耶和华的日子

14 看啊,耶和华的日子快到了,那时你那里的财物必被抢掠、瓜分。 因为我必招聚万国去攻打耶路撒冷。那时,城必失守,房屋必被洗劫,妇女必被玷污。半城的人必被掳去,剩下的人必留在城中,不会被铲除。 那时,耶和华必出来与列国争战,像从前争战的日子一样。 到那天,祂的脚必踏在耶路撒冷东面的橄榄山上,这山必从东至西分成两半,一半向北移,一半向南移,中间形成极大的山谷。 你们要从我的这山谷逃跑,因为山谷必延伸到亚萨。你们必像犹大王乌西雅年间的人躲避大地震一样逃跑。我的上帝耶和华必带着所有的圣者降临。 到那天,将没有光、严寒和冰霜。 那将是奇特的日子,没有昼夜之分,晚上仍然有光,只有上帝知道那日何时来临。

到那天,必有活水从耶路撒冷涌出,一半流向死海,一半流向地中海,冬夏不变。 耶和华必做普世的王。到那天,必唯祂独尊,唯祂的名独尊。 10 从迦巴直到耶路撒冷南边的临门,整个地区都要变为平原。从便雅悯门到旧门,再到角门,从哈楠业楼到王的榨酒池——耶路撒冷必仍然矗立在原处。 11 城内必有人居住,不再遭毁灭的咒诅。耶路撒冷必安享太平。

12 耶和华必降瘟疫给攻打耶路撒冷的列邦,使他们活着的时候皮肉已经腐烂,眼睛在眼眶中腐烂,舌头在口中腐烂。 13 到那天,耶和华必使他们慌乱不堪,彼此揪住,互相殴打。 14 犹大也必在耶路撒冷争战,四围列国的财物——大量的金银和衣服必被收聚起来。 15 同样的瘟疫也必降在马匹、骡子、骆驼、驴和营中的其他牲畜身上。

16 前来攻打耶路撒冷的列国中的幸存者,必每年上来敬拜大君王——万军之耶和华,并且守住棚节。 17 地上万族中若有人不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王——万军之耶和华,他们必没有雨水。 18 埃及人若不上来敬拜,也必没有雨水,耶和华必使他们和不上来守住棚节的列国一样遭受瘟疫。 19 这将是埃及和不上来守住棚节的列国所得的惩罚。 20 到那天,马铃上也必刻上“献给耶和华”的字样。耶和华殿内的锅必像祭坛前的碗一样圣洁。 21 耶路撒冷和犹大的锅都是万军之耶和华的圣物,来献祭的人都可以用这些锅煮祭肉。到那天,万军之耶和华的殿中必再也没有商人。

耶和華的日子

14 看啊,耶和華的日子快到了,那時你那裡的財物必被搶掠、瓜分。 因為我必招聚萬國去攻打耶路撒冷。那時,城必失守,房屋必被洗劫,婦女必被玷污。半城的人必被擄去,剩下的人必留在城中,不會被剷除。 那時,耶和華必出來與列國爭戰,像從前爭戰的日子一樣。 到那天,祂的腳必踏在耶路撒冷東面的橄欖山上,這山必從東至西分成兩半,一半向北移,一半向南移,中間形成極大的山谷。 你們要從我的這山谷逃跑,因為山谷必延伸到亞薩。你們必像猶大王烏西雅年間的人躲避大地震一樣逃跑。我的上帝耶和華必帶著所有的聖者降臨。 到那天,將沒有光、嚴寒和冰霜。 那將是奇特的日子,沒有晝夜之分,晚上仍然有光,只有上帝知道那日何時來臨。

到那天,必有活水從耶路撒冷湧出,一半流向死海,一半流向地中海,冬夏不變。 耶和華必做普世的王。到那天,必唯祂獨尊,唯祂的名獨尊。 10 從迦巴直到耶路撒冷南邊的臨門,整個地區都要變為平原。從便雅憫門到舊門,再到角門,從哈楠業樓到王的榨酒池——耶路撒冷必仍然矗立在原處。 11 城內必有人居住,不再遭毀滅的咒詛。耶路撒冷必安享太平。

