Zechariah 6
1 And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
Memaa mʼani so bio, na mihuu nteaseɛnam anan a efi mmepɔw abien ntam reba, mmepɔw no yɛ kɔbere mfrafrae.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Teaseɛnam a edi kan no, na apɔnkɔ kɔkɔɔ na wɔtwe, na apɔnkɔ tuntum nso twe nea ɛto so abien no.
3 and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled bay horses.
Nea ɛto so abiɛsa no, na apɔnkɔ fitaa na wɔtwe. Nea ɛto so anan no, na apɔnkɔ ntokontrama na wɔtwe, na apɔnkɔ no nyinaa ho yɛ den.
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are these, my lord?'
Mibisaa ɔbɔfo a na ɔne me rekasa no se, “Me wura, eyinom yɛ dɛn?”
5 And the angel answered and said unto me: 'These chariots go forth to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth.
Ɔbɔfo no buaa me se, “Eyinom yɛ ahonhom anan a wofi ɔsoro, na wɔrefi wiase nyinaa Awurade no anim akɔ.
6 That wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country;
Teaseɛnam a apɔnkɔ tuntum retwe no rekɔ ɔman a ɛwɔ atifi fam no so. Teaseɛnam a apɔnkɔ fitaa retwe no rekɔ atɔe fam; na nea apɔnkɔ ntokontrama twe no rekɔ anafo fam.”
7 and the bay went forth'. And they sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth; and he said: 'Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth.' So they walked to and fro through the earth.
Apɔnkɔ ahoɔdenfo no fii adi no, wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔkɔ asase nyinaa so. Na ɔbɔfo no kae se, “Monkɔ asase nyinaa so!” Enti wɔkɔɔ asase so mmaa nyinaa.
8 Then cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying: 'Behold, they that go toward the north country have eased My spirit in the north country.'
Afei ɔfrɛɛ me se, “Hwɛ, wɔn a wɔrekɔ atifi fam man so no ama me Honhom ahomegye wɔ atifi fam asase no so.”
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn. Ɔkae se,
10 'Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, that are come from Babylon; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
“Gye sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ fi wɔn a wɔatwa wɔn asu, Heldai, Tobia ne Yedaia a wofi Babilonia aba no nkyɛn. Da no ara kɔ Sefania babarima Yosia fi.
11 yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set the one upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
Gye dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ na fa yɛ ahenkyɛw, hyɛ ɔsɔfopanyin Yosua a ɔyɛ Yehosadak babarima no ti.
12 and speak unto him, saying: Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying: Behold, a man whose name is the Shoot, and who shall shoot up out of his place, and build the temple of the LORD;
Ka kyerɛ no se, sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: ‘Ɔbarima a wɔfrɛ no Dubaa no ni, na ɔbɛfefɛw afi hɔ akosi Awurade asɔredan no.
13 even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest before his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Ɔno na obesi Awurade asɔredan no, na wɔbɛhyɛ no anuonyam, na ɔbɛtena nʼahengua so adi ne hene, na ɔbɛyɛ ɔsɔfo wɔ nʼahengua so. Afei asomdwoe bɛba abien no ntam.’
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
Wɔde ahenkyɛw no bɛma Heldai, Tobia, Yedaia ne Sefania babarima Hen, na wɔde ayɛ nkae ade wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And it shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD your God —.'
Wɔn a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri no bɛba abɛboa Awurade asɔredan no si, na mubehu sɛ Asafo Awurade na wasoma me mo nkyɛn. Sɛ moyɛ osetie ma Awurade mo Nyankopɔn nokware mu a, eyi bɛba mu.”
