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.
I looked up again, and [in the vision] I saw four chariots coming toward me. [They were coming] between two mountains [that were made] of bronze.
2 Nan premye cha a, te gen cheval wouj. Nan dezyèm cha a, te gen cheval nwa.
The first chariot [was pulled by] red horses, the second chariot [was pulled by] 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 [was pulled by] white horses, and the fourth chariot [was pulled by] spotted gray horses. They were all very strong horses.
4 Konsa mwen te pale. Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan: “Kisa sa yo ye, mèt mwen?”
I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “Sir, what do those chariots mean?”
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 angel replied, “They have come from standing in the presence of the Lord who controls/rules the entire earth. They will go across the sky in four directions.
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 chariot [pulled by] black horses will go north, the [one pulled by] white horses will go west, the one [pulled by] spotted gray horses will go 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.
When those powerful horses left, their [chariot-drivers] were eager to go throughout the world. [As they were leaving, ] the angel said to them, “Go throughout the world [and see what is happening]!” So that is what they did.
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 the angel called to me [and said], “Look/Listen, the [drivers of the] chariots that have gone north will do what the Spirit [of Yahweh wants them to do] there.”
9 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
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.
He said, “Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah will be bringing some silver and gold from the people who were (exiled in/forced to go to) Babylon. As soon as they arrive, go to the house of 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 [some of that] silver and gold from them and make a crown. Then put it on the head of Jehozadak’s son Joshua, the Supreme 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.
Tell him that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that the man who is called the Branch will come. He will leave the place where he is now, and he will [supervise those who] build my temple.
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 is the one who [will tell those who] will build my temple [what to do]. He will wear royal clothing and he will sit on his throne and rule. There will also be a priest [sitting] next to his throne, and the two of them will work together harmoniously.
14 Alò kouwòn yo va devni yon souvni nan tanp SENYÈ a pou Hélem, Tobija, Jedaeja, Hen, fis a Sophonie an.
The crown must be [kept] in my temple to remind people of what Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah [did for them].
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 who are [living] far away will come and [help to] build my temple. When that happens, the people will know that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have sent you to them. [That will happen] if they faithfully obey me, Yahweh, your/their God.”
