Zacharie 13

1 En ce jour-là, une source sera ouverte pour la maison de David et pour les habitants de Jérusalem, pour le péché et pour l’impureté.

In that day there will be a fountain open to the family of David and to the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for that which is unclean.

2 Et il arrivera, en ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel des armées, que je retrancherai du pays les noms des idoles, et on ne s’en souviendra plus; et j’ôterai aussi du pays les prophètes et l’esprit impur.

And it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that I will have the names of the images cut off out of the land, and there will be no more memory of them: and I will send all the prophets and the unclean spirit away from the land.

3 Et il arrivera que, si un homme prophétise encore, son père et sa mère qui l’ont engendré, lui diront: Tu ne vivras pas, car tu dis des mensonges au nom de l’Éternel. Et son père et sa mère qui l’ont engendré, le transperceront quand il prophétisera.

And if anyone goes on acting as a prophet, then his father and his mother who gave him life will say to him, You may not go on living, for you are saying what is false in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother will put a sword through him when he does so.

4 Et il arrivera, en ce jour-là, que les prophètes auront honte, chacun de sa vision, quand il prophétisera, et ils ne se vêtiront plus d’un manteau de poil pour mentir. –

And it will come about in that day that the prophets will be shamed, every man on account of his vision, when he is talking as a prophet; and they will not put on a robe of hair for purposes of deceit:

5 Et il dira: Je ne suis pas prophète; je suis un homme qui laboure la terre; car l’homme m’a acquis [comme esclave] dès ma jeunesse.

But he will say, I am no prophet, but a worker on the land; for I have been an owner of land from the time when I was young.

6 Et on lui dira: Quelles sont ces blessures à tes mains? Et il dira: Celles dont j’ai été blessé dans la maison de mes amis.

And if anyone says to him, What are these wounds between your hands? then he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

7 Épée, réveille-toi contre mon berger, contre l’homme [qui est] mon compagnon, dit l’Éternel des armées; frappe le berger, et le troupeau sera dispersé; et je tournerai ma main sur les petits.

Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.

8 Et il arrivera dans tout le pays, dit l’Éternel, que deux parties y seront retranchées et expireront; mais un tiers y demeurera de reste.

And it will come about that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an end; but the third will be still living there.

9 Et le tiers, je l’amènerai dans le feu, et je les affinerai comme on affine l’argent, et je les éprouverai comme on éprouve l’or. Ils invoqueront mon nom, et moi, je leur répondrai; je dirai: C’est ici mon peuple; et lui, dira: L’Éternel est mon Dieu.

And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
