< Zekaria 14 >
1 Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke gbɔna esi woama wò nuhahawo na mi.
Behold! A day for Yahweh is coming when your plunder will be divided in your midst.
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.
For I will gather every nation against Jerusalem for battle and the city will be captured. The houses will be plundered and the women raped. Half of the city will go out into captivity, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city.
3 Ekema Yehowa ado, awɔ aʋa kple dukɔ siawo abe ale si wòwɔa aʋae le aʋagbedzi ene.
But Yahweh will go out and wage war against those nations as when he wages war 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.
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is beside Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half between the east and the west by a very great valley and half of the mountain will go back toward the north and half toward the south.
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.
Then you will flee down the valley between Yahweh's mountains, for the valley between those mountains will reach to Azel. You will flee just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. Then Yahweh my God will come and all the holy ones will be with him.
6 Gbe ma gbe la, akaɖi, vuvɔ alo afu manɔ anyi o.
On that day there will be no light, but no cold or frost either.
7 Anye ŋkeke tɔxɛ, elabena ŋkeke alo zã manɔ anyi o. Yehowa koe nya ŋkeke sia. Ne zã do la, kekeli ava.
On that day, a day known only to Yahweh, there will no longer be day or night, for the evening will be a time of 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.
On that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem. Half of them will flow to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter.
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.
Yahweh will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be Yahweh, the one God, and his name alone.
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 will be like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem will continue to be raised up and remain in its own place, from the Benjamin Gate to the place where the first gate was, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.
11 Amewo anɔ eme, eye womagagbãe azɔ o. Dedinɔnɔ anɔ Yerusalem ɖaa.
The people will live in Jerusalem and there will be no more complete destruction from God against them. Jerusalem will live 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.
This will be the plague with which Yahweh will attack all the peoples that waged war against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot away even as they are standing on their feet. Their eyes will rot in their sockets and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
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.
On that day that great fear from Yahweh will come among them. Each one will seize the hand of another, and the hand of one will be raised up against the hand of another.
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.
Judah will also fight against Jerusalem. They will gather the wealth of all the surrounding nations—gold, silver, and fine clothes in great abundance.
15 Dɔvɔ̃ sia tɔgbi adze sɔwo, lãɖisɔwo, kposɔwo, tedziwo kple lã siwo katã le woƒe asaɖawo me la dzi.
A plague will also be on the horses and the mules, the camels and the donkeys, and on every animal in those camps will also suffer that same 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.
Then it will happen that all who remain in those nations that came against Jerusalem will instead go up from year to year to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, and to keep the Festival of Shelters.
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.
It will happen that if anyone from all the nations of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, then Yahweh will not bring rain on them.
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.
If the nation of Egypt does not go up, then they will not receive rain. A plague from Yahweh will attack the nations that do not go up to keep the Festival of Shelters.
19 Esia anye Egipte kple dukɔ bubu siwo meyi Agbadɔmeŋkekenyuiɖuƒe o la ƒe tohehe.
This will be the punishment for Egypt and the punishment for every nation that does not go up to keep the Festival of Shelters.
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.
But on that day, the bells of the horses will say, “Set apart to Yahweh,” and the basins in Yahweh's house will 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.
For every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be set apart to Yahweh of hosts and everyone who brings a sacrifice will eat from them and boil in them. On that day traders will no longer be in the house of Yahweh of hosts.
