< 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。」
In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for separation.
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。
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, [that] I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer [any] remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit 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。
And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you has spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying.
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。
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied.
5 他必說:『我不是先知,我是耕地的;我從幼年作人的奴僕。』
And [one] shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up [thus] from my youth.
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。』」
And I will say to him, What are these wounds between your hands? and he shall say, [Those] with which I was wounded in my beloved 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。
Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the man [who is] my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little 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。
And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, says the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein.
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。
And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord [is] my God.
