Zaccharias Propheta 14
1 Ecce venient dies Domini, et dividentur spolia tua in medio tui.
A day is coming for the Lord, when your plundered possessions will be divided while you watch.
2 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.
And all the nations will gather to Jerusalem, to fight against it. The city will be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city will go into captivity, and the rest of the people left in the ruins.
3 Et egredietur Dominus, et præliabitur contra Gentes illas, sicut præliatus est in die certaminis.
Then the Lord will go forth and fight against these nations, as once he fought in the day of battle.
4 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.
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, (which is opposite Jerusalem, on the east). The Mount of Olives will be split into halves, from east to west, by an exceedingly great valley; and half of the mountain will slide northwards and half southwards.
5 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.
You will escape through my valley – the valley between the hills will extend as far as Azel, and you will flee as you fled from before the earthquake, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. But the Lord your God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
6 Et erit in die illa: Non erit lux, sed frigus et gelu.
And in that day, there will be no heat nor cold nor frost,
7 Et erit dies una, quæ nota est Domino, non dies neque nox: et in tempore vesperi erit lux.
but it will be constant day – it is known to the Lord – with neither day nor night. Even at evening time there will be light.
8 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.
And on that day living waters will flow from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea; in both summer and winter.
9 Et erit Dominus Rex super omnem terram: in die illa erit Dominus unus, et erit nomen eius unum.
The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one, and his name one.
10 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.
The land will be changed to plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, but Jerusalem will be high and inhabited as it stands, from the Benjamin Gate up to the place of the first gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate, and as far as the king’s winepresses.
11 Et habitabunt in ea, et anathema non erit amplius: sed sedebit Ierusalem secura.
Jerusalem will be inhabited, for never again will it be doomed to destruction, and its people will abide in security.
12 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.
This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples who array themselves against Jerusalem: he will make their flesh rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouth.
13 In die illa erit tumultus Domini magnus in eis: et apprehendet vir manum proximi sui, et conseretur manus eius super manum proximi sui.
On that day a great panic sent by the Lord will fall on them. Everyone will seize their neighbours and attack them.
14 Sed et Iudas pugnabit adversus Ierusalem: et congregabuntur divitiæ omnium Gentium in circuitu, aurum, et argentum, et vestes multæ satis.
Even Judah will fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of the surrounding nations will be gathered up – gold and silver and piles of clothing.
15 Et sic erit ruina equi, et muli, et cameli, et asini, et omnium iumentorum, quæ fuerint in castris illis, sicut ruina hæc.
Plague will fall upon the horses, mules, camels, and asses, and on all the animals in all those camps.
16 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.
All who are left of all the nations which fought against Jerusalem will come up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the pilgrim-feast of tabernacles.
17 Et erit: Qui non ascenderit de familiis terræ ad Ierusalem, ut adoret Regem, Dominum exercituum, non erit super eos imber.
Whoever of all the peoples of the earth will not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain.
18 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.
If the family of Egypt does not go up nor enter in, on them also will come the plague with which the Lord will strike the nations.
19 Hoc erit peccatum Ægypti, et hoc peccatum omnium Gentium, quæ non ascenderint ad celebrandam festivitatem tabernaculorum.
This will be the punishment for the sin of Egypt and the punishment for the sin of all nations which do not come up to keep the feast of the tabernacles.
20 In die illa erit quod super frenum equi est, sanctum Domino: et erunt lebetes in domo Domini quasi phialæ coram altari.
On that day there will be inscribed upon the bells of the horses, “Holy to the Lord” and the pots in the house of the Lord will be as holy as the sacrificial bowls before the altars.
21 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.
Every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of hosts and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and cook the sacrifices in them. There will be no more traffickers in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day.
