Zekaria 14

1 Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke gbɔna esi woama wò nuhahawo na mi.

Behold, a day is coming unto the Lord, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2 Maƒo dukɔwo katã nu ƒu be woava awɔ avu kple Yerusalem, woaxɔ du la, woalɔ aƒewo katã ƒioƒioƒio, eye woalé nyɔnuwo sesẽtɔe adɔ kpli wo. Woakplɔ du la ƒe afã ayi aboyo mee, gake ame mamlɛawo atsi dua me.

And I will assemble all the nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be captured, and the houses plundered, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into exile, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Ekema Yehowa ado, awɔ aʋa kple dukɔ siawo abe ale si wòwɔa aʋae le aʋagbedzi ene.

Then will the Lord go forth, and fight against these nations, as on the day when he fought on the day of battle.

4 Gbe ma gbe la, atsi tsitre ɖe Amito si le Yerusalem ƒe ɣedzeƒe la dzi, eye Amito la ama ɖe eve kpla, ɖeka ayi ɣedzeƒe, evelia ayi ɣetoɖoƒe. Bali gã aɖe anɔ wo dome ale be to la ƒe afã ayi anyiehe, eye afã ayi dziehe.

And his feet will stand on that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall be split in twain in its middle eastward and westward, making a very great valley; and half of the mount shall remove northward, and half of it southward.

5 Miasi ato nye to la ƒe balime, elabena akeke va se ɖe keke Azel. Miasi abe ale si miesi le Yuda fia Uzia ƒe ŋkekewo me esime anyigba ʋuʋu la ene. Ekema Yehowa, nye Mawu la ava, eye kɔkɔetɔwo katã anɔ eŋu.

And ye shall flee [from] the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal; and ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah: and then will come the Lord my God, and all the saints with thee.

6 Gbe ma gbe la, akaɖi, vuvɔ alo afu manɔ anyi o.

And it shall come to pass on that day, that there shall be no light, but fleeting light and thick darkness;

7 Anye ŋkeke tɔxɛ, elabena ŋkeke alo zã manɔ anyi o. Yehowa koe nya ŋkeke sia. Ne zã do la, kekeli ava.

But it shall be one particular day which shall indeed be known as the Lord's, neither day nor night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening-time there shall be light.

8 Gbe ma gbe la, agbetsi asi tso Yerusalem, afã asi ayi ɖe ɣedzeƒeƒu la me, eye afã asi ayi ɣetoɖoƒeƒu la me. Anɔ alea le dzomeŋɔli kple vuvɔŋɔli siaa.

And it shall happen on that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, the half of them toward the eastern sea, and the other half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be so.

9 Yehowa aɖu fia ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi. Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa ɖeka koe anɔ anyi, eye eya ko ƒe ŋkɔe anɔ anyi.

And the Lord will be king over all the earth: on that day shall the Lord be [acknowledged] one, and his name be one.

10 Anyigba blibo la, tso Geba yi Rimon le Yerusalem ƒe dziehe, anɔ abe Araba ene. Ke woakɔ Yerusalem ɖe dzi, eye wòanɔ eteƒe tso Benyamingbo la nu yi ɖe Agbo Gbãtɔ nu, yi ɖe Dzogoegbo la nu, eye tso Hananel ƒe Gbetakpɔxɔ gbɔ va se ɖe fiawo ƒe wainfiaƒe.

All the land shall be changed as it were into a plain from Geba' to Rimmon to the south of Jerusalem; and she herself shall be elevated, and be inhabited on her former site, from the gate of Benjamin unto the place of the first gate, up to the corner gate, and from the tower of Chananel unto the king's wine-presses.

11 Amewo anɔ eme, eye womagagbãe azɔ o. Dedinɔnɔ anɔ Yerusalem ɖaa.

And men shall dwell in it, and no destruction shall any more take place; but Jerusalem shall be inhabited in safety.

12 Esiae nye dɔvɔ̃ si Yehowa akplɔ aƒu dukɔ siwo katã wɔ avu kple Yerusalem: woƒe ŋutilãwo aƒaƒã le esime wogale afɔ dzi le yiyim. Woƒe ŋkuwo avo ɖe tome na wo, eye woƒe aɖewo aƒaƒã ɖe nu me na wo.

And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will afflict all the people that shall have come to battle against Jerusalem: The flesh of every one shall consume away while he standeth upon his feet, and his eyes shall consume away in their holes, and the tongue of every one shall consume away in his mouth.

13 Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa atsɔ ŋɔdzi aƒo ŋutsuwoe; ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe aku ɖe nɔvia ƒe asi ŋu, eye woawɔ avu kple wo nɔewo.

And it shall come to pass on that day, that a great confusion from the Lord shall be among them: and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.

14 Yuda hã awɔ avu le Yerusalem; woaƒo dukɔ siwo katã ƒo xlã wo la ƒe kesinɔnuwo nu ƒu, sika kple klosalo gbogbo aɖe kple nudodowo.

And also Judah will have to fight against Jerusalem: and there shall be gathered together the wealth of all the nations round about, gold, and silver, and garments, in great abundance.

15 Dɔvɔ̃ sia tɔgbi adze sɔwo, lãɖisɔwo, kposɔwo, tedziwo kple lã siwo katã le woƒe asaɖawo me la dzi.

And thus shall be the plague of the horses, of the mules, of the camels, and of the asses, and of all the beasts that will be in these camps, just like this plague.

16 Ame siwo katã tsi agbe tso dukɔ siwo wɔ avu kple Yerusalem me la ayi aɖasubɔ Fia si nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ƒe sia ƒe, eye woaɖu Agbadɔmeŋkekenyuiwo.

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left out of all the nations who will have come against Jerusalem, yea, these shall go up year by year to bow down before the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

17 Ne ame siwo le anyigba la dzi dometɔ aɖe meyi ɖe Yerusalem ɖasubɔ Fia si nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la o la, tsi madza na wo o.

And it shall happen, that whoso will not come up out of the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to bow down before the King, the Lord of hosts, —even upon these there shall be no rain.

18 Ne Egiptetɔwo meyi ɖakpɔ gome le eme o la, tsi madza na wo o. Yehowa aƒo wo kple dɔvɔ̃ siwo wòtsɔ ƒo dukɔ siwo meyi ɖe Agbadɔmeŋkekenyuiɖuƒe o.

And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, then shall not [any rain fall] upon them also: this shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will afflict the nations that will not come up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

19 Esia anye Egipte kple dukɔ bubu siwo meyi Agbadɔmeŋkekenyuiɖuƒe o la ƒe tohehe.

This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that will not come up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

20 Gbe ma gbe la, woaŋlɔ ɖe gavi siwo wode kɔ na sɔwo la dzi be, “Èle kɔkɔe na Yehowa,” eye nuɖaze siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me la anɔ abe agba kɔkɔe siwo le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe ŋkume ene.

On that day shall [every thing], even to the bells of the horses, be holy unto the Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Nuɖaze ɖe sia ɖe si le Yerusalem kple Yuda la anɔ kɔkɔe na Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, eye ame siwo katã va vɔsaƒe la atsɔ nuɖaze aɖewo aɖa nu le wo me, eye gbe ma gbe la, Kanaantɔ aɖeke maganɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe gbedoxɔ me o.

And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy unto the Lord of hosts; and all those that sacrifice will come and take some of them, and seethe therein: and on that day there shall be no more any trader in the house of the Lord of host.
