زَكَريَّا 13

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

On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David, and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

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.

And it will be on that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land and they will be remembered no more. And the prophets and the unclean spirit I will banish 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 any man prophesy any more, his father and his mother who bore him, will say to him, ‘You will not live, for you speak falsehood in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and his mother who bore him will stab him through when he is seized by the prophetic frenzy.

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

And it will be in that day that the prophets will be ashamed, each of his vision, and will not wear the hairy mantle in order to deceive.

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

Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet, a tiller of the ground am I, for the ground is my possession from my youth.’

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

And they will say to him, ‘What are these scars on your back?’ And he will say, ‘The scars which I received in the house of my friends.’

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

Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who stands near to me, says the Lord of hosts. I will strike the shepherd so that the sheep may be scattered, I will turn my hand against the little ones.

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

In all the land, says the Lord, two-thirds in it will be cut off and die, but a third will be left in it.

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 bring the third into the fire, and melt it as one melts silver, and test it as one tests gold. Then they will call on my name, and I myself will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people.’ They will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’
