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.
Ecce venient dies Domini, et dividentur spolia tua in medio tui.
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.
Et congregabo omnes Gentes ad Ierusalem in praelium, et capietur civitas, et vastabuntur domus, et mulieres violabuntur: et egredietur media pars civitatis in captivitatem, et reliquum populi non auferetur ex urbe.
3 Then the Lord will go out to fight against the nations as he fights in times of war.
Et egredietur Dominus, et praeliabitur contra Gentes illas, sicut praeliatus est in die certaminis.
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.
Et stabunt pedes eius in die illa super Montem olivarum, qui est contra Ierusalem ad Orientem: et scindetur Mons olivarum ex media parte sui ad Orientem, et ad Occidentem praerupto grandi valde, et separabitur medium montis ad Aquilonem, et medium eius ad Meridiem.
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.
Et fugietis ad vallem montium eorum, quoniam coniungetur vallis montium usque ad proximum: et fugietis sicut fugistis a facie terraemotus in diebus Oziae regis Iuda: et veniet Dominus Deus meus, omnesque sancti cum eo.
6 On that day there will be no longer cold and frost.
Et erit in die illa: Non erit lux, sed frigus et gelu.
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.
Et erit dies una, quae nota est Domino, non dies neque nox: et in tempore vesperi erit lux.
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.
Et erit in die illa: Exibunt aquae vivae de Ierusalem: medium earum ad mare Orientale, et medium earum ad mare novissimum: in aestate et in hieme erunt.
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.
Et erit Dominus Rex super omnem terram: in die illa erit Dominus unus, et erit nomen eius unum.
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.
Et revertetur omnis terra usque ad desertum, de colle Remmon ad Austrum Ierusalem: et exaltabitur, et habitabitur in loco suo a porta Beniamin usque ad locum portae prioris, et usque ad portam angulorum: et a turre Hananeel usque ad torcularia regis.
11 It will be inhabited and never again condemned to destruction again—people will be able to live in safety in Jerusalem.
Et habitabunt in ea, et anathema non erit amplius: sed sedebit Ierusalem secura.
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.
Et haec erit plaga, qua percutiet Dominus omnes Gentes, quae pugnaverunt adversus Ierusalem: Tabescet caro uniuscuiusque stantis super pedes suos, et oculi eius contabescent in foraminibus suis, et lingua eorum contabescet in ore suo.
13 On that day the Lord will strike them with a terrible panic, and they will seize one another, and fight hand-to-hand.
In die illa erit tumultus Domini magnus in eis: et apprehendet vir manum proximi sui, et conseretur manus eius super manum proximi sui.
14 Even Judah will fight in Jerusalem. The wealth of the surrounding nations shall be collected: lots of gold, silver, and clothes.
Sed et Iuda pugnabit adversus Ierusalem: et congregabuntur divitiae omnium Gentium in circuitu, aurum, et argentum, et vestes multae satis.
15 A similar plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all other animals that may be in their camps.
Et sic erit ruina equi, et muli, et cameli, et asini, et omnium iumentorum, quae fuerint in castris illis, sicut ruina haec.
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.
Et omnes, qui reliqui fuerint de universis Gentibus, quae venerunt contra Ierusalem, ascendent ab anno in annum, ut adorent Regem, Dominum exercituum, et celebrent festivitatem tabernaculorum.
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.
Et erit: Qui non ascenderit de familiis terrae ad Ierusalem, ut adoret Regem, Dominum exercituum, non erit super eos imber.
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.
Quod et si familia Aegypti non ascenderit, et non venerit: nec super eos erit, sed erit ruina, qua percutiet Dominus omnes Gentes, quae non ascenderint ad celebrandam festivitatem tabernaculorum.
19 This will be the punishment on Egypt and all the nations if they do not go to Jerusalem and celebrate.
Hoc erit peccatum Aegypti, et hoc peccatum omnium Gentium, quae non ascenderint ad celebrandam festivitatem tabernaculorum.
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.
In die illa erit quod super frenum equi est, sanctum Domino: et erunt lebetes in domo Domini quasi phialae coram altari.
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.
Et erit omnis lebes in Ierusalem, et in Iuda sanctificatus Domino exercituum: et venient omnes immolantes, et sument ex eis, et coquent in eis: et non erit mercator ultra in domo Domini exercituum in die illo.
