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.
Indro, hisy andron’ i Jehovah ho avy, ka ny babo aminao hozaraina ao ampovoanao.
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.
Ary hangoniko ny jentilisa rehetra hamely an’ i Jerosalema, dia ho afaka ny tanàna, ka horobaina ny trano, ary hosavihina ny vehivavy; ary ny an-tsasaky ny tanàna dia ho lasan-ko babo, fa ny vahoaka sisa tsy dia hofongorana avokoa amin’ ny tanàna.
3 Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
Dia hivoaka Jehovah ka hiady amin’ ireny jentilisa ireny, tahaka ny fameliny amin’ ny andro fiadiana.
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.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny tongony hijoro eo an-tendrombohitra Oliva, izay eo atsinanana tandrifin’ i Jerosalema, ary ny Tendrombohitra Oliva hitresaka eo afovoany hiatsinanana sy hiankandrefana, ka hisy lohasaha lehibe; ary ny antsasaky ny tendrombohitra hifindra hianavaratra, fa ny an-tsasany kosa hianatsimo.
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].
Dia handositra ho any amin’ ny lohasahan’ ny tendrombohitro ianareo, fa hipaka hatrany Azela ny lohasahan’ ny tendrombohitra; eny, handositra ianareo tahaka ny nandosiranareo ny horohorontany tamin’ ny andron’ i Ozia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda; ary ho avy Jehovah Andriamanitro mbamin’ ny masìna rehetra momba Azy.
6 At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia tsy hisy mazava, ary ireo mamirapiratra tsy hiseho intsony;
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.
fa hisy andro iray, izay fantatr’ i Jehovah, tsy andro na alina; nefa, raha hariva ny andro, dia hisy mazava.
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).
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy rano velona hivoaka avy any Jerosalema, ka ny antsasany hankany amin’ ny ranomasina atsinanana, ary ny antsasany hankany amin’ ny ranomasina andrefana, na amin’ ny fahavaratra na amin’ ny ririnina dia samy hisian’ izany.
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.
Ary Jehovah ho Mpanjakan’ ny tany rehetra; amin’ izany andro izany dia iray no Jehovah, sady iray no anarany.
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].
Ho tonga tahaka ny tani-hay ny tany rehetra hatrany Geba ka hatrany Rimona ao atsimon’ i Jerosalema; ary hasandratra sy honenana ao amin’ ny fitoerany izy hatramin’ ny vavahadin’ i Benjamina ka hatreo amin’ ny vavahady voalohany, hatramin’ ny vavahady an-jorony, ary hatramin’ ny tilikambo Hananela ka hatramin’ ireo famiazam-boaloboky ny mpanjaka.
11 Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
Dia hisy mponina any, ary tsy hisy ozona intsony, fa Jerosalema handry fahizay.
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.
Ary izao no areti-mandringana hamelezan’ i Jehovah ny firenena rehetra izay efa nanafika an’ i Jerosalema: Hataony mihalevona am-pitsanganana ny nofony, ary hihalevona eo amin’ ny itoerany ny masony, ary ny lelany koa hihalevona ao am-bavany.
13 At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy fifanaritahana lehibe avy amin’ i Jehovah ao aminy, ary hifampihazon-tanana izy, sady samy hanainga tanana hifamely.
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.
Ary ny Joda koa hamely an’ i Jerosalema, ary hovorina ny haren’ ny firenena manodidina rehetra, dia volamena sy volafotsy ary fitafiana betsaka.
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).
Ary ho toy izany koa ny areti-mandringana hamely ny soavaly sy ny ampondra sy ny rameva sy ny boriky mbamin’ ny biby fiompy rehetra izay ao amin’ ireny toby ireny, eny, ho tahaka izany areti-mandringana izany ihany.
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.
Ary ny sisa rehetra amin’ ny jentilisa rehetra, izay niakatra namely an’ i Jerosalema, dia hiakatra isan-taona isan-taona hiankohoka eo anatrehan’ ny Mpanjaka, dia Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, sy hitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana an-trano rantsan-kazo.
17 If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
Ary na iza na iza amin’ ny firenena samy hafa amin’ ny tany no tsy hiakatra ho any Jerosalema hiankohoka eo anatrehan’ ny Mpanjaka, dia Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia tsy mba hisy ranonorana mivatravatra any aminy.
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.
Ary raha ny firenen’ i Egypta tsy mba miakatra ka tsy tonga, dia tsy hisy koa any aminy, sady ho tonga ny areti-mandringana izay hamelezan’ i Jehovah ny firenena tsy miakatra hitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana an-trano rantsan-kazo.
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.
Izany no fampijaliana an’ i Egypta sy fampijaliana ny firenena rehetra izay tsy miakatra hitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana an-trano rantsan-kazo.
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.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy ao amin’ ny famohamandrin-tsoavaly manao hoe: HAMASININA HO AN’ I JEHOVAH; ary ny vilany ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ho tahaka ny lovia famafazana eo anoloan’ ny alitara.
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.
Eny, ny vilany rehetra any Jerosalema sy Joda dia hohamasinina ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; ary izay rehetra mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra dia ho avy haka amin’ ireny ka hahandro aminy. Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia tsy hisy Kananita intsony ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
