< Zakarias 14 >
1 Se, en Dag kommer, HERRENs Dag, da dit Bytte skal deles i dig.
Behold, a day is coming unto the Lord, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 Da samler jeg alle Folkene til Angreb på Jerusalem; Byen indtages, Husene plyndres, Kvinderne skændes, og Halvdelen af Byens Indbyggere vandrer i Landflygtighed; men Resten af Folket skal ikke udryddes af Byen.
And I will assemble all the nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be captured, and the houses plundered, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into exile, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Og HERREN drager ud og strider mod disse Folk, som han fordum stred på Kampens bag.
Then will the Lord go forth, and fight against these nations, as on the day when he fought on the day of battle.
4 På hin Dag står hans Fødder på 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.
And his feet will stand on that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall be split in twain in its middle eastward and westward, making a very great valley; and half of the mount shall remove northward, and half of it southward.
5 I skal flygte til mine Bjerges Dal, thi Bjergdalen når til Azal. I skal fly, som l flyede for Jordskælvet i Kong Uzzija af Judas Dage. Og HERREN min Gud kommer og alle de Hellige med ham.
And ye shall flee [from] the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal; and ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah: and then will come the Lord my God, and all the saints with thee.
6 På hin Dag skal der ikke være Hede eller Kulde og Frost.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that there shall be no light, but fleeting light and thick darkness;
7 Det skal være een eneste Dag - HERREN kender den - ikke Dag og Nat; det skal være lyst ved Aftentide.
But it shall be one particular day which shall indeed be known as the Lord's, neither day nor night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening-time there shall be light.
8 På 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 både Sommer og Vinter.
And it shall happen on that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, the half of them toward the eastern sea, and the other half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be so.
9 Og HERREN skal være Konge over hele Jorden. På hin Dag skal HERREN være een og hans Navn eet.
And the Lord will be king over all the earth: on that day shall the Lord be [acknowledged] one, and his name be one.
10 Og hele Landet bliver en Slette fra Geba til Rimmon i Sydlandet; men Jerusalem skal ligge højt på sit gamle Sted. Fra Benjaminsporten til den gamle Ports Sted, til Hjørneporten, og fra Hanan'eltårnet til de kongelige Vinperser skal det være beboet.
All the land shall be changed as it were into a plain from Geba' to Rimmon to the south of Jerusalem; and she herself shall be elevated, and be inhabited on her former site, from the gate of Benjamin unto the place of the first gate, up to the corner gate, and from the tower of Chananel unto the king's wine-presses.
11 Der skal ikke mere lægges Band derpå, og Jerusalem skal ligge trygt.
And men shall dwell in it, and no destruction shall any more take place; but Jerusalem shall be inhabited in safety.
12 Men dette skal være den Plage, HERREN lader ramme alle de Folkeslag, som drager i Leding mod Jerusalem: han lader Kødet rådne på dem i levende Live, Øjnene rådner i deres Øjenhuler og Tungen i deres Mund.
And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will afflict all the people that shall have come to battle against Jerusalem: The flesh of every one shall consume away while he standeth upon his feet, and his eyes shall consume away in their holes, and the tongue of every one shall consume away in his mouth.
13 På hin Dag skal en vældig HERRENs Rædsel opstå iblandt dem, så de griber fat i og løfter Hånd mod hverandre.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that a great confusion from the Lord shall be among them: 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 Også Juda skal stride i Jerusalem. Og alle Folkenes Rigdom skal samles trindt om fra, Guld, Sølv og Klæder i såre store Måder.
And also Judah will have to fight against Jerusalem: and there shall be gathered together the wealth of all the nations round about, gold, and silver, and garments, in great abundance.
15 Og samme Plage skal ramme Heste, Muldyr, Kameler, Æsler og alt Kvæg i Lejrene der.
And thus shall be the plague of the horses, of the mules, of the camels, and of the asses, and of all the beasts that will be in these camps, just like this plague.
16 Men alle de, der bliver tilbage af alle Folkene, som kommer imod Jerusalem, skal År efter År drage derop for at tilbede Kongen, Hærskarers HERRE, og fejre Løvhyttefest.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left out of all the nations who will have come against Jerusalem, yea, these shall go up year by year to bow down before the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
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.
And it shall happen, that whoso will not come up out of the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to bow down before the King, the Lord of hosts, —even upon these there shall be no rain.
18 Og dersom Ægyptens Slægt ikke drager derop og kommer derhen, så skal de rammes af den Plage, HERREN lader ramme Folkene.
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, then shall not [any rain fall] upon them also: this shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will afflict the nations that will not come up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
19 Det er Straffen over Ægypterne og alle de Folk, som ikke drager op for at fejre Løvhyttefest.
This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that will not come up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
20 På hin Dag skal der stå på Hestenes Bjælder "Helliget HERREN". Og Gryderne i HERRENs Hus skal være som Offerskålene for Alteret;
On that day shall [every thing], even to the bells of the horses, be holy unto the Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 hver Gryde i Jerusalem og Juda skal være helliget Hærskarers HERRE, så alle de ofrende kan komme og tage af dem og koge deri. Og på hin Dag skal der ikke mere være nogen Kana'anæer i Hærskarers HERREs Hus.
And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy unto the Lord of hosts; and all those that sacrifice will come and take some of them, and seethe therein: and on that day there shall be no more any trader in the house of the Lord of host.
