1 Memaa mʼani so bio, na mehunuu nteaseɛnam ɛnan a ɛfiri mmepɔ mmienu ntam reba, mmepɔ no yɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ.
And I returned and I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! four chariots [were] coming forth from between [the] two the mountains and the mountains [were] mountains of bronze.
2 Teaseɛnam a ɛdi ɛkan no, na apɔnkɔ kɔkɔɔ na ɛtwe, na apɔnkɔ tuntum nso twe deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no.
[were] with the Chariot first horses red and [were] with the chariot second horses black.
3 Deɛ ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no, na apɔnkɔ fitaa na ɛtwe. Deɛ ɛto so ɛnan no, na apɔnkɔ ntokontrama na ɛtwe, na apɔnkɔ no nyinaa ho yɛ den.
And [were] with the chariot third horses white and [were] with the chariot fourth horses dappled strong.
4 Mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no sɛ, “Me wura, yeinom yɛ ɛdeɛn?”
And I answered and I said to the angel who was speaking with me what? [are] these O lord my.
5 Ɔbɔfoɔ no buaa me sɛ, “Yeinom yɛ ahonhom ɛnan a wɔfiri soro, na wɔrefiri ewiase nyinaa Awurade no anim akɔ.
And he answered the angel and he said to me these [are] [the] four [the] winds of the heavens going forth from when presented themselves on [the] lord of all the earth.
6 Teaseɛnam a apɔnkɔ tuntum retwe no rekɔ ɔman a ɛwɔ atifi fam no so. Teaseɛnam a apɔnkɔ fitaa retwe no rekɔ atɔeɛ fam; na deɛ apɔnkɔ ntokontrama twe no rekɔ anafoɔ fam.”
Which with it the horses black [are] going out to [the] land of [the] north and the white [horses] they have gone out to after them and the dappled [horses] they have gone out to [the] land of the south.
7 Apɔnkɔ ahoɔdenfoɔ no firii adi no, wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔkɔ asase nyinaa so. Na ɔbɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Monkɔ asase nyinaa so!” Enti wɔkɔɔ asase so mmaa nyinaa.
And the strong [horses] they have gone out and they have sought to go to go about on the earth and he said go go about on the earth and they went about on the earth.
8 Afei, ɔfrɛɛ me sɛ, “Hwɛ, wɔn a wɔrekɔ atifi fam ɔman so no ama me Honhom ahomegyeɛ wɔ atifi fam asase no so.”
And he called out to with me and he spoke to me saying see those [which] are going out to [the] land of [the] north they have caused to rest spirit my in [the] land of [the] north.
9 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn. Ɔkaa sɛ,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
10 “Gye sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ firi atukɔfoɔ, Heldai, Tobia ne Yedaia a wɔfiri Babilonia aba no nkyɛn. Ɛda no ara kɔ Sefania babarima Yosia fie.
Take from with the exile[s] from Heldai and from with Tobiah and from with Jedaiah and you will go you on the day that and you will go [the] house Josiah [the] son of Zephaniah who they have come from Babylon.
11 Gye dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ na fa yɛ ahenkyɛ, hyɛ ɔsɔfopanin Yosua a ɔyɛ Yehosadak babarima no ti.
And you will take silver and gold and you will make a crown and you will put [it] on [the] head of Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great.
12 Ka kyerɛ no sɛ, sei na Asafo Awurade seɛ: ‘Ɔbarima a wɔfrɛ no Dubaa no nie, na ɔbɛfefɛ afiri hɔ akɔsi Awurade asɔredan no.
And you will say to him saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts saying there! a man [is] Branch name his and from under him he will sprout and he will build [the] temple of Yahweh.
13 Ɔno na ɔbɛsi Awurade asɔredan no, na wɔbɛhyɛ no animuonyam, na ɔbɛtena nʼahennwa so adi ne ɔhene, na ɔbɛyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ wɔ nʼahennwa so. Afei asomdwoeɛ bɛba mmienu no ntam.’
And he he will build [the] temple of Yahweh and he he will bear majesty and he will sit and he will rule on throne his and he will be a priest on throne his and a counsel of peace it will be between [the] two of them.
14 Wɔde ahenkyɛ no bɛma Heldai, Tobia, Yedaia ne Sefania babarima Hen, na wɔde ayɛ nkae adeɛ wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
And the crown it will be to Helem and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah and to Hen [the] son of Zephaniah to a memorial in [the] temple of Yahweh.
15 Wɔn a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri no bɛba abɛboa Awurade asɔredan no si, na mobɛhunu sɛ Asafo Awurade na wasoma me mo nkyɛn. Sɛ moyɛ ɔsetie ma Awurade mo Onyankopɔn nokorɛ mu a, yei bɛba mu.”
And distant [ones] - they will come and they will build [the] temple of Yahweh and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me to you and it will be certainly [if] you will listen! to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.
