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.

Ese día se abrirá una fuente que brotará continuamente porque la casa de David y el pueblo de Jerusalén para limpiar su pecado e impureza.

2 And it shall come to pass in that day, says 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.

Ese día, declara el Señor Todopoderoso, eliminaré la idolatría de la tierra, y no habrá nunca más memoria de los ídolos. Yo quitaré a los falsos profetas y al espíritu de impureza de la tierra.

3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you speak lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesies.

Si alguno sigue profetizando, su padre o madre le dirán: “No vivirás, porque has engañado en nombre del Señor”. Entonces sus padres lo matarán, porque ha profetizado.

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

Ese día, tales profetas sentirán vergüenza de profetizar sus supuestas visiones. Para engañar no se pondrán más sus vestiduras de profetas, hechas de pelo áspero.

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

Dirán entonces: “No soy profeta, soy un granjero. He labrado la tierra desde que era pequeño”.

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

Y si alguien le pregunta: “¿Cuál es el motivo de esas heridas en tu espalda?” él responderá: “Fui herido en la casa de un amigo”.

7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, says the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand on the little ones.

¡Levántate, espada mía! ¡Ataca a mi pastor, al hombre que ha estado junto a mi! declara el Señor. Golpea al pastor y las ovejas serán dispersas, y yo levantaré mi mano contra los corderos.

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

Dos tercios de los habitantes de la tierra serán destruidas, y solo un tercio quedará, dice el Señor.

9 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.

Yo pondré este tercio en el fuego, y lo refinaré como la plata, los probaré como se prueba al oro. Ellos clamarán por mi ayuda, y yo les responderé. Diré: “Este es mi pueblo”, y ellos dirán: “El Señor es mi Dios”.
