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 ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain, [even of] the LORD that maketh lightnings; and he shall give them showers of rain, to every one grass 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 the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams, they comfort in vain: therefore they go their way like sheep, they are afflicted, because there is no 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.
Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and shall make them as his goodly horse in the battle.
4 Tweatiboɔ bɛfiri Yuda mu, na ntomadan pɛɛwa bɛfiri hɔ, ɔsa mu tadua bɛfiri Yuda mu, na sodifoɔ nyinaa nso saa ara.
From him shall come forth the corner stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor 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.
And they shall be as mighty men, treading down [their enemies] in the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them: and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
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.
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again, for I have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear 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.
And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and rejoice; their heart shall be glad in the LORD.
8 Meto nsa afrɛ wɔn aboaboa wɔn ano. Ampa ara megye wɔn bio; wɔbɛdɔɔso sɛ kane no.
I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
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.
And I will sow them among the peoples; and they shall remember me in far countries: and they shall live with their children, and shall 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 again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be 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.
And he shall pass through the sea of affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
12 Mɛhyɛ wɔn den wɔ Awurade mu na ne din mu na wɔbɛnante,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
