< Zekaria 14 >
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthenya wa Jehova nĩũrooka, rĩrĩa indo cianyu igaatahwo na igayanĩrwo gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
Behold! A day for Yahweh is coming when your plunder will be divided in your midst.
2 Nĩngongania ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ciũkĩrĩre itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, ihũũrane narĩo; itũũra rĩu inene nĩrĩkanyiitwo nĩ thũ, na indo cia nyũmba ciũngũrũrio nao andũ-a-nja manyiitwo na hinya. Andũ nuthu ya itũũra nĩmagathaamio, no andũ acio angĩ matikeherio itũũra-inĩ rĩu.
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 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova nĩakoimagara, okĩrĩre ndũrĩrĩ icio arũe nacio, o ta ũrĩa arũaga mũthenya wa mbaara.
But Yahweh will go out and wage war against those nations as when he wages war on the day of battle.
4 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, Jehova nĩakarũgama Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ, mwena wa irathĩro wa Jerusalemu. Nakĩo Kĩrĩma kĩu kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ nĩgĩgatũkana maita meerĩ kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro; naho hagĩe mũkuru mũnene, nuthu ĩmwe ya kĩrĩma ĩthiĩ mwena wa gathigathini, nayo nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩthiĩ mwena wa gũthini.
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 Mũkoorĩra mũkuru-inĩ ũcio wa kĩrĩma gĩakwa tondũ ũgaakinya o Azeli. Mũkoora o ta ũrĩa mworĩire gĩthingithia matukũ-inĩ ma Uzia, mũthamaki wa Juda. Nake Jehova Ngai wakwa nĩagooka, arĩ hamwe na andũ arĩa atheru othe.
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 Mũthenya ũcio gũtigakorwo na ũtheri kana heho o na kana mbaa.
On that day there will be no light, but no cold or frost either.
7 Ũcio ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũthenya wa mwanya, ũtarĩ mũthenya kana ũtukũ, mũthenya ũũĩo nĩ Jehova. Hwaĩ-inĩ wakinya, nĩgũkagĩa na ũtheri.
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 Mũthenya ũcio maaĩ ma muoyo nĩmagatherera moimĩte Jerusalemu; nuthu yamo yerekere iria-inĩ rĩa mwena wa irathĩro, nayo nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ yerekere iria-inĩ rĩa mwena wa ithũĩro. Maaĩ macio magathereraga hĩndĩ ya ũrugarĩ na hĩndĩ ya heho.
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 Jehova nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũthamaki wa thĩ yothe. Mũthenya ũcio gũgaakorwo Jehova arĩ o we wiki, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩkorwo no rĩo riiki.
Yahweh will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be Yahweh, the one God, and his name alone.
10 Bũrũri wothe kuuma Geba nginya Rimoni, mwena wa gũthini wa Jerusalemu, ũkaahaana ta Araba. No rĩrĩ, itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu nĩrĩgatũũgĩrio na rĩtũũre o hau rĩrĩ, kuuma Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Benjamini nginya harĩa Kĩhingo kĩa Mbere kĩrĩ, o nginya Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Koine, na kuuma mũthiringo ũrĩa mũraaya na igũrũ wa Hananeli gũthiĩ nginya ihihĩro-inĩ cia ndibei cia mũthamaki.
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 Itũũra rĩu rĩgaatuĩka rĩa gũtũũrwo; rĩtikaanangwo hĩndĩ ĩngĩ. Itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩgaatũũra rĩtarĩ na ũgwati.
The people will live in Jerusalem and there will be no more complete destruction from God against them. Jerusalem will live in safety.
12 Na rĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo mũthiro ũrĩa Jehova akaahũũra ndũrĩrĩ ciothe naguo, iria cianarũa na Jerusalemu: Mĩĩrĩ yao ĩkaabuthaga o marũgamĩte na magũrũ mao, maitho mao namo mabuthĩre marima-inĩ mamo, nacio nĩmĩ ciao ikaabutha irĩ tũnua-inĩ twao.
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 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, Jehova nĩakahũũra andũ na kĩmako kĩnene. O mũndũ nĩakaguthũkĩra guoko kwa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ akũnyiite, nao matharĩkanĩre marũe.
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 Andũ a Juda o nao nĩmakarũĩra kũu Jerusalemu. Ũtonga wa ndũrĩrĩ iria irigiicĩirie kũu nĩũkonganio, naguo nĩ ũtonga mũingĩ wa thahabu, na wa betha na wa nguo.
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 Mũthiro o ta ũcio nĩũkaniina mbarathi na nyũmbũ, na ngamĩĩra na ndigiri, na nyamũ ciothe iria igaakorwo kambĩ-inĩ icio.
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 Ningĩ-rĩ, matigari ma ndũrĩrĩ icio ciothe iria cianatharĩkĩra Jerusalemu makaambataga mwaka o mwaka kũhooya Mũthamaki, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, na gũkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ.
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 Kũngĩkaagĩa andũ gũkũ thĩ matakaambata Jerusalemu kũhooya Mũthamaki, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, kwao gũtikoira mbura.
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 Andũ a Misiri mangĩkaaga gũthiĩ kũnyiitanĩra na arĩa angĩ-rĩ, kwao gũtikoira mbura. Jehova nĩakamarehera mũthiro ũrĩa ahũũraga ndũrĩrĩ naguo iria itaambataga gũkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ kĩu gĩa Ithũnũ.
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 Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ iherithia rĩa bũrũri wa Misiri, o na rĩa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria itaambataga igathiĩ gũkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ kĩu gĩa Ithũnũ.
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 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, mbugi cia mbarathi ikaandĩkwo, ICI CIAMŨRĨIRWO JEHOVA, nacio nyũngũ cia kũruga iria irĩ nyũmba ya Jehova thĩinĩ igaatuĩka ta mbakũri iria nyamũre irĩ mbere ya kĩgongona.
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 Nyũngũ o yothe ĩrĩ kũu Jerusalemu na Juda ĩkaamũrĩrwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nao arĩa othe magookaga kũruta igongona-rĩ, makooyaga nyũngũ imwe cia cio makaruga nacio. Na mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, gũtigacooka kũgĩa na mwonjorithia thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
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.
