< Zekaria 14 >

1 Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthenya wa Jehova nĩũrooka, rĩrĩa indo cianyu igaatahwo na igayanĩrwo gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
Behold, a day of Yahweh comes, when your plunder will be divided within you.
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 all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go out into captivity, and the rest 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.
Then Yahweh will go out and fight against those nations, as when he fought in 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.
His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it 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.
You shall flee by the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel. Yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with you.
6 Mũthenya ũcio gũtigakorwo na ũtheri kana heho o na kana mbaa.
It will happen in that day that there will not be light, cold, or frost.
7 Ũcio ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũthenya wa mwanya, ũtarĩ mũthenya kana ũtukũ, mũthenya ũũĩo nĩ Jehova. Hwaĩ-inĩ wakinya, nĩgũkagĩa na ũtheri.
It will be a unique day which is known to Yahweh—not day, and not night; but it will come to pass that at evening time there will be 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.
It will happen in that day that living waters will go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. It will be so 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. In that day Yahweh will be one, and his name one.
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 made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses.
11 Itũũra rĩu rĩgaatuĩka rĩa gũtũũrwo; rĩtikaanangwo hĩndĩ ĩngĩ. Itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩgaatũũra rĩtarĩ na ũgwati.
Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely.
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 strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh will consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth.
13 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, Jehova nĩakahũũra andũ na kĩmako kĩnene. O mũndũ nĩakaguthũkĩra guoko kwa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ akũnyiite, nao matharĩkanĩre marũe.
It will happen in that day that a great panic from Yahweh will be among them; and they will each seize the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
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 also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together: gold, silver, and clothing, 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 like this will fall on the horse, on the mule, on the camel, on the donkey, and on all the animals that will be in those camps.
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.
It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, and to keep the feast of booths.
17 Kũngĩkaagĩa andũ gũkũ thĩ matakaambata Jerusalemu kũhooya Mũthamaki, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, kwao gũtikoira mbura.
It will be that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn’t go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, on them there will be no rain.
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 family of Egypt doesn’t go up and doesn’t come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths.
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 of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths.
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.
In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “HOLY TO YAHWEH”; and the pots 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.
Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh of Armies; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of Armies.
