Zakarias 14
1 Se, en Dag kommer, HERRENS Dag, da dit Bytte skal deles i dig.
Watch out! For the day of the Lord is coming when what has been plundered from you will be divided up right in front of you.
2 Da samler jeg alle Folkene til Angreb paa Jerusalem; Byen indtages, Husene plyndres, Kvinderne skændes, og Halvdelen af Byens Indbyggere vandrer i Landflygtighed; men Resten af Folket skal ikke udryddes af Byen.
I will bring together all the nations to attack Jerusalem. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the population will be taken into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.
3 Og HERREN drager ud og strider mod disse Folk, som han fordum stred paa Kampens Dag.
Then the Lord will go out to fight against the nations as he fights in times of war.
4 Paa hin Dag staar hans Fødder paa Oliebjerget østen for Jerusalem, og Oliebjerget skal revne midt over fra Øst til Vest og danne en vældig Dal, idet Bjergets ene Halvdel viger mod Nord, den anden mod Syd.
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives which faces Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of Olives will split apart, with half moving north and half moving south, creating a wide valley from east to west.
5 I skal flygte til mine Bjerges Dal, thi Bjergdalen naar til Azal. I skal fly, som I flyede for Jordskælvet i Kong Uzzija af Judas Dage. Og HERREN min Gud kommer og alle de Hellige med ham.
You will run away through this mountain valley for it will reach as far as Azal. You will run away like people did at the time of the earthquake during the reign of Uzzah, king of Judah. Then the Lord will come, accompanied by all his holy ones.
6 Paa hin Dag skal der ikke være Hede eller Kulde og Frost.
On that day there will be no longer cold and frost.
7 Det skal være een eneste Dag — HERREN kender den — ikke Dag og Nat; det skal være lyst ved Aftentide.
It will be one continuous day (only the Lord knows how this could happen). It won't be day or night, because in the evening it will still be light.
8 Paa hin Dag skal rindende Vand vælde frem fra Jerusalem; det halve løber ud i Havet mod Øst, det halve i Havet mod Vest, og det baade Sommer og Vinter.
On that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of it going east to the Dead Sea and half going west to the Mediterranean Sea, flowing in summer and winter alike.
9 Og HERREN skal være Konge over hele Jorden. Paa hin Dag skal HERREN være een og hans Navn eet.
The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one true Lord, and his name the only one.
10 Og hele Landet bliver en Slette fra Geba til Rimmon i Sydlandet; men Jerusalem skal ligge højt paa sit gamle Sted. Fra Benjaminsporten til den gamle Ports Sted, til Hjørneporten, og fra Hanan'eltaarnet til de kongelige Vinperser skal det være beboet.
The whole land will be transformed into a plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem will be raised up to where it was, and people will live there from the Benjamin Gate to where the old gate was, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.
11 Der skal ikke mere lægges Band derpaa, og Jerusalem skal ligge trygt.
It will be inhabited and never again condemned to destruction again—people will be able to live in safety in Jerusalem.
12 Men dette skal være den Plage, HERREN lader ramme alle de Folkeslag, som drager i Leding mod Jerusalem: han lader Kødet raadne paa dem i levende Live, Øjnene raadner i deres Øjenhuler og Tungen i deres Mund.
This will be the plague that the Lord will use to strike all the nations that attacked Jerusalem. Their flesh shall rot while they are still standing on their feet; their eyes will rot in their sockets; their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 Paa hin Dag skal en vældig HERRENS Rædsel opstaa iblandt dem, saa de griber fat i og løfter Haand mod hverandre.
On that day the Lord will strike them with a terrible panic, and they will seize one another, and fight hand-to-hand.
14 Ogsaa Juda skal stride i Jerusalem. Og alle Folkenes Rigdom skal samles trindt om fra, Guld, Sølv og Klæder i saare store Maader.
Even Judah will fight in Jerusalem. The wealth of the surrounding nations shall be collected: lots of gold, silver, and clothes.
15 Og samme Plage skal ramme Heste, Muldyr, Kameler, Æsler og alt Kvæg i Lejrene der.
A similar plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all other animals that may be in their camps.
16 Men alle de, der bliver tilbage af alle Folkene, som kommer imod Jerusalem, skal Aar efter Aar drage derop for at tilbede Kongen, Hærskarers HERRE, og fejre Løvhyttefest.
After this every one of the survivors from the nations that attacked Jerusalem will go there to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
17 Og dersom nogen af Jordens Slægter ikke drager op til Jerusalem for at tilbede Kongen, Hærskarers HERRE, skal der ikke falde Regn hos dem.
If any of the peoples of the world refuse to go to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.
18 Og dersom Ægyptens Slægt ikke drager derop og kommer derhen, saa skal de rammes af den Plage, HERREN lader ramme Folkene.
If the Egyptian people refuse to go and attend, then the Lord will inflict on them the same plague as on the other nations who will not go celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
19 Det er Straffen over Ægypterne og alle de Folk, som ikke drager op for at fejre Løvhyttefest.
This will be the punishment on Egypt and all the nations if they do not go to Jerusalem and celebrate.
20 Paa hin Dag skal der staa paa Hestenes Bjælder »Helliget HERREN«. Og Gryderne i HERRENS Hus skal være som Offerskaalene for Alteret;
On that day the bells worn by horses will be engraved with the words “Holy to the Lord.” The household cooking pots used in the Lord's Temple will be as holy as the bowls used on the altar in the presence of the Lord.
21 hver Gryde i Jerusalem og Juda skal være helliget Hærskarers HERRE, saa alle de ofrende kan komme og tage af dem og koge deri. Og paa hin Dag skal der ikke mere være nogen Kana'anæer i Hærskarers HERRES Hus.
Every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, so that everyone who comes to sacrifice can take them and cook their sacrificial meat in them. On that day there will no longer be traders in the Lord's Temple.
