< Zechariah 2 >

1 And Y reiside myn iyen, and siy, and lo! a man, and lo! in his hoond a litil coorde of meteris.
Afei memaa mʼani so, na mehunuu ɔbarima bi a ɔkura susuhoma sɛ ɔgyina mʼanim!
2 And Y seide, Whidir goist thou? And he seide to me, That Y mete Jerusalem, and Judee; hou myche is the breede therof, and hou myche is the lengthe therof.
Mebisaa no sɛ, “Ɛhe na worekɔ?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Merekɔsusu Yerusalem, ahunu ne tɛtrɛtɛ ne ne tentene.”
3 And lo! the aungel that spak in me, wente out, and another aungel wente out in to the metyng of hym, and seide to hym,
Na ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no kɔɔeɛ, na ɔbɔfoɔ foforɔ bɛhyiaa no
4 Renne thou, speke to this child, and seie thou, Jerusalem shal be enhabitid with out wal, for the multitude of men and of beestis in the myddil therof.
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 And Y schal be to it, seith the Lord, a wal of fier in cumpas; and Y schal be in glorie in myddil therof.
Na mʼankasa mɛyɛ ogya fasuo, atwa ho ahyia,’ sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, ‘na mayɛ ne mu animuonyam.’
6 A! A! A! fle ye fro the lond of the north, seith the Lord, for in foure wyndis of heuene Y scateride you, seith the 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 A! thou Sion, fle, that dwellist at the douyter of Babiloyne.
“Mommra, Ao Sion! Monnwane mo a mote Babilonia!”
8 For the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, After glorie he sente me to hethene men, whiche robbiden you; for he that schal touche you, schal touche the apple of myn iye.
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 lo! Y reise myn hond on hem, and thei schulen be preyes to these that seruyden hem; and ye schulen knowe, that the Lord of oostis sente 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 Douyter of Sion, herie thou, and be glad; for lo! Y come, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee, seith the Lord.
“Team na ma wʼani nnye, Ao, Ɔbabaa Sion. Ɛfiri sɛ, mereba, na mene mo bɛtena,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
11 And many folkis schulen be applied to the Lord in that dai, and thei schulen be to me in to puple, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee; and thou schalt wite, that the Lord of oostis sente me to 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 schal welde Juda in to his part, in the loud halewid, and schal cheese yit Jerusalem.
Awurade bɛfa Yuda sɛ nʼagyapadeɛ wɔ asase kronkron no so, na ɔbɛfa Yerusalem bio.
13 Ech fleisch be stil fro the face of the Lord, for he roos of his hooli dwelling place.
Monyɛ komm wɔ Awurade anim, adasamma nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ wakanyane ne ho wɔ nʼatenaeɛ kronkron hɔ.”
