Sakaria 14
Svenska Folkbibeln
Herrens dag kommer
14 Se, Herrens dag kommer! Då skall man dela bytet bland er.
2 Ty jag skall samla alla hednafolk
till strid mot Jerusalem.
Staden kommer att intas,
husen plundras
och kvinnorna våldtas.
Halva staden skall föras bort i fångenskap.
Men återstoden skall inte bli utrotad.
3 Sedan skall Herren gå ut i strid mot dessa hednafolk,
så som han stred förr på drabbningens dag.
4 På den dagen skall han stå med sina fötter på Oljeberget,
mitt emot Jerusalem, österut.
Och Oljeberget skall delas mitt itu,
från öster till väster,
till en mycket stor dal
genom att ena hälften av berget viker undan mot norr
och andra hälften mot söder.
5 Och ni skall fly ner i dalen mellan mina berg,
ty dalen mellan bergen skall sträcka sig till Asel.
Ni skall fly som när ni flydde för jordbävningen
på Ussias, Juda kungs, tid.
Då skall Herren, min Gud, komma
och alla heliga med dig.
6 Det skall ske på den dagen
att ljuset blir borta, himlens ljus skall förmörkas.
7 Det blir en särskild dag, känd av Herren,
inte dag och inte natt.
Men det skall ske att när aftonen kommer
blir det ljust.
8 Det skall ske på den dagen
att rinnande vatten skall utgå från Jerusalem,
ena hälften mot Östra havet
och andra hälften mot Västra havet.
Både sommar och vinter skall det vara så.
9 Herren skall vara konung
över hela jorden.
På den dagen skall det ske:
Herren är en
och hans namn är ett.
10 Hela landet, från Geba till Rimmon, söder om Jerusalem, skall förvandlas till en slätt. Men staden skall vara upphöjd och förbli på sin plats, från Benjaminsporten till den plats där den förra porten stod, till Hörnporten, och från Hananeltornet till de kungliga vinpressarna.
11 Folket skall bo där i ro
och aldrig mer lämnas till undergång.
Jerusalem skall bo i trygghet.
12 Detta är den plåga med vilken Herren skall slå alla de folk som drar ut mot Jerusalem:
Han skall låta deras kött ruttna medan de ännu står på sina fötter,
deras ögon skall ruttna i sina hålor,
och deras tunga skall ruttna i deras mun.
13 Det skall ske på den dagen
att Herren skall sända stor förvirring bland dem.
De skall bära hand på varandra,
och den enes hand skall lyftas mot den andres.
14 Också Juda skall föra krig i Jerusalem.
Och skatter skall samlas från alla hednafolk runt omkring,
guld, silver och kläder i stor mängd.
15 Plågan skall på samma sätt
drabba hästar och mulåsnor,
kameler och åsnor
och alla andra djur där i lägren.
Hednafolken tillber Konungen
16 Det skall ske att var och en som är kvar av alla de hednafolk som kom emot Jerusalem skall dra dit upp, år efter år, för att tillbe konungen, Herren Sebaot, och för att fira lövhyddohögtiden. 17 Men om någon av jordens folkstammar inte drar upp till Jerusalem för att tillbe konungen, Herren Sebaot, skall inget regn komma över dem. 18 Om Egyptens folkstam inte drar upp och kommer dit, skall inte heller något regn komma. Detta blir den plåga som Herren skall slå hednafolken med, de som inte drar upp för att fira lövhyddohögtiden. 19 Detta skall vara det straff som drabbar Egypten, ja, det straff som drabbar alla hednafolk som inte drar upp för att fira lövhyddohögtiden.
20 På den dagen skall det på hästarnas bjällror stå: "Helgad åt Herren ", och grytorna i Herrens hus skall vara som offerskålarna framför altaret. 21 Varje gryta i Jerusalem och Juda skall vara helgad åt Herren Sebaot, så att var och en som frambär offer kan komma och ta en sådan för att laga till köttet. Ingen kanané[a] skall mer finnas i Herren Sebaots hus på den dagen.

