Zechariah 12

The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou fè konnen volonte l' sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Men desizyon li pran, li menm Seyè a, ki louvri syèl la nan plas li, ki kreye latè a epi ki bay moun lavi.

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

Mwen pral fè lavil Jerizalèm fè moun lòt nasyon ki bò kote l' yo pèdi tèt yo, tankou moun ki sou. Lè y'a sènen lavil Jerizalèm, yo pral sènen lavil ki nan rès peyi Jida yo tou.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Lè sa a, m'ap fè lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon gwo wòch lou kou pwa senkant. Tout nasyon ki va chache leve l' va foule anba l'. Tout moun sou latè pral mete ansanm pou yo atake l'.

In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

Jou sa a atò, m'ap fè tout chwal yo lonbraje, m'ap fè kavalye yo depale. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. M'ap veye pèp Jida a pou anyen pa rive yo. Men, m'ap fè tout chwal lènmi l' yo vin avèg.

And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

Lè sa a, moun fanmi Jida yo va di nan kè yo se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye yo a, ki tout fòs moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo.

In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

Lè sa a, m'ap fè moun fanmi Jida yo tounen tankou yon boukan dife nan mitan yon rakbwa, osinon y'ap tankou bwa chandèl limen nan mitan pay chèch. L'ap devore tout peyi ki toupre l' yo, sou bò gòch ak sou bò dwat. Men, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ap rete nan plas yo.

The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.

Premye moun Seyè a ap delivre, se va moun Jida yo. Konsa, lwanj y'a fè pou pitit pitit David yo ak pou pèp Jerizalèm lan p'ap pi gwo pase lwanj y'ap fè pou rès moun Jida yo.

In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

Lè sa a, Seyè a va louvri zèl li pou l' pwoteje tout moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo. Wi, lè sa a, menm pi fèb la ap gen fòs tankou David. Pitit pitit David yo va alatèt pou dirije yo tankou Bondye, tankou zanj Seyè a.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Lè sa a, m'a detwi tout nasyon ki va konprann pou yo atake lavil Jerizalèm.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

M'a fè pitit pitit David yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo gen bon kè. M'a fè yo konn lapriyè nan pye m'. Y'a leve je yo gade m', y'a wè moun yo te pèse a. Y'a nan gwo lapenn pou li tankou moun ki pèdi sèl pitit li te genyen an. Y'a pete rele tankou moun ki pèdi premye pitit gason yo.

In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

Lè sa a, rèl ap pete lavil Jerizalèm tankou lè rèl te pete pou Adad-Rimòn nan plenn Megidon an.

And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

Nan peyi a, chak fanmi va mete tèt yo ansanm pou yo rele pou kont yo, gason nan fanmi David yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, gason nan fanmi Natan yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò,

The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

gason nan fanmi Levi yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, gason nan fanmi Chimèy yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò.

All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

Tout rès fanmi yo va kenbe rèl la tou, gason yo yon bò, medam yo yon lòt bò, chak fanmi bò pa yo.
