Zechariah 14

1 Behold, a day has come to YHWH, And your spoil has been divided in your midst.

Behold, the days of the Lord will arrive, and your spoils will be divided in your midst.

2 And I have gathered all the nations to Jerusalem to battle, And the city has been captured, And the houses have been spoiled, And the women are lain with, Half the city has gone forth in a removal, And the remnant of the people are not cut off from the city.

And I will gather all the Gentiles in battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be captured, and the houses will be ravaged, and the women will be violated. And the central part of the city will go forth into captivity, and the remainder of the people will not be taken away from the city.

3 And YHWH has gone forth, And He has fought against those nations, As in the day of His fighting in a day of conflict.

Then the Lord will go forth, and he will fight against those Gentiles, just as when he fought in the day of conflict.

4 And His feet have stood, in that day, On the Mount of Olives, That [is] eastward before Jerusalem, And the Mount of Olives has been cleft at its midst, To the east, and to the west, a very great valley, And half of the mountain is removed toward the north, And half toward the south.

And his feet will stand firm, in that day, upon the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem towards the East. And the mount of Olives will be divided down its center part, towards the East and towards the West, with a very great rupture, and the center of the mountain will be separated towards the North, and its center towards the Meridian.

5 And you have fled [to] the valley of My mountains, For the valley of the mountains joins to Azal, And you have fled as you fled before the shaking, In the days of Uzziah king of Judah, And my God YHWH has come in, All holy ones [are] with You.

And you will flee to the valley of those mountains, because the valley of the mountains will be joined all the way to the next. And you will flee, just as you fled from the face of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And the Lord my God will arrive, and all the saints with him.

6 And it has come to pass in that day, The precious light is not, it is dense darkness,

And this shall be in that day: there will not be light, only cold and frost.

7 And there has been one day, It is known to YHWH, not day nor night, And it has been at evening-time—there is light.

And there will be one day, which is known to the Lord, not day and not night. And in the time of the evening, there will be light.

8 And it has come to pass in that day, Living waters go forth from Jerusalem, Half of them to the Eastern Sea, And half of them to the Western Sea, It is in summer and in winter.

And this shall be in that day: the living waters will go out from Jerusalem, half of them towards the East sea, and half of them towards the furthest sea. They will be in summer and in winter.

9 And YHWH has become King over all the earth, In that day YHWH is one, and His Name one.

And the Lord will be King over all the earth. In that day, there will be one Lord, and his name will be one.

10 All the land is changed as a plain, From Gebo to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, And she has been high, and has dwelt in her place, Even from the Gate of Benjamin To the place of the first gate, to the front gate, And from the Tower of Hananeel, To the wine-vats of the king.

And all the land will return even to the desert, from the hill of Rimmon to the South of Jerusalem. And she will be exalted, and she will dwell in her own place, from the gate of Benjamin even to the place of the former gate, and even to the gate of the corners, and from the tower of Hananel even to the pressing room of the king.

11 And they have dwelt in her, And destruction is no more, And Jerusalem has dwelt confidently.

And they will dwell in it, and there will be no further anathema, but Jerusalem shall sit securely.

12 And this is the plague with which YHWH plagues all the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem: He has consumed away its flesh, And it is standing on its feet, And its eyes are consumed in their holes, And its tongue is consumed in their mouth.

And this will be the plague by which the Lord will strike all the Gentiles that have fought against Jerusalem. The flesh of each one will waste away while they are standing on their feet, and their eyes will be consumed in their sockets, and their tongue will be consumed in their mouth.

13 And it has come to pass in that day, A great destruction [from] YHWH is among them, And they have each seized the hand of his neighbor, And his hand has gone up against the hand of his neighbor.

In that day, there will be a great tumult from the Lord among them. And a man will take the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will be clasped upon the hand of his neighbor.

14 And also Judah is fought with in Jerusalem, And the force of all the surrounding nations has been gathered, Gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

And even Judah will fight against Jerusalem. And the riches of all the Gentiles will be gathered together around them: gold, and silver, and more than enough garments.

15 And so is the plague of the horse, of the mule, Of the camel, and of the donkey, And of all the livestock that are in these camps, As this plague.

And, like the ruin of the horse, and the mule, and the camel, and the donkey, and all the beasts of burden, which will have been in those encampments, so will be this ruination.

16 And it has come to pass, Everyone who has been left of all the nations, Who are coming in against Jerusalem, They have also gone up from year to year, To bow themselves to the King, YHWH of Hosts, And to celebrate the Celebration of the Shelters.

And all those who will be the remnant of all the Gentiles that came against Jerusalem, will go up, from year to year, to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it has come to pass, That he who does not go up of the families of the land to Jerusalem, To bow himself to the King, YHWH of Hosts, Even on them there is no shower.

And this shall be: whoever will not go up, from the families of the earth to Jerusalem, so as to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, there will be no showers upon them.

18 And if the family of Egypt does not go up, nor come in, Then on them is the plague With which YHWH plagues the nations That do not go up to celebrate the Celebration of Shelters.

But if even the family of Egypt will go not up, nor approach, neither will it be upon them, but there will be ruin, by which the Lord will strike all the Gentiles, who will not go up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

19 This is the punishment of the sin of Egypt, And the punishment of the sin of all the nations, That do not go up to celebrate the Celebration of Shelters.

This will be the sin of Egypt, and this will be the sin of all the Gentiles, who will not go up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

20 In that day “Holy to YHWH” is [engraved] on bells of the horse, And the pots in the house of YHWH Have been as bowls before the altar.

In that day, that which is on the bridle of the horse will be holy to the Lord. And even the cooking pots in the house of the Lord will be like holy vessels before the altar.

21 And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah, Have been holy to YHWH of Hosts, And all those sacrificing have come in, And have taken of them, and boiled in them, And in that day there is no merchant anymore in the house of YHWH of Hosts!

And every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be sanctified to the Lord of hosts. And all those who make sacrifices will come and take from them, and will cook with them. And the merchant will no longer be in the house of the Lord of hosts, in that day.
