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 once again I lifted mine eyes, and looked, and lo! four chariots, coming forward from between two mountains, —now, the mountains, were mountains of copper.
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, horses spotted, deep red.
4 Konsa mwen te pale. Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan: “Kisa sa yo ye, mèt mwen?”
Then began I, and said, unto the messenger who was speaking 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 messenger answered, and said unto me, —These, are the four winds of the heavens, coming forward after each hath presented itself near 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.”
They in whose chariot are the black horses, are going forth into the land of the North, and, the white, have gone forth after them, —and, the spotted, have gone forth into 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 deep red, have come forward and sought to go their way, that they might journey to and fro in the land, so he said, Go your way, journey to and fro in the land, —and they journeyed to and fro in the land.
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 made he outcry beside me, and spake unto me, saying, —See, these who are going forth into the land of the North, have settled my spirit in the land of the North.
9 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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 of them of the exile, of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, —then shalt, thou thyself, enter, on that day, yea thou shalt enter the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, [with them] who have come in 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.
yea thou shalt take silver and gold, and make a crown, —and set [it] upon the head of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, 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.
then shalt thou speak unto him, saying, Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —Lo! a man! Bud, is his name, and, out of his own place, shall he bud forth, and shall build the temple of Yahweh;
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.’”
Yea, he, shall build the temple of Yahweh, and, he, shall bear the honour, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, —and shall become a priest upon his throne, and, the counsel of peace, shall be between the two of them.
14 Alò kouwòn yo va devni yon souvni nan tanp SENYÈ a pou Hélem, Tobija, Jedaeja, Hen, fis a Sophonie an.
But, the crown, shall belong to Heldai and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, —for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
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 who are afar off, shall come in and shall build at the temple of Yahweh, so shall yea know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you, —and it shall come to pass if ye will, indeed hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh your God.
