< Zekariah 14 >
1 Khenah, kalah kaminawk mah nang ih hmuenmae amzet o nathuem ah, Angraeng ih ni to angzo tih.
Listen! It will soon be the time when Yahweh [will judge everyone]. At that time, the possessions that were taken from you [people of Jerusalem by your enemies will be returned to you, and] will be divided among you.
2 To naah Jerusalem tuk hanah prae kaminawk tp ka tacuu boih han; vangpui to la o ueloe, imnawk to taek o tih, nongpatanawk to zae o haih tih; vangpui ahap kaminawk loe misong ah om o tih, toe kanghmat kaminawk loe vangpui thung hoi ruet o nganga mak ai.
[Before that happens, ] Yahweh will cause [the armies of] many [HYP] nations to attack Jerusalem. They will capture the city and steal all the valuable things from your houses and rape the women. They will take half of the people to other countries, but the other half of the people will be allowed to remain in the city.
3 To naah Angraeng to caeh ueloe, anih mah to acaeng kaminawk to misa tuk baktiah tuh tih.
Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
4 To na niah loe Jerusalem ni angyae bangah kaom, Olive Mae nuiah a khok hoiah angdoe tih, Olive Mae to ni angyae hoi niduem bang khoek to a um ah koi phuk ueloe, tangtling kalen pui ah angcoeng tih; mae ahap to aluek bangah angthui ueloe, kalah ahap to aloih bangah angthui tih.
On that day, he will stand on Olive [Tree] Hill, east of Jerusalem. Olive [Tree] Hill will be split into two [parts], with a large valley between the parts. Half of the hill will move toward the north and half [will move] toward the south.
5 Nangcae loe kai ih mae tangtling ah na cawn o tih, to mae tangtling loe Azel hmuen karoek to om tih: ue, Judah siangpahrang Uzziah dung nathuem ih talihnawh naah na cawnh o ih baktih toengah, na cawn o tih: to naah ka Angraeng Sithaw to angzo tih, kaciim kaminawk boih Nang hoi nawnto angzo o tih.
People will flee through that valley which extends to the other side (OR, to Azel), like [SIM] people fled when there was an earthquake during the time that King Uzziah ruled Judah. Then Yahweh my God will come with his holy [angels].
6 To na niah aanghaih om mak ai; aanghaih loe thacak mak ai:
At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.
7 ni loe Angraeng mah khaeh ih niah om ueloe, khoving hoi khodai doeh om mak ai boeh: niduem naah aanghaih to om lat tih boeh.
There has been no other time like that time, and only Yahweh knows when it will happen. There will be no daytime or nighttime; there will be [light continually], [even] in the evening.
8 To na niah loe Jerusalem hoiah hinghaih tuinawk to long tih; nipui tue hoi sik tue naah doeh tui ahap ni angyae bang ih tuipui ah long ueloe, ahap niduem bang ih tuipui ah long tih.
At that time, running/fresh water will flow from Jerusalem. One stream will flow toward the east to the [Dead] Sea. The other stream will flow toward the west to the [Mediterranean] Sea. The water will flow [all the time], during (summer/the hot season) as well as in (winter/the cold season).
9 Angraeng loe long pum ah Siangpahrang ah om tih: to na niah loe Angraeng maeto ni om tih boeh, anih ih ahmin loe Maeto, tiah om tih.
After that time, Yahweh will be the king [who rules] the entire world. [Everyone will know that] Yahweh, and only Yahweh [MTY], is the true God.
10 Prae loe Jerusalem aloih bangah kaom Geba hoi Rimmon karoek to tangtling ah angcoeng boih tih: toe Jerusalem loe kasang ah tapom tahang ueloe, Benjamin ih khongkha hoi kamtong hmaloe koek khongkha hoi takii ih khongkha khoek to, Hananel imsang hoiah siangpahrang ih misurtui pasawhhaih ahmuen karoek to, a ohhaih ahmuen to cak tih boeh.
[At that time, ] all the land [in Judah] from Geba [town at the north] to Rimmon [town far to] the south of Jerusalem, will become a plain. Jerusalem will remain raised up like it has always been. [It will extend] from the Benjamin Gate and the First Gate [northeast] to the Tower of Hananel, and to the king’s winepresses [to the southwest].