Zechariah 14
1599 Geneva Bible
14 8 Of the doctrine that shall proceed out of the Church, and of the restoration thereof.
1 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be [a]divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken, and the houses spoiled, and the women defiled, and half of the city shall go into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then the Lord shall go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he [b]fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the [c]mount of olives, which is before Jerusalem on the Eastside, and the mount of olives shall cleave in the midst thereof: toward the East and toward the West there shall be a very great [d]valley, and half of the mountain shall remove toward the North, and half of the mountain toward the South.
5 And ye shall flee unto the [e]valley of the mountains: for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee like as ye fled from the [f]earthquake, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord [g]my God shall come, and all the Saints with thee.
6 And in that day shall there be no clear light but dark.
7 And there shall be a day (it is known to the Lord) [h]neither day nor night, but about the evening time it shall be light.
8 And in that day shall there [i]waters of life go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the East sea, and half of them toward the uttermost sea, and shall be, both in summer and winter.
9 And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one [j]Lord, and his Name shall be one.
10 All the land shall be turned [k]as a plain from Geba to Rimmon, toward the 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 Hananiel unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more destruction, but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all people, that have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away, though they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume in their holes, and their tongue shall consume in their mouth.
13 But in that day [l]a great tumult of the Lord shall be among them, and everyone shall take [m]the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14 And Judah shall fight also against Jerusalem, and the arm of all the heathen shall be gathered round about, with [n]gold and silver, and great abundance of apparel.
15 Yet this shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel and of the ass, and of all the beasts that be in these tents at this [o]plague.
16 But it shall come to pass that everyone that is left of all the nations, which came against Jerusalem, shall go up from year to year to worship the King the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of Tabernacles.
17 And who so 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 come no rain.
18 And if the family of [p]Egypt go not up, and come not, it shall not rain upon them. This shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all 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 the nations that come not up to keep the feast of Tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be written upon the [q]bridles of the horses, The holiness unto the Lord, and the [r]pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy unto the Lord of hosts, [s]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.

King James Version
14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 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.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 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.
5 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.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
Zechariah 14
New King James Version
The Day of the Lord(A)
14 Behold, (B)the day of the Lord is coming,
And your [a]spoil will be divided in your midst.
2 For (C)I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses [b]rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then the Lord will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
4 And in that day His feet will stand (D)on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
(E)Making a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.
5 Then you shall flee through My mountain valley,
For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal.
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the (F)earthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
6 It shall come to pass in that day
That there will be no light;
The [d]lights will diminish.
7 It shall be one day
(I)Which is known to the Lord—
Neither day nor night.
But at (J)evening time it shall happen
That it will be light.
8 And in that day it shall be
That living (K)waters shall flow from Jerusalem,
Half of them toward [e]the eastern sea
And half of them toward [f]the western sea;
In both summer and winter it shall occur.
9 And the Lord shall be (L)King over all the earth.
In that day it shall be—
(M)“The Lord is one,”
And His name one.
10 All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. [g]Jerusalem shall be raised up and (N)inhabited in her place from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, (O)and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.
11 The people shall dwell in it;
And (P)no longer shall there be utter destruction,
(Q)But Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:
Their flesh shall [h]dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.
13 It shall come to pass in that day
That (R)a great panic from the Lord will be among them.
Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor,
And raise (S)his hand against his neighbor’s hand;
14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem.
(T)And the wealth of all the surrounding nations
Shall be gathered together:
Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.
15 (U)Such also shall be the plague
On the horse and the mule,
On the camel and the donkey,
And on all the cattle that will be in those camps.
So shall this plague be.
The Nations Worship the King
16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall (V)go up from year to year to (W)worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep (X)the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 (Y)And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18 If the family of (Z)Egypt will not come up and enter in, (AA)they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This shall be the [i]punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
20 In that day (AB)“HOLINESS TO THE LORD” shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The (AC)pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21 Yes, [j]every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the Lord of hosts. Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no longer be a (AD)Canaanite (AE)in the house of the Lord of hosts.
