< Sakaria 14 >
1 Awurade da bi reba a, wɔbɛkyɛ mo asade wɔ mo mu.
Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, When thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 Mɛboaboa aman no nyinaa ano abɛko atia Yerusalem; wɔbɛko afa kuropɔn no, wobewia afi mu nneɛma, na wɔato mmea no mmonnaa. Wɔbɛfa kuropɔn no mu nnipa no mu fa akɔ nnommum mu, nanso nkae no bɛka kuropɔn no mu.
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; And the city shall be taken, And the houses shall be rifled, And the women shall be ravished; And half of the city shall go forth into captivity, And the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Afei, Awurade bɛkɔ akɔko atia saa aman no, sɛnea ɔko, ɔkoda no.
Then shall Jehovah go forth, And fight against those nations, As he once fought in the day of battle.
4 Saa da no, ɔde nʼanammɔn besisi Ngo Bepɔw a ɛwɔ Yerusalem apuei fam no so, na Ngo Bepɔw no mu bɛpae abien afi apuei fam akosi atɔe fam na ayɛ obon kɛse. Ɛbɛma bepɔw no fa akɔ atifi fam, na fa nso akɔ anafo fam.
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, Which is before Jerusalem on the east; And the Mount of Olives shall be cloven in the middle of it, eastward and westward, Into a very great valley; And half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, And half of it toward the south.
5 Mubeguan afa me bon no mu, efisɛ ekosi Asel. Mubeguan, sɛnea moyɛɛ no bere a asase wosow wɔ Yudahene Usia bere so no. Afei, Awurade, me Nyankopɔn, bɛba a ahotefo nyinaa ka ne ho.
And ye shall flee through the valley of my mountains, For the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal; Yea, ye shall flee, as ye fled before the earthquake In the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Jehovah, my God, will come, And all his holy ones with him.
6 Saa da no, hann, awɔw ne sukyerɛmma remma.
And it shall come to pass in that day That there shall he no light, but cold and ice;
7 Ɛbɛyɛ da sononko a enni awia anaa anadwo, da a Awurade na onim. Onwini bedwo no na hann wɔ hɔ.
And there shall be one day, (Known to Jehovah is it, ) It shall be neither day nor night; But at the time of evening there shall be light.
8 Saa da no, nkwa nsu bɛteɛ afi Yerusalem, fa bɛkɔ apuei po mu, na fa akɔ atɔe po mu, ahohurubere ne awɔwbere mu.
And it shall come to pass in that day That living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea, And half of them toward the western sea; In summer and in winter shall they be.
9 Awurade bedi hene wɔ asase nyinaa so. Saa da no, Awurade bɛyɛ baako na ne din nso ayɛ baako pɛ.
And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth; In that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one.
10 Asase a efi Geba kosi Rimon a ɛda Yerusalem anafo fam nyinaa bɛyɛ sɛ Araba. Nanso wɔbɛma Yerusalem so; efi Benyamin Pon kosi Ɔpon A Edi Kan de kɔ Ntwea so Pon, afei efi Hananel Abantenten kosi adehye nsakyiamoa nyinaa, na ɛbɛtena ne sibea.
The whole land shall be turned into a plain, From Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem; And the city shall be exalted and inhabited in her place, From the gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, And to the corner gate, And from the tower of Hananeel to the king's wine-presses.
11 Nnipa bɛtena mu, na wɔrensɛe no bio. Yerusalem benya asomdwoe.
Men shall dwell therein, And there shall be no more destruction; But Jerusalem shall dwell securely.
12 Eyi ne ɔyaredɔm a Awurade de bɛbɔ aman a wɔko tiaa Yerusalem no. Wɔn honam bɛporɔw bere a wogyina wɔn anan so, Wɔn aniwa nkesua bɛporɔw wɔ wɔn ntokuru mu, na wɔn tɛkrɛma bɛporɔw wɔ wɔn anom.
And this shall be the plague With which Jehovah will smite all the nations Which warred against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, And their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, And their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 Saa da no, Awurade bɛma nnipa abɔ huboa, na wobetwa wɔn ho ako.
And it shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a great tumult among them from Jehovah; And they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, And his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14 Yuda nso bɛko wɔ Yerusalem. Wɔbɛfa aman a atwa ahyia hɔ no nyinaa ahonyade a ɛyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne adurade bebree.
And Judah also shall fight against Jerusalem; But the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together, Gold and silver and apparel in great abundance.
15 Saa ɔyaredɔm koro yi ara bɛka apɔnkɔ, mfurumpɔnkɔ, yoma, mfurum ne mmoa a aka a wɔwɔ atamfo nsra mu nyinaa.
And so shall be the plague of the horse, Of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, And of every beast which shall be in those camps, Even as this plague.
16 Afei wɔn a wɔbɛka wɔ aman a wɔko tiaa Yerusalem no nyinaa bɛkɔ akɔsom Ɔhene no, Asafo Awurade no afe biara, na wɔadi Asese Afahyɛ no.
And it shall be, that every one that is left Of all the nations which come against Jerusalem, Even they shall go up, from year to year, To worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, And to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 Sɛ wiase mu nnipa bi ankɔ Yerusalem ankɔsom Ɔhene no, Asafo Awurade no a, osu rentɔ mma wɔn.
And it shall be that whoso will not go up, Of the families of the earth, to Jerusalem, To worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, Upon them shall be no rain.
18 Sɛ Misraimfo ankɔ hɔ ankɔhyɛ fa no bi a, osu rentɔ mma wɔn. Awurade de ɔyaredɔm a ɔma ɛba aman a wɔnnkɔ Asese Afahyɛ no so no bɛbɔ wɔn.
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, Then not for them shall there be water. The plague shall come upon them With which Jehovah shall smite the nations Which go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 Eyi bɛyɛ asotwe ama Misraim ne aman a wɔnnkɔ Asese Afahyɛ no nyinaa.
This shall be the punishment of Egypt, And the punishment of all the nations That come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 Saa da no, wobekurukyerɛw asɛm a ɛka se: KRONKRON MA Awurade wɔ nnɔnnɔmma a ɛsensɛn apɔnkɔ kɔn mu ho, na nkuku a wɔde noa aduan wɔ Awurade fi no bɛyɛ sɛ nkuruwa kronkron a esisi afɔremuka anim.
In that day, upon the bells of the horses Shall be written, “Holy to Jehovah.” And the pots in the house of Jehovah Shall be as the bowls before the altar.
21 Kuku biara a ɛwɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda bɛyɛ nea wɔatew ho ama Asafo Awurade, na wɔn a wɔba bɛbɔ afɔre nyinaa bɛfa nkuku yi bi anoa mu. Na saa da no, wɔrenhu Kanaanni wɔ Asafo Awurade fi bio.
And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah Shall be holy to Jehovah of hosts; And all that sacrifice shall come, And shall take of them, and seethe therein. And there shall be no more a trader In the house of Jehovah of hosts, in that day.
