Zechariah 14
1 Behold, the day cometh for Jehovah, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Siku ya Bwana inakuja ambayo nyara zilizotekwa kwenu zitagawanywa miongoni mwenu.
2 And I will assemble all the nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity; and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Nitayakusanya mataifa yote huko Yerusalemu kupigana dhidi yake, mji utatekwa, nyumba zitavamiwa na kuporwa na wanawake watanajisiwa. Nusu ya mji watakwenda uhamishoni, lakini watakaobaki hawataondolewa kutoka mjini.
3 And Jehovah will go forth and fight with those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Kisha Bwana atatoka na kupigana dhidi ya watu wa yale mataifa, kama apiganavyo siku ya vita.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem toward the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, — a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Siku hiyo miguu yake itasimama juu ya Mlima wa Mizeituni, mashariki mwa Yerusalemu, nao Mlima wa Mizeituni utagawanyika mara mbili kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi, ukifanya bonde kubwa, nusu ya mlima ukisogea kuelekea kaskazini na nusu kuelekea kusini.
5 And ye shall flee [by] the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: ye shall even flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And Jehovah my God shall come, [and] all the holy ones with thee.
Nanyi mtakimbia kupitia katika bonde hilo la mlima wangu kwa kuwa litaenea hadi Aseli. Mtakimbia kama mlivyokimbia tetemeko la ardhi katika siku za Uzia mfalme wa Yuda. Kisha Bwana Mungu wangu atakuja na watakatifu wote pamoja naye.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] there shall not be light; the shining shall be obscured.
Siku hiyo hakutakuwepo nuru, baridi wala theluji.
7 And it shall be one day which is known to Jehovah, not day, and not night; and it shall come to pass, at eventide it shall be light.
Itakuwa siku ya kipekee, isiyo na mchana wala usiku, siku ijulikanayo na Bwana. Jioni inapofika nuru itakuwepo.
8 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 hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
Siku hiyo, maji yaliyo hai yatatiririka kutoka Yerusalemu, nusu kwenda kwenye bahari ya mashariki, na nusu kwenda kwenye bahari ya magharibi wakati wa kiangazi na wakati wa masika.
9 And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Jehovah, and his name one.
Bwana atakuwa mfalme juu ya dunia yote. Katika siku hiyo atakuwepo Bwana mmoja na jina lake litakuwa jina pekee.
10 All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem shall be turned as the Arabah; and [Jerusalem] shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her own place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner-gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
Nchi yote kuanzia Geba, kaskazini mwa Yuda, hadi Rimoni, kusini mwa Yerusalemu, itakuwa kama Araba. Lakini Yerusalemu utainuliwa juu na kubaki mahali pake, toka Lango la Benyamini hadi mahali pa Lango la Kwanza, mpaka kwenye Lango la Pembeni na kutoka Mnara wa Hananeli hadi kwenye mashinikizo ya divai ya mfalme.
11 And [men] shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; and Jerusalem shall dwell safely.
Utakaliwa na watu, kamwe hautaharibiwa tena, Yerusalemu utakaa salama.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Hii ndiyo tauni ambayo Bwana atapiga nayo mataifa yote ambayo yalipigana dhidi ya Yerusalemu: Nyama ya miili yao itaoza wangali wamesimama kwa miguu yao, macho yao yataoza kwenye matundu yake na ndimi zao zitaoza vinywani mwao.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] a great panic from Jehovah shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Katika siku hiyo Bwana atawatia wanaume hofu kuu. Kila mwanaume atakamata mkono wa mwenzake nao watashambuliana.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together — gold, and silver, and garments, in great abundance.
Yuda pia atapigana katika Yerusalemu. Utajiri wa mataifa yote yanayoizunguka Yerusalemu utakusanywa, wingi wa dhahabu, fedha na nguo.
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, as this plague.
Tauni ya aina iyo hiyo itapiga farasi na nyumbu, ngamia na punda, nao wanyama wote walioko kwenye kambi za adui.
16 And it shall come to pass, that all that are left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
Kisha walionusurika katika mataifa yote ambayo yaliushambulia Yerusalemu watakuwa wakipanda Yerusalemu kila mwaka kumwabudu Mfalme, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote na kuadhimisha Sikukuu ya Vibanda.
17 And it shall be, that whoso goeth not up of the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, upon them shall be no rain.
Ikiwa taifa lolote la dunia hawatakwenda Yerusalemu kumwabudu Mfalme, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, mvua haitanyesha kwao.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, neither [shall it be] upon them; [there] shall be the plague, wherewith Jehovah will smite the nations that go not up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
Ikiwa watu wa Misri nao hawatakwenda kushiriki, hawatapata mvua. Bwana ataleta juu yao tauni ile ambayo itawapiga mataifa yale ambayo hayatakwenda kuadhimisha Sikukuu ya Vibanda.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
Hii itakuwa adhabu ya Misri na adhabu ya mataifa yote yale ambayo hayatakwenda Yerusalemu kuadhimisha Sikukuu ya Vibanda.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO JEHOVAH; and the pots in Jehovah's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
Katika siku hiyo, kengele zilizofungwa kwenye farasi zitaandikwa maneno haya: Takatifu kwa Bwana, navyo vyungu vya kupikia katika nyumba ya Bwana vitakuwa kama bakuli takatifu mbele ya madhabahu.
21 And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto Jehovah of hosts; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein. And in that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah of hosts.
Kila chungu kilichoko Yerusalemu na Yuda kitakuwa kitakatifu kwa Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote na wote wanaokuja kutoa dhabihu watachukua baadhi ya vyungu hivyo na kupikia. Katika siku hiyo hatakuwepo tena mfanyabiashara katika nyumba ya Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
