Sakaria 14

1 Awurade ɛda bi reba a, wɔbɛkyɛ mo afodeɛ wɔ mo mu.

Behold, the days of the Lord will arrive, and your spoils will be divided in your midst.

2 Mɛboaboa aman no nyinaa ano abɛko atia Yerusalem; wɔbɛko afa kuropɔn no, wɔbɛwia afie mu nneɛma, na wɔato mmaa no monnaa. Wɔbɛfa kuropɔn no mu nnipa no mu fa akɔ nnommum mu, nanso nkaeɛfoɔ no bɛka kuropɔn no mu.

And I will gather all the Gentiles in battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be captured, and the houses will be ravaged, and the women will be violated. And the central part of the city will go forth into captivity, and the remainder of the people will not be taken away from the city.

3 Afei, Awurade bɛkɔ akɔko atia saa aman no, sɛdeɛ ɔko ɔko da no.

Then the Lord will go forth, and he will fight against those Gentiles, just as when he fought in the day of conflict.

4 Saa ɛda no, ɔde nʼanammɔn bɛsisi Ngo Bepɔ a ɛwɔ Yerusalem apueeɛ fam no so, na Ngo Bepɔ no mu bɛpae mmienu afiri apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam na ayɛ bɔnhwa kɛseɛ. Ɛbɛma bepɔ no fa akɔ atifi fam, na ɛfa nso akɔ anafoɔ fam.

And his feet will stand firm, in that day, upon the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem towards the East. And the mount of Olives will be divided down its center part, towards the East and towards the West, with a very great rupture, and the center of the mountain will be separated towards the North, and its center towards the Meridian.

5 Mobɛdwane afa me bɔnhwa no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛkɔsi Asel. Mobɛdwane, sɛdeɛ moyɛɛ no ɛberɛ a asase wosooɛ wɔ Yudahene Usia berɛ so no. Afei, Awurade, me Onyankopɔn bɛba a ahotefoɔ nyinaa ka ne ho.

And you will flee to the valley of those mountains, because the valley of the mountains will be joined all the way to the next. And you will flee, just as you fled from the face of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And the Lord my God will arrive, and all the saints with him.

6 Saa ɛda no, hann, awɔ ne nsukyeneeɛ remma.

And this shall be in that day: there will not be light, only cold and frost.

7 Ɛbɛyɛ ɛda soronko a ɛnni awiaberɛ anaa anadwo, ɛda a Awurade na ɔnim. Onwunu bɛdwoɔ no na hann wɔ hɔ.

And there will be one day, which is known to the Lord, not day and not night. And in the time of the evening, there will be light.

8 Saa ɛda no, nkwa nsuo bɛtene afiri Yerusalem. Ɛfa bɛkɔ apueeɛ ɛpo mu, na ɛfa akɔ atɔeɛ ɛpo mu, ahuhuro ne awɔ berɛ mu.

And this shall be in that day: the living waters will go out from Jerusalem, half of them towards the East sea, and half of them towards the furthest sea. They will be in summer and in winter.

9 Awurade bɛdi ɔhene wɔ asase nyinaa so. Saa ɛda no, Awurade bɛyɛ baako na ne din nso ayɛ baako pɛ.

And the Lord will be King over all the earth. In that day, there will be one Lord, and his name will be one.

10 Asase a ɛfiri Geba kɔsi Rimon a ɛda Yerusalem anafoɔ fam nyinaa bɛyɛ asase tamaa sɛ Araba. Nanso, wɔbɛma Yerusalem so ama nnipa atena hɔ afiri Benyamin Ɛpono akɔsi Ɛpono A Ɛdi Ɛkan, de akɔsi Ntweasoɔ Ɛpono ne Hananel Abantenten de akɔsi ɔhene no nsakyimena no ho.

And all the land will return even to the desert, from the hill of Rimmon to the South of Jerusalem. And she will be exalted, and she will dwell in her own place, from the gate of Benjamin even to the place of the former gate, and even to the gate of the corners, and from the tower of Hananel even to the pressing room of the king.

