Zechariah 14

1 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.

١ هُوَذَا يَوْمٌ لِلرَّبِّ يَأْتِي فَيُقْسَمُ سَلَبُكِ فِي وَسَطِكِ.

2 [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.

٢ وَأَجْمَعُ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ، فَتُؤْخَذُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ، وَتُنْهَبُ ٱلْبُيُوتُ، وَتُفْضَحُ ٱلنِّسَاءُ، وَيَخْرُجُ نِصْفُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ، وَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلشَّعْبِ لَا تُقْطَعُ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

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

٣ فَيَخْرُجُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَيُحَارِبُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأُمَمَ كَمَا فِي يَوْمِ حَرْبِهِ، يَوْمَ ٱلْقِتَالِ.

4 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.

٤ وَتَقِفُ قَدَمَاهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَلَى جَبَلِ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ ٱلَّذِي قُدَّامَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنَ ٱلشَّرْقِ، فَيَنْشَقُّ جَبَلُ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ مِنْ وَسَطِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ وَنَحْوَ ٱلْغَرْبِ وَادِيًا عَظِيمًا جِدًّا، وَيَنْتَقِلُ نِصْفُ ٱلْجَبَلِ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَنِصْفُهُ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ.

5 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].

٥ وَتَهْرُبُونَ فِي جِوَاءِ جِبَالِي، لِأَنَّ جِوَاءَ ٱلْجِبَالِ يَصِلُ إِلَى آصَلَ. وَتَهْرُبُونَ كَمَا هَرَبْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلزَّلْزَلَةِ فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا. وَيَأْتِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ مَعَكَ.

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

٦ وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ نُورٌ. ٱلْدَّرَارِي تَنْقَبِضُ.

7 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.

٧ وَيَكُونُ يَوْمٌ وَاحِدٌ مَعْرُوفٌ لِلرَّبِّ. لَا نَهَارَ وَلَا لَيْلَ، بَلْ يَحْدُثُ أَنَّهُ فِي وَقْتِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ يَكُونُ نُورٌ.

8 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).

٨ وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ مِيَاهًا حَيَّةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ نِصْفُهَا إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ، وَنِصْفُهَا إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْغَرْبِيِّ. فِي ٱلصَّيْفِ وَفِي ٱلْخَرِيفِ تَكُونُ.

9 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.

٩ وَيَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَلِكًا عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ وَٱسْمُهُ وَحْدَهُ.

10 [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].

١٠ وَتَتَحَوَّلُ ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا كَٱلْعَرَبَةِ مِنْ جَبْعَ إِلَى رِمُّونَ جَنُوبَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَتَرْتَفِعُ وَتُعْمَرُ فِي مَكَانِهَا، مِنْ بَابِ بَنْيَامِينَ إِلَى مَكَانِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، إِلَى بَابِ ٱلزَّوَايَا، وَمِنْ بُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ إِلَى مَعَاصِرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

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

١١ فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَكُونُ بَعْدُ لَعْنٌ. فَتُعْمَرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ بِٱلْأَمْنِ.

12 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.

١٢ وَهَذِهِ تَكُونُ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ ٱلَّتِي يَضْرِبُ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَجَنَّدُوا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. لَحْمُهُمْ يَذُوبُ وَهُمْ وَاقِفُونَ عَلَى أَقْدَامِهِمْ، وَعُيُونُهُمْ تَذُوبُ فِي أَوْقَابِهَا، وَلِسَانُهُمْ يَذُوبُ فِي فَمِهِمْ.

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

١٣ وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱضْطِرَابًا عَظِيمًا مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَحْدُثُ فِيهِمْ، فَيُمْسِكُ ٱلرَّجُلُ بِيَدِ قَرِيبِهِ وَتَعْلُو يَدُهُ عَلَى يَدِ قَرِيبِهِ.

14 [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.

١٤ وَيَهُوذَا أَيْضًا تُحَارِبُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَتُجْمَعُ ثَرْوَةُ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا: ذَهَبٌ وَفِضَّةٌ وَمَلَابِسُ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا.

15 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).

١٥ وَكَذَا تَكُونُ ضَرْبَةُ ٱلْخَيْلِ وَٱلْبِغَالِ وَٱلْجِمَالِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَكُلِّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَحَالِّ. كَهَذِهِ ٱلضَّرْبَةِ.

16 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.

١٦ وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْبَاقِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، يَصْعَدُونَ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ لِيَسْجُدُوا لِلْمَلِكِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ وَلِيُعَيِّدُوا عِيدَ ٱلْمَظَالِّ.

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

١٧ وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ لَا يَصْعَدُ مِنْ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَسْجُدَ لِلْمَلِكِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، لَا يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَطَرٌ.

18 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.

١٨ وَإِنْ لَا تَصْعَدْ وَلَا تَأْتِ قَبِيلَةُ مِصْرَ وَلَا مَطَرٌ عَلَيْهَا، تَكُنْ عَلَيْهَا ٱلضَّرْبَةُ ٱلَّتِي يَضْرِبُ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَصْعَدُونَ لِيُعَيِّدُوا عِيدَ ٱلْمَظَالِّ.

19 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.

١٩ هَذَا يَكُونُ قِصَاصُ مِصْرَ وَقِصَاصُ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَصْعَدُونَ لِيُعَيِّدُوا عِيدَ ٱلْمَظَالِّ.

20 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.

٢٠ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ عَلَى أَجْرَاسِ ٱلْخَيْلِ: «قُدْسٌ لِلرَّبِّ». وَٱلْقُدُورُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ تَكُونُ كَٱلْمَنَاضِحِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ.

21 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.

٢١ وَكُلُّ قِدْرٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَفِي يَهُوذَا تَكُونُ قُدْسًا لِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلذَّابِحِينَ يَأْتُونَ وَيَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهَا وَيَطْبُخُونَ فِيهَا. وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لَا يَكُونُ بَعْدُ كَنْعَانِيٌّ فِي بَيْتِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.
