south.
7 Konsa, cheval ki dyanm yo te ale. Yo te sòti pou yo ta ka mache ale retou sou tout latè. Konsa, yo te mache ale retou sou latè a.
And the ash-coloured went out, and looked to go and compass the earth: and he said, Go, and compass the earth. And they compassed the earth.
8 Answit, li te rele m. Li te pale pou di m: “Gade byen, yo se sila k ap prale vè peyi nò a, e yo te apeze chalè kòlè Mwen nan peyi nò a.”
And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these go out to the land of the north, and they have quieted mine anger in the land of the north.
9 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
10 “Pran yon ofrann soti nan egzile yo, soti nan Heldaï, Tobija, ak Jedaeja. Ale nan menm jou a e antre lakay Josias, fis a Sophonie an, kote yo soti Babylone nan.
Take the things of the captivity from the chief men, and from the useful men of it, and from them that have understood it; and thou shalt enter in that day into the house of Josias the son of Sophonias that came out of Babylon.
11 Pran ajan ak lò, fè yon kouwòn byen bèl, e mete li sou tèt a Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la.
And thou shalt take silver and gold, and make crowns, and thou shalt put [them] upon the head of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest;
12 Epi di a li menm: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Gade byen, nonm ki gen non ki rele Scion an. Li va grandi soti kote Li ye a, e Li va bati tanp SENYÈ a.
and thou shalt say to him, Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up from his stem, and build the house of the Lord.
13 Wi, se Li menm ki va bati tanp SENYÈ a. Li va pote laglwa, e Li va chita pou gouvène sou twòn Li an. Konsa, Li va yon prèt ki chita sou twòn Li, e konsey lapè a va antre yo de.’”
And he shall receive power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceable counsel shall be between [them] both.
14 Alò kouwòn yo va devni yon souvni nan tanp SENYÈ a pou Hélem, Tobija, Jedaeja, Hen, fis a Sophonie an.
And the crown shall be to them that wait patiently, and to the useful men of the captivity, and to them that have known it, and for the favour of the son of Sophonias, and for a psalm in the house of the Lord.
15 Sila ki lwen yo va vin bati nan tanp SENYÈ a.” Konsa ou va konnen ke se SENYÈ dèzame yo ki te voye mwen vè nou. Sa va vin rive si nou obeyi nèt SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
And they [that are] far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you: and [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.
