Zakkaariyaas 14
1 Kunoo guyyaan Waaqayyoo ni dhufa; boojuun kees si keessatti ni qoqqoodama.
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 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.
[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 Waaqayyo akkuma guyyaa duulaa dhaqee lolu sana, dhaqee saboota sana lola.
Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
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, 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 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.
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 Guyyaa sana ifni, dhaamochii fi qorri hin jiraatan.
At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no 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.
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 Gaafas bishaan jireenyaa Yerusaalem keessaa ni yaaʼa; walakkaan isaa gara galaana baʼaatti, walakkaan immoo gara galaana lixaatti bonaa fi ganna yaaʼa.
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 Waaqayyo guutummaa lafaa irratti mootii taʼa. Gaafas Waaqayyo tokko, maqaan isaas maqaa tokko taʼa.
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 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.
[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 Namni ishee keessa jiraata; isheen siʼachi hin diigamtu. Yerusaalem nagaadhaan jiraatti.
Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
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.
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 Gaafas jeequmsi guddaan Waaqayyo biraa namootatti ni dhufa. Isaanis harkaan wal qabatanii wal haleelu
At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
14 Yihuudaanis Yerusaalemin lola. Qabeenyi saboota naannoo ishee jiraatanii hundi warqeen, meetii fi uffanni baayʼeen walitti qabama.
[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 Dhaʼichi akkasii fardeenii fi gaangolii, gaalaa fi harree, akkasumas horii qubata keessaa hunda ni rukuta.
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 Ergasii hambaawwan saboota Yerusaalemin lolan hundaa wagguma waggaadhaan Mooticha, Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu waaqeffachuu fi Ayyaana Daasii ayyaaneffachuuf ol baʼu.
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 Uummanni lafa irra jiraatu kam iyyuu yoo Mooticha, Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu waaqeffachuuf Yerusaalemitti ol baʼuu baate bokkaa hin argatu.
If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
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 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 Kun adabbii Gibxii fi adabbii saboota Ayyaana Daasii ayyaaneffachuuf ol hin baane hundaa taʼa.
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 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.
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 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 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.
