< Zakharia 14 >
1 Hari penghakiman TUHAN sudah dekat. Maka Yerusalem akan dirampoki, dan hasilnya akan dibagi-bagi di depan matamu.
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.
2 TUHAN akan mengumpulkan semua bangsa untuk menyerang Yerusalem. Kota itu akan direbut, rumah-rumahnya dirampoki, dan para wanitanya diperkosa. Setengah dari penduduknya akan diangkut ke pembuangan, tetapi selebihnya akan tinggal di kota itu.
[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.
3 Lalu TUHAN akan maju dan berperang melawan bangsa-bangsa itu, seperti yang dilakukan-Nya di zaman dahulu.
Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
4 Pada hari itu Ia akan berdiri di Bukit Zaitun, di sebelah timur Yerusalem. Maka Bukit Zaitun akan terbelah oleh lembah yang luas, mulai dari timur sampai ke barat. Setengah dari bukit itu akan bergerak ke utara, dan setengah lagi ke selatan.
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.
5 Kamu akan lari melalui lembah yang membagi bukit itu menjadi dua. Kamu akan lari seperti nenek moyangmu ketika terjadi gempa bumi di masa pemerintahan Uzia, raja Yehuda. Lalu datanglah TUHAN Allahku, diiringi semua malaikat.
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].
6 Jika hari itu tiba, tak akan ada lagi udara dingin atau es.
At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.
7 Pada hari itu tak ada lagi kegelapan. Hari akan tetap terang, juga pada waktu malam. Tetapi hanya TUHAN yang tahu kapan hari itu tiba.
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.
8 Pada hari itu, air segar akan mengalir dari Yerusalem; setengah dari air itu akan menuju ke Laut Mati dan setengahnya lagi ke Laut Tengah. Air itu akan mengalir sepanjang tahun, baik di musim hujan maupun di musim kemarau.
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).
9 Maka TUHAN akan memerintah sebagai raja atas seluruh muka bumi; setiap orang akan menyembah Dia sebagai Allah dan mengenal Dia dengan nama yang sama.
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.
10 Seluruh negeri dari Geba di utara sampai Rimon di selatan, akan menjadi dataran. Tetapi Yerusalem akan menjulang tinggi, lebih tinggi daripada tanah di sekitarnya; kota itu akan meluas dari Pintu Gerbang Benyamin sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Sudut, yaitu tempat pintu gerbang Pertama dan dari Menara Hananel sampai ke tempat pemerasan anggur milik raja.
[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].
11 Orang-orang akan tinggal dengan aman di kota itu, tanpa ancaman kebinasaan.
Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
12 TUHAN akan mendatangkan penyakit yang mengerikan ke atas semua bangsa yang telah berperang melawan Yerusalem. Mata dan lidah mereka, bahkan seluruh tubuh mereka akan membusuk sementara mereka masih hidup.
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.
13 Pada hari itu TUHAN akan membuat bangsa-bangsa itu sangat kebingungan dan ketakutan sehingga setiap orang akan menangkap temannya yang ada di sebelahnya dan menyerangnya.
At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
14 Orang-orang lelaki di Yehuda akan berperang untuk membela Yerusalem. Sebagai barang rampasan mereka akan mengambil semua harta bangsa-bangsa di sekitarnya berupa emas, perak dan pakaian bertumpuk-tumpuk.
[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.
15 Suatu penyakit yang dahysat juga akan menimpa kuda, bagal, unta dan keledai, serta semua binatang di perkemahan musuh.
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).
16 Kemudian semua orang yang masih hidup di antara bangsa-bangsa yang menyerang Yerusalem, akan pergi ke kota itu untuk menyembah Raja, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, dan untuk merayakan Pesta Pondok Daun.
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.
17 Bilamana ada bangsa yang tidak mau pergi ke Yerusalem untuk menyembah Raja, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, maka di negerinya tidak akan turun hujan.
If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
18 Dan jika orang Mesir tidak mau merayakan Pesta Pondok Daun, maka mereka pun akan ditimpa penyakit yang didatangkan TUHAN ke atas setiap bangsa yang tak mau pergi beribadat.
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.
19 Itulah hukuman bagi Mesir dan bagi semua bangsa yang tidak mau merayakan Pesta Pondok Daun.
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.
20 Pada hari itu lonceng-lonceng pada pakaian kuda akan diukir dengan kata-kata "Dikhususkan untuk TUHAN". Panci-panci di Rumah TUHAN akan dihargai seperti mangkuk-mangkuk persembahan di depan mezbah.
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.
21 Semua panci di Yerusalem dan di seluruh Yehuda akan dikhususkan menjadi milik TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Penduduk yang mempersembahkan kurban akan memakainya untuk merebus daging persembahan. Apabila masa itu tiba, tak akan ada lagi pedagang di Rumah TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa.
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.
