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.
Again I looked up, and saw four chariots come from between two mountains. The mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 Nan premye cha a, te gen cheval wouj. Nan dezyèm cha a, te gen cheval nwa.
The first chariot had red horses. The second chariot had 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.
the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses.
4 Konsa mwen te pale. Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan: “Kisa sa yo ye, mèt mwen?”
Then I said to the messenger who 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.
The messenger answered me, ‘These are the four winds of heaven going out after standing 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.”
The black horses are going toward the north country and the white toward the west and the dappled toward the south country.’
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.
The strong horses came out, and were impatient to patrol the earth. So he said, ‘Go, patrol the earth,’ and they did so.
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.”
Then he cried out to me, ‘The horses that went to the north country will quiet my spirit in the north country.’
9 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
Now this message of the Lord came to me:
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 gifts from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah who have come from Babylon and go at once to Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
11 Pran ajan ak lò, fè yon kouwòn byen bèl, e mete li sou tèt a Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la.
Take their silver and gold and make a crown and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
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.
Tell him: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. He will branch out from his place and rebuild the temple 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.’”
He will rebuild the temple and will sit and rule upon his throne, receiving the honour due to a king. A priest will stand by his throne and they will work together in peace and harmony.
14 Alò kouwòn yo va devni yon souvni nan tanp SENYÈ a pou Hélem, Tobija, Jedaeja, Hen, fis a Sophonie an.
The crown will be a memorial in the temple of the Lord for Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah, and Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
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.
People from far away will come and build in the temple of the Lord and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.’
