< 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.
Se, en Dag kommer for Herren, og dit Bytte skal deles i din Midte.
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.
Og jeg vil sanke alle Hedningefolkene imod Jerusalem til Krigen, og Staden skal indtages og Husene plyndres og Kvinderne skændes; og Halvdelen af Staden skal gaa ud i Landflygtighed, men det overblevne af Folket skal ikke udryddes af Staden.
3 Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
Og Herren skal drage ud og stride imod disse Hedningefolk som den Dag, da han stred paa Krigens Dag.
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.
Og hans Fødder skulle paa den Dag staa paa Oliebjerget, som er lige over for Jerusalem imod Østen, og Oliebjerget skal revne fra dets Midte af i Øst og Vest, saa der bliver en saare stor Dal, og Halvdelen af Bjerget skal vige imod Nord, og dets anden Halvdel imod Syd.
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].
Og I skulle fly til mine Bjerges Dal, thi Bjergdalen skal naa til Azal, og I skulle fly, ligesom I flyede for Jordskælvet i Judas Konge Ussias's Dage; og Herren min Gud skal komme, — alle hellige med dig!
6 At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at der intet Lys skal være, de prægtige Himmellys skulle fordunkles.
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.
Og der skal være een Dag, den skal være kendt af Herren, den skal ikke være Dag og ikke Nat; og det skal ske imod Aftens Tid, at der skal blive Lys.
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).
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at levende Vande skulle udgaa af Jerusalem, Halvdelen af dem til Havet imod Østen og Halvdelen af dem til Havet imod Vesten; det skal være baade om Sommeren og om Vinteren.
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.
Og Herren skal være Konge over det hele Land; paa den Dag skal Herren være een, og hans Navn eet.
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].
Det hele Land skal forandre sig og vorde som Sletten, fra Geba indtil Rimmon, Syd for Jerusalem; men denne skal hæve sig højt og trone paa sit Sted, fra Benjamins Port indtil den første Ports Sted, indtil Hjørneporten, og fra Hananeels Taarn indtil Kongens Vinperser.
11 Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
Og de skulle bo i den, og Band skal ikke være ydermere, og Jerusalem skal bo tryggelig.
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.
Og det skal være den Plage, med hvilken Herren skal slaa alle Folkene, som have stridt imod Jerusalem: Han skal lade deres Kød tæres hen, medens de endnu staa paa deres Fødder, og deres Øjne skulle tæres hen i deres Hulninger, og deres Tunge skal tæres hen i deres Mund.
13 At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at der skal komme en stor Forvirring fra Herren iblandt dem, saa at de skulle gribe den ene den andens Haand, og at den enes Haand skal løfte sig imod den andens Haand.
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.
Og Juda skal ogsaa kæmpe i Jerusalem; og Godset efter alle Hedningefolkene trindt omkring skal sankes, Guld og Sølv og Klæder i saare stor Mangfoldighed.
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).
Og saadan skal Plagen være over Hestene, Mulerne, Kamelerne og Asenerne og over alle Dyrene, som findes i disse Lejre, saadan som denne Plage.
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.
Og det skal ske, at alle de overblevne af alle de Hedningefolk, som kom imod Jerusalem, skulle drage op, Aar efter Aar, for at tilbede Kongen, den Herre Zebaoth, og for at højtideligholde Løvsalernes Fest.
17 If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
Og det skal ske, naar nogen af Slægterne paa Jorden ikke drager op til Jerusalem for at tilbede Kongen, den Herre Zebaoth, saa skal Regnen ikke blive dem til Del.
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.
Og dersom Ægypternes Slægt ikke drager op og ikke kommer, da skal den ej heller blive dem til Del; der skal komme den Plage, med hvilken Herren slaar de Hedningefolk, som ikke drage op for at højtideligholde Løvsalernes Fest.
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.
Dette skal være Ægyptens Syndestraf og alle de Hedningefolks Syndestraf, som ikke drage op for at højtideligholde Løvsalernes Fest.
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.
Paa den Dag skal der staa paa Hestenes Bjælder: „Helliget Herren‟; og Gryderne i Herrens Hus skulle være som Offerskaalerne foran Alteret.
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.
Og hver Gryde i Jerusalem og i Juda skal være hellig for den Herre Zebaoth, og alle de, som ofre, skulle komme og tage af dem og koge i dem; og der skal ingen Kananit ydermere være i den Herre Zebaoths Hus paa den Dag.
