Zakarias 14

1 Se, en Dag kommer, HERRENS Dag, da dit Bytte skal deles i dig.

Behold! A day for Yahweh is coming when your plunder will be divided in your midst.

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.

For I will gather every nation against Jerusalem for battle and the city will be captured. The houses will be plundered and the women raped. Half of the city will go out into captivity, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city.

3 Og HERREN drager ud og strider mod disse Folk, som han fordum stred paa Kampens Dag.

But Yahweh will go out and wage war against those nations as when he wages war on the day of battle.

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 is beside Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half between the east and the west by a very great valley and half of the mountain will go back toward the north and half toward the south.

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.

Then you will flee down the valley between Yahweh's mountains, for the valley between those mountains will reach to Azel. You will flee just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. Then Yahweh my God will come and all the holy ones will be with him.

6 Paa hin Dag skal der ikke være Hede eller Kulde og Frost.

On that day there will be no light, but no cold or frost either.

7 Det skal være een eneste Dag — HERREN kender den — ikke Dag og Nat; det skal være lyst ved Aftentide.

On that day, a day known only to Yahweh, there will no longer be day or night, for the evening will be a time of 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 them will flow to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter.

9 Og HERREN skal være Konge over hele Jorden. Paa hin Dag skal HERREN være een og hans Navn eet.

Yahweh will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be Yahweh, the one God, and his name alone.

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.

All the land will be like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem will continue to be raised up and remain in its own place, from the Benjamin Gate to the place where the first 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.

The people will live in Jerusalem and there will be no more complete destruction from God against them. Jerusalem will live in safety.

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 with which Yahweh will attack all the peoples that waged war against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot away even as they are standing on their feet. Their eyes will rot in their sockets and 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 that great fear from Yahweh will come among them. Each one will seize the hand of another, and the hand of one will be raised up against the hand of another.

14 Ogsaa Juda skal stride i Jerusalem. Og alle Folkenes Rigdom skal samles trindt om fra, Guld, Sølv og Klæder i saare store Maader.

Judah will also fight against Jerusalem. They will gather the wealth of all the surrounding nations—gold, silver, and fine clothes in great abundance.

15 Og samme Plage skal ramme Heste, Muldyr, Kameler, Æsler og alt Kvæg i Lejrene der.

A plague will also be on the horses and the mules, the camels and the donkeys, and on every animal in those camps will also suffer that same plague.

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.

Then it will happen that all who remain in those nations that came against Jerusalem will instead go up from year to year to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, and to keep 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.

It will happen that if anyone from all the nations of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, then Yahweh will not bring rain on them.

18 Og dersom Ægyptens Slægt ikke drager derop og kommer derhen, saa skal de rammes af den Plage, HERREN lader ramme Folkene.

If the nation of Egypt does not go up, then they will not receive rain. A plague from Yahweh will attack the nations that do not go up to keep 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 for Egypt and the punishment for every nation that does not go up to keep the Festival of Shelters.

20 Paa hin Dag skal der staa paa Hestenes Bjælder »Helliget HERREN«. Og Gryderne i HERRENS Hus skal være som Offerskaalene for Alteret;

But on that day, the bells of the horses will say, “Set apart to Yahweh,” and the basins in Yahweh's house will be like the bowls before the altar.

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.

For every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be set apart to Yahweh of hosts and everyone who brings a sacrifice will eat from them and boil in them. On that day traders will no longer be in the house of Yahweh of hosts.
