撒迦利亚书 14
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶和華的日子
14 看哪!耶和華的日子快到,人要在你中間分取你的掠物。 2 因為我必招聚列國與耶路撒冷作戰,城必被佔領,房屋被搶掠,婦女被強姦。城中的居民必有半數被擄去,剩下的人民必不會從這城裡被剪除。
3 那時,耶和華要出去,與那些國家作戰,像他以前在戰爭的日子作戰一樣。 4 到那日,他的腳必站在對著耶路撒冷,在東面的橄欖山上;這橄欖山必從中間裂開,由東至西成為極大的山谷。山的一半向北挪移,一半向南挪移。 5 你們要經由我的山谷逃跑,因為山谷必伸展到亞薩;你們要逃跑,好像在猶大王烏西雅年間逃避大地震一樣。耶和華我的 神必來臨,所有的聖者都與他(“與他”《馬索拉文本》作“與你”)同來。
6 到那日,必沒有光、寒冷和嚴霜。 7 那將是獨特的一天,只有耶和華知道;那天不再分白晝和黑夜,因為在晚上仍有光明。
8 到那日,必有活水從耶路撒冷流出來;一半流往東海,另一半流往西海;冬天夏天都是這樣。
普世的王
9 耶和華必作全地的王;到那日,人人都承認耶和華是獨一無二的,他的名也是獨一無二的。
10 全地,從迦巴直到耶路撒冷南方的臨門,都要變成平原;但耶路撒冷仍必屹然聳立,從便雅憫門到第一門的地方,到角門,又從哈楠業樓到王的榨酒池,都在原處。 11 城中必有人居住,必不再有毀滅的咒詛,耶路撒冷的人必安然居住。
敵國的審判與刑罰
12 這是耶和華用來擊打那些與耶路撒冷爭戰的萬族的災疫:他們雙腳仍然站地的時候,他們的肌肉必腐爛,他們的眼球必在眼眶裡腐爛,他們的舌頭必在口腔中腐爛。 13 到那日,耶和華必使他們大大慌亂,他們各人互相抓住對方的手,並舉起手來互相攻擊。 14 猶大也必在耶路撒冷爭戰;四圍列國的財物都必被收聚起來,有極多的金子、銀子和衣服。 15 照樣,像這類的災疫也必臨到馬匹、騾子、駱駝、驢和在營中的一切牲畜身上。
萬民前來敬拜 神
16 所有前來攻擊耶路撒冷的列國中剩下的人,必年年上來敬拜大君王萬軍之耶和華,並且守住棚節。 17 地上的萬族中,凡是不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王萬軍之耶和華的,就必沒有雨降給他們。 18 埃及族若不上來參加,就必沒有雨降給他們,這就是耶和華用來擊打那些不上來守住棚節的列國的災禍。 19 這就是埃及的刑罰,也是所有不上來守住棚節的列國的懲罰。
20 到那日,馬的鈴鐺上必有“歸耶和華為聖”這句話;耶和華殿裡的鍋必好像祭壇前獻祭用的碗一樣。 21 耶路撒冷和猶大所有的鍋都必歸萬軍之耶和華為聖;獻祭的,都必來取這些鍋,用來煮祭肉。到那日,在萬軍之耶和華的殿中,必不再有商人(“商人”原文作“迦南人”)。
Zechariah 14
EasyEnglish Bible
The Lord comes
14 There will be a day when your enemies will take away everything. They will take away everything that is yours. They will each have some of your things.
2 I will bring soldiers from all countries to fight against Jerusalem. They will go into the city and they will rob the houses. They will have sex with the women. They will lead away half the people to other countries. They will let the other half stay in Jerusalem.
3 Then the Lord will go out. And he will fight against the people from those countries as in past years.
4 On that day, the Lord's feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. This mountain is east of Jerusalem. It will break in two from east to west and it will make a wide valley. Half of the mountain will move north and half of the mountain will move south.
5 In the time of Uzziah, king of Judah, you ran away when the earth moved. You will do this again. Then the Lord will come. And all those who are holy will come with him.[a]
6 On that day, it will not be light in some places and dark in other places.
7 It will be a day like no other day. There will be no night. When it is evening, there will still be light. Only the Lord himself will know that day.
8 On that day, water will come out from Jerusalem. Half of this water will go towards the sea in the east. Half of this water will go towards the sea in the west. This will go on during summer and winter.
9 The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day, there will be only one Lord and he will have only one name.
10 All the land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become flat. But Jerusalem will rise and it will be high in its place. The city will be from the Gate of Benjamin to the Corner Gate and to the High Building of Hananel. The place where the servants of the king make his wine will be in it too.
11 Jerusalem will be safe. People will live there. Nobody will destroy Jerusalem ever again.
12 The Lord will make the people sick that fought against Jerusalem. Their bodies will become bad as they stand on their feet. Their eyes will become bad and they will fall out. And their tongues will become bad in their mouths.
13 On that day, the Lord will make men so afraid that each man will attack the man next to him.
14 Judah also will go to Jerusalem and they will fight. They will take every good thing from all the countries. There will be a lot of expensive metals and many rich clothes.
15 The horses and all the other animals will be sick. And they will die as the soldiers died.
16 Some of the soldiers from the countries that attacked Jerusalem will not die. They will go to Jerusalem year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty. They will worship him at the Feast of Huts.[b]
17 All the people on the earth will have to go to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty. If any people on the earth do not go, they will have no rain.
18 If the people from Egypt do not go to Jerusalem to worship the Lord, they will have no rain. And the Lord will make them sick. If the people from other countries will not go to Jerusalem, the Lord will make them sick. They will die.
19 This will happen to the people from Egypt. This will happen to the people from all the countries that do not go up to Jerusalem at that time.
20 On that day, men will write the words, ‘This is for the Lord’ on the bells of the horses. The pots that anyone uses to cook with in the house of the Lord will be special. They will be as special as the dishes in front of the altar.
21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be for the Lord Almighty. All the people who come to offer animals to the Lord will cook in those pots. On that day, nobody who sells things will come into the house of the Lord Almighty.

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)
