Zechariah 14
New Living Translation
The Lord Will Rule the Earth
14 Watch, for the day of the Lord is coming when your possessions will be plundered right in front of you! 2 I will gather all the nations to fight against Jerusalem. The city will be taken, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the population will be taken into captivity, and the rest will be left among the ruins of the city.
3 Then the Lord will go out to fight against those nations, as he has fought in times past. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. And the Mount of Olives will split apart, making a wide valley running from east to west. Half the mountain will move toward the north and half toward the south. 5 You will flee through this valley, for it will reach across to Azal.[a] Yes, you will flee as you did from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all his holy ones with him.[b]
6 On that day the sources of light will no longer shine,[c] 7 yet there will be continuous day! Only the Lord knows how this could happen. There will be no normal day and night, for at evening time it will still be light.
8 On that day life-giving waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half toward the Dead Sea and half toward the Mediterranean,[d] flowing continuously in both summer and winter.
9 And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one Lord—his name alone will be worshiped.
10 All the land from Geba, north of Judah, to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become one vast plain. But Jerusalem will be raised up in its original place and will be inhabited all the way from the Benjamin Gate over to the site of the old gate, then to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. 11 And Jerusalem will be filled, safe at last, never again to be cursed and destroyed.
12 And the Lord will send a plague on all the nations that fought against Jerusalem. Their people will become like walking corpses, their flesh rotting away. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 On that day they will be terrified, stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will fight their neighbors hand to hand. 14 Judah, too, will be fighting at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the neighboring nations will be captured—great quantities of gold and silver and fine clothing. 15 This same plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the other animals in the enemy camps.
16 In the end, the enemies of Jerusalem who survive the plague will go up to Jerusalem each year to worship the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters. 17 Any nation in the world that refuses to come to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, will have no rain. 18 If the people of Egypt refuse to attend the festival, the Lord will punish[e] them with the same plague that he sends on the other nations who refuse to go. 19 Egypt and the other nations will all be punished if they don’t go to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
20 On that day even the harness bells of the horses will be inscribed with these words: Holy to the lord. And the cooking pots in the Temple of the Lord will be as sacred as the basins used beside the altar. 21 In fact, every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. All who come to worship will be free to use any of these pots to boil their sacrifices. And on that day there will no longer be traders[f] in the Temple of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

Biblia del Jubileo
14 He aquí, el día del SEÑOR viene, y tus despojos serán repartidos en medio de ti.
2 Porque yo reuniré a todos los gentiles en batalla contra Jerusalén; y la ciudad será tomada, y las casas serán saqueadas, y las mujeres serán forzadas; y la mitad de la ciudad irá en cautiverio, mas el remanente del pueblo no será talado de la ciudad.
3 Y saldrá el SEÑOR, y peleará con aquellos gentiles, como peleó el día de la batalla.
4 Y se afirmarán sus pies en aquel día sobre el Monte de las Olivas, que está en frente de Jerusalén a la parte del oriente; y el Monte de las Olivas, se partirá por medio de sí hacia el oriente y hacia el occidente, haciendo un muy grande valle; y la mitad del monte se apartará hacia el norte, y la otra mitad hacia el mediodía.
5 Y huiréis al valle de los montes; porque el valle de los montes llegará hasta Azal; y huiréis de la manera que huisteis por causa del terremoto en los días de Uzías, rey de Judá; y vendrá el SEÑOR mi Dios, y todos sus santos con él.
6 Y acontecerá que en ese día no habrá luz clara, ni oscura.
7 Y será un día, el cual es conocido del SEÑOR, que ni será día ni noche; mas acontecerá que al tiempo de la tarde habrá luz.
8 Acontecerá también en aquel día, que saldrán de Jerusalén aguas vivas; la mitad de ellas hacia el mar oriental, y la otra mitad hacia el mar occidental, en verano y en invierno.
9 Y el SEÑOR será Rey sobre toda la tierra. En aquel día el SEÑOR será uno, y su nombre uno.
10 Y toda la tierra se tornará como llanura desde Gabaa hasta Rimón al mediodía de Jerusalén; y ésta será enaltecida, y será habitada en su lugar desde la puerta de Benjamín hasta el lugar de la puerta primera, hasta la puerta de los rincones; y desde la torre de Hananeel hasta los lagares del rey.
11 Y morarán en ella, y nunca más será anatema, sino que será Jerusalén habitada confiadamente.
12 Y ésta será la plaga con que herirá el SEÑOR a todos los pueblos que pelearon contra Jerusalén: la carne de ellos se disolverá estando ellos sobre sus pies, y se consumirán sus ojos en sus cuencas, y su lengua se les deshará en su boca.
13 Y acontecerá en aquel día que habrá en ellos gran quebrantamiento de parte del SEÑOR; porque trabará cada uno de la mano de su compañero, y levantará su mano contra la mano de su compañero.
14 Y Judá también peleará contra Jerusalén. Y serán reunidas las riquezas de todos los gentiles de alrededor: oro, plata, y ropas de vestir, en gran abundancia.
15 Y tal como esto, será la plaga de los caballos, de los mulos, de los camellos, de los asnos, y de todas las bestias que estuvieren en los ejércitos.
16 Y todos los que quedaren de las naciones que vinieron contra Jerusalén, subirán de año en año a adorar al Rey, al SEÑOR de los ejércitos, y a celebrar la Fiesta de los Tabernáculos.
17 Y acontecerá, que los de las familias de la tierra que no subieren a Jerusalén a adorar al Rey, el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, no vendrá sobre ellos lluvia.
18 Y si la familia de Egipto no subiere, y no viniere, sobre ellos no habrá lluvia; antes vendrá sobre ellos la plaga con que el SEÑOR herirá los gentiles que no subieren a celebrar la Fiesta de los Tabernáculos.
19 Esta será la pena del pecado de Egipto, y del pecado de todos los gentiles que no subieren a celebrar la Fiesta de los Tabernáculos.
20 En aquel tiempo estará grabado sobre las campanillas de los caballos: SANTIDAD AL SEÑOR; y las ollas en la casa del SEÑOR serán como los tazones delante del altar.
21 Y será toda olla en Jerusalén y en Judá Santidad al SEÑOR de los ejércitos; y todos los que sacrificaren, vendrán y tomarán de ellas, y cocerán en ellas; y no habrá más mercader en la Casa del SEÑOR de los ejércitos en aquel tiempo.
Zechariah 14
New International Version
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.
2 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) 3 Then the Lord will go out and fight(G) against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.(H) 4 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. 5 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)
6 On that day there will be neither sunlight(N) nor cold, frosty darkness. 7 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)
8 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)
9 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)
