Zechariah 14

1 BEHOLD, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

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

2 For I will gather all 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 residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

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.

3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

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

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

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.

5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

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.

6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

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

7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

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

8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

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.

9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

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

10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her 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.

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.

11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

Der skal ikke mere lægges Band derpaa, og Jerusalem skal ligge trygt.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought 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.

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.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord 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.

Paa hin Dag skal en vældig HERRENS Rædsel opstaa iblandt dem, saa de griber fat i og løfter Haand mod hverandre.

14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

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

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 these tents, as this plague.

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

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

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.

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

Og dersom nogen af Jordens Slægter ikke drager op til Jerusalem for at tilbede Kongen, Hærskarers HERRE, skal der ikke falde Regn hos dem.

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

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

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Det er Straffen over Ægypterne og alle de Folk, som ikke drager op for at fejre Løvhyttefest.

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

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

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord 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 the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

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.
