< Zechariah 14 >
1 Look, a day of YHWH comes, when your spoil will be divided in your midst.
Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, When thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go out into captivity, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; And the city shall be taken, And the houses shall be rifled, And the women shall be 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.
3 Then YHWH will go out and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Then shall Jehovah go forth, And fight against those nations, As he once fought in the day of battle.
4 His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west, making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
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 be cloven in the middle of it, eastward and westward, Into a very great valley; And half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, And half of it toward the south.
5 Then you shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then YHWH my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
And ye shall flee through the valley of my mountains, For the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal; Yea, ye shall flee, as ye fled before the earthquake In the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Jehovah, my God, will come, And all his holy ones with him.
6 It will happen in that day, that there will not be light, cold, or frost.
And it shall come to pass in that day That there shall he no light, but cold and ice;
7 It will be a unique day which is known to YHWH; not day, and not night; but it will come to pass, that at evening time there will be light.
And there shall be one day, (Known to Jehovah is it, ) It shall be neither day nor night; But at the time of evening there shall be light.
8 It will happen in that day, that living waters will go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter will it be.
And it shall come to pass in that day That living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea, And half of them toward the western sea; In summer and in winter shall they be.
9 YHWH will be King over all the earth. In that day YHWH will be one, and his name one.
And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth; In that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one.
10 All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon in the Negev. Jerusalem will be lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate to the place of the first gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.
The whole land shall be turned into a plain, From Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem; And the city shall be exalted and inhabited in her place, From the gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, And to the corner gate, And from the tower of Hananeel to the king's wine-presses.
11 Men will dwell in it, and there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely.
Men shall dwell therein, And there shall be no more destruction; But Jerusalem shall dwell securely.
12 This will be the plague with which YHWH will strike all the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth.
And this shall be the plague With which Jehovah will smite all the nations Which warred against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, And their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, And their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 It will happen in that day, that a great panic from YHWH will be among them; and they will lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
And it shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a great tumult among them from Jehovah; 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.
14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together: gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance.
And Judah also shall fight against Jerusalem; But the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together, Gold and silver and apparel in great abundance.
15 So will be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the donkey, and of all the animals that will be in those camps, as that plague.
And so shall be the plague of the horse, Of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, And of every beast which shall be in those camps, Even as this plague.
16 It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, YHWH of hosts, and to keep the feast of booths.
And it shall be, that every one that is left Of all the nations which come against Jerusalem, Even they shall go up, from year to year, To worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, And to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 It will be, that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn't go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, YHWH of hosts, on them there will be no rain.
And it shall be that whoso will not go up, Of the families of the earth, to Jerusalem, To worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, Upon them shall be no rain.
18 If the family of Egypt doesn't go up and enter in, on them will be the plague with which YHWH will strike the nations that do not go up to keep the feast of booths.
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, Then not for them shall there be water. The plague shall come upon them With which Jehovah shall smite the nations Which go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to keep the feast of booths.
This shall be the punishment of Egypt, And the punishment of all the nations That come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day there will be on the bells of the horses, "HOLY TO YHWH;" and the pots in YHWH's house will be like the bowls before the altar.
In that day, upon the bells of the horses Shall be written, “Holy to Jehovah.” And the pots in the house of Jehovah Shall be as the bowls before the altar.
21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to YHWH of hosts; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of YHWH of hosts.
And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah Shall be holy to Jehovah of hosts; And all that sacrifice shall come, And shall take of them, and seethe therein. And there shall be no more a trader In the house of Jehovah of hosts, in that day.
