< Zacharias 10 >
1 Ask you of the Lord rain in season, the early and the latter: the Lord has given bright signs, and will give them abundant rain, to every one grass in the field.
Mommisa Awurade hɔ nsuo osutɔberɛ mu; ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔyɛ osutɔ mframa. Ɔma osuo tɔ ma nnipa nyinaa, ne mfudeɛ nso ma obiara.
2 For the speakers have uttered grievous things, and the diviners [have ] [seen] false visions, and they have spoken false dreams, they have given vain comfort: therefore have they fallen away like sheep, and been afflicted, because there was no healing.
Ahoni no ka nnaadaasɛm, nkɔmhyɛfoɔ nya anisoadehunu a ɛyɛ atorɔ; wɔde nkontomposɛm kyerɛ daeɛ ase, wɔma awerɛkyekyerɛ kwa. Enti nnipa no nenam te sɛ nnwan a wɔnni ɔhwɛfoɔ na wɔhyɛ wɔn so.
3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit the lambs; and the Lord God Almighty shall visit his flock, the house of Juda, and he shall make them as his goodly horse in war.
“Mebo afu nnwanhwɛfoɔ no yie, na mɛtwe ntuanofoɔ no aso. Na Asafo Awurade bɛhwɛ ne nnwankuo a wɔyɛ Yuda fie no, na wayɛ wɔn sɛ animuonyam pɔnkɔ wɔ ɔsa mu.
4 And from him he looked, and from him he set [the battle in order], and from him [came] the bow in anger, [and] from him shall come forth every oppressor together.
Tweatiboɔ bɛfiri Yuda mu, na ntomadan pɛɛwa bɛfiri hɔ, ɔsa mu tadua bɛfiri Yuda mu, na sodifoɔ nyinaa nso saa ara.
5 And they shall be as warriors treading clay in the ways in war; and they shall set the battle in array, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.
Wɔbɛbɔ mu ayɛ sɛ nnɔmmarima a wɔtiatia mmorɔno so atakyɛ mu wɔ ɔko mu. Esiane sɛ Awurade ka wɔn ho no enti, wɔbɛko na wɔadi apɔnkɔsotefoɔ no so.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph, and I will settle them; because I have loved them: and they shall be as [if] I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.
“Mɛhyɛ Yuda fie den na magye Yosef fie no nkwa. Mede wɔn bɛsi wɔn dada mu ɛfiri sɛ me yam hyehye me wɔ wɔn ho. Wɔbɛyɛ te sɛ deɛ mempoo wɔn mpo, na me ne Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn na mɛgye wɔn so.
7 And they shall be as the warriors of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as with wine: and their children also shall see [it], and be glad; and their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
Efraimfoɔ bɛyɛ sɛ nnɔmmarima, wɔn ani bɛgye te sɛ deɛ wɔanom nsã. Wɔn mma bɛhunu na wɔn ani bɛgye; wɔbɛdi ahurisi wɔ wɔn akoma mu wɔ Awurade mu.
8 I will make a sign to them, and gather them in; for I will redeem them, and they shall be multiplied according to their number before.
Meto nsa afrɛ wɔn aboaboa wɔn ano. Ampa ara megye wɔn bio; wɔbɛdɔɔso sɛ kane no.
9 And I will sow them among the people; and they that are afar off shall remember me: they shall nourish their children, and they shall return.
Ɛwom sɛ mɛhwete wɔn mu akɔ aman so, nanso wɔbɛkae me wɔ akyirikyiri nsase so. Wɔne wɔn mma bɛtena nkwa mu, na wɔbɛsane aba.
10 And I will bring them again from the land of Egypt, and I will gather them in from among the Assyrians; and I will bring them into the land of Galaad and to Libanus; and there shall not even one of them be left behind.
Mede wɔn bɛfiri Misraim aba mɛboa wɔn ano afiri Asiria. Mede wɔn bɛba Gilead ne Lebanon, na wɔrensene hɔ.
11 And they shall pass through a narrow sea, they shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the deep places of the rivers shall be dried up: and all the pride of the Assyrians shall be taken away, and the sceptre of Egypt shall be removed.
Wɔbɛfa ɛpo mu ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ mu, nanso wɔbɛma ɛpo asorɔkye no atae dinn. Nil mu nsuo nyinaa bɛwe Asiria ahomasoɔ nso wɔbɛbrɛ no ase na Misraim ahempoma bɛtwam.
12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord their God; and they shall boast in his name, says the Lord.
Mɛhyɛ wɔn den wɔ Awurade mu na ne din mu na wɔbɛnante,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
