Zakarias 13

1 På hin Dag skal en Kilde vælde frem for Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyggere mod Synd og Urenhed.

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

2 Og på hin bag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, udrydder jeg Afgudernes Navne af Landet, så de ikke mer skal ihukommes; også Profeterne og Urenhedens Ånd driver jeg ud af Landet.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, [that] I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

3 Når nogen da atter profeterer, skal hans egne Forældre, hans Fader og Moder, sige til ham: Du har forbrudt dit Liv, thi du har talt Løgn i HERRENs Navn." Og hans egne Forældre, hans Fader og Moder, skal gennembore ham, når han profeterer.

And it shall come to pass, [that] when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

4 På hin Dag skal hver en Profet skamme sig over sine Syner, når han profeterer, og han skal ikke klæde sig i lådden Kappe for at føre Folk bag Lyset,

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:

5 men sige: "Jeg er ingen Profet; jeg er Bonde og har dyrket Jord fra min Ungdom."

But he shall say, I [am] no prophet, I [am] an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

6 Og spørger man ham: "Hvad er det for Sår på dit Bryst?" skal han sige: "Dem fik jeg i mine Boleres Hus."

And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my friends.

7 Frem, Sværd, imod min Hyrde, mod Manden, som står mig nær, så lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE. Hyrden vil jeg slå, så Fårehjorden spredes; mod Drengene løfter jeg Hånden.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

8 Og i hele Landet lyder det fra HERREN, skal to Tredjedele udryddes og udånde, men een Tredjedel skal levnes.

And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left therein.

9 Og denne Tredjedel fører jeg i Ild og renser den, som man renser Sølv, prøver den, som man prøver Guld. Den skal påkalde mit Navn, og jeg svarer; jeg siger: "Den er mit Folk." Og den skal sige: "HERREN er min Gud."

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It [is] my people: and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God.
