< Zechariah 10 >
1 Ask ye of the Lord rain in the latter season, and the Lord will make snows, and will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
Mummisa Awurade hɔ nsu asusowbere mu; ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔyɛ osu ne mu ahum. Ɔma osu tɔ ma nnipa nyinaa, ne nnɔbae nso ma obiara.
2 For the idols have spoken what was unprofitable, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreamers have spoken vanity: they comforted in vain: therefore they were led away as a dock: they shall be afflicted, because they have no shepherd.
Ahoni no ka nnaadaasɛm, nkɔmhyɛfo nya anisoadehu a ɛyɛ atoro; wɔde nkontomposɛm kyerɛ dae ase, wɔma awerɛkyekye kwa. Enti nnipa no nenam te sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo na wɔhyɛ wɔn so.
3 My wrath is kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit upon the buck goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Juda, and hath made them as the horse of his glory in the battle.
“Me bo afuw nguanhwɛfo no yiye, na mɛtwe ntuanofo no aso. Na Asafo Awurade bɛhwɛ ne nguankuw a wɔyɛ Yudafi no, na wayɛ wɔn sɛ anuonyam pɔnkɔ wɔ ɔsa mu.
4 Out of him shall come forth the corner, out of him the pin, out of him the bow of battle, out of him every exacter together.
Tweatibo befi Yuda mu, na ntamadan pɛe befi ne mu, ɔsa mu tadua befi Yuda mu, na sodifo nyinaa nso saa ara.
5 And they shall be as mighty men, treading under foot the mire of the ways in battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders of horses shall be confounded.
Wɔbɛbɔ mu ayɛ sɛ dɔmmarima a wotiatia mmorɔn so dontori mu wɔ ɔko mu. Esiane sɛ Awurade ka wɔn ho no nti, wɔbɛko na wɔadi apɔnkɔsotefo no so.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph: and I will bring them back again, because I will have mercy on them: and they shall be as they were when I had cast them off, for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.
“Mɛhyɛ Yudafi den na magye Yosefi no nkwa. Mede wɔn besi wɔn dedaw mu efisɛ me yam hyehye me wɔ wɔn ho. Wɔbɛyɛ te sɛ nea mempoo wɔn mpo, na mene Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn, na megye wɔn so.
7 And they shall be as the valiant men of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: and their children shall see, and shall rejoice, and their heart shall be joyful in the Lord.
Efraimfo bɛyɛ sɛ dɔmmarima, wɔn ani begye te sɛ nea wɔanom nsa. Wɔn mma behu na wɔn ani begye; wobedi ahurusi wɔ wɔn koma mu wɔ Awurade mu.
8 I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed them: and I will multiply them as they were multiplied before.
Mɛto nsa afrɛ wɔn aboaboa wɔn ano. Ampa ara megye wɔn bio; wɔbɛdɔɔso sɛ kan no.
9 And I will sow them among peoples: and from afar they shall remember me: and they shall live with their children, and shall return.
Ɛwɔ mu, mɛhwete wɔn mu akɔ aman so, nanso wɔbɛkae me wɔ akyirikyiri nsase so. Wɔne wɔn mma bɛtena nkwa mu, na wɔbɛsan aba.
10 And I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and will gather them from among the Assyrians: and will bring them to the land of Galaad, and Libanus, and place shall not be found for them.
Mede wɔn befi Misraim aba mɛboa wɔn ano afi Asiria. Mede wɔn bɛba Gilead ne Lebanon, na wɔrensen hɔ.
11 And he shall pass over the strait of the sea, and shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river shall be confounded, and the pride of Assyria shall be humbled, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.
Wɔbɛfa ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ po mu, nanso wobedi po asorɔkye a ehuru no so. Nil mu nsu nyinaa bɛyow. Asiria ahomaso nso wɔbɛbrɛ no ase na Misraim ahempema betwa mu akɔ.
12 I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name, saith the Lord.
Mɛhyɛ wɔn den wɔ Awurade mu na ne din mu na wɔbɛnantew,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
