< 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.
Lee, ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị na-abịa, mgbe a ga-ekesa ihe nkwata gị niile nʼetiti mgbidi gị.
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.
Aga m achịkọta mba niile ka ha bịa Jerusalem ibuso ya agha. Ha ga-adọta obodo ahụ nʼagha, tụtụkọọ ihe dị nʼụlọ niile, dinaa ndị inyom nʼike. A ga-adọta ọkara ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ nʼagha, duru ha gaa mba ọzọ. Ma ọkara nke ọzọ ka ha ga-ahapụ.
3 Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-apụ ibuso ndị mba ọzọ ahụ agha, dịka o si ebu agha nʼụbọchị agha.
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ụkwụ ya ga-eguzo nʼelu Ugwu Oliv, nke dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ Jerusalem. Mgbe ahụ, Ugwu Oliv ga-ekewa abụọ, mee ka ndagwurugwu buru ibu dịrị site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ. Nʼihi ya, ugwu ahụ ga-eke onwe ya abụọ. Otu akụkụ ga-adị nʼugwu, nke ọzọ ga-adị nʼụzọ ndịda.
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].
Unu ga-esi na ndagwurugwu nke ugwu m ahụ gbalaga, nʼihi na ndagwurugwu ahụ ga-eru Azel. Unu ga-agbapụ dịka unu si gbapụ nʼoge gara aga, mgbe ala ọma jijiji ahụ, nʼoge Uzaya bụ eze Juda. Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke m ga-abịa, ya na ndị nsọ ya.
6 At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ìhè anyanwụ agaghị adị, oyi agaghị adị, mkpụrụ mmiri agaghị adịkwa.
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.
Ọ ga-abụ ụbọchị pụrụ iche, ụbọchị ehihie na abalị na-agaghị adịkwa. Ọ bụ ụbọchị nke naanị Onyenwe anyị maara. Ma ìhè ga-adịkwa nʼoge anyasị.
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).
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, mmiri na-enye ndụ ga-esi na Jerusalem na-asọpụta. Ọ ga-ekewa abụọ, ọkara ya ga-asọbanye nʼosimiri Nnu dị nʼihu anyanwụ ebe ọkara nke ọzọ ga-asọbanye nʼosimiri Mediterenịa dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ. Ha ga na-asọ nʼọkọchị na nʼudu mmiri.
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.
Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-abụ eze nʼelu ụwa niile. Nʼụbọchị ahụ, naanị otu Onyenwe anyị ga-adị, naanị aha ya kwa ka a ga na-efe ofufe.
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].
Ala niile, site na Geba ruo Rimọn, nke dị na ndịda Jerusalem ga-adị ka ọzara. Ma ọ bụ naanị Jerusalem ga-adị nʼebe lara elu. Ọ ga-adịkwa nʼọnọdụ ya site nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke Benjamin ruo nʼebe ọnụ ụzọ ama nke Mbụ, ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke dị nʼAkụkụ, sitekwa nʼỤlọ elu Hananel ruo nʼebe a na-azọchapụta mmanya eze.
11 Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
A ga-ebiju na ya na-enweghị nsogbu. A gaghị emebikwa ya ọzọ. Jerusalem ga-ebikwa nʼudo na-atụghị egwu.
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.
Nke a bụ ọrịa ọjọọ nke Onyenwe anyị ga-eji kụda mba niile buru agha megide Jerusalem. Anụ ahụ ha ga-ere ure mgbe ha ka guzo ọtọ. Anya ha ga-erekwa ure, ire ha ga-erekwa ure nʼọnụ ha.
13 At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-etinye ndị mmadụ oke ụjọ nʼobi. Oke ọgbaaghara ga-adị nʼetiti ha, ha ga-alụsokwa ibe ha ọgụ.
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.
Ọ bụladị Juda ga-ebu agha na Jerusalem. A ga-akwakọrọ akụ ndị mba ọzọ dị ha nso, bụ ọtụtụ ọlaedo na ọlaọcha, na uwe mara mma.
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).
Ọrịa ọjọọ dị otu a ga-adakwasị ịnyịnya niile, na ịnyịnya muul, na ịnyịnya kamel niile, na ịnyịnya ibu niile, na anụ niile dị nʼogige ndị agha ha.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị fọdụrụ na mba niile ndị ahụ busoro Jerusalem agha, ga-abịa kwa afọ kpọọ isiala nye eze, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ka ha soro mee mmemme ụlọ Ikwu.
17 If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
Ọ bụrụ na ndị ọbụla si na mba dị iche iche esoghị jee Jerusalem ife Eze ahụ, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ha agaghị enwetakwa mmiri ozuzo.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na ndị Ijipt ajụ ịga soro ndị ọzọ ife ofufe ahụ, ha agaghị enweta mmiri ozuzo. Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ọrịa ọjọọ ahụ bịakwasị ha, dịka ọ siri bịakwasị mba ndị ahụ niile jụrụ iso mee mmemme ụlọ Ikwu.
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.
Nke a ga-abụ ahụhụ dịrị ndị Ijipt, na ndị mba dị iche iche, ndị na-agaghị eso na mmemme ụlọ Ikwu ahụ.
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ihe a ga-ede nʼahụ ataṅụ nke ịnyịnya niile na-anya nʼolu ha bụ nke a: “Ihe dị Nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị.” Ite niile e ji esi nri dị nʼụlọ nke Onyenwe anyị ga-adị ka efere nsọ ndị ahụ dị nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja.
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.
Ite niile dị na Juda, na nʼime Jerusalem ga-adị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Ndị niile bịara ịchụ aja ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼime ite ndị a sie nri ịchụ aja ha. Nʼụbọchị ahụ kwa, a gaghị ahụ kwa ndị na-atụ mgbereahịa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
