撒迦利亞書 13
1 「那日，必給大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民開一個泉源，洗除罪惡與污穢。」
“On that day a spring will be opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for their sin and impurity.
2 萬軍之耶和華說：「那日，我必從地上除滅偶像的名，不再被人記念；也必使這地不再有假先知與污穢的靈。
On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will cut off the names of the idols from the land and they will no longer be remembered. I will remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.
3 若再有人說預言，生他的父母必對他說：『你不得存活，因為你託耶和華的名說假預言。』生他的父母在他說預言的時候，要將他刺透。
If any man continues to prophesy, his father and mother who bore him will tell him, 'You will not live, for you speak lies in the name of Yahweh!' Then the father and mother who bore him will pierce him when he prophesies.
4 那日，凡作先知說預言的必因他所論的異象羞愧，不再穿毛衣哄騙人。
On that day each prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he is about to prophesy. These prophets will no longer wear a hairy cloak, in order to deceive the people.
5 他必說：『我不是先知，我是耕地的；我從幼年作人的奴僕。』
For each will say, 'I am not a prophet! I am a man who works the soil, for the land became my work while I was still a young man!'
6 必有人問他說：『你兩臂中間是甚麼傷呢？』他必回答說：『這是我在親友家中所受的傷。』」
But someone will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' and he will answer, 'I was wounded with those in my friends' house.'”
7 萬軍之耶和華說： 刀劍哪，應當興起， 攻擊我的牧人和我的同伴。 擊打牧人，羊就分散； 我必反手加在微小者的身上。
“Sword! Rouse yourself against my shepherd, the man who stands close to me— this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the flock will scatter! For I will turn my hand against the lowly ones.
8 耶和華說：這全地的人， 三分之二必剪除而死， 三分之一仍必存留。
Then it will come about that throughout all the land—this is Yahweh's declaration— that two-thirds of it will be cut off! Those people will perish; only one-third will remain there.
9 我要使這三分之一經火， 熬煉他們，如熬煉銀子； 試煉他們，如試煉金子。 他們必求告我的名， 我必應允他們。 我要說：這是我的子民。 他們也要說：耶和華是我們的上帝。
I will bring that third through the fire and refine them as silver is refined; I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them and say, 'This is my people!' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God!'”
