Zekhariah 14
1 BOEIPA kah khohnin lo li coeng ke. Te dongah na khui ah na kutbuem a tael pawn ni.
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 Te dongah namtom boeih te caemtloek ham Jerusalem la ka coi ni. Khopuei te a loh vetih im a reth uh ni. Huta te a yalh rhoe a yalh puei uh vetih khopuei rhakthuem vangsawn la a khuen ni. Tedae pilnam kah a coih tah khopuei lamloh khoe mahpawh.
[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 Te phoeiah BOEIPA te cet vetih namtom te a tloek ni. Te tlam ni caemrhal hnin ah tah a vathoh hnin kah bangla om ni.
Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
4 Te khohnin ah tah khothoeng neh Jerusalem dan kah olive tlang ah a kho neh pai ni. Olive tlang a rhakthuem ah khocuk lamloh khotlak duela rhek ni. Kolrhawk te bahoeng len ni. Tlang rhakthuem te tlangpuei la, a rhakthuem te tuithim la nong ni.
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 Azel duela tlang kol a pha ham dongah ka tlang kol la na rhaelrham uh ni. Judah manghai Uzziah tue ah lingluei hmai lamloh na rhaelrham bangla na rhaelrham uh ni. Te vaengah ka Pathen BOEIPA tah hlangcim boeih neh nang taengla halo ni.
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 Te khohnin a pha vaengah khosae neh tuikhal dingsuk khaw om sut mahpawh.
At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.
7 Te vaengah khohnin pakhat ni a om eh. Te te BOEIPA loh a ming coeng. Khothaih moenih, khoyin bal moenih. Hlaem tue a pha vaengah khaw vangnah om ni.
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 Te khohnin a pha vaengah Jerusalem lamloh tui hing long vetih a rhakthuem te khocuk tuitunli la, a rhakthuem te khobawt tuitun la, khohal ah khaw, sikca ah khaw om ni.
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 Te vaengah Yahweh tah diklai pum kah manghai la om ni. Te khohnin ah tah Yahweh pakhat bueng ni a ming a om eh.
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 Geba lamloh Jerusalem tuithim Rimmon hil, khohmuen boeih he kolken la poeh ni. Tedae Benjamin vongka lamloh lamhma vongka hmuen hil, bangkil vongka neh Hananel rhaltoengim kah manghai va-am hil tah a tai vetih amah hmuen la kho a sak ni.
[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 A khuikah khosa rhoek khaw yaehtaboeih la om voel pawt vetih Jerusalem khaw ngaikhuek la kho a sak ni.
Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
12 Te vaengah lucik pai ni. Jerusalem aka muk pilnam boeih te BOEIPA loh a yawk sak ni. A kho dongah a pai pangthuem a saa rhong vetih a mik khaw a khui ah rhong ni. A ka dongah a lai khaw rhong ni.
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 Te khohnin a pha vaengah BOEIPA kah soekloeknah te amih taengah muep pai ni. Hlang loh a hui kah kut a hlaengtang vetih a kut loh a hui kah kut te a cuk thil ni.
At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
14 Judah khaw Jerusalem ah a tloek vetih kaepvai namtom cungkuem kah thadueng te a coi ni. Sui khaw, cak himbai khaw muep cungkuem ni.
[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 Marhang, muli-marhang, kalauk neh laak kah lucik om ni. He lucik bang he rhaehhmuen ah aka om rhamsa boeih soah khaw om ni.
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 la aka kun namtom cungkuem lamkah aka sueng boeih khaw om vetih kum khat kah kum a toep vaengah caempuei manghai Yahweh bawk ham neh pohlip khotue lam hamla cet uh ni.
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 Diklai koca lamlong tah caempuei manghai BOEIPA te bawk ham Jerusalem la cet pawt khaming. Te vaengah amih hamla khonal om mahpawh.
If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
18 Egypt koca tah cet pawt tih mop pawt mai ni. Te vaengah amih soah lucik om het mahpawt a? Te nen ni pohlip khotue lam hamla aka cet pawh namtom te BOEIPA loh a yawk sak.
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 Pohlip khotue lam hamla aka cet pawh Egypt kah tholhnah phu neh namtom boeih kah tholhnah phu la om ni.
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 Te khohnin ah tah marhang rhaloeng dongah khaw, BOEIPA K AH C IMCAIHNAH om vetih BOEIPA im kah umam khaw hmueihtuk hmai kah baelcak bangla om ni.
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 Jerusalem ah khaw, Judah ah khaw umam boeih dongah caempuei BOEIPA kah cimcaihnah om ni. Aka nawn boeih khaw kun uh vetih amamih lamkah a khuen uh te amah ah a thong uh ni. Te khohnin ah tah caempuei BOEIPA im ah Kanaan hnoyoi om voel mahpawh.
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.
