Zechariah 2

1 I lift vp mine eyes againe and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

Afei memaa mʼani so, na mehunuu ɔbarima bi a ɔkura susuhoma sɛ ɔgyina mʼanim!

2 Then saide I, Whither goest thou? And he saide vnto me, To measure Ierusalem, that I may see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

Mebisaa no sɛ, “Ɛhe na worekɔ?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Merekɔsusu Yerusalem, ahunu ne tɛtrɛtɛ ne ne tentene.”

3 And beholde, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth: and another Angel went out to meete him,

Na ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no kɔɔeɛ, na ɔbɔfoɔ foforɔ bɛhyiaa no

4 And saide vnto him, Runne, speake to this yong man, and say, Ierusalem shalbe inhabited without walles, for the multitude of men and cattell therein.

na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Tu mmirika, ka kyerɛ saa aberanteɛ no sɛ, ‘Yerusalem bɛyɛ kuropɔn a ɛnni afasuo ɛsiane nnipa ne mmoa dodoɔ a wɔwɔ mu enti.

5 For I, saith the Lord, will be vnto her a wall of fire round about, and wil be the glory in the middes of her.

Na mʼankasa mɛyɛ ogya fasuo, atwa ho ahyia,’ sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, ‘na mayɛ ne mu animuonyam.’

6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue scattered you into the foure winds of the heauen, saith ye Lord.

“Mommra! Mommra! Monnwane mfiri atifi asase no so,” sɛ Awurade seɛ nie, “Na mahwete mo mu ama ɔsoro mframa ɛnan no,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.

7 Saue thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.

“Mommra, Ao Sion! Monnwane mo a mote Babilonia!”

8 For thus saith the Lord of hostes, After this glory hath hee sent me vnto the nations, which spoyled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

Ɛfiri sɛ sei na Asafo Awurade seɛ, “Onimuonyamfoɔ no asoma me akɔtia aman a wɔafo wo nneɛma no. Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ɔde ne nsa bɛka wo biara no de nsa aka AWURADE aniwa kosua.

9 For beholde, I will lift vp mine hand vpon them: and they shalbe a spoyle to those that serued them, and ye shall knowe, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me.

Nokorɛm mɛma me nsa so de atia wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn nkoa bɛfom wɔn nneɛma. Na ɛbɛma woahunu sɛ Asafo Awurade na wasoma me.

10 Reioyce, and be glad, O daughter Zion: for loe, I come, and will dwell in the middes of thee, saith the Lord.

“Team na ma wʼani nnye, Ao, Ɔbabaa Sion. Ɛfiri sɛ, mereba, na mene mo bɛtena,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.

11 And many nations shall be ioyned to the Lord in that day, and shalbe my people: and I will dwell in the middes of thee, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto thee.

“Aman bebree bɛka Awurade ho saa ɛda no na wɔabɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ. Me ne mo bɛtena, na mobɛhunu sɛ, Asafo Awurade na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.

12 And the Lord shall inherite Iudah his portion in the holy lande, and shall chuse Ierusalem againe.

Awurade bɛfa Yuda sɛ nʼagyapadeɛ wɔ asase kronkron no so, na ɔbɛfa Yerusalem bio.

13 Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy place.

Monyɛ komm wɔ Awurade anim, adasamma nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ wakanyane ne ho wɔ nʼatenaeɛ kronkron hɔ.”