12 耶和華必降瘟疫給攻打耶路撒冷的列邦,使他們活著的時候皮肉已經腐爛,眼睛在眼眶中腐爛,舌頭在口中腐爛。 13 到那天,耶和華必使他們慌亂不堪,彼此揪住,互相毆打。 14 猶大也必在耶路撒冷爭戰,四圍列國的財物——大量的金銀和衣服必被收聚起來。 15 同樣的瘟疫也必降在馬匹、騾子、駱駝、驢和營中的其他牲畜身上。

16 前來攻打耶路撒冷的列國中的倖存者,必每年上來敬拜大君王——萬軍之耶和華,並且守住棚節。 17 地上萬族中若有人不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王——萬軍之耶和華,他們必沒有雨水。 18 埃及人若不上來敬拜,也必沒有雨水,耶和華必使他們和不上來守住棚節的列國一樣遭受瘟疫。 19 這將是埃及和不上來守住棚節的列國所得的懲罰。 20 到那天,馬鈴上也必刻上「獻給耶和華」的字樣。耶和華殿內的鍋必像祭壇前的碗一樣聖潔。 21 耶路撒冷和猶大的鍋都是萬軍之耶和華的聖物,來獻祭的人都可以用這些鍋煮祭肉。到那天,萬軍之耶和華的殿中必再也沒有商人。

Yehova Akubwera ndipo Akulamulira

14 Taonani tsiku la Yehova likubwera pamene zinthu zimene adani ako anakulanda azidzagawana iwe ukuona.

Ndidzasonkhanitsa anthu a mitundu yonse kuti adzathire nkhondo Yerusalemu; mzindawu udzalandidwa, nyumba zidzaphwasulidwa, ndipo akazi adzagwiriridwa. Theka la anthu a mu mzindamu lidzapita ku ukapolo, koma ena onse otsala mu mzindamu sadzachotsedwa.

Pamenepo Yehova adzabwera kudzamenyana ndi mitundu ya anthu imeneyi, ngati mmene amachitira pa nthawi ya nkhondo. Tsiku limenelo adzayimirira pa Phiri la Olivi, kummawa kwa Yerusalemu, ndipo Phiri la Olivilo lidzagawikana pawiri kuyambira kummawa mpaka kumadzulo, kupanga chigwa chachikulu, kuchititsa kuti theka la phiri lisunthire kumpoto ndi linalo kummwera. Inu mudzathawa podzera mʼchigwa chapakati pa phirilo, pakuti chidzafika mpaka ku Azeli. Mudzathawa monga munachitira pa tsiku la chivomerezi nthawi ya Uziya mfumu ya Yuda. Kenaka Yehova Mulungu wanga adzabwera, pamodzi ndi oyera ake onse.

Tsiku limenelo sipadzakhala kuwala, kuzizira kapena chisanu. Lidzakhala tsiku lapaderadera, silidzakhala usana kapena usiku; tsiku limeneli akulidziwa ndi Yehova yekha. Ikadzafika nthawi ya madzulo, kudzakhala kukuwalabe.

Tsiku limenelo madzi amoyo adzatuluka mu Yerusalemu, theka lidzapita ku nyanja ya kummawa ndipo theka lina ku nyanja ya kumadzulo, nthawi yachilimwe ndi nthawi yozizira yomwe.

Ndipo Yehova adzakhala mfumu pa dziko lonse lapansi. Tsiku limenelo padzakhala Ambuye mmodzi yekha, ndipo dzina lidzakhala limodzi lomwelo.

10 Dziko lonse, kuyambira ku Geba mpaka ku Rimoni, kummwera kwa Yerusalemu, lidzakhala ngati Araba. Koma Yerusalemu adzakwezedwa ndipo adzakhala pamalo pakepo, kuyambira ku Chipata cha Benjamini mpaka ku malo amene ali ku Chipata Choyamba, ku Chipata Chapangodya, ndipo kuyambira ku Nsanja ya Hananeli mpaka ku malo opsinyira mphesa za mfumu. 11 Mʼmenemo mudzakhala anthu; sadzawonongedwanso. Yerusalemu adzakhala pa mtendere.