11 Nnipa bɛtena mu, na wɔrensɛe no bio. Yerusalem bɛnya asomdwoeɛ.

And they will dwell in it, and there will be no further anathema, but Jerusalem shall sit securely.

12 Yei ne ɔyaredɔm a Awurade de bɛbɔ aman a wɔko tiaa Yerusalem no. Wɔn honam bɛporɔ ɛberɛ a wɔgyina wɔn nan so. Wɔn anikosua bɛporɔ wɔ wɔn ntokuro mu, na wɔn tɛkrɛma bɛporɔ wɔ wɔn anomu.

And this will be the plague by which the Lord will strike all the Gentiles that have fought against Jerusalem. The flesh of each one will waste away while they are standing on their feet, and their eyes will be consumed in their sockets, and their tongue will be consumed in their mouth.

13 Saa ɛda no, Awurade bɛma nnipa abɔ huboa, na wɔbɛtwa wɔn ho ako.

In that day, there will be a great tumult from the Lord among them. And a man will take the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will be clasped upon the hand of his neighbor.

14 Yuda nso bɛko wɔ Yerusalem. Wɔbɛfa aman a atwa ahyia hɔ no nyinaa ahonyadeɛ a ɛyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne aduradeɛ bebree.

And even Judah will fight against Jerusalem. And the riches of all the Gentiles will be gathered together around them: gold, and silver, and more than enough garments.

15 Saa ɔyaredɔm korɔ yi ara bɛka apɔnkɔ, mfunumpɔnkɔ, nyoma, mfunumu ne mmoa a aka a wɔwɔ atamfoɔ nsraban mu nyinaa.

And, like the ruin of the horse, and the mule, and the camel, and the donkey, and all the beasts of burden, which will have been in those encampments, so will be this ruination.

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 all those who will be the remnant of all the Gentiles that came against Jerusalem, will go up, from year to year, to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

17 Sɛ ewiase mu nnipa bi ankɔ Yerusalem ankɔsom Ɔhene no, Asafo Awurade no a, osuo rentɔ mma wɔn.

And this shall be: whoever will not go up, from the families of the earth to Jerusalem, so as to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, there will be no showers upon them.

18 Sɛ Misraimfoɔ ankɔ hɔ ankɔhyɛ fa no bi a, osuo rentɔ mma wɔn. Awurade de ɔyaredɔm a ɔma ɛba aman a wɔnnkɔ Asese Afahyɛ no so no bɛbɔ wɔn.

But if even the family of Egypt will go not up, nor approach, neither will it be upon them, but there will be ruin, by which the Lord will strike all the Gentiles, who will not go up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

19 Yei bɛyɛ asotwe ama Misraim ne aman a wɔnnkɔ Asese Afahyɛ no nyinaa.

This will be the sin of Egypt, and this will be the sin of all the Gentiles, who will not go up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

20 Saa ɛda no, wɔbɛkrukyire asɛm a ɛka sɛ: KRONKRON MA Awurade wɔ adɔmma a ɛsensɛn apɔnkɔ kɔn mu ho, na nkukuo a wɔde noa aduane wɔ Awurade fie no bɛyɛ sɛ nkuruwa kronkron a ɛsisi afɔrebukyia anim.

In that day, that which is on the bridle of the horse will be holy to the Lord. And even the cooking pots in the house of the Lord will be like holy vessels before the altar.

21 Kukuo biara a ɛwɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda bɛyɛ deɛ wɔate ho ama Asafo Awurade, na wɔn a wɔba bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ nyinaa bɛfa nkukuo yi bi anoa mu. Na saa ɛda no, wɔrenhunu Kanaanni wɔ Asafo Awurade fie bio.

And every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be sanctified to the Lord of hosts. And all those who make sacrifices will come and take from them, and will cook with them. And the merchant will no longer be in the house of the Lord of hosts, in that day.
