Zechariah 12
1 [the] oracle of [the] word of Yahweh on Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh [who] stretched out heaven and [who] founded earth and [who] formed [the] spirit of a human in inner being his.
Nkɔmhyɛ: Eyi ne Awurade asɛm a ɛfa Israel ho. Awurade a ɔtrɛw ɔsoro mu, nea ɔto asase fapem, nea ɔyɛ honhom a ɔte onipa mu asɛm ni:
2 Here! I [am] about to make Jerusalem a basin of reeling for all the peoples all around and also on Judah it will be in the siege on Jerusalem.
“Merebɛyɛ Yerusalem kuruwa a ɛbɛma aman a atwa ne ho ahyia no atɔ ntintan. Wɔbɛtow ahyɛ Yuda ne Yerusalem so.
3 And it will be on the day that I will make Jerusalem a stone of burden for all the peoples all [those who] carry it severely they will injure themselves and they will gather on it all [the] nations of the earth.
Saa da no a wiase aman nyinaa aboa wɔn ho ano retia no no, mɛma Yerusalem ayɛ ɔbotantim ama aman no nyinaa. Wɔn a wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wopirew no no nyinaa bepirapira wɔn ho.
4 On the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh I will strike every horse with bewilderment and rider its with madness and over [the] house of Judah I will open eyes my and every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness.
Saa da no, mɛma ɔpɔnkɔ biara abɔ huboa, na mɛma ne sotefo nso abɔ dam,” sɛnea Awurade se ni. “Mebue mʼani ahwɛ Yudafi, na mefurafura aman ahorow no apɔnkɔ ani.
5 And they will say [the] chiefs of Judah in heart their [are] strength of me [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem by Yahweh of hosts God their.
Na Yuda mmusua bɛka wɔ wɔn koma mu se, ‘Yerusalemfo yɛ ahoɔdenfo, efisɛ Asafo Awurade yɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn.’
6 On the day that I will make [the] chiefs of Judah like a pot of fire among wood and like a torch of fire among cut grain and they will consume on [the] right [side] and on [the] left [side] all the peoples all around and it will remain Jerusalem again in place its in Jerusalem.
“Saa da no, mɛyɛ Yuda mmusua sɛ ogya asanka a ɛhyɛ nnyina mu, te sɛ ogyatɛn a ɛredɛw wɔ nwura a wɔaboa ano mu. Wɔbɛhyew nnipa a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia nyinaa wɔ benkum ne nifa, nanso hwee renka Yerusalem wɔ faako a ɔwɔ.
7 And he will save Yahweh [the] tents of Judah at the first so that not it will be great [the] splendor of [the] house of David and [the] splendor of [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem above Judah.
“Awurade bɛbɔ Yuda atenae ho ban kan, sɛnea Dawidfi ne wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem anuonyam renkyɛn Yudafo anuonyam.
8 On the day that he will defend Yahweh for [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem and he will be the [one who] stumbles among them on the day that like David and [the] house of David [will be] like God like [the] angel of Yahweh before them.
Saa da no, Awurade bɛbɔ wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem ho ban, nea ɔyɛ mmerɛw koraa wɔ wɔn mu no bɛyɛ sɛ Dawid. Na Dawid asefo bɛyɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn, te sɛ Awurade Bɔfo a odi wɔn anim.
9 And it will be on the day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that are coming on Jerusalem.
Saa da no, mefi ase asɛe aman a wɔko tia Yerusalem nyinaa.
10 And I will pour out on [the] house of David and on - [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem a spirit of favor and supplications and they will look to me [the one] whom they have pierced through and they will mourn on him like mourning on only [son] and they will show bitterness on him as shows bitterness on firstborn.
“Mehwie adom ne nkotosrɛ honhom agu Dawidfi ne wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem so. Wɔbɛhwɛ me a wɔahwirew me, na wɔatwa adwo ama no te sɛ obi a ɔretwa adwo wɔ ɔba koro ho, na wɔasu yayaayaw te sɛ obi a ɔresu ne ba barima piesie.
11 On the day that it will be great the mourning in Jerusalem like [the] mourning of Hadad-Rimmon in [the] plain of Megiddo.
Saa da no agyaadwotwa a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no ano bɛyɛ den te sɛ Hadad-Rimon agyaadwotwa wɔ Megido asasetam so.
12 And it will mourn the land clans clans alone [the] clan of [the] house of David alone and wives their alone [the] clan of [the] house of Nathan alone and wives their alone.
Asase no sofo nyinaa bedi awerɛhow, abusua biara ne wɔn yerenom; Dawid abusua ne wɔn yerenom, Natan abusua ne wɔn yerenom,
13 [the] clan of [the] house of Levi alone and wives their alone [the] clan of the Shimeite[s] alone and wives their alone.
Lewi abusua ne wɔn yerenom, Simei abusua ne wɔn yerenom,
14 All the clans which remain clans clans alone and wives their alone.
ne mmusua a aka no nyinaa ne wɔn yerenom.
