Zechariah 13
1 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.
“Saa da no, wobetu asubura ama Dawidfi ne Yerusalemfo de ahohoro wɔn bɔne ne wɔn ho fi.
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah 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.
“Saa da no, meyi ahoni no din afi asase no so, na wɔrenkae wɔn bio,” sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni. “Meyi adiyifo ne fi honhom afi asase no so.
3 And it shall come to pass, if any shall yet prophesy, that his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of Jehovah; and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
Sɛ obi kɔ so hyɛ nkɔm a agya ne ɛna a wɔwoo saa nipa no bɛka akyerɛ no se, ‘Ɛsɛ sɛ wuwu, efisɛ, wode Awurade din atwa atoro.’ Sɛ ɔhyɛ nkɔm a, ɔno ankasa awofo bɛwɔ no afoa.
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive.
“Saa da no, odiyifo biara ani bewu wɔ ne nkɔmhyɛ anisoadehu ho. Ɔrenhyɛ odiyifo atade a wɔde nwi ayɛ no mfa nnaadaa nnipa.
5 And he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for man acquired me [as bondman] from my youth.
Ɔbɛka se, ‘Menyɛ odiyifo. Meyɛ okuafo. Na efi me mmerantebere mu, asase yi so na minya mʼano aduan.’
6 And one shall say unto him, What are those wounds in thy hands? And he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
Na sɛ obi bisa no se, ‘Akuru bɛn na ɛwɔ wo ho yi a?’ Obebua se, ‘Ɛyɛ akuru a minyaa wɔ me nnamfonom fi.’”
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, even against the man [that is] my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered, and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.
“Sɔre, afoa, sɔre tia me guanhwɛfo, tia onipa a ɔbɛn me!” Sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni. “Bɔ oguanhwɛfo no, na nguan no bɛbɔ ahwete, na mɛma me nsa so atia nguantenmma no.
8 And it shall come to pass in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left therein.
Asase no so nyinaa,” sɛnea Awurade se ni, “Wɔbɛbɔ nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu abien ahwe fam ma wɔawuwu; na nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako bɛka wɔ so.
9 And I will bring the third part into 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 answer them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.
Mede nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako yi bɛfa ogya mu; mɛnan wɔn te sɛnea wɔnan dwetɛ, na masɔn wɔn so sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ. Wɔbɛbɔ me din afrɛ me, na megye wɔn so. Mɛka se, ‘Wɔyɛ me nkurɔfo,’ na wɔbɛka se, ‘Awurade yɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn.’”
