Zechariah 12
1 The burden of the worde of the Lord vpon Israel, sayth the Lord, which spred the heauens, and layed the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirite of man within him.
Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe nya si wògblɔ ɖe Israel ŋu, Yehowa si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba, eye wòwɔ gbɔgbɔ de ame me, eyae gblɔ be,
2 Beholde, I will make Ierusalem a cuppe of poyson vnto all the people round about: and also with Iudah will he be, in ye siege against Ierusalem.
“Mawɔ Yerusalem wòanye kplu si ne ame siwo ƒo xlãe noe la, woamu. Woaɖe to ɖe Yuda kple Yerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Ierusalem an heauie stone for all people: all that lift it vp, shall be torne, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Gbe ma gbe ne dukɔ siwo katã le anyigba dzi ƒo ƒu ɖe eŋuti la, mawɔ Yerusalem wòanye agakpe si meʋãna o la na dukɔwo. Ame siwo katã adi be yewoamli agakpe sia la axɔ abi.
4 In that day, sayeth the Lord, I will smite euery horse with astonishment, and his rider with madnesse, and I will open mine eyes vpon the house of Iudah, and will smite euery horse of the people with blindnesse.
Gbe ma gbe la, made vɔvɔ̃ sɔ ɖe sia ɖe me, eye matsɔ tsukuku ada ɖe wo dolawo dzi.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Nye ŋkuwo anɔ Yuda ƒe aƒe la ŋuti ɖaa, ke magbã ŋku na dukɔwo ƒe sɔwo.
5 And the princes of Iudah shall say in their hearts, The inhabitants of Ierusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hostes their God.
Ekema Yuda ƒe kplɔlawo agblɔ le woƒe dzi me be, ‘Yerusalemtɔwo sesẽ, elabena Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae nye woƒe Mawu.’
6 In that day will I make the princes of Iudah like coles of fire among the wood, and like a fire brand in the sheafe, and they shall deuoure all the people round about on the right hand, and on the left: and Ierusalem shall be inhabited againe in her owne place, euen in Ierusalem.
“Gbe ma gbe la, mawɔ Yuda ƒe kplɔlawo woanɔ abe dzoɖenu le nake si woƒo kɔe la dzi ene. Woanɔ abe akakati bibi le gbe ƒuƒuwo dome ene. Woabi ame siwo ƒo xlã wo, ɖusime kple miame siaa, ke Yerusalem ya anɔ te sesĩe.
7 The Lord also shall preserue the tents of Iudah, as afore time: therefore the glorie of the house of Dauid shall not boast, nor the glorie of the inhabitants of Ierusalem against Iudah.
“Yehowa aɖe Yuda ƒe nɔƒewo gbã, ale be bubu si le David ƒe aƒe la kple Yerusalem me nɔlawo ŋu la malolo wu Yudatɔ o.
8 In that day shall the Lord defende the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and he that is feeble among them, in that day shall be as Dauid: and the house of Dauid shall be as Gods house, and as the Angel of the Lord before them.
Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa atsɔ akpoxɔnu atsyɔ Yerusalem nɔlawo dzi, ale be ame gblɔetɔ kekeake si le wo dome la anɔ abe David ene, eye David ƒe aƒe la anɔ abe Mawu ene, anɔ abe Yehowa ƒe dɔla si dze ŋgɔ na wo la ene.
9 And in that day will I seeke to destroy all the nations that come against Ierusalem.
Gbe ma gbe la, matsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo katã tso ɖe Yerusalem ŋu.
10 And I will powre vpon the house of Dauid, and vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem the Spirite of grace and of compassion, and they shall looke vpon me, whom they haue pearced, and they shall lament for him, as one mourneth for his onely sonne, and be sorie for him as one is sorie for his first borne.
“Makɔ amenuveve kple gbedodoɖa ƒe gbɔgbɔ ɖe David ƒe aƒe la kple Yerusalem nɔlawo dzi. Woakpɔ nye, ame si wotɔ nui la dzi, woafa nɛ abe ale si wofana na vi ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ si ku la ene, eye woafa nɛ vevie abe ŋgɔgbevi si ku la ene.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Ierusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Gbe ma gbe la, avi aɖi hoo le Yerusalem abe ale si Hadad Rimon fa avi vevie le Megido ƒe balime ene.
12 And the land shall bewayle euery familie apart, the familie of the house of Dauid apart, and their wiues apart: the familie of the house of Nathan apart, and their wiues apart:
Anyigba la katã afa avi; to ɖe sia ɖe afa avi na eɖokui, eye wo srɔ̃wo anɔ wo gbɔ: to si tso David ƒe aƒe me kple wo srɔ̃wo, to si tso Natan ƒe aƒe me kple wo srɔ̃wo,
13 The familie of the house of Leui apart, and their wiues apart: the familie of Shemei apart, and their wiues apart:
to si tso Levi ƒe aƒe me kple wo srɔ̃wo, Simei ƒe to kple wo srɔ̃wo,
14 All the families that remaine, euery familie apart, and their wiues apart.
eye to mamlɛawo katã hã kple wo srɔ̃wo.”
