Zechariah 14

1Behold, a day of Jehovah cometh, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

1Look, a day is coming from the LORD when your possessions will be plundered and divided up right in front of you.

2For 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.

2For I will gather all the nations to fight against Jerusalem; the city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.

3Then shall Jehovah go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

3Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, just as he fights on a day of battle.

4And 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 be cleft 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.

4On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. The Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a very large valley; half of the mountain will move north and the other half south.

5And ye shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azel; yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and Jehovah my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee.

5You will flee by my mountain valley, for the valley will reach all the way to Azel. You will flee just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

6And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall not be light; the bright ones shall withdraw themselves:

6On that day there will be no light; the sunlight and moonlight will fade.

7but it shall be one day which is known unto Jehovah; not day, and not night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light.

7It will be a unique day, known only to the LORD—not day and not night—but in the evening there will be light.

8And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

8On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the Dead Sea and half of it toward the Mediterranean Sea, flowing in both summer and winter.

9And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one.

9The LORD will be King over the whole earth. On that day the LORD will be the only one, and his name the only name.

10All the land shall be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel unto the king’s winepresses.

10The whole land, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem, will be turned into a plain. But Jerusalem will be raised up and remain in its place, from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.

11And men shall dwell therein, and there shall be no more curse; but Jerusalem shall dwell safely.

11People will live there, and it will never again be destroyed; Jerusalem will be secure.

12And this shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

12This is the plague the LORD will strike against 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.

13And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from Jehovah shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.

13On that day a great panic from the LORD will strike them. Every man will grab the hand of his neighbor, and they will attack each other.

14And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

14Judah will also fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—huge amounts of gold, silver, and clothing.

15And 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 those camps, as that plague.

15A similar plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

16Then the survivors from all the nations that attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.

17And it shall be, that whoso of all the families of the earth goeth not up unto Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain.

17If any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, no rain will fall on them.

18And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, neither shall it be upon them; there shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

18If the people of Egypt do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The LORD will strike them with the same plague he uses on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.

19This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19This will be the punishment for Egypt and all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.

20In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLY UNTO JEHOVAH; and the pots in Jehovah’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

20On that day the words 'HOLY TO THE LORD' will be written on the bells of the horses. The cooking pots in the LORD’s house will be as sacred as the bowls used before the altar.

21Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy unto Jehovah of hosts; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil therein: and in that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah of hosts.

21In fact, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. Everyone who comes to sacrifice will take some of these pots and cook in them. On that day, there will no longer be a merchant in the house of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
