Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel; )
Nkɔmhyɛ: Awurade asɛm tia Hadrak asase na ɛbɛka Damasko ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa ne Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa ani wɔ Awurade so.
2 and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.
Na ɛbɛka Hamat a ɔne no bɔ hyeɛ; ɛbɛka Tiro ne Sidon, ɛwom sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ.
3 And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Tiro asi abandenden ama ne ho; waboa dwetɛ ano te sɛ mfuturo, ne sikakɔkɔɔ ano te sɛ dɔteɛ a ɛwɔ mmɔntene so.
4 Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Nanso, Awurade bɛgye nʼahodeɛ nyinaa na wasɛe ne tumi a ɔwɔ wɔ ɛpo so, na wɔde ogya bɛhye no dworobɛɛ.
5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Askelon bɛhunu na wasuro Gasa de ɔyea bɛnukanuka ne mu, na Ekron nso saa ara, ɛfiri sɛ nʼanidasoɔ bɛsa. Gasa bɛhwere ne ɔhene na wɔbɛgya Askelon afituo.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines;
Ananafoɔ bɛtena Asdod, na mɛtwa Filistifoɔ ahantan agu.
7 and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Mɛyi mogya afiri wɔn ano, akyiwadeɛ nnuane nso mɛyi afiri wɔn ano. Nkaeɛfoɔ no bɛyɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn dea wɔbɛyɛ Yuda ntuanofoɔ, na Ekron bɛyɛ sɛ Yebusifoɔ.
8 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.
Nanso mɛbɔ me Fie ho ban wɔ wɔn a wɔtetɛ bɔ korɔno ho. Ɔhyɛsofoɔ biara ntumi mfa me nkurɔfoɔ so bio, ɛfiri sɛ afei merewɛn.
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Di ahurisie Ao, Ɔbabaa Sion! Team, Ɔbabaa Yerusalem! Hwɛ, wo ɔhene reba wo nkyɛn. Ɔtene na ɔwɔ nkwagyeɛ, ɔdwo, na ɔte afunumu so, afunumu ba so na ɔteɛ.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
Mɛgye nteaseɛnam afiri Efraim ne akofoɔ apɔnkɔ afiri Yerusalem, na akodie tadua no wɔbɛbubu mu. Ɔbɛpae mu aka asomdwoeɛ nsɛm akyerɛ aman no. Nʼahennie bɛfiri ɛpo akɔka ɛpo ɛbɛfiri Asubɔnten no akɔpem nsase ano.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
Na wo deɛ, ɛsiane me ne wo mogya apam no enti, mɛyi wo nneduafoɔ afiri amena a nsuo nni mu.
12 Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.
Monsane nkɔ mʼaban mu, Ao nneduafoɔ a mowɔ anidasoɔ; seesei mpo merebɔ mo nkaeɛ sɛ mɛhyɛ mo anan mu mmɔho.
13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man.
Mɛkoa Yuda sɛdeɛ mekoa me tadua na mede Efraim bɛhyɛ mu. Mɛkanyane wo mmammarima, Ao Sion, atia wo Hela mmammarima, na mɛyɛ wo sɛ ɔkofoɔ akofena.
14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds of the south.
Afei Awurade bɛda ne ho adi wɔn so; nʼagyan bɛtwa yerɛ te sɛ anyinam. Otumfoɔ Awurade bɛhyɛn totorobɛnto no; ɔbɛbɔ nsra wɔ atɔeɛ fam ahum mu,
15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
Asafo Awurade bɛyɛ ɛkyɛm ama wɔn. Wɔde ahwimmoɔ bɛsɛe na wɔde adi nkonim. Wɔbɛnom na wɔabobɔ mu sɛdeɛ wɔanom nsã; wɔbɛyɛ ma te sɛ kuruwa a wɔde pete afɔrebukyia ntweaso.
16 And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon his land.
Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn, bɛgye wɔn saa ɛda no sɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ gye ne nnwan. Wɔbɛtwa nyinam nyinam wɔ nʼasase so, sɛ aboɔdemmoɔ a ɛbobɔ ahenkyɛ ho.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
Sɛdeɛ wɔn ho bɛtwa na wɔn ho ayɛ fɛ afa! Aduane bɛma mmeranteɛ anyini ahoɔden so na nsã foforɔ bɛma mmabaawa anyini saa ara.
