< Zechariah 14 >

1 Behold, a day of the LORD comes, when your plunder will be divided within you.
Ecce venient dies Domini, et dividentur spolia tua in medio tui.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go out into captivity, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.
Et congregabo omnes Gentes ad Ierusalem in prælium, et capietur civitas, et vastabuntur domus, et mulieres violabuntur: et egredietur media pars civitatis in captivitatem, et reliquum populi non auferetur ex urbe.
3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Et egredietur Dominus, et præliabitur contra Gentes illas, sicut præliatus est in die certaminis.
4 His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move towards the north, and half of it towards the south.
Et stabunt pedes eius in die illa super Montem olivarum, qui est contra Ierusalem ad Orientem: et scindetur Mons olivarum ex media parte sui ad Orientem, et ad Occidentem prærupto grandi valde, et separabitur medium montis ad Aquilonem, et medium eius ad Meridiem.
5 You shall flee by the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel. Yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. The LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with you.
Et fugietis ad vallem montium eorum, quoniam coniungetur vallis montium usque ad proximum: et fugietis sicut fugistis a facie terræmotus in diebus Oziæ regis Iuda: et veniet Dominus Deus meus, omnesque sancti cum eo.
6 It will happen in that day that there will not be light, cold, or frost.
Et erit in die illa: Non erit lux, sed frigus et gelu.
7 It will be a unique day which is known to the LORD—not day, and not night; but it will come to pass that at evening time there will be light.
Et erit dies una, quæ nota est Domino, non dies neque nox: et in tempore vesperi erit lux.
8 It will happen in that day that living waters will go out from Jerusalem, half of them towards the eastern sea, and half of them towards the western sea. It will be so in summer and in winter.
Et erit in die illa: Exibunt aquæ vivæ de Ierusalem: medium earum ad mare Orientale, et medium earum ad mare novissimum: in æstate et in hieme erunt.
9 The LORD will be King over all the earth. In that day the LORD will be one, and his name one.
Et erit Dominus Rex super omnem terram: in die illa erit Dominus unus, et erit nomen eius unum.
10 All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses.
Et revertetur omnis terra usque ad desertum, de colle Remmon ad Austrum Ierusalem: et exaltabitur, et habitabit in loco suo a porta Beniamin usque ad locum portæ prioris, et usque ad portam angulorum: et a turre Hananeel usque ad torcularia regis.
11 Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely.
Et habitabunt in ea, et anathema non erit amplius: sed sedebit Ierusalem secura.
12 This will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh will consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth.
Et hæc erit plaga, qua percutiet Dominus omnes Gentes, quæ pugnaverunt adversus Ierusalem: Tabescet caro uniuscuiusque stantis super pedes suos, et oculi eius contabescent in foraminibus suis, et lingua eorum contabescet in ore suo.
13 It will happen in that day that a great panic from the LORD will be amongst them; and they will each seize the hand of his neighbour, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
In die illa erit tumultus Domini magnus in eis: et apprehendet vir manum proximi sui, et conseretur manus eius super manum proximi sui.
14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together: gold, silver, and clothing, in great abundance.
Sed et Iudas pugnabit adversus Ierusalem: et congregabuntur divitiæ omnium Gentium in circuitu, aurum, et argentum, et vestes multæ satis.
15 A plague like this will fall on the horse, on the mule, on the camel, on the donkey, and on all the animals that will be in those camps.
Et sic erit ruina equi, et muli, et cameli, et asini, et omnium iumentorum, quæ fuerint in castris illis, sicut ruina hæc.
16 It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, and to keep the feast of booths.
Et omnes, qui reliqui fuerint de universis Gentibus, quæ venerunt contra Ierusalem, ascendent ab anno in annum, ut adorent Regem, Dominum exercituum, et celebrent festivitatem tabernaculorum.
17 It will be that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn’t go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, on them there will be no rain.
Et erit: Qui non ascenderit de familiis terræ ad Ierusalem, ut adoret Regem, Dominum exercituum, non erit super eos imber.
18 If the family of Egypt doesn’t go up and doesn’t come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which the LORD will strike the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths.
Quod et si familia Ægypti non ascenderit, et non venerit: nec super eos erit, sed erit ruina, qua percutiet Dominus omnes Gentes, quæ non ascenderint ad celebrandam festivitatem tabernaculorum.
19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths.
Hoc erit peccatum Ægypti, et hoc peccatum omnium Gentium, quæ non ascenderint ad celebrandam festivitatem tabernaculorum.
20 In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “HOLY TO THE LORD”; and the pots in the LORD’s house will be like the bowls before the altar.
In die illa erit quod super frenum equi est, sanctum Domino: et erunt lebetes in domo Domini quasi phialæ coram altari.
21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the LORD of Hosts; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD of Hosts.
Et erit omnis lebes in Ierusalem, et in Iuda sanctificatus Domino exercituum: et venient omnes immolantes, et sument ex eis, et coquent in eis: et non erit mercator ultra in domo Domini exercituum in die illo.