11 Vangpui thungah kaminawk om o tih; natuek naah doeh amro o mak ai boeh; Jerusalem loe monghaih hoiah om tih boeh.
Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
12 Jerusalem tuh kaminawk to Angraeng mah nathaih hoiah hum boih tih: nihcae loe angmacae ih khok ah angdoet o nathuem ah ngan to qong pae ueloe, mik doeh a thungah qong pae tih, palainawk doeh pakha thungah qong pae tih.
But Yahweh will cause the people in all the nations that attacked Jerusalem to be afflicted by a (plague/severe illness). Their flesh will rot while they are still standing up. Their eyes will rot in their sockets and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 To na niah loe Angraeng khae hoi kalen parai zithaih nihcae salakah om tih; nihcae mah a imtaeng kaminawk ih ban to patawn o tih, ban phok o ueloe, a imtaeng kaminawk to hum o tih.
At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
14 Judah doeh Jerusalem ah misa tuh tih; a taengah kaom Sithaw panoek ai prae kaminawk ih paroeai hmuenmae, sui, sum kanglung hoi khukbuennawk to nawnto ah tapop o tih.
[The people who live in other places in] Judah will fight to defend Jerusalem. They will collect the valuable things from the surrounding nations—a lot of gold and silver and clothes.
15 To baktih nathaih loe hrang, mule hrang, kaengkuu hrang, laa hrangnawk hoi khongkha thungah kaom moinawk boih nuiah pha tih.
The same plague [that will afflict the people of other nations] will afflict their horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the other work animals in their (camps/places where they have set up their tents).
16 Jerusalem tuk hanah angzo prae kaminawk boih thungah kanghmat kaminawk loe saning kruek misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Siangpahrang to bok moe, kahni im poih to pangh hanah, caeh o tahang tih.
The people of other nations who [previously] came [to fight] against Jerusalem, all those who are still alive, will return to Jerusalem every year to worship the King, the Commander of the armies of angels, and to celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
17 Long nuiah kaom acaeng boih, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Siangpahrang to bok hanah, Jerusalem ah caeh tahang ai kami loe, nihcae nuiah kho angzo mak ai.
If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
18 Izip kaminawk loe caeh o tahang ai moe, athum o ai nahaeloe, kho angzohhaih to hnu o mak ai; kahni im poihkung ah caeh tahang ai acaeng kaminawk loe, Angraeng mah nihcae to nathaih hoiah bop tih.
If the people of Egypt [or any other nation] do not go to Jerusalem, [they will not have any rain]. And Yahweh will cause them to experience the same plague that afflicted the [people of other] nations that did not celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
19 Hae loe Izip kaminawk danpaekhaih hoi kahni im poihkung ah caeh tahang ai prae kaminawk boih danpaekhaih ah om tih.
That is how [Yahweh] will punish [the people of] Egypt and [the people of] any [other] nation who do not go [to Jerusalem] to celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
20 To na niah loe ANGRAENG HAN CIIMCAIHAIH, tiah hrangnawk ih koekroek nuiah tarik o tih; Angraeng im ih laomnawk doeh hmaicam hma ih sabaenawk baktiah om O tih.
At that time, [the words] ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ will be written on the bells that are fastened to the horses. The [cooking] pots in [the courtyard of the] temple will be [sacred], like the bowls that are near the altar.
21 Ue, Jerusalem hoi Judah ih laomnawk boih loe misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng han ciimcai hmuen ah om tih: angbawnhaih sak han angzo kaminawk boih mah laomnawk to la o ueloe, moi thong hanah patoh o tih: to na niah loe misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng imthung ah Kanaan kami om mak ai boeh.
Every pot in Jerusalem and [in other places in] Judah will be dedicated to the Commander of the armies of angels. So everyone who offers sacrifices [there in Jerusalem] will be able to take some of the meat that has been brought for sacrifices, and cook it in their own pots. And at that time, people will no longer buy or sell things in [the courtyard of] the temple of the Commander of the armies of angels.
