Sakaria 9
1 Nkɔmhyɛ: Awurade asɛm tia Hadrak asase na ɛbɛka Damasko efisɛ, nnipa ne Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa ani wɔ Awurade so.
The birthun of the word of the Lord, in the lond of Adrach, and of Damask, the reste therof; for `of the Lord is the iye of man, and of alle lynagis of Israel.
2 Na ɛbɛka Hamat a ɔne no bɔ hye, ɛbɛka Tiro ne Sidon, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafo.
And Emath in termes therof, and Tirus, and Sidon; for thei token to hem wisdom greetli.
3 Tiro asi abandennen ama ne ho; waboa dwetɛ ano te sɛ mfutuma, ne sikakɔkɔɔ ano te sɛ dɔte a ɛwɔ mmɔnten so.
And Tirus bildide his strengthing, and gaderide siluer as erthe, and gold as fen of stretis.
4 Nanso Awurade begye nʼahode nyinaa na wasɛe ne tumi a ɔwɔ wɔ po so, na wɔde ogya bɛhyew no dwerɛbee.
Lo! the Lord schal welde it, and schal smyte in the see the strengthe therof, and it schal be deuourid bi fier.
5 Askelon behu na wasuro Gasa de ɔyaw bebubu ne mu, na Ekron nso saa ara, efisɛ nʼanidaso bɛsa. Gasa bɛhwere ne hene na wobegyaw Askelon ofituw.
Ascalon schal see, and schal drede; and Gasa, `and schal sorewe ful myche; and Accaron, for the hope therof is confoundid; and the kyng schal perische fro Gasa, and Ascalon schal not be enhabited;
6 Ananafo bɛtena Asdod, na metwa Filistifo ahantan agu.
and a departere schal sitte in Asotus, and Y schal distrie the pride of Filisteis.
7 Meyi mogya afi wɔn ano, akyiwade nnuan nso meyi afi wɔn ano. Nkae no bɛyɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn de; wɔbɛyɛ Yuda ntuanofo, na Ekron bɛyɛ sɛ Yebusifo.
And Y schal take awei the blood therof fro the mouth of him, and abhomynaciouns of hym fro the myddil of teeth of hym, and he also schal be left to our God; and he schal be as a duyk in Juda, and Accaron as Jebusei.
8 Nanso mɛbɔ me Fi ho ban wɔ wɔn a wɔtetɛw bɔ korɔn ho. Ɔhyɛsoni biara ntumi mfa me nkurɔfo so bio, efisɛ afei merewɛn.
And Y schal cumpasse myn hous of these that holden kniythod to me, and goen, and turnen ayen; and `an vniust axere schal no more passe on hem, for now Y siy with myn iyen.
9 Di ahurusi, Ɔbabea Sion! Teɛ mu, Ɔbabea Yerusalem! Hwɛ, wo hene reba wo nkyɛn. Ɔteɛ na ɔwɔ nkwagye, odwo, na ɔte afurum so, afurum ba so na ɔte.
Thou douyter of Sion, make ioie withoutforth ynow, synge, thou douyter of Jerusalem; lo! thi kyng schal come to thee, he iust, and sauyour; he pore, and stiynge on a sche asse, and on a fole, sone of a sche asse.
10 Megye nteaseɛnam afi Efraim ne akofo apɔnkɔ afi Yerusalem, na akodi tadua no wobebubu mu. Ɔbɛpae mu aka asomdwoe nsɛm akyerɛ aman no. Nʼahenni befi po akɔka po; ebefi Asubɔnten no akɔpem nsase ano.
And Y schal leese foure horsid carte of Effraym, and an hors of Jerusalem, and the bouwe of batel schal be distried; and he schal speke pees to hethene men, and the power of him schal be fro see til to see, and fro floodis til to the endis of erthe.
11 Na wo de, esiane me ne wo mogya apam no nti, meyi wo nneduafo afi amoa a nsu nni mu mu.
And thou in blood of thi testament sentist out thi boundun men fro lake, in which is not water.
12 Monsan nkɔ mʼaban mu, nneduafo a mowɔ anidaso; mprempren mpo merebɔ mo nkae sɛ mɛhyɛ mo anan mu mmɔho.
Ye boundun of hope, be conuertid to strengthing; and to dai Y schewynge schal yelde to thee double thingis,
13 Mɛkom Yuda sɛnea mikuntun me tadua na mede Efraim bɛhyɛ mu. Mɛkanyan wo mmabarima, Sion, atia wo Hela mmabarima, na mɛyɛ wo sɛ ɔkofo afoa.
for Y schal stretche forthe to me Juda as a bowe, Y fillide `the lond of Effraym. And Y schal reise thi sones, thou Sion, on thi sones, thou lond of Grekis, and Y schal sette thee as the swerd of stronge men.
14 Afei Awurade bɛda ne ho adi wɔ wɔn so; nʼagyan betwa yerɛw te sɛ anyinam. Otumfo Awurade bɛhyɛn torobɛnto no; ɔbɛbɔ nsra wɔ atɔe fam ahum mu,
And the Lord God schal be seyn on hem, and the dart of him schal go out as leit.
15 Asafo Awurade bɛkata wɔn so. Wɔde ahwimmo bɛsɛe na wɔde adi nkonim. Wɔbɛnom na wɔabobɔ mu sɛnea wɔanom nsa; wɔbɛyɛ ma te sɛ kuruwa a wɔde pete afɔremuka ntwea so.
And the Lord God schal synge in a trumpe, and schal go in whirlwynd of the south; the Lord of oostis schal defende hem, and thei schulen deuoure, and make suget with stoonys of a slynge; and thei drynkynge schulen be fillid as with wyn, and schulen be fillid as viols, and as hornes of the auter.
16 Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn, begye wɔn saa da no sɛ oguanhwɛfo gye ne nguan. Wobetwa yerɛw yerɛw wɔ nʼasase so, sɛ abohemaa a ɛbobɔ ahenkyɛw ho.
And the Lord God `of hem schal saue hem in that dai, as a floc of his puple, for hooli stoonus schulen be reisid on the lond of hym.
17 Sɛnea wɔn ho betwa na wɔn ho ayɛ fɛ afa! Aduan bɛma mmerante anyin ahoɔden so na nsa foforo bɛma mmabaa anyin saa ara.
For what is the good of hym, and what is the faire of hym, no but whete of chosun men, and wyn buriownynge virgyns?
