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 oracle of the word of Yahweh on the land of Hadrach, and, Damascus, shall be the resting-place thereof, —For, Yahweh, hath an eye—to mankind, and to all the tribes of Israel;
2 epi osi vè Hamath, ki nan lizyè li a; Tyr ak Sidon paske yo saj anpil.
Moreover also, Hamath, adjoineth thereto, Tyre and Zidon, —because 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.
Therefore did Tyre build a stronghold for herself, —and did heap up silver like dust, yea gold, like the mire of the lanes.
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.
Lo! My Lord, shall dispossess her, and smite, into the sea, her fortress, —and, she herself, in fire, shall be consumed.
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, and fear, Gaza, also, which shall writhe in great anguish, Ekron, also, because abashed is her expectation, —and the king, shall perish, from Gaza, and, Ashkelon, not be inhabited;
6 Yon ras mele va vin rete Asdod e Mwen va rache ògèy a Filisten yo.
And there shall be seated a half-breed in Ashdod, —So will I cut off the arrogance 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 will take away his reeking prey out of his mouth, and his abominations, from between his teeth, but, he that is left, even he, shall belong to our God, —So shall he become as a chief 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.
Then will I encamp about my house—against an army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, neither shall an exactor, tread them down any more, —for, now, have I seen with mine own 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.
Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he, —lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young 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.
So will he cut off the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the war-bow, shall be cut off, So shall he speak peace to the nations, and, his dominion, shall be from sea to sea, and from the river [Euphrates] 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, have I sent forth thy prisoners out of a 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.
Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope, —Even to-day, do I declare—Double, will I return to 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.
For I have bent for me—Judah, As a bow, have I grasped Ephraim, Thus will I rouse up thy sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty one.
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.
But, Yahweh, over them, will appear, and forth shall go, as lightning, his arrow, —Yea, My Lord Yahweh, with a horn, will blow, and will move along in the 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.
Yahweh of hosts, will throw a covering over them, so shall they eat, and trample underfoot sling-stones, and shall drink—shall shout as with wine, —and shall be filled like tossing-bowls, —like the corners of an 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.
So will Yahweh their God, save them, on that day. yea, as a flock of sheep, his people, —for [they shall be like] the jewels of a diadem sparkling over 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 excellent it is! Yea how beautiful! Corn, shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
