Sakaria 9
1 Nkɔmhyɛ: Awurade asɛm tia Hadrak asase na ɛbɛka Damasko ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa ne Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa ani wɔ Awurade so.
The birthun of the word of the Lord, in the lond of Adrach, and of Damask, the reste therof; for `of the Lord is the iye of man, and of alle lynagis of Israel.
2 Na ɛbɛka Hamat a ɔne no bɔ hyeɛ; ɛbɛka Tiro ne Sidon, ɛwom sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ.
And Emath in termes therof, and Tirus, and Sidon; for thei token to hem wisdom greetli.
3 Tiro asi abandenden ama ne ho; waboa dwetɛ ano te sɛ mfuturo, ne sikakɔkɔɔ ano te sɛ dɔteɛ a ɛwɔ mmɔntene so.
And Tirus bildide his strengthing, and gaderide siluer as erthe, and gold as fen of stretis.
4 Nanso, Awurade bɛgye nʼahodeɛ nyinaa na wasɛe ne tumi a ɔwɔ wɔ ɛpo so, na wɔde ogya bɛhye no dworobɛɛ.
Lo! the Lord schal welde it, and schal smyte in the see the strengthe therof, and it schal be deuourid bi fier.
5 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.
Ascalon schal see, and schal drede; and Gasa, `and schal sorewe ful myche; and Accaron, for the hope therof is confoundid; and the kyng schal perische fro Gasa, and Ascalon schal not be enhabited;
6 Ananafoɔ bɛtena Asdod, na mɛtwa Filistifoɔ ahantan agu.
and a departere schal sitte in Asotus, and Y schal distrie the pride of Filisteis.
7 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.
And Y schal take awei the blood therof fro the mouth of him, and abhomynaciouns of hym fro the myddil of teeth of hym, and he also schal be left to our God; and he schal be as a duyk in Juda, and Accaron as Jebusei.
8 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.
And Y schal cumpasse myn hous of these that holden kniythod to me, and goen, and turnen ayen; and `an vniust axere schal no more passe on hem, for now Y siy with myn iyen.
9 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.
Thou douyter of Sion, make ioie withoutforth ynow, synge, thou douyter of Jerusalem; lo! thi kyng schal come to thee, he iust, and sauyour; he pore, and stiynge on a sche asse, and on a fole, sone of a sche asse.
10 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.
And Y schal leese foure horsid carte of Effraym, and an hors of Jerusalem, and the bouwe of batel schal be distried; and he schal speke pees to hethene men, and the power of him schal be fro see til to see, and fro floodis til to the endis of erthe.
11 Na wo deɛ, ɛsiane me ne wo mogya apam no enti, mɛyi wo nneduafoɔ afiri amena a nsuo nni mu.
And thou in blood of thi testament sentist out thi boundun men fro lake, in which is not water.
12 Monsane nkɔ mʼaban mu, Ao nneduafoɔ a mowɔ anidasoɔ; seesei mpo merebɔ mo nkaeɛ sɛ mɛhyɛ mo anan mu mmɔho.
Ye boundun of hope, be conuertid to strengthing; and to dai Y schewynge schal yelde to thee double thingis,
13 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.
for Y schal stretche forthe to me Juda as a bowe, Y fillide `the lond of Effraym. And Y schal reise thi sones, thou Sion, on thi sones, thou lond of Grekis, and Y schal sette thee as the swerd of stronge men.
14 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,
And the Lord God schal be seyn on hem, and the dart of him schal go out as leit.
15 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.
And the Lord God schal synge in a trumpe, and schal go in whirlwynd of the south; the Lord of oostis schal defende hem, and thei schulen deuoure, and make suget with stoonys of a slynge; and thei drynkynge schulen be fillid as with wyn, and schulen be fillid as viols, and as hornes of the auter.
16 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.
And the Lord God `of hem schal saue hem in that dai, as a floc of his puple, for hooli stoonus schulen be reisid on the lond of hym.
17 Sɛdeɛ wɔn ho bɛtwa na wɔn ho ayɛ fɛ afa! Aduane bɛma mmeranteɛ anyini ahoɔden so na nsã foforɔ bɛma mmabaawa anyini saa ara.
For what is the good of hym, and what is the faire of hym, no but whete of chosun men, and wyn buriownynge virgyns?
