Zechariah 10
1 Ask of the LORD rain in the spring time, the LORD who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
Mommisa Awurade hɔ nsuo osutɔberɛ mu; ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔyɛ osutɔ mframa. Ɔma osuo tɔ ma nnipa nyinaa, ne mfudeɛ nso ma obiara.
2 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 oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
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.
3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats, for the LORD of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
“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.
4 From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
Tweatiboɔ bɛfiri Yuda mu, na ntomadan pɛɛwa bɛfiri hɔ, ɔsa mu tadua bɛfiri Yuda mu, na sodifoɔ nyinaa nso saa ara.
5 They will be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle. They will fight, because the LORD is with them. The riders on horses will be confounded.
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.
6 “I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, for I have mercy on them. They will be as though I had not cast them off, for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them.
“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.
7 Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine. Yes, their children will see it and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in the LORD.
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.
8 I will signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were before.
Meto nsa afrɛ wɔn aboaboa wɔn ano. Ampa ara megye wɔn bio; wɔbɛdɔɔso sɛ kane no.
9 I will sow them among the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will return.
Ɛwom sɛ mɛhwete wɔn mu akɔ aman so, nanso wɔbɛkae me wɔ akyirikyiri nsase so. Wɔne wɔn mma bɛtena nkwa mu, na wɔbɛsane aba.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there will not be room enough for them.
Mede wɔn bɛfiri Misraim aba mɛboa wɔn ano afiri Asiria. Mede wɔn bɛba Gilead ne Lebanon, na wɔrensene hɔ.
11 He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
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.
12 I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
Mɛhyɛ wɔn den wɔ Awurade mu na ne din mu na wɔbɛnante,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
