In the eiythe monethe, in the secounde yeer of Darius, the word of the Lord was maad to Sacarie, the sone of Barachie, the sone of Addo,
2 “Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe mia fofowo ŋu vevie,
profete, and seide, The Lord is wrooth on youre fadris with wrathfulnesse.
3 eya ta gblɔ na ameawo be ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi, ‘Mitrɔ ɖe ŋunye, ekema nye hã matrɔ ɖe mia ŋu!’
And thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis. Be ye conuertid to me, seith the Lord of oostis, and Y schal be conuertid to you, seith the Lord of oostis.
4 Miganɔ abe mia fofowo ene o, ame siwo nyagblɔɖila tsãtɔwo gblɔ na be ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Mitrɔ le miaƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi, eye miaɖe asi le miaƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔwo ŋuti.’ Gake wogbe toɖoɖom, eye wometsɔ ɖeke le eme nam o.
Be ye not as youre fadris, to whiche the formere profetis crieden, seiynge, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Be ye conuertid fro youre yuel weies, and youre worste thouytis; and thei herden not, nether token tent to me, seith the Lord of oostis.
5 Afi ka mia fofowo le fifia, eye ɖe nyagblɔɖilawo nɔa agbe tegbea?
Where ben youre fadris and profetis? whether thei schulen lyue with outen ende?
6 Ke ɖe nye nya kple ɖoɖo siwo mede asi na nye dɔla, nyagblɔɖilawo la meva mia fofowo dzi oa? “Le esia ta la, wotrɔ dzi me gblɔ be, ‘Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la wɔ na mí ɖe míaƒe mɔwo kple wɔnawo nu abe ale si wòɖoe be yeawɔ ene.’”
Netheles my wordis and my lawful thingis, whiche Y comaundide to my seruauntis profetis, whether thei tauyten not youre fadris? And thei weren conuertid, and seiden, As the Lord of oostys thouyte for to do to vs bi oure weies, and bi oure fyndingis he dide to vs.
7 Le ɣleti wuiɖekɛlia si nye Sebat ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-enelia dzi, le Fia Darius ƒe ƒe evelia me la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va na nyagblɔɖila Zekaria, Berekia ƒe vi kple Ido ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi.
In the foure and twentithe dai of the enleuenthe monethe Sabath, in the secounde yeer of Darius, the word of the Lord was maad to Sacarie, sone of Barachie, sone of Addo,
8 Mekpɔ ŋutega le zã me, eye le ŋutega la me la, mekpɔ ŋutsu aɖe wònɔ sɔ dzĩ aɖe dom. Sɔdola la tsi tsitre ɖe amitive aɖe me le bali aɖe me. Sɔ dzĩ, sɔ hẽ kple sɔ ɣi bubuwo nɔ emegbe.
profete, and seide, Y saiy bi niyt, and lo! a man stiynge on a reed hors; and he stood bitwixe places where mirtis wexen, that weren in the depthe, and aftir hym weren horsis reede, dyuerse, and white.
9 Mebia be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, nu kawoe nye esiawo?” Mawudɔla si nɔ nu ƒom kplim la ɖo eŋu nam be, “Mafia nu si wonye la wò.”
And Y seide, My lord, who ben these? And an aungel of the Lord seide to me, that spak in me, Y schal schewe to thee what these ben.
10 Tete ame si tsi tsitre ɖe amitiawo dome la ɖe eme nam be, “Woawoe nye ame siwo Yehowa dɔ be woatsa le anyigba blibo la dzi.”
And the man that stood bitwix places where mirtis wexen, answeride, and seide, These it ben, whiche the Lord sente, that thei walke thorouy erthe.
11 Wova gblɔ na Yehowa ƒe dɔla, ame si nɔ tsitre ɖe amitiawo dome la be, “Míetsa le anyigba blibo la dzi, eye dzidzedze kple ŋutifafa le afi sia afi.”
And thei answeriden to the aungel of the Lord, that stood bitwixe places where mirtis wexen, and seiden, We han walkid thorouy erthe, and lo! al erthe is enhabitid, and restith.
12 Esi Yehowa ƒe dɔla la se nya siawo la, edo gbe ɖa be, “O Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, ƒe blaadree nye esi, esi nètrɔ wò dɔmedzoe kɔ ɖe Yerusalem kple Yuda ƒe duwo dzi. Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nàgakpɔ nublanui na wo?”
And the aungel of the Lord answeride, and seide, Lord of oostis, hou long schalt thou not haue merci on Jerusalem, and citees of Juda, to whiche thou art wrooth? This now is the seuentithe yeer.
13 Yehowa ɖo eŋu na mawudɔla si le xanye la hegblɔ akɔfanyawo kple dzideƒonyawo nɛ.
And the Lord answeride to the aungel, that spak in me, goode wordis, and wordis of coumfort.
14 Tete mawudɔla si nɔ nu ƒom kplim la gblɔ be, “Ɖe gbeƒã nya sia: ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Meʋã ŋu ɖe Yerusalem kple Zion nu ŋutɔ,
And the aungel that spak in me, seide to me, Crie thou, seiynge, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Y louyde Jerusalem and Sion in greet feruour;
15 ke mekpɔ dɔmedzoe vevie ɖe dukɔ siwo susu be yewole dedie la ŋuti. Ke dɔmedzoe vi aɖe ko mekpɔ, gake woawoe he dzɔgbevɔ̃e la vɛ.’
and in greet wraththe Y schal be wroth on riche folkis; for Y was wrooth a litil, forsothe thei helpiden in to yuel.
16 “Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Matrɔ ɖe Yerusalem ŋu kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ. Le afi ma, woagbugbɔ nye xɔ la atu, eye woatsɔ nudzidzeka aɖo Yerusalem katã ŋuti.’ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Y schal turne ayen to Jerusalem in mercies. Myn hous schal be bildid in it, seith the Lord of oostis; and a plomet schal be streiyt out on Jerusalem.
17 “Yi edzi, nàɖe gbeƒã be ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi, ‘Nye duwo agagbagba kple dzidzedze, Yehowa agafa akɔ na Zion, eye wòagatia Yerusalem.’”
Yit crie thou, seiynge, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Yit my citees schulen flete with goodis, and yit the Lord schal coumforte Sion, and yit he schal chese Jerusalem.
18 Esi mefɔ kɔ dzi la, mekpɔ lãdzo ene le nye ŋkume.
And Y reiside myn iyen, and Y saiy, and lo! foure hornes.
19 Mebia mawudɔla la be “Nu kawoe nye esiawo?” Eɖo eŋu nam be, “Woawoe nye lãdzo siwo kaka Yuda, Israel kple Yerusalem.”
And Y seide to the aungel that spak in me, What ben these? And he seide to me, These ben hornes, that wyndewiden Juda, and Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 Yehowa gaɖe gbede ene fiam.
And the Lord schewide to me foure smythis.
21 Mebia be, “Nu ka wɔ ge wogbɔna?” Eɖo eŋu nam be, “Esiawoe nye lãdzo siwo kaka Yuda ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke mate ŋu afɔ ta dzi o. Ke gbedeawo va be woado ŋɔdzi na wo, eye woatsɔ dukɔwo ƒe lãdzo siawo aƒu ame siwo kɔ woƒe dzowo dzi ɖe Yudanyigba ŋu be yewoakaka eƒe amewo la anyi.”
And Y seide, What comen these for to do? Which spak, seiynge, These ben the hornes, that wyndewiden Juda bi alle men, and no man of hem reiside his heed; and these camen for to make hem aferd, that thei caste doun the hornes of hethene men, which reisiden horn on the lond of Juda, for to scatere it.
