The Lord Comes and Reigns
1A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.
2I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. 3Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. 4On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake14:5 Or 5 My mountain valley will be blocked and will extend to Azel. It will be blocked as it was blocked because of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
6On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. 7It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light.
8On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
9The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.
10The whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up high from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place. 11It will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.
12This is the plague with which the Lord will strike 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. 13On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another. 14Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.
16Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 17If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. 18If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord14:18 Or part, then the Lord will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 19This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.
20On that day Holy to the Lord will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. 21Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite14:21 Or merchant in the house of the Lord Almighty.
耶和华的日子
1看啊，耶和华的日子快到了，那时你那里的财物必被抢掠、瓜分。 2因为我必招聚万国去攻打耶路撒冷。那时，城必失守，房屋必被洗劫，妇女必被玷污。半城的人必被掳去，剩下的人必留在城中，不会被铲除。 3那时，耶和华必出来与列国争战，像从前争战的日子一样。 4到那天，祂的脚必踏在耶路撒冷东面的橄榄山上，这山必从东至西分成两半，一半向北移，一半向南移，中间形成极大的山谷。 5你们要从我的这山谷逃跑，因为山谷必延伸到亚萨。你们必像犹大王乌西雅年间的人躲避大地震一样逃跑。我的上帝耶和华必带着所有的圣者降临。 6到那天，将没有光、严寒和冰霜。 7那将是奇特的日子，没有昼夜之分，晚上仍然有光，只有上帝知道那日何时来临。
8到那天，必有活水从耶路撒冷涌出，一半流向死海，一半流向地中海，冬夏不变。 9耶和华必做普世的王。到那天，必唯祂独尊，唯祂的名独尊。 10从迦巴直到耶路撒冷南边的临门，整个地区都要变为平原。从便雅悯门到旧门，再到角门，从哈楠业楼到王的榨酒池——耶路撒冷必仍然矗立在原处。 11城内必有人居住，不再遭毁灭的咒诅。耶路撒冷必安享太平。
12耶和华必降瘟疫给攻打耶路撒冷的列邦，使他们活着的时候皮肉已经腐烂，眼睛在眼眶中腐烂，舌头在口中腐烂。 13到那天，耶和华必使他们慌乱不堪，彼此揪住，互相殴打。 14犹大也必在耶路撒冷争战，四围列国的财物——大量的金银和衣服必被收聚起来。 15同样的瘟疫也必降在马匹、骡子、骆驼、驴和营中的其他牲畜身上。
16前来攻打耶路撒冷的列国中的幸存者，必每年上来敬拜大君王——万军之耶和华，并且守住棚节。 17地上万族中若有人不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王——万军之耶和华，他们必没有雨水。 18埃及人若不上来敬拜，也必没有雨水，耶和华必使他们和不上来守住棚节的列国一样遭受瘟疫。 19这将是埃及和不上来守住棚节的列国所得的惩罚。 20到那天，马铃上也必刻上“献给耶和华”的字样。耶和华殿内的锅必像祭坛前的碗一样圣洁。 21耶路撒冷和犹大的锅都是万军之耶和华的圣物，来献祭的人都可以用这些锅煮祭肉。到那天，万军之耶和华的殿中必再也没有商人。
