< Zechariah 14 >

1 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.
Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthenya wa Jehova nĩũrooka, rĩrĩa indo cianyu igaatahwo na igayanĩrwo gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
2 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.
Nĩngongania ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ciũkĩrĩre itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, ihũũrane narĩo; itũũra rĩu inene nĩrĩkanyiitwo nĩ thũ, na indo cia nyũmba ciũngũrũrio nao andũ-a-nja manyiitwo na hinya. Andũ nuthu ya itũũra nĩmagathaamio, no andũ acio angĩ matikeherio itũũra-inĩ rĩu.
3 Then the Lord will go out to fight against the nations as he fights in times of war.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova nĩakoimagara, okĩrĩre ndũrĩrĩ icio arũe nacio, o ta ũrĩa arũaga mũthenya wa mbaara.
4 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.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, Jehova nĩakarũgama Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ, mwena wa irathĩro wa Jerusalemu. Nakĩo Kĩrĩma kĩu kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ nĩgĩgatũkana maita meerĩ kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro; naho hagĩe mũkuru mũnene, nuthu ĩmwe ya kĩrĩma ĩthiĩ mwena wa gathigathini, nayo nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩthiĩ mwena wa gũthini.
5 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.
Mũkoorĩra mũkuru-inĩ ũcio wa kĩrĩma gĩakwa tondũ ũgaakinya o Azeli. Mũkoora o ta ũrĩa mworĩire gĩthingithia matukũ-inĩ ma Uzia, mũthamaki wa Juda. Nake Jehova Ngai wakwa nĩagooka, arĩ hamwe na andũ arĩa atheru othe.
6 On that day there will be no longer cold and frost.
Mũthenya ũcio gũtigakorwo na ũtheri kana heho o na kana mbaa.
7 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.
Ũcio ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũthenya wa mwanya, ũtarĩ mũthenya kana ũtukũ, mũthenya ũũĩo nĩ Jehova. Hwaĩ-inĩ wakinya, nĩgũkagĩa na ũtheri.
8 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.
Mũthenya ũcio maaĩ ma muoyo nĩmagatherera moimĩte Jerusalemu; nuthu yamo yerekere iria-inĩ rĩa mwena wa irathĩro, nayo nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ yerekere iria-inĩ rĩa mwena wa ithũĩro. Maaĩ macio magathereraga hĩndĩ ya ũrugarĩ na hĩndĩ ya heho.
9 The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one true Lord, and his name the only one.
Jehova nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũthamaki wa thĩ yothe. Mũthenya ũcio gũgaakorwo Jehova arĩ o we wiki, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩkorwo no rĩo riiki.
10 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.
Bũrũri wothe kuuma Geba nginya Rimoni, mwena wa gũthini wa Jerusalemu, ũkaahaana ta Araba. No rĩrĩ, itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu nĩrĩgatũũgĩrio na rĩtũũre o hau rĩrĩ, kuuma Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Benjamini nginya harĩa Kĩhingo kĩa Mbere kĩrĩ, o nginya Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Koine, na kuuma mũthiringo ũrĩa mũraaya na igũrũ wa Hananeli gũthiĩ nginya ihihĩro-inĩ cia ndibei cia mũthamaki.
11 It will be inhabited and never again condemned to destruction again—people will be able to live in safety in Jerusalem.
Itũũra rĩu rĩgaatuĩka rĩa gũtũũrwo; rĩtikaanangwo hĩndĩ ĩngĩ. Itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩgaatũũra rĩtarĩ na ũgwati.
12 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.
Na rĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo mũthiro ũrĩa Jehova akaahũũra ndũrĩrĩ ciothe naguo, iria cianarũa na Jerusalemu: Mĩĩrĩ yao ĩkaabuthaga o marũgamĩte na magũrũ mao, maitho mao namo mabuthĩre marima-inĩ mamo, nacio nĩmĩ ciao ikaabutha irĩ tũnua-inĩ twao.
13 On that day the Lord will strike them with a terrible panic, and they will seize one another, and fight hand-to-hand.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, Jehova nĩakahũũra andũ na kĩmako kĩnene. O mũndũ nĩakaguthũkĩra guoko kwa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ akũnyiite, nao matharĩkanĩre marũe.
14 Even Judah will fight in Jerusalem. The wealth of the surrounding nations shall be collected: lots of gold, silver, and clothes.
Andũ a Juda o nao nĩmakarũĩra kũu Jerusalemu. Ũtonga wa ndũrĩrĩ iria irigiicĩirie kũu nĩũkonganio, naguo nĩ ũtonga mũingĩ wa thahabu, na wa betha na wa nguo.
15 A similar plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all other animals that may be in their camps.
Mũthiro o ta ũcio nĩũkaniina mbarathi na nyũmbũ, na ngamĩĩra na ndigiri, na nyamũ ciothe iria igaakorwo kambĩ-inĩ icio.
16 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.
Ningĩ-rĩ, matigari ma ndũrĩrĩ icio ciothe iria cianatharĩkĩra Jerusalemu makaambataga mwaka o mwaka kũhooya Mũthamaki, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, na gũkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ.
17 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.
Kũngĩkaagĩa andũ gũkũ thĩ matakaambata Jerusalemu kũhooya Mũthamaki, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, kwao gũtikoira mbura.
18 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.
Andũ a Misiri mangĩkaaga gũthiĩ kũnyiitanĩra na arĩa angĩ-rĩ, kwao gũtikoira mbura. Jehova nĩakamarehera mũthiro ũrĩa ahũũraga ndũrĩrĩ naguo iria itaambataga gũkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ kĩu gĩa Ithũnũ.
19 This will be the punishment on Egypt and all the nations if they do not go to Jerusalem and celebrate.
Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ iherithia rĩa bũrũri wa Misiri, o na rĩa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria itaambataga igathiĩ gũkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ kĩu gĩa Ithũnũ.
20 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.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, mbugi cia mbarathi ikaandĩkwo, ICI CIAMŨRĨIRWO JEHOVA, nacio nyũngũ cia kũruga iria irĩ nyũmba ya Jehova thĩinĩ igaatuĩka ta mbakũri iria nyamũre irĩ mbere ya kĩgongona.
21 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.
Nyũngũ o yothe ĩrĩ kũu Jerusalemu na Juda ĩkaamũrĩrwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nao arĩa othe magookaga kũruta igongona-rĩ, makooyaga nyũngũ imwe cia cio makaruga nacio. Na mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, gũtigacooka kũgĩa na mwonjorithia thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
