Zakarias 14

1 Se, en Dag kommer for Herren, og dit Bytte skal deles i din Midte.

Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, When thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2 Og jeg vil sanke alle Hedningefolkene imod Jerusalem til Krigen, og Staden skal indtages og Husene plyndres og Kvinderne skændes; og Halvdelen af Staden skal gaa ud i Landflygtighed, men det overblevne af Folket skal ikke udryddes af Staden.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; And the city shall be taken, And the houses shall be rifled, And the women shall be ravished; And half of the city shall go forth into captivity, And the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Og Herren skal drage ud og stride imod disse Hedningefolk som den Dag, da han stred paa Krigens Dag.

Then shall Jehovah go forth, And fight against those nations, As he once fought in the day of battle.

4 Og hans Fødder skulle paa den Dag staa paa Oliebjerget, som er lige over for Jerusalem imod Østen, og Oliebjerget skal revne fra dets Midte af i Øst og Vest, saa der bliver en saare stor Dal, og Halvdelen af Bjerget skal vige imod Nord, og dets anden Halvdel imod Syd.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, Which is before Jerusalem on the east; And the Mount of Olives shall be cloven in the middle of it, eastward and westward, Into a very great valley; And half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, And half of it toward the south.

5 Og I skulle fly til mine Bjerges Dal, thi Bjergdalen skal naa til Azal, og I skulle fly, ligesom I flyede for Jordskælvet i Judas Konge Ussias's Dage; og Herren min Gud skal komme, — alle hellige med dig!

And ye shall flee through the valley of my mountains, For the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal; Yea, ye shall flee, as ye fled before the earthquake In the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Jehovah, my God, will come, And all his holy ones with him.

6 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at der intet Lys skal være, de prægtige Himmellys skulle fordunkles.

And it shall come to pass in that day That there shall he no light, but cold and ice;

7 Og der skal være een Dag, den skal være kendt af Herren, den skal ikke være Dag og ikke Nat; og det skal ske imod Aftens Tid, at der skal blive Lys.

And there shall be one day, (Known to Jehovah is it, ) It shall be neither day nor night; But at the time of evening there shall be light.

8 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at levende Vande skulle udgaa af Jerusalem, Halvdelen af dem til Havet imod Østen og Halvdelen af dem til Havet imod Vesten; det skal være baade om Sommeren og om Vinteren.

And it shall come to pass in that day That living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea, And half of them toward the western sea; In summer and in winter shall they be.

9 Og Herren skal være Konge over det hele Land; paa den Dag skal Herren være een, og hans Navn eet.

And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth; In that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one.

10 Det hele Land skal forandre sig og vorde som Sletten, fra Geba indtil Rimmon, Syd for Jerusalem; men denne skal hæve sig højt og trone paa sit Sted, fra Benjamins Port indtil den første Ports Sted, indtil Hjørneporten, og fra Hananeels Taarn indtil Kongens Vinperser.

The whole land shall be turned into a plain, From Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem; And the city shall be exalted and inhabited in her place, From the gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, And to the corner gate, And from the tower of Hananeel to the king's wine-presses.

11 Og de skulle bo i den, og Band skal ikke være ydermere, og Jerusalem skal bo tryggelig.

Men shall dwell therein, And there shall be no more destruction; But Jerusalem shall dwell securely.

12 Og det skal være den Plage, med hvilken Herren skal slaa alle Folkene, som have stridt imod Jerusalem: Han skal lade deres Kød tæres hen, medens de endnu staa paa deres Fødder, og deres Øjne skulle tæres hen i deres Hulninger, og deres Tunge skal tæres hen i deres Mund.

And this shall be the plague With which Jehovah will smite all the nations Which warred against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, And their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, And their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at der skal komme en stor Forvirring fra Herren iblandt dem, saa at de skulle gribe den ene den andens Haand, og at den enes Haand skal løfte sig imod den andens Haand.

And it shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a great tumult among them from Jehovah; And they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, And his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.

14 Og Juda skal ogsaa kæmpe i Jerusalem; og Godset efter alle Hedningefolkene trindt omkring skal sankes, Guld og Sølv og Klæder i saare stor Mangfoldighed.

And Judah also shall fight against Jerusalem; But the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together, Gold and silver and apparel in great abundance.

15 Og saadan skal Plagen være over Hestene, Mulerne, Kamelerne og Asenerne og over alle Dyrene, som findes i disse Lejre, saadan som denne Plage.

And so shall be the plague of the horse, Of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, And of every beast which shall be in those camps, Even as this plague.

16 Og det skal ske, at alle de overblevne af alle de Hedningefolk, som kom imod Jerusalem, skulle drage op, Aar efter Aar, for at tilbede Kongen, den Herre Zebaoth, og for at højtideligholde Løvsalernes Fest.

And it shall be, that every one that is left Of all the nations which come against Jerusalem, Even they shall go up, from year to year, To worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, And to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 Og det skal ske, naar nogen af Slægterne paa Jorden ikke drager op til Jerusalem for at tilbede Kongen, den Herre Zebaoth, saa skal Regnen ikke blive dem til Del.

And it shall be that whoso will not go up, Of the families of the earth, to Jerusalem, To worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, Upon them shall be no rain.

18 Og dersom Ægypternes Slægt ikke drager op og ikke kommer, da skal den ej heller blive dem til Del; der skal komme den Plage, med hvilken Herren slaar de Hedningefolk, som ikke drage op for at højtideligholde Løvsalernes Fest.

And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, Then not for them shall there be water. The plague shall come upon them With which Jehovah shall smite the nations Which go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19 Dette skal være Ægyptens Syndestraf og alle de Hedningefolks Syndestraf, som ikke drage op for at højtideligholde Løvsalernes Fest.

This shall be the punishment of Egypt, And the punishment of all the nations That come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 Paa den Dag skal der staa paa Hestenes Bjælder: „Helliget Herren‟; og Gryderne i Herrens Hus skulle være som Offerskaalerne foran Alteret.

In that day, upon the bells of the horses Shall be written, “Holy to Jehovah.” And the pots in the house of Jehovah Shall be as the bowls before the altar.

21 Og hver Gryde i Jerusalem og i Juda skal være hellig for den Herre Zebaoth, og alle de, som ofre, skulle komme og tage af dem og koge i dem; og der skal ingen Kananit ydermere være i den Herre Zebaoths Hus paa den Dag.

And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah Shall be holy to Jehovah of hosts; And all that sacrifice shall come, And shall take of them, and seethe therein. And there shall be no more a trader In the house of Jehovah of hosts, in that day.
