This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint.

3:14 The song of happiness
14 Tsiyon’s (Zion’s) daughter, sing happily.
≈ All Yisrael (Israel), shout aloud.
Daughters of Yerushalem (Jerusalem), be happy and triumphant will all your being.
15 Yahweh will stop punishing you.
He’s forced your enemy to retreat.
Yisrael’s king, Yahweh, is among you.
Don’t worry any more about being harmed.
16 In that day Yerushalem will be told,
“Don’t be afraid, Tsiyon (Zion).
Don’t let your hands grow weak.
17 Your god Yahweh is right there.
A powerful warrior, he’ll save you.
He’ll talk happily about your rescue.”
18 I will gather those among you who grieve so they can attend the celebrations.
They were taken as tribute and it was a reproach.
19 Look, I’ll be dealing with all of your oppressors at that time.
I’ll save your people who are disabled or who’ve been shamed.
and change their shame into a good reputation around the world.
20 At that time I will bring you all in—
≈ yes, I’ll gather you all together at that time.
You’ll have a good reputation and people all over the world will praise you,
as I restore your good fortune right in front of your eyes.
Yahweh has spoken.
