Zakari 9

1 Yon revelasyon. Pawòl SENYÈ a kont peyi Hadrac la, e l ap poze sou Damas, paske zye a lòm ak tout trib Israël se vè SENYÈ a,

The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] toward the LORD.

2 epi osi vè Hamath, ki nan lizyè li a; Tyr ak Sidon paske yo saj anpil.

And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.

3 Paske Tyr te bati pou kont li yon fò; li te fè depo ajan tankou pousyè, ak depo lò tankou labou nan lari.

And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

4 Gade byen, SENYÈ a va rache tout sa li posede, e jete tout richès li yo nan lanmè. Li va devore nèt ak dife a.

Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

5 Askalon va wè l e vin pè. Anplis, gaza va tòde ak gwo doulè; epi Ékron, pou sa li te atann va desi. Anplis ke sa, wa a va peri Gaza e Askalon va vin pa gen moun.

Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gaza also [shall see it], and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

6 Yon ras mele va vin rete Asdod e Mwen va rache ògèy a Filisten yo.

And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

7 Mwen va retire san li, soti nan bouch li, ak abominasyon soti nan mitan dan l yo. Konsa, yo va devni osi yon retay pou Bondye nou an. Yo va tankou yon chèf pou Juda, e Ékron va tankou Jebizyen yo.

And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, [shall be] for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

8 Mwen va kanpe antoure kay Mwen an kont lame a, pou pèsòn moun pa travèse oswa retounen. Konsa, p ap gen moun k ap travèse pou oprime yo ankò. Paske koulye a, ak zye pa m, Mwen wè.

And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

9 Rejwi anpil, O fi a Sion an! Kriye yon son viktwa, O fi a Sion an! Gade byen wa ou ap vini kote ou; Li jis e Li gen Sali; Li enb e Li monte sou yon bourik, menm yon jenn pòtre, pitit a yon bourik.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

10 Mwen va koupe retire cha Éphraïm nan, ansanm ak cheval Jérusalem nan. Banza lagè a va koupe retire; Li va pale lapè a nasyon yo. Wayòm Li an va soti nan lanmè jis rive nan lanmè, e nan Rivyè Euphrate la jis pou l rive nan dènye pwent tè a.

And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea [even] to sea, and from the river [even] to the ends of the earth.

11 Menmjan an pou ou menm tou, akoz san akò Mwen an ki avèk ou, Mwen te mete prizonye ou yo an libète soti nan twou fòs ki pa gen dlo a.

As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein [is] no water.

12 Retounen nan sitadèl la, O prizonye ki gen lespwa a! Nan jou sa a menm, Mwen deklare ke Mwen va remèt ou doub de sa.

Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare [that] I will render double unto thee;

13 Paske Mwen te koube Juda konsi se te banza Mwen. Mwen te plen banza a avèk Éphraïm. Mwen va fè leve fis ou yo, O Sion, kont fis ou yo, O Grèce, e Mwen va fè ou vin tankou nepe a yon gèrye pwisan.

When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

14 Epi SENYÈ a va vin parèt sou yo, e flèch Li va pati tankou kout loray. Senyè BONDYE a va sone twonpèt la, e Li va mache nan van tanpèt sid yo.

And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

15 SENYÈ dèzame yo va defann yo. Yo va devore, e yo va foule anba pye ak tout wòch fistibal yo. Yo va bwè, e fè bwi tankou se diven y ap bwè. Epi yo va vin ranpli tankou basen sakrifis, tankou kwen lotèl yo.

The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners of the altar.

16 Konsa SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a, va sove yo nan jou sa a, tankou foul moun a pèp Li a; paske yo tankou wòch presye, bijou yon kouwòn k ap klere toupatou anwo tout peyi Li a.

And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they [shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

17 Paske a la gran, bonte Li va gran, e a la gran, bèlte Li va gran! Sereyal la va fè jenn mesye yo pwospere ak diven nèf pou vyèj yo.

For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
