زَكَريَّا 13

١ 1 «فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ يَنْبُوعٌ مَفْتُوحًا لِبَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَلِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ وَلِلْنَجَاسَةِ.

On that day a spring will be opened and continually flow for the house of David and for the people of Jerusalem to wash away their sin and impurity.

٢ 2 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، أَنِّي أَقْطَعُ أَسْمَاءَ ٱلْأَصْنَامِ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَلَا تُذْكَرُ بَعْدُ، وَأُزِيلُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ أَيْضًا وَٱلرُّوحَ ٱلنَّجِسَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will wipe out idol worship from the land—the idols will not be remembered any longer. I will remove the false prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

٣ 3 وَيَكُونُ إِذَا تَنَبَّأَ أَحَدٌ بَعْدُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ، وَالِدَيْهِ، يَقُولَانِ لَهُ: لَا تَعِيشُ لِأَنَّكَ تَكَلَّمْتَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. فَيَطْعَنُهُ أَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ، وَالِدَاهُ، عِنْدَمَا يَتَنَبَّأُ.

If anyone continues to prophesy, his father and mother to whom he was born will tell him, “You shall not live, because you have told lies in the Lord's name.” Then his parents shall kill him because he has prophesied.

٤ 4 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ يَخْزَوْنَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ رُؤْيَاهُ إِذَا تَنَبَّأَ، وَلَا يَلْبَسُونَ ثَوْبَ شَعْرٍ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْغِشِّ.

On that day such prophets will be too humiliated to prophesy their supposed visions. In order to deceive they will not put on their prophet's clothes made of coarse hair.

٥ 5 بَلْ يَقُولُ: لَسْتُ أَنَا نَبِيًّا. أَنَا إِنْسَانٌ فَالِحُ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ إِنْسَانًا ٱقْتَنَانِي مِنْ صِبَايَ.

They will say, “I'm not a prophet, I'm a farmer. I've worked on the land since I was a child.”

٦ 6 فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْجُرُوحُ فِي يَدَيْكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ: هِيَ ٱلَّتِي جُرِحْتُ بِهَا فِي بَيْتِ أَحِبَّائِي.

If somebody asks him, “What are those wounds on your back?” he will answer, “I was wounded in my friend's house.”

٧ 7 «اِسْتَيْقِظْ يَا سَيْفُ عَلَى رَاعِيَّ، وَعَلَى رَجُلِ رِفْقَتِي، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. اِضْرِبِ ٱلرَّاعِيَ فَتَتَشَتَّتَ ٱلْغَنَمُ، وَأَرُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى ٱلصِّغَارِ.

Wake up, my sword! Attack my shepherd, the man who stands beside me! declares the Lord. Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered, and I will raise my hand against the lambs.

٨ 8 وَيَكُونُ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنَّ ثُلْثَيْنِ مِنْهَا يُقْطَعَانِ وَيَمُوتَانِ، وَٱلثُّلْثَ يَبْقَى فِيهَا.

Two thirds of the people of the land will be cut down, only one third will remain, says the Lord.

٩ 9 وَأُدْخِلُ ٱلثُّلْثَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، وَأَمْحَصُهُمْ كَمَحْصِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَأَمْتَحِنُهُمُ ٱمْتِحَانَ ٱلذَّهَبِ. هُوَ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِي وَأَنَا أُجِيبُهُ. أَقُولُ: هُوَ شَعْبِي، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي».

I will place this one third in the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on me for help, and I will answer them. I will say, “These are my people,” and they will say, “The Lord is my God.”
