Zekaria 14

1 Siku ya Bwana inakuja ambayo nyara zilizotekwa kwenu zitagawanywa miongoni mwenu.

Behold, the days of the Lord come, and thy spoils shall be divided in thee.

2 Nitayakusanya mataifa yote huko Yerusalemu kupigana dhidi yake, mji utatekwa, nyumba zitavamiwa na kuporwa na wanawake watanajisiwa. Nusu ya mji watakwenda uhamishoni, lakini watakaobaki hawataondolewa kutoka mjini.

And I will gather all the Gentiles to Jerusalem to war, and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, but the rest of my people shall not be utterly cut off from the city.

3 Kisha Bwana atatoka na kupigana dhidi ya watu wa yale mataifa, kama apiganavyo siku ya vita.

And the Lord shall go forth, and fight with those Gentiles as when he fought in the day of war.

4 Siku hiyo miguu yake itasimama juu ya Mlima wa Mizeituni, mashariki mwa Yerusalemu, nao Mlima wa Mizeituni utagawanyika mara mbili kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi, ukifanya bonde kubwa, nusu ya mlima ukisogea kuelekea kaskazini na nusu kuelekea kusini.

And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave asunder, half of it toward the east and the west, a very great division; and half the mountain shall lean to the north, and half of it to the south.

5 Nanyi mtakimbia kupitia katika bonde hilo la mlima wangu kwa kuwa litaenea hadi Aseli. Mtakimbia kama mlivyokimbia tetemeko la ardhi katika siku za Uzia mfalme wa Yuda. Kisha Bwana Mungu wangu atakuja na watakatifu wote pamoja naye.

And the valley of my mountains shall be closed up, and the valley of the mountains shall be joined on to Jasod, and shall be blocked up as it was blocked up in the days of the earthquake, in the days of Ozias king of Juda; and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with him.

6 Siku hiyo hakutakuwepo nuru, baridi wala theluji.

And it shall come to pass in that day that there shall be no light,

7 Itakuwa siku ya kipekee, isiyo na mchana wala usiku, siku ijulikanayo na Bwana. Jioni inapofika nuru itakuwepo.

and there shall be for one day cold and frost, and that day [shall be] known to the Lord, and [it shall] not [be] day nor night: but towards evening it shall be light.

8 Siku hiyo, maji yaliyo hai yatatiririka kutoka Yerusalemu, nusu kwenda kwenye bahari ya mashariki, na nusu kwenda kwenye bahari ya magharibi wakati wa kiangazi na wakati wa masika.

And in that day living water shall come forth out of Jerusalem; half of it toward the former sea, and half of it toward the latter sea: and so shall it be in summer and spring.

9 Bwana atakuwa mfalme juu ya dunia yote. Katika siku hiyo atakuwepo Bwana mmoja na jina lake litakuwa jina pekee.

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day there shall be one Lord, and his name one,

10 Nchi yote kuanzia Geba, kaskazini mwa Yuda, hadi Rimoni, kusini mwa Yerusalemu, itakuwa kama Araba. Lakini Yerusalemu utainuliwa juu na kubaki mahali pake, toka Lango la Benyamini hadi mahali pa Lango la Kwanza, mpaka kwenye Lango la Pembeni na kutoka Mnara wa Hananeli hadi kwenye mashinikizo ya divai ya mfalme.

compassing all the earth, and the wilderness from Gabe unto Remmon south of Jerusalem. And Rama shall remain in its place. From the gate of Benjamin to the place of the first gate, to the gate of the corners, and to the tower of Anameel, as far as the king's winepresses,

11 Utakaliwa na watu, kamwe hautaharibiwa tena, Yerusalemu utakaa salama.

they shall dwell in the city; and there shall be no more any curse, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely.

12 Hii ndiyo tauni ambayo Bwana atapiga nayo mataifa yote ambayo yalipigana dhidi ya Yerusalemu: Nyama ya miili yao itaoza wangali wamesimama kwa miguu yao, macho yao yataoza kwenye matundu yake na ndimi zao zitaoza vinywani mwao.

And this shall be the overthrow with which the Lord will smite all the nations, as many as have fought against Jerusalem; their flesh shall consume away while they are standing upon their feet, and their eyes shall melt out of their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13 Katika siku hiyo Bwana atawatia wanaume hofu kuu. Kila mwanaume atakamata mkono wa mwenzake nao watashambuliana.

And there shall be in that day a great panic from the Lord upon them; and they shall lay hold every man of the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall be clasped with the hand of his neighbour.

14 Yuda pia atapigana katika Yerusalemu. Utajiri wa mataifa yote yanayoizunguka Yerusalemu utakusanywa, wingi wa dhahabu, fedha na nguo.

Juda also shall fight in Jerusalem; and [God] shall gather the strength of all the nations round about, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

15 Tauni ya aina iyo hiyo itapiga farasi na nyumbu, ngamia na punda, nao wanyama wote walioko kwenye kambi za adui.

And this shall be the overthrow of the horses, and mules, and camels, and asses, and all the beasts that are in those camps, according to this overthrow.

16 Kisha walionusurika katika mataifa yote ambayo yaliushambulia Yerusalemu watakuwa wakipanda Yerusalemu kila mwaka kumwabudu Mfalme, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote na kuadhimisha Sikukuu ya Vibanda.

And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall be left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem, shall even come up every year to worship the king, the Lord Almighty, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 Ikiwa taifa lolote la dunia hawatakwenda Yerusalemu kumwabudu Mfalme, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, mvua haitanyesha kwao.

And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever of all the families of the earth shall not come up to Jerusalem to worship the king, the Lord Almighty, even these shall be added to the others.

18 Ikiwa watu wa Misri nao hawatakwenda kushiriki, hawatapata mvua. Bwana ataleta juu yao tauni ile ambayo itawapiga mataifa yale ambayo hayatakwenda kuadhimisha Sikukuu ya Vibanda.

And if the family of Egypt shall not go up, nor come; then upon them shall be the overthrow with which the Lord shall smite all the nations, whichever of them shall not come up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19 Hii itakuwa adhabu ya Misri na adhabu ya mataifa yote yale ambayo hayatakwenda Yerusalemu kuadhimisha Sikukuu ya Vibanda.

This shall be the sin of Egypt, and the sin of all the nations, whosoever shall not come up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 Katika siku hiyo, kengele zilizofungwa kwenye farasi zitaandikwa maneno haya: Takatifu kwa Bwana, navyo vyungu vya kupikia katika nyumba ya Bwana vitakuwa kama bakuli takatifu mbele ya madhabahu.

In that day there shall be upon the bridle of every horse Holiness to the Lord Almighty; and the caldrons in the house of the Lord shall be as bowls before the altar.

21 Kila chungu kilichoko Yerusalemu na Yuda kitakuwa kitakatifu kwa Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote na wote wanaokuja kutoa dhabihu watachukua baadhi ya vyungu hivyo na kupikia. Katika siku hiyo hatakuwepo tena mfanyabiashara katika nyumba ya Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.

And every pot in Jerusalem and in Juda shall be holy to the Lord Almighty: and all that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and shall seethe [meat] in them: and in that day there shall be no more the Chananite in the house of the Lord Almighty.
