Zechariah 14

1 There! a day [is] coming of Yahweh and it will be divided plunder your in midst your.

Listen! It will soon be the time when Yahweh [will judge everyone]. At that time, the possessions that were taken from you [people of Jerusalem by your enemies will be returned to you, and] will be divided among you.

2 And I will gather all the nations - to Jerusalem for battle and it will be captured the city and they will be plundered the houses and the women (they will be lain with *Q(K)*) and it will go out half of the city in exile and [the] rest of the people not it will be cut off from the city.

[Before that happens, ] Yahweh will cause [the armies of] many [HYP] nations to attack Jerusalem. They will capture the city and steal all the valuable things from your houses and rape the women. They will take half of the people to other countries, but the other half of the people will be allowed to remain in the city.

3 And he will go forth Yahweh and he will fight against the nations those like [the] day (fought he *L(abh)*) in a day of battle.

Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.

4 And they will stand feet his on the day that on [the] mountain of Olives which [is] on [the] face of Jerusalem from [the] east and it will be split open [the] mountain of Olives from middle its east-ward and west-ward a valley great very and it will depart half of the mountain north-ward and half of it south-ward.

On that day, he will stand on Olive [Tree] Hill, east of Jerusalem. Olive [Tree] Hill will be split into two [parts], with a large valley between the parts. Half of the hill will move toward the north and half [will move] toward the south.

5 And you will flee [the] valley of mountains my for it will reach [the] valley of mountains to Azal and you will flee just as you fled from before the earthquake in [the] days of Uzziah [the] king of Judah and he will come Yahweh God my all holy [ones] [will be] with you.

People will flee through that valley which extends to the other side (OR, to Azel), like [SIM] people fled when there was an earthquake during the time that King Uzziah ruled Judah. Then Yahweh my God will come with his holy [angels].

6 And it will be on the day that not it will be light splendid [ones] (and frost. *Q(K)*)

At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.

7 And it will be a day one it it will be known to Yahweh not day and not night and it will be to [the] time of evening it will be light.

There has been no other time like that time, and only Yahweh knows when it will happen. There will be no daytime or nighttime; there will be [light continually], [even] in the evening.

8 And it will be - on the day that they will go out waters living from Jerusalem half of them to the sea eastern and half of them to the sea western in the summer and in the winter it will be.

At that time, running/fresh water will flow from Jerusalem. One stream will flow toward the east to the [Dead] Sea. The other stream will flow toward the west to the [Mediterranean] Sea. The water will flow [all the time], during (summer/the hot season) as well as in (winter/the cold season).

9 And he will become Yahweh king over all the earth on the day that he will be Yahweh one and name his one.

After that time, Yahweh will be the king [who rules] the entire world. [Everyone will know that] Yahweh, and only Yahweh [MTY], is the true God.

10 It will change all the land like the Arabah from Geba to Rimmon [the] south of Jerusalem and it will rise and it will remain in place its from [the] gate of Benjamin to [the] place of [the] gate first to [the] gate of the corners and [the] tower of Hananel to [the] wine-presses of the king.

[At that time, ] all the land [in Judah] from Geba [town at the north] to Rimmon [town far to] the south of Jerusalem, will become a plain. Jerusalem will remain raised up like it has always been. [It will extend] from the Benjamin Gate and the First Gate [northeast] to the Tower of Hananel, and to the king’s winepresses [to the southwest].

11 And people will dwell in it and total destruction not it will be again and it will remain Jerusalem to security.

Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.

12 And this - it will be the plague which he will strike Yahweh all the peoples which they have waged war on Jerusalem he will cause to rot - flesh its and it [is] standing on feet its and eyes its they will rot in sockets their and tongue its it will rot in mouth their.

But Yahweh will cause the people in all the nations that attacked Jerusalem to be afflicted by a (plague/severe illness). Their flesh will rot while they are still standing up. Their eyes will rot in their sockets and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

13 And it will be on the day that it will be a panic of Yahweh great among them and they will take hold of each [the] hand of neighbor his and it will go up hand his on [the] hand of neighbor his.

At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.

14 And also Judah it will fight at Jerusalem and it will be gathered [the] wealth of all the nations all around gold and silver and garments to abundance very great.

[The people who live in other places in] Judah will fight to defend Jerusalem. They will collect the valuable things from the surrounding nations—a lot of gold and silver and clothes.

15 And thus it will be [the] plague of the horse the mule the camel and the donkey and all the livestock which it will be in the camps those like the plague this.

The same plague [that will afflict the people of other nations] will afflict their horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the other work animals in their (camps/places where they have set up their tents).

16 And it will be every [one who] remains of all the nations which came on Jerusalem and they will go up as often as a year in a year to bow down to [the] king Yahweh of hosts and to celebrate a festival [the] festival of Tabernacles.

The people of other nations who [previously] came [to fight] against Jerusalem, all those who are still alive, will return to Jerusalem every year to worship the King, the Commander of the armies of angels, and to celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.

17 And it will be [one] who not he will go up from with [the] clans of the earth to Jerusalem to bow down to [the] king Yahweh of hosts and not on them it will be rain.

If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.

18 And if [the] clan of Egypt not it will go up and not [is] going and not on them it will be the plague which he will strike Yahweh the nations which not they will go up to celebrate a festival [the] festival of Tabernacles.

If the people of Egypt [or any other nation] do not go to Jerusalem, [they will not have any rain]. And Yahweh will cause them to experience the same plague that afflicted the [people of other] nations that did not celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.

19 This it will be [the] punishment for sin of Egypt and [the] punishment for sin of all the nations which not they will go up to celebrate a festival [the] festival of Tabernacles.

That is how [Yahweh] will punish [the people of] Egypt and [the people of] any [other] nation who do not go [to Jerusalem] to celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.

20 On the day that it will be on [the] bells of the horse[s] holiness to Yahweh and it will be the pots in [the] house of Yahweh [will be] like the bowls before the altar.

At that time, [the words] ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ will be written on the bells that are fastened to the horses. The [cooking] pots in [the courtyard of the] temple will be [sacred], like the bowls that are near the altar.

21 And it will be every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah a holy thing to Yahweh of hosts and they will come all those [who] sacrifice and they will take some of them and they will boil in them and not [he] will be a Canaanite again in [the] house of Yahweh of hosts on the day that.

Every pot in Jerusalem and [in other places in] Judah will be dedicated to the Commander of the armies of angels. So everyone who offers sacrifices [there in Jerusalem] will be able to take some of the meat that has been brought for sacrifices, and cook it in their own pots. And at that time, people will no longer buy or sell things in [the courtyard of] the temple of the Commander of the armies of angels.