12 Mliri umene Yehova adzakanthire nawo mitundu yonse ya anthu imene inkamenyana ndi Yerusalemu ndi uwu: Matupi awo adzawola iwo eni akuyenda, maso awo adzawola ali mʼmalo mwake, ndipo malilime awo adzawola ali mʼkamwa mwawo. 13 Pa tsiku limenelo Yehova adzasokoneza anthu akuluakulu. Munthu aliyense adzagwira dzanja la mnzake, ndi kuyamba kumenyana okhaokha. 14 Yuda nayenso adzachita nkhondo ku Yerusalemu. Chuma chonse cha anthu a mitundu yozungulira adzachisonkhanitsa pamodzi; golide, siliva ndi zovala zochuluka kwambiri. 15 Mliri womwewo udzapha akavalo ndi nyulu, ngamira ndi abulu, pamodzi ndi nyama zonse zokhala ku misasako.

16 Kenaka opulumuka ochokera mwa mitundu yonse ya anthu amene anathira nkhondo Yerusalemu, azidzapita chaka ndi chaka kukapembedza Mfumu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, ndiponso kukachita Chikondwerero cha Misasa. 17 Ngati mitundu ina ya anthu pa dziko lapansi sidzapita ku Yerusalemu kukapembedza Mfumu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, idzakhala wopanda mvula. 18 Ndipo ngati anthu a ku Igupto sadzapita ndi kukakhala nawo kumeneko, adzakhala wopanda mvula. Yehova adzabweretsa pa iwo mliri umene analangira mitundu ina ya anthu imene sinapite ku Chikondwerero cha Misasa. 19 Chimenechi chidzakhala chilango cha Igupto ndiponso mitundu ina yonse imene sidzapita ku Chikondwerero cha Misasa.

20 Pa tsiku limenelo pa maberu a akavalo padzalembedwa mawu oti wopatulikira Yehova, ndipo miphika ya mʼNyumba ya Yehova idzakhala yopatulika ngati mbale za ku guwa. 21 Mʼphika uliwonse ku Yerusalemu ndi ku Yuda udzakhala wopatulikira Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, ndipo onse amene adzabwera kudzapereka nsembe adzatenga miphika ina ndi kuphikiramo. Ndipo nthawi imeneyo simudzakhalanso Akanaani mʼNyumba ya Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.

The Lord Comes and Reigns

14 A day of the Lord(A) is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions(B) will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.

I will gather all the nations(C) to Jerusalem to fight against it;(D) the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.(E) Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.(F) Then the Lord will go out and fight(G) against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.(H) On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,(I) east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split(J) in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[a](K) in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come,(L) and all the holy ones with him.(M)

On that day there will be neither sunlight(N) nor cold, frosty darkness. It will be a unique(O) day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night.(P) When evening comes, there will be light.(Q)

On that day living water(R) will flow(S) out from Jerusalem, half of it east(T) to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.(U)

The Lord will be king(V) over the whole earth.(W) On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.(X)

10 The whole land, from Geba(Y) to Rimmon,(Z) south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up(AA) high from the Benjamin Gate(AB) to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,(AC) and from the Tower of Hananel(AD) to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.(AE) 11 It will be inhabited;(AF) never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.(AG)

12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike(AH) all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.(AI) 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.(AJ) They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.(AK) 14 Judah(AL) too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected(AM)—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague(AN) will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors(AO) from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship(AP) the King,(AQ) the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AR) 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship(AS) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.(AT) 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[b] will bring on them the plague(AU) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AV) 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AW)

20 On that day holy to the Lord(AX) will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots(AY) in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls(AZ) in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy(BA) to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day(BB) there will no longer be a Canaanite[c](BC) in the house(BD) of the Lord Almighty.(BE)

14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

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

10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.

11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.
