Sakaria 10
1 Mommisa Awurade hɔ nsuo osutɔberɛ mu; ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔyɛ osutɔ mframa. Ɔma osuo tɔ ma nnipa nyinaa, ne mfudeɛ nso ma obiara.
Ask the LORD for rain in springtime; the LORD makes the storm clouds, and He will give everyone showers of rain and crops in the field.
2 Ahoni no ka nnaadaasɛm, nkɔmhyɛfoɔ nya anisoadehunu a ɛyɛ atorɔ; wɔde nkontomposɛm kyerɛ daeɛ ase, wɔma awerɛkyekyerɛ kwa. Enti nnipa no nenam te sɛ nnwan a wɔnni ɔhwɛfoɔ na wɔhyɛ wɔn so.
For idols speak deceit and diviners see illusions; they tell false dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore the people wander like sheep, oppressed for lack of a shepherd.
3 “Mebo afu nnwanhwɛfoɔ no yie, na mɛtwe ntuanofoɔ no aso. Na Asafo Awurade bɛhwɛ ne nnwankuo a wɔyɛ Yuda fie no, na wayɛ wɔn sɛ animuonyam pɔnkɔ wɔ ɔsa mu.
“My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders. For the LORD of Hosts attends to His flock, the house of Judah; He will make them like His royal steed in battle.
4 Tweatiboɔ bɛfiri Yuda mu, na ntomadan pɛɛwa bɛfiri hɔ, ɔsa mu tadua bɛfiri Yuda mu, na sodifoɔ nyinaa nso saa ara.
The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.
5 Wɔbɛbɔ mu ayɛ sɛ nnɔmmarima a wɔtiatia mmorɔno so atakyɛ mu wɔ ɔko mu. Esiane sɛ Awurade ka wɔn ho no enti, wɔbɛko na wɔadi apɔnkɔsotefoɔ no so.
They will be like mighty men in battle, trampling the enemy in the mire of the streets. They will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put the horsemen to shame.
6 “Mɛhyɛ Yuda fie den na magye Yosef fie no nkwa. Mede wɔn bɛsi wɔn dada mu ɛfiri sɛ me yam hyehye me wɔ wɔn ho. Wɔbɛyɛ te sɛ deɛ mempoo wɔn mpo, na me ne Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn na mɛgye wɔn so.
I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had not rejected them. For I am the LORD their God, and I will answer them.
7 Efraimfoɔ bɛyɛ sɛ nnɔmmarima, wɔn ani bɛgye te sɛ deɛ wɔanom nsã. Wɔn mma bɛhunu na wɔn ani bɛgye; wɔbɛdi ahurisi wɔ wɔn akoma mu wɔ Awurade mu.
Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their hearts will be glad as with wine. Their children will see it and be joyful; their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.
8 Meto nsa afrɛ wɔn aboaboa wɔn ano. Ampa ara megye wɔn bio; wɔbɛdɔɔso sɛ kane no.
I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.
9 Ɛwom sɛ mɛhwete wɔn mu akɔ aman so, nanso wɔbɛkae me wɔ akyirikyiri nsase so. Wɔne wɔn mma bɛtena nkwa mu, na wɔbɛsane aba.
Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.
10 Mede wɔn bɛfiri Misraim aba mɛboa wɔn ano afiri Asiria. Mede wɔn bɛba Gilead ne Lebanon, na wɔrensene hɔ.
I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon until no more room is found for them.
11 Wɔbɛfa ɛpo mu ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ mu, nanso wɔbɛma ɛpo asorɔkye no atae dinn. Nil mu nsuo nyinaa bɛwe Asiria ahomasoɔ nso wɔbɛbrɛ no ase na Misraim ahempoma bɛtwam.
They will pass through the sea of distress and strike the waves of the sea; all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
12 Mɛhyɛ wɔn den wɔ Awurade mu na ne din mu na wɔbɛnante,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,”
