< 撒迦利亚书 14 >
1 耶和华的日子临近,你的财物必被抢掠,在你中间分散。
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 因为我必聚集万国与耶路撒冷争战,城必被攻取,房屋被抢夺,妇女被玷污,城中的民一半被掳去;剩下的民仍在城中,不致剪除。
[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 那时,耶和华必出去与那些国争战,好像从前争战一样。
Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
4 那日,他的脚必站在耶路撒冷前面朝东的橄榄山上。这山必从中间分裂,自东至西成为极大的谷。山的一半向北挪移,一半向南挪移。
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 你们要从我山的谷中逃跑,因为山谷必延到亚萨。你们逃跑,必如犹大王乌西雅年间的人逃避大地震一样。耶和华—我的 神必降临,有一切圣者同来。
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].
At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.
7 那日,必是耶和华所知道的,不是白昼,也不是黑夜,到了晚上才有光明。
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 那日,必有活水从耶路撒冷出来,一半往东海流,一半往西海流;冬夏都是如此。
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 耶和华必作全地的王。那日耶和华必为独一无二的,他的名也是独一无二的。
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 全地,从迦巴直到耶路撒冷南方的临门,要变为亚拉巴。耶路撒冷必仍居高位,就是从便雅悯门到第一门之处,又到角门,并从哈楠业楼,直到王的酒榨。
[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 人必住在其中,不再有咒诅。耶路撒冷人必安然居住。
Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
12 耶和华用灾殃攻击那与耶路撒冷争战的列国人,必是这样:他们两脚站立的时候,肉必消没,眼在眶中干瘪,舌在口中溃烂。
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 那日,耶和华必使他们大大扰乱。他们各人彼此揪住,举手攻击。
At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
14 犹大也必在耶路撒冷争战。那时四围各国的财物,就是许多金银衣服,必被收聚。
[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 那临到马匹、骡子、骆驼、驴,和营中一切牲畜的灾殃是与那灾殃一般。
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 所有来攻击耶路撒冷列国中剩下的人,必年年上来敬拜大君王—万军之耶和华,并守住棚节。
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 地上万族中,凡不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王—万军之耶和华的,必无雨降在他们的地上。
If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
18 埃及族若不上来,雨也不降在他们的地上;凡不上来守住棚节的列国人,耶和华也必用这灾攻击他们。
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 这就是埃及的刑罚和那不上来守住棚节之列国的刑罚。
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 当那日,马的铃铛上必有“归耶和华为圣”的这句话。耶和华殿内的锅必如祭坛前的碗一样。
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 凡耶路撒冷和犹大的锅都必归万军之耶和华为圣。凡献祭的都必来取这锅,煮肉在其中。当那日,在万军之耶和华的殿中必不再有迦南人。
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.
