< 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.
¡Cuidado! Porque viene el día del Señor en el cual lo que te ha sido saqueado será repartido delante de tus ojos.
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.
Yo reuniré a todas las naciones para que ataquen a Jerusalén. La ciudad será capturada, las casas saqueadas, y las mujeres serán violadas. La mitad de la población será llevada en exilio, pero el resto del pueblo no será quitado de la ciudad.
3 Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
Entonces el Señor saldrá a pelear contra las naciones, como se pelea en tiempos de guerra.
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.
Ese día, sus pies estarán sobre el monte de los olivos, que da la cara a Jerusalén, hacia el Este. El Monte de los Olivos se partirá en dos, la mitad hacia el norte, y la otra mitad hacia el sur, creando un valle amplio de Este a Oeste.
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].
Huirás de esta montaña, por el valle que se extiende hasta Azal. Huirás como lo hicieron en tiempos del terremoto durante el reinado de Uzías, rey de Judá. Entonces el Señor vendrá, acompañado de todos sus santos.
6 At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.
Ese día no habrá frío ni heladas.
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.
Será un día continuo (solo el Señor sabe cómo esto puede ocurrir). No habrá ni día ni noche, porque aún en la noche habrá luz.
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).
Ese día saldrá agua viva de Jerusalén, y la mitad irá al Este, hacia el Mar Muerto, y la mitad irá al Oeste, al mar Mediterráneo, fluyendo en verano e invierno por igual.
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.
El Señor será el rey sobre toda la tierra. Ese día habrá un verdadero Señor, y su nombre será el único.
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].
Toda la tierra será transformada en un valle, desde Gueba hasta Rimón, al sur de Jerusalén. Pero Jerusalén será reconstruida, y será habitada desde la puerta de Benjamín, hasta donde estaba la Puerta Antigua, es decir, la Puerta de la Esquina, y desde la Torre de Jananel, hasta las bodegas del vino del rey.
11 Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
La ciudad será habitada y nunca más condenada a la destrucción. El pueblo podrá vivir seguro en Jerusalén.
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.
Esta será la plaga que el Señor usará para azotar a las acciones que atacaron a Jerusalén: Su carne se pudrirá mientras aún están en pie. Sus ojos se pudrirán en sus cuencas, y sus lenguas se pudrirán en sus bocas.
13 At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
Ese día el Señor los golpeará con un terrible pánico, y se conquistarán y lucharán ente ellos mismos, mano a mano.
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.
Hasta Judá peleará en Jerusalén. La riqueza de las naciones vecinas será tomada: Botines de oro, plata y prendas de vestir.
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).
Una plaga similar azotará a los caballos, mulas, camellos, asnos y a todos los demás animales de sus campos.
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.
Después de esto, cada sobreviviente de las naciones que atacaron a Jerusalén irán allí a adorar al Rey, al Señor Todopoderoso, y a celebrar la Fiesta de las Enramadas.
17 If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
Si alguno de los pueblos del mundo se niega a ir a Jerusalén a adorar al Rey, el Señor, Todopoderoso, la lluvia cesará
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.
Si el pueblo de Egipto se niega a ir, entonces el Señor enviará sobre ellos la misma plaga que a las otras naciones que no fueron a celebrar la Fiesta de las Enramadas.
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.
Este será el castigo sobre Egipto y sobre todas las naciones que no vayan a Jerusalén a celebrar.
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.
Ese día, en los cencerros de los caballos estarán escritas las palabras “Santo es el Señor”. Las ollas de la casa usadas en el Templo del Señor serán tan santos como las ollas usadas en el altar en la presencia del Señor.
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.
Cada olla en Jerusalén y en Judá será santa para el Señor Todopoderoso, a fin de que todos los que vengan a hacer sacrificios las tomen y cocinen en ellas las carnes de sus sacrificios. Ese día no habrá más comerciantes en el Templo del Señor.
