Zekaria 14

1 Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke gbɔna esi woama wò nuhahawo na mi.

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

2 Maƒo dukɔwo katã nu ƒu be woava awɔ avu kple Yerusalem, woaxɔ du la, woalɔ aƒewo katã ƒioƒioƒio, eye woalé nyɔnuwo sesẽtɔe adɔ kpli wo. Woakplɔ du la ƒe afã ayi aboyo mee, gake ame mamlɛawo atsi dua me.

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 Ekema Yehowa ado, awɔ aʋa kple dukɔ siawo abe ale si wòwɔa aʋae le aʋagbedzi ene.

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

4 Gbe ma gbe la, atsi tsitre ɖe Amito si le Yerusalem ƒe ɣedzeƒe la dzi, eye Amito la ama ɖe eve kpla, ɖeka ayi ɣedzeƒe, evelia ayi ɣetoɖoƒe. Bali gã aɖe anɔ wo dome ale be to la ƒe afã ayi anyiehe, eye afã ayi dziehe.

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 Miasi ato nye to la ƒe balime, elabena akeke va se ɖe keke Azel. Miasi abe ale si miesi le Yuda fia Uzia ƒe ŋkekewo me esime anyigba ʋuʋu la ene. Ekema Yehowa, nye Mawu la ava, eye kɔkɔetɔwo katã anɔ eŋu.

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 Gbe ma gbe la, akaɖi, vuvɔ alo afu manɔ anyi o.

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

7 Anye ŋkeke tɔxɛ, elabena ŋkeke alo zã manɔ anyi o. Yehowa koe nya ŋkeke sia. Ne zã do la, kekeli ava.

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 Gbe ma gbe la, agbetsi asi tso Yerusalem, afã asi ayi ɖe ɣedzeƒeƒu la me, eye afã asi ayi ɣetoɖoƒeƒu la me. Anɔ alea le dzomeŋɔli kple vuvɔŋɔli siaa.

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 Yehowa aɖu fia ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi. Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa ɖeka koe anɔ anyi, eye eya ko ƒe ŋkɔe anɔ anyi.

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

10 Anyigba blibo la, tso Geba yi Rimon le Yerusalem ƒe dziehe, anɔ abe Araba ene. Ke woakɔ Yerusalem ɖe dzi, eye wòanɔ eteƒe tso Benyamingbo la nu yi ɖe Agbo Gbãtɔ nu, yi ɖe Dzogoegbo la nu, eye tso Hananel ƒe Gbetakpɔxɔ gbɔ va se ɖe fiawo ƒe wainfiaƒe.

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 Amewo anɔ eme, eye womagagbãe azɔ o. Dedinɔnɔ anɔ Yerusalem ɖaa.

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

12 Esiae nye dɔvɔ̃ si Yehowa akplɔ aƒu dukɔ siwo katã wɔ avu kple Yerusalem: woƒe ŋutilãwo aƒaƒã le esime wogale afɔ dzi le yiyim. Woƒe ŋkuwo avo ɖe tome na wo, eye woƒe aɖewo aƒaƒã ɖe nu me na wo.

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 Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa atsɔ ŋɔdzi aƒo ŋutsuwoe; ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe aku ɖe nɔvia ƒe asi ŋu, eye woawɔ avu kple wo nɔewo.

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 Yuda hã awɔ avu le Yerusalem; woaƒo dukɔ siwo katã ƒo xlã wo la ƒe kesinɔnuwo nu ƒu, sika kple klosalo gbogbo aɖe kple nudodowo.

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 Dɔvɔ̃ sia tɔgbi adze sɔwo, lãɖisɔwo, kposɔwo, tedziwo kple lã siwo katã le woƒe asaɖawo me la dzi.

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 Ame siwo katã tsi agbe tso dukɔ siwo wɔ avu kple Yerusalem me la ayi aɖasubɔ Fia si nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ƒe sia ƒe, eye woaɖu Agbadɔmeŋkekenyuiwo.

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 Ne ame siwo le anyigba la dzi dometɔ aɖe meyi ɖe Yerusalem ɖasubɔ Fia si nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la o la, tsi madza na wo o.

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 Ne Egiptetɔwo meyi ɖakpɔ gome le eme o la, tsi madza na wo o. Yehowa aƒo wo kple dɔvɔ̃ siwo wòtsɔ ƒo dukɔ siwo meyi ɖe Agbadɔmeŋkekenyuiɖuƒe o.

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 Esia anye Egipte kple dukɔ bubu siwo meyi Agbadɔmeŋkekenyuiɖuƒe o la ƒe tohehe.

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

20 Gbe ma gbe la, woaŋlɔ ɖe gavi siwo wode kɔ na sɔwo la dzi be, “Èle kɔkɔe na Yehowa,” eye nuɖaze siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me la anɔ abe agba kɔkɔe siwo le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe ŋkume ene.

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 Nuɖaze ɖe sia ɖe si le Yerusalem kple Yuda la anɔ kɔkɔe na Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, eye ame siwo katã va vɔsaƒe la atsɔ nuɖaze aɖewo aɖa nu le wo me, eye gbe ma gbe la, Kanaantɔ aɖeke maganɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe gbedoxɔ me o.

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.
