Zechariah 6
1 Againe, I turned and lift vp mine eyes, and looked: and beholde, there came foure charets out from betweene two mountaines, and the mountaines were mountaines of brasse.
Memaa mʼani so bio, na mehunuu nteaseɛnam ɛnan a ɛfiri mmepɔ mmienu ntam reba, mmepɔ no yɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ.
2 In the first charet were red horses, and in the second charet blacke horses,
Teaseɛnam a ɛdi ɛkan no, na apɔnkɔ kɔkɔɔ na ɛtwe, na apɔnkɔ tuntum nso twe deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no.
3 And in the thirde charet white horses, and in the fourth charet, horses of diuers colours, and reddish.
Deɛ ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no, na apɔnkɔ fitaa na ɛtwe. Deɛ ɛto so ɛnan no, na apɔnkɔ ntokontrama na ɛtwe, na apɔnkɔ no nyinaa ho yɛ den.
4 Then I answered, and saide vnto the Angell that talked with mee, What are these, my Lord?
Mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no sɛ, “Me wura, yeinom yɛ ɛdeɛn?”
5 And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto mee, These are the foure spirites of the heauen, which goe foorth from standing with the Lord of all the earth.
Ɔbɔfoɔ no buaa me sɛ, “Yeinom yɛ ahonhom ɛnan a wɔfiri soro, na wɔrefiri ewiase nyinaa Awurade no anim akɔ.
6 That with the blacke horse went forth into the land of the North, and the white went out after them, and they of diuers colours went forth toward the South countrey.
Teaseɛnam a apɔnkɔ tuntum retwe no rekɔ ɔman a ɛwɔ atifi fam no so. Teaseɛnam a apɔnkɔ fitaa retwe no rekɔ atɔeɛ fam; na deɛ apɔnkɔ ntokontrama twe no rekɔ anafoɔ fam.”
7 And the reddish went out, and required to go, and passe through the world, and he sayde, Goe passe through the worlde. So they went thorowout the world.
Apɔnkɔ ahoɔdenfoɔ no firii adi no, wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔkɔ asase nyinaa so. Na ɔbɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Monkɔ asase nyinaa so!” Enti wɔkɔɔ asase so mmaa nyinaa.
8 Then cryed hee vpon me, and spake vnto me, saying, Beholde, these that goe towarde the North countrey, haue pacified my spirit in the North countrey.
Afei, ɔfrɛɛ me sɛ, “Hwɛ, wɔn a wɔrekɔ atifi fam ɔman so no ama me Honhom ahomegyeɛ wɔ atifi fam asase no so.”
9 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn. Ɔkaa sɛ,
10 Take of them of ye captiuitie, euen of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and Iedaiah, which are come from Babel, and come thou the same day, and goe vnto the house of Ioshiah, the sonne of Zephaniah.
“Gye sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ firi atukɔfoɔ, Heldai, Tobia ne Yedaia a wɔfiri Babilonia aba no nkyɛn. Ɛda no ara kɔ Sefania babarima Yosia fie.
11 Take euen siluer, and golde, and make crownes, and set them vpon the head of Iehoshua, the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest,
Gye dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ na fa yɛ ahenkyɛ, hyɛ ɔsɔfopanin Yosua a ɔyɛ Yehosadak babarima no ti.
12 And speake vnto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, and sayth, Behold the man whose name is the Branch, and he shall growe vp out of his place, and he shall build the Temple of the Lord.
Ka kyerɛ no sɛ, sei na Asafo Awurade seɛ: ‘Ɔbarima a wɔfrɛ no Dubaa no nie, na ɔbɛfefɛ afiri hɔ akɔsi Awurade asɔredan no.
13 Euen hee shall build the Temple of the Lord, and he shall beare the glory, and shall sit and rule vpon his throne, and he shalbe a Priest vpon his throne, and the counsell of peace shall be betweene them both.
Ɔno na ɔbɛsi Awurade asɔredan no, na wɔbɛhyɛ no animuonyam, na ɔbɛtena nʼahennwa so adi ne ɔhene, na ɔbɛyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ wɔ nʼahennwa so. Afei asomdwoeɛ bɛba mmienu no ntam.’
14 And the crownes shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Iedaiah, and to Hen the sonne of Zephaniah, for a memoriall in the Temple of the Lord.
Wɔde ahenkyɛ no bɛma Heldai, Tobia, Yedaia ne Sefania babarima Hen, na wɔde ayɛ nkae adeɛ wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
15 And they that are farre off, shall come and build in the Temple of the Lord, and ye shall know, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you. And this shall come to passe, if ye will obey the voyce of the Lord your God.
Wɔn a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri no bɛba abɛboa Awurade asɔredan no si, na mobɛhunu sɛ Asafo Awurade na wasoma me mo nkyɛn. Sɛ moyɛ ɔsetie ma Awurade mo Onyankopɔn nokorɛ mu a, yei bɛba mu.”
