Sakaria 14

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

Behold the days of the Lord shall come, and thy spoils shall be divided in the midst of thee.

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 nations to Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken, and the houses shall be rifled, and the women shall be defiled: and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the rest of the people shall not be taken away out of the city.

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

Then the Lord shall go forth, and shall fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

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 shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is over against Jerusalem toward the east: and the mount of Olives shall be divided in the midst thereof to the east, and to the west with a very great opening, and half of the mountain shall be separated to the north, and half thereof to the south.

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 shall flee to the valley of those mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall be joined even to the next, and you shall flee as you fled from the face of the earthquake in the days of Ozias king of Juda: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with him.

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

And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall be no light, but 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 shall be one day, which is known to the Lord, not day nor night: and in the time of the evening there shall 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 it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem: half of them to the east sea, and half of them to the last sea: they shall 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 shall be king over all the earth: in that day there shall be one Lord, and his name shall 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 shall return even to the desert, from the hill to Remmon to the south of Jerusalem: and she shall be exalted, and shall 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 Hananeel even to the king’s wine-presses.

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

And people shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more an anathema: but Jerusalem shall sit secure.

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 shall be the plague where with the Lord shall strike all nations that have fought against Jerusalem: the flesh of every one shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

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

In that day there shall be a great tumult from the Lord among them: and a man shall take the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall be clasped upon his neighbour’s hand.

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

And even Juda shall fight against Jerusalem: and the riches of all nations round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and garments in great abundance.

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

And the destruction of the horse, and of the mule, and of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts, that shall be in those tents, shall be like this destruction.

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 they that shall be left of all nations that came against Jerusalem, shall go up from year to year, to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

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

And it shall come to pass, that he that shall not go up of the families of the land to Jerusalem, to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, there shall be no rain 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.

And if the family of Egypt go not up nor come: neither shall it be upon them, but there shall be destruction wherewith the Lord will strike all nations that will not go up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

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

This shall be the sin of Egypt, and this the sin of all nations, that will not go up to keep 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 upon the bridle of the horse shall be holy to the Lord: and the caldrons in the house of the Lord shall be as the phials 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 caldron in Jerusalem and Juda shall be sanctified to the Lord of hosts: and all that sacrifice shall come, and take of them, and shall seethe in them: and the merchant shall be no more in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day.
