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.
They asked of Jehovah rain in a time of latter rain, Jehovah is making lightnings, And rain [in] showers He doth give to them. To each — the herb 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.
Because the teraphim did speak iniquity, And the diviners have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak, [With] vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed as a flock, They are afflicted, for 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.
Against the shepherds did Mine anger burn, And against the he-goats I lay a charge, For inspected hath Jehovah of Hosts His flock, the house of Judah, And set them as His beauteous horse in 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 [is] a corner-stone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goeth forth 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 have been as heroes, Treading in mire of out-places in battle, And they have fought, for Jehovah [is] with them, And have put to shame riders of horses.
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 have made mighty the house of Judah, And the house of Joseph I do save, And I have caused them to dwell, for I have loved them, And they have been as [if] I had not cast them off, For I [am] Jehovah their God, And I 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.
And Ephraim hath been as a hero, And rejoiced hath their heart as wine, And their sons see, and they have rejoiced, Rejoice doth their heart in Jehovah.
8 Meto nsa afrɛ wɔn aboaboa wɔn ano. Ampa ara megye wɔn bio; wɔbɛdɔɔso sɛ kane no.
I hist for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they did multiply.
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 sow them among peoples, And in far-off places they remember Me, And they have lived with their sons, And they have turned back.
10 Mede wɔn bɛfiri Misraim aba mɛboa wɔn ano afiri Asiria. Mede wɔn bɛba Gilead ne Lebanon, na wɔrensene hɔ.
And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And from Asshur I do gather them, And unto the land of Gilead and Lebanon I do bring them in, And there is not found for them [space].
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 hath passed over through the sea, And hath pressed and smitten billows in the sea, And dried up have been all depths of a flood, And brought down hath been the excellency of Asshur, And the rod of Egypt doth turn aside.
12 Mɛhyɛ wɔn den wɔ Awurade mu na ne din mu na wɔbɛnante,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
And I have made them mighty in Jehovah, And in His name they walk up and down, An affirmation of Jehovah!
