Zakkaariyaas 14
1 Kunoo guyyaan Waaqayyoo ni dhufa; boojuun kees si keessatti ni qoqqoodama.
Watch out! For the day of the Lord is coming when what has been plundered from you will be divided up right in front of you.
2 Ani akka isaan ishee waraananiif saboota hunda Yerusaalemitti walitti nan qaba; magaalattiin ni qabamti; manneen ni saamamu; dubartoonni isaanii humnaan gudeedamu. Gartokkeen magaalattii ni boojiʼama; uummanni hafe garuu magaalattii keessaa hin fudhatamu.
I will bring together all the nations to attack Jerusalem. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the population will be taken into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.
3 Waaqayyo akkuma guyyaa duulaa dhaqee lolu sana, dhaqee saboota sana lola.
Then the Lord will go out to fight against the nations as he fights in times of war.
4 Guyyaa sana miilli isaa Tulluu Ejersaa isa karaa baʼa Yerusaalemiitiin jiru irra dhaabata; Tulluun Ejersaas baʼaa gara dhiʼaatti sulula guddaa uumee iddoo lamatti baqaqfama. Tulluun sunis gartokkeen isaa gara kaabaatti, gartokkeen isaa immoo gara kibbaatti siqa.
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives which faces Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of Olives will split apart, with half moving north and half moving south, creating a wide valley from east to west.
5 Isin karaa sulula tulluu kootiin baqattu; inni gara Aazeelitti diriirfamaatii. Isin akkuma bara Uziyaan mooticha Yihuudaa keessa sochii lafaa jalaa baqattan sana ammas ni baqattu. Ergasii Waaqayyo, Waaqni koo ni dhufa; qulqulloonni hundinuus isa wajjin ni dhufu.
You will run away through this mountain valley for it will reach as far as Azal. You will run away like people did at the time of the earthquake during the reign of Uzzah, king of Judah. Then the Lord will come, accompanied by all his holy ones.
6 Guyyaa sana ifni, dhaamochii fi qorri hin jiraatan.
On that day there will be no longer cold and frost.
7 Guyyaan sun guyyaa addaa, guyyaa Waaqayyo qofa biratti beekamu, yeroo itti garaagarummaan guyyaa fi halkanii hin beekamne ni taʼa. Yeroo dhiʼutti ifa ni taʼa.
It will be one continuous day (only the Lord knows how this could happen). It won't be day or night, because in the evening it will still be light.
8 Gaafas bishaan jireenyaa Yerusaalem keessaa ni yaaʼa; walakkaan isaa gara galaana baʼaatti, walakkaan immoo gara galaana lixaatti bonaa fi ganna yaaʼa.
On that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of it going east to the Dead Sea and half going west to the Mediterranean Sea, flowing in summer and winter alike.
9 Waaqayyo guutummaa lafaa irratti mootii taʼa. Gaafas Waaqayyo tokko, maqaan isaas maqaa tokko taʼa.
The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one true Lord, and his name the only one.
10 Guutummaan biyyattii Gebaadhaa hamma Rimoon ishee kibba Yerusaalem jirtuutti akka Arabbaa taʼa. Yerusaalem garuu Karra Beniyaamii hamma Karra Jalqabaatti, hamma Karra Goleetti, Gamoo Hanaaniʼeelii hamma iddoo cuunfaa wayinii mootichaatti ol kaafamtee iddoodhuma ishee durii ni turti.
The whole land will be transformed into a plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem will be raised up to where it was, and people will live there from the Benjamin Gate to where the old gate was, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.
11 Namni ishee keessa jiraata; isheen siʼachi hin diigamtu. Yerusaalem nagaadhaan jiraatti.
It will be inhabited and never again condemned to destruction again—people will be able to live in safety in Jerusalem.
12 Kun dhaʼicha Waaqayyo ittiin saboota Yerusaalemin lolan hunda rukutuu dha: Foon isaanii utuma isaan miilla isaaniitiin dhaabatanii jiranuu tortora; iji isaanii boolla ija isaanii keessatti tortora; arrabni isaaniis afaan isaanii keessatti tortora.
This will be the plague that the Lord will use to strike all the nations that attacked Jerusalem. Their flesh shall rot while they are still standing on their feet; their eyes will rot in their sockets; their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 Gaafas jeequmsi guddaan Waaqayyo biraa namootatti ni dhufa. Isaanis harkaan wal qabatanii wal haleelu
On that day the Lord will strike them with a terrible panic, and they will seize one another, and fight hand-to-hand.
14 Yihuudaanis Yerusaalemin lola. Qabeenyi saboota naannoo ishee jiraatanii hundi warqeen, meetii fi uffanni baayʼeen walitti qabama.
Even Judah will fight in Jerusalem. The wealth of the surrounding nations shall be collected: lots of gold, silver, and clothes.
15 Dhaʼichi akkasii fardeenii fi gaangolii, gaalaa fi harree, akkasumas horii qubata keessaa hunda ni rukuta.
A similar plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all other animals that may be in their camps.
16 Ergasii hambaawwan saboota Yerusaalemin lolan hundaa wagguma waggaadhaan Mooticha, Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu waaqeffachuu fi Ayyaana Daasii ayyaaneffachuuf ol baʼu.
After this every one of the survivors from the nations that attacked Jerusalem will go there to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
17 Uummanni lafa irra jiraatu kam iyyuu yoo Mooticha, Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu waaqeffachuuf Yerusaalemitti ol baʼuu baate bokkaa hin argatu.
If any of the peoples of the world refuse to go to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.
18 Uummanni Gibxiis yoo ol baʼee hirmaachuu baate bokkaa hin argatu. Waaqayyo dhaʼicha ittiin saboota Ayyaana Daasii ayyaaneffachuuf ol hin baane rukutu isaanitti ni fida.
If the Egyptian people refuse to go and attend, then the Lord will inflict on them the same plague as on the other nations who will not go celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
19 Kun adabbii Gibxii fi adabbii saboota Ayyaana Daasii ayyaaneffachuuf ol hin baane hundaa taʼa.
This will be the punishment on Egypt and all the nations if they do not go to Jerusalem and celebrate.
20 Gaafas katabbiin, “Waaqayyoof qulqullaaʼe” jedhu bilbila fardeenii irratti ni barreeffama. Xuwween mana Waaqayyoo keessaas akkuma waciitii qulqulluu fuula iddoo aarsaa dura jiru sanaa ni taʼa.
On that day the bells worn by horses will be engraved with the words “Holy to the Lord.” The household cooking pots used in the Lord's Temple will be as holy as the bowls used on the altar in the presence of the Lord.
21 Xuwween Yerusaalemii fi Yihuudaa keessaa hundi Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf qulqulluu taʼa; namni aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf dhufu hundinuus xuwweewwan sana keessaa muraasa ni fudhata. Foon aarsaa itti bilcheeffata. Gaafas namni Kanaʼaan tokko iyyuu deebiʼee mana Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu keessatti hin argamu.
Every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, so that everyone who comes to sacrifice can take them and cook their sacrificial meat in them. On that day there will no longer be traders in the Lord's Temple.
