Sakaria 12
1 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:
The burden of the worde of the Lord vpon Israel, sayth the Lord, which spred the heauens, and layed the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirite of man within him.
2 “Merebɛyɛ Yerusalem kuruwa a ɛbɛma aman a atwa ne ho ahyia no atɔ ntintan. Wɔbɛtow ahyɛ Yuda ne Yerusalem so.
Beholde, I will make Ierusalem a cuppe of poyson vnto all the people round about: and also with Iudah will he be, in ye siege against Ierusalem.
3 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.
And in that day will I make Ierusalem an heauie stone for all people: all that lift it vp, shall be torne, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 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.
In that day, sayeth the Lord, I will smite euery horse with astonishment, and his rider with madnesse, and I will open mine eyes vpon the house of Iudah, and will smite euery horse of the people with blindnesse.
5 Na Yuda mmusua bɛka wɔ wɔn koma mu se, ‘Yerusalemfo yɛ ahoɔdenfo, efisɛ Asafo Awurade yɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn.’
And the princes of Iudah shall say in their hearts, The inhabitants of Ierusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hostes their God.
6 “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.
In that day will I make the princes of Iudah like coles of fire among the wood, and like a fire brand in the sheafe, and they shall deuoure all the people round about on the right hand, and on the left: and Ierusalem shall be inhabited againe in her owne place, euen in Ierusalem.
7 “Awurade bɛbɔ Yuda atenae ho ban kan, sɛnea Dawidfi ne wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem anuonyam renkyɛn Yudafo anuonyam.
The Lord also shall preserue the tents of Iudah, as afore time: therefore the glorie of the house of Dauid shall not boast, nor the glorie of the inhabitants of Ierusalem against Iudah.
8 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.
In that day shall the Lord defende the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and he that is feeble among them, in that day shall be as Dauid: and the house of Dauid shall be as Gods house, and as the Angel of the Lord before them.
9 Saa da no, mefi ase asɛe aman a wɔko tia Yerusalem nyinaa.
And in that day will I seeke to destroy all the nations that come against Ierusalem.
10 “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.
And I will powre vpon the house of Dauid, and vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem the Spirite of grace and of compassion, and they shall looke vpon me, whom they haue pearced, and they shall lament for him, as one mourneth for his onely sonne, and be sorie for him as one is sorie for his first borne.
11 Saa da no agyaadwotwa a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no ano bɛyɛ den te sɛ Hadad-Rimon agyaadwotwa wɔ Megido asasetam so.
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Ierusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 Asase no sofo nyinaa bedi awerɛhow, abusua biara ne wɔn yerenom; Dawid abusua ne wɔn yerenom, Natan abusua ne wɔn yerenom,
And the land shall bewayle euery familie apart, the familie of the house of Dauid apart, and their wiues apart: the familie of the house of Nathan apart, and their wiues apart:
13 Lewi abusua ne wɔn yerenom, Simei abusua ne wɔn yerenom,
The familie of the house of Leui apart, and their wiues apart: the familie of Shemei apart, and their wiues apart:
14 ne mmusua a aka no nyinaa ne wɔn yerenom.
All the families that remaine, euery familie apart, and their wiues apart.
