14  Nana, kei te haere mai te ra o Ihowa, a ka wehewehea ou taonga parakete i roto i a koe.

Na ka huihuia e ahau nga iwi katoa ki te tatau ki Hiruharama, a ka horo te pa, ka pahuatia nga whare, ka moea nga wahine; a ko tetahi hawhe o te pa ka riro hei whakarau, e kore ano ia te toenga o te iwi e hatepea atu i roto i te pa.

Katahi a Ihowa ka haere atu, ka whawhai ki aua iwi, ka rite ki te ra i whawhai ai ia i te ra o te tatauranga.

Na ka tu ona waewae i taua ra ki runga ki Maunga Oriwa, ki tera i te ritenga atu o Hiruharama ki te rawhiti, a ka pakaru a Maunga Oriwa i waenganui ona ki te rawhiti; ki te hauauru, nui atu te awaawa, a ka neke atu tetahi hawhe o te maunga ki te raki, tetahi hawhe ona ki te tonga.

A ka oma atu koutou ki te awaawa i oku maunga; no te mea ka tutuki atu te takiwa o nga maunga ki Atara: na, ko ta koutou oma ka rite ki to koutou omanga atu i te ru i nga ra o Utia kingi o Hura: tera ano a Ihowa, toku Atua, e haere mai, ko te hun ga tapu katoa hei hoa mou.

Na i taua ra e kore te marama e purotu, e kore ano e pouri.

Erangi kotahi tonu taua ra, he mea e mohiotia ana e Ihowa, ehara i te ra, ehara i te po; na i nga wa o te ahiahi ka marama.

Na i taua ra ka puta he wai ora i Hiruharama, ko tetahi hawhe ki te moana i te rawhiti, ko tetahi hawhe ki te moana i te uru: i te raumati taua hanga, i te hotoke ano.

A ko Ihowa hei kingi mo te whenua katoa: i taua ra he kotahi a Ihowa, he kotahi ano tona ingoa.

10 A hei mania katoa te whenua a taka noa, i Kepa tae noa ki Rimona, ki te tonga o Hiruharama; a ka neke ake taua pa, ka noho ki tona wahi ano, ki te kuwaha o Pineamine tae noa ki te wahi i te kuwaha tuatahi, ki te kuwaha i te koki, ki te pourewa o Hananeere tae noa ki nga poka waina a te kingi.

11 Ka nohoia ano a reira, a heoi ano whakangaromanga; a ka noho a Hiruharama i runga i te rangimarie.

12 Ko te whiu ano tenei e whiua ai e Ihowa nga iwi katoa i whawhai nei ki Hiruharama; ka pirau o ratou kikokiko i te mea e tu ana o ratou waewae, ka pirau o ratou kanohi i roto i nga pae, ka pirau ano o ratou arero i roto i o ratou mangai.

13 I taua ra he nui ta Ihowa whakaoho i roto i a ratou; a ka hopu ratou i te ringa o tona hoa, o tona hoa, ka ara ake ano o ratou ringa ki te ringa o tona hoa, o tona hoa.

14 Tera ano a Hura ka whawhai ki Hiruharama; a ka huihuia nga rawa o nga iwi katoa a taka noa, te koura, te hiriwa, nga kakahu, nui atu.

15 A ka pera ano te mate o te hoiho, o te muera, o te kamera, o te kaihe, o nga kararehe katoa i roto i enei puni me tenei whiu.

16 Tenei ake, na, ko nga morehu katoa o nga iwi katoa i haere mai ki te whawhai ki Hiruharama, ka haere mai i ia tau, i ia tau, ki te koropiko ki te Kingi, ki a Ihowa o nga mano, ki te whakarite hoki i te hakari whare wharau.

17 Na, ko te tangata o nga hapu o te whenua ka kore e haere mai ki Hiruharama ki te koropiko ki te Kingi, ki a Ihowa o nga mano, kahore he ua mo ratou.

18 A ki te kahore te hapu o Ihipa e haere mai, e tae mai, te hunga kahore nei he ua mo ratou, ka pa ano te whiu e whiua ai e Ihowa nga iwi kahore nei e haere mai ki te whakarite i te hakari whare wharau.

19 Ko te utu hara tenei mo Ihipa, ko te utu hara ano mo nga iwi katoa e kore e haere mai ki te whakarite i te hakari whare wharau.

20 I taua ra ka piri ki nga pere o nga hoiho, HE TAPU KI A IHOWA; ka rite hoki nga kohua i roto i te whare o Ihowa ki nga peihana i mua i te aata.

21 Ina, ko nga kohua katoa i Hiruharama, i a Hura, he tapu ki a Ihowa o nga mano, a ka haere mai te hunga katoa e patu whakahere ana, ka tango i etahi hei kohua ma ratou: kahore hoki he Kanaani a muri ake nei i roto i te whare o Ihowa o nga mano i taua ra.

The Lord Comes and Reigns

14 A day of the Lord(A) is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions(B) will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.

I will gather all the nations(C) to Jerusalem to fight against it;(D) the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.(E) Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.(F) Then the Lord will go out and fight(G) against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.(H) On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,(I) east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split(J) in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[a](K) in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come,(L) and all the holy ones with him.(M)

On that day there will be neither sunlight(N) nor cold, frosty darkness. It will be a unique(O) day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night.(P) When evening comes, there will be light.(Q)

On that day living water(R) will flow(S) out from Jerusalem, half of it east(T) to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.(U)

The Lord will be king(V) over the whole earth.(W) On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.(X)

10 The whole land, from Geba(Y) to Rimmon,(Z) south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up(AA) high from the Benjamin Gate(AB) to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,(AC) and from the Tower of Hananel(AD) to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.(AE) 11 It will be inhabited;(AF) never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.(AG)

12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike(AH) 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.(AI) 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.(AJ) They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.(AK) 14 Judah(AL) too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected(AM)—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague(AN) will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors(AO) from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship(AP) the King,(AQ) the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AR) 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship(AS) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.(AT) 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[b] will bring on them the plague(AU) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AV) 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AW)

20 On that day holy to the Lord(AX) will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots(AY) in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls(AZ) in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy(BA) to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day(BB) there will no longer be a Canaanite[c](BC) in the house(BD) of the Lord Almighty.(BE)
