Zechariah 14

1 Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, When 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 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.

Da samler jeg alle Folkene til Angreb på 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 Jehovah go forth, And fight against those nations, As he once fought in the day of battle.

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

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 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.

På hin Dag står hans Fødder på 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 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.

I skal flygte til mine Bjerges Dal, thi Bjergdalen når til Azal. I skal fly, som l 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 there shall he no light, but cold and ice;

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

7 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.

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

8 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.

På 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 både Sommer og Vinter.

9 And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth; In that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one.

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

10 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.

Og hele Landet bliver en Slette fra Geba til Rimmon i Sydlandet; men Jerusalem skal ligge højt på sit gamle Sted. Fra Benjaminsporten til den gamle Ports Sted, til Hjørneporten, og fra Hanan'eltårnet til de kongelige Vinperser skal det være beboet.

11 Men shall dwell therein, And there shall be no more destruction; But Jerusalem shall dwell securely.

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

12 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.

Men dette skal være den Plage, HERREN lader ramme alle de Folkeslag, som drager i Leding mod Jerusalem: han lader Kødet rådne på dem i levende Live, Øjnene rådner i deres Øjenhuler og Tungen i deres Mund.

13 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.

På hin Dag skal en vældig HERRENs Rædsel opstå iblandt dem, så de griber fat i og løfter Hånd mod hverandre.

14 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.

Også Juda skal stride i Jerusalem. Og alle Folkenes Rigdom skal samles trindt om fra, Guld, Sølv og Klæder i såre store Måder.

15 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.

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

16 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.

Men alle de, der bliver tilbage af alle Folkene, som kommer imod Jerusalem, skal År efter År drage derop for at tilbede Kongen, Hærskarers HERRE, og fejre Løvhyttefest.

17 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.

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, 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.

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

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, And the punishment of all the 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, 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.

På hin Dag skal der stå på Hestenes Bjælder "Helliget HERREN". Og Gryderne i HERRENs Hus skal være som Offerskålene for Alteret;

21 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.

hver Gryde i Jerusalem og Juda skal være helliget Hærskarers HERRE, så alle de ofrende kan komme og tage af dem og koge deri. Og på hin Dag skal der ikke mere være nogen Kana'anæer i Hærskarers HERREs Hus.
