Zechariah 14
1 Behold, a day is coming unto the Lord, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Khangela, usuku lweNkosi luyeza, lempango yakho izakwehlukaniswa phakathi kwakho.
2 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.
Ngoba ngizabuthanisa zonke izizwe zimelane leJerusalema empini; njalo umuzi uzathunjwa, lezindlu ziphangwe, labesifazana badlwengulwe; lengxenye yomuzi izaphuma iye ekuthunjweni, kodwa insali yabantu kayiyikuqunywa isuke emzini.
3 Then will the Lord go forth, and fight against these nations, as on the day when he fought on the day of battle.
Khona iNkosi izaphuma, ilwe imelene lalezozizwe, njengamhla isilwa ngosuku lwempi.
4 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.
Langalolosuku inyawo zayo zizakuma entabeni yeMihlwathi, emaqondana leJerusalema ngasempumalanga; lentaba yeMihlwathi izaqhekezeka phakathi kwayo ngasempumalanga langasentshonalanga, kube lesihotsha esikhulukazi; lengxenye yentaba izatshedela ngasenyakatho, lengxenye yayo ngaseningizimu.
5 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.
Lizabaleka-ke ngesihotsha sezintaba zami; ngoba isihotsha sezintaba sizafinyelela eAzali. Yebo, lizabaleka njengokubaleka kwenu phambi kokuzamazama komhlaba ngezinsuku zikaUziya inkosi yakoJuda. Khona iNkosi uNkulunkulu wami izafika, labo bonke abangcwele belawe.
6 And it shall come to pass on that day, that there shall be no light, but fleeting light and thick darkness;
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku kungabi khona ukukhanya, kumbe mnyama.
7 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.
Kodwa kuzakuba lusuku olulodwa oluzakwaziwa eNkosini, kungabi yimini, kungabi yibusuku; kodwa kuzakuthi ngesikhathi sakusihlwa kube khona ukukhanya.
8 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.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, amanzi aphilayo aphume eJerusalema; ingxenye yawo iye ngaselwandle lwasempumalanga, lengxenye yawo iye ngaselwandle lwentshonalanga; kuzakuba khona ehlobo lebusika.
9 And the Lord will be king over all the earth: on that day shall the Lord be [acknowledged] one, and his name be one.
Njalo uJehova uzakuba yiNkosi phezu komhlaba wonke; ngalolosuku kuzakuba leNkosi eyodwa, lebizo layo libe linye.
10 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.
Ilizwe lonke lizaphendulwa libe njengegceke kusukela eGeba kuze kube seRimoni eningizimu kweJerusalema; liphakanyiswe, lihlale endaweni yalo, kusukela esangweni lakoBhenjamini kuze kube sendaweni yesango lokuqala, kuze kube sesangweni lengonsi, njalo kusukela emphotshongweni kaHananeli kuze kube sezikhamelweni zewayini zenkosi.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and no destruction shall any more take place; but Jerusalem shall be inhabited in safety.
Njalo bazahlala kilo, kungabe kusaba khona ukutshabalala; kodwa iJerusalema izahlala ivikelekile.
12 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.
Lalokhu kuzakuba yinhlupheko iNkosi ezatshaya ngayo zonke izizwe ezilwe zimelene leJerusalema: Izabolisa inyama yazo zisemi ngenyawo zazo, lamehlo azo abolele ezikhoxweni zawo, lolimi lwazo lubolele emlonyeni wazo.
13 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.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, isiphithiphithi esikhulu seNkosi sibe phakathi kwabo; babambe ngulowo lalowo isandla sikamakhelwane wakhe, futhi isandla sakhe siphakamele ukumelana lesandla sikamakhelwane wakhe.
14 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.
LoJuda laye uzakulwa eJerusalema; lenotho yazo zonke izizwe ezizingelezeleyo izabuthwa, igolide lesiliva lezembatho ngobunengi obukhulu.
15 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.
Izakuba njalo-ke inhlupheko yebhiza, eyembongolo, eyekamela, lekababhemi, leyazo zonke inyamazana ezizakuba kulezizinkamba, njengaleyonhlupheko.
16 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.
Kuzakuthi-ke, bonke abaseleyo ezizweni zonke ezazize ukumelana leJerusalema benyuke iminyaka ngeminyaka ukuyakhonza iNkosi, uJehova wamabandla, lokugcina umkhosi wamadumba.
17 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.
Kuzakuthi-ke loba ngubani ongayikwenyuka kuzo insapho zomhlaba aye eJerusalema ukukhonza iNkosi, uJehova wamabandla, kakuyikuba khona izulu phezu kwabo.
18 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.
Futhi uba usapho lweGibhithe lungenyuki luze, kakuyikuba lezulu phezu kwalo, kuzakuba lenhlupheko iNkosi ezatshaya ngayo izizwe ezingenyukeli ukuyagcina umkhosi wamadumba.
19 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.
Lokhu kuzakuba yisijeziso sesono seGibhithe, lesijeziso sesono sazo zonke izizwe ezingenyukeli ukugcina umkhosi wamadumba.
20 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.
Ngalolosuku kuzakuba semabhereni amabhiza: UBUNGCWELE KUJEHOVA; lezimbiza endlini yeNkosi zizakuba njengemiganu yokufafaza phambi kwelathi.
21 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.
Yebo, yileyo laleyo imbiza eJerusalema lakoJuda izakuba yibungcwele eNkosini yamabandla, njalo bonke abenza umhlatshelo bazakuza bathathe kuzo, bapheke kuzo. Njalo kakusayikuba khona umKhanani endlini yeNkosi yamabandla ngalolosuku.
