Zechariah 13
1 At that time [it will be as though] [MET] there will be a fountain from which water flows continually to cleanse the descendants [MTY] of [King] David and [all] the [other] people in Jerusalem from the guilt of the sins that they have committed, [especially] from becoming unacceptable to me [by worshiping idols].
Lè sa a, yon sous dlo va pete pou lave moun fanmi David yo ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo pou wete peche yo, pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo sèvi Bondye ankò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
2 The Commander of the armies of angels says, “At that time, I will prevent [people from even mentioning] the names of the idols in their country, and no one will remember them any more. I will also expel from the land all the people who falsely claim that they are prophets [DOU].
Seyè a pale, li di ankò: -Lè sa a, m'a disparèt ata non zidòl yo nan peyi a. Pesonn p'ap chonje yo ankò. M'a wete pwofèt yo nan peyi a, m'a wete nan kè tout moun lide pou yo sèvi zidòl.
3 If someone continues to prophesy [falsely], his parents must say to him, ‘You have told lies saying that Yahweh [MTY] gave those messages to you, so you must be executed.’ [So] if someone prophesies [like that], his own father and mother must stab him [and kill him].
Konsa, si yon moun vle pou l' bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, papa l' ak manman l' ki fè l' va di se pou l' mouri, paske li pran pòz se mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, Seyè a, l'ap bay, epi se pa vre, se manti l'ap bay. Pandan l'ap bay mesaj la, papa l' ak manman l' ki fè l' la va pèse l'.
4 At that time, the false prophets will be ashamed [that they claimed to have received messages from me in] their visions and prophesies [that they told to people]. They will no [longer] deceive people by wearing the clothes [that prophets usually wear], clothes made of [animals’] hair.
Lè sa a, pwofèt yo pral wont lè y'a fè yon vizyon. Yo p'ap mete rad fèt ak twal yo te konn gen sou yo. Yo p'ap ka bay manti ankò.
5 [So] each of them will say, ‘I am not [really] a prophet; I am a farmer, and I have been a farmer on my land ever since I was a boy!’
Men, tout moun va di: Se pa pwofèt mwen ye. Mwen se yon senp abitan. Depi m' piti se latè m'ap travay.
6 But someone, [seeing the wounds on one of those prophet’s bodies, will suspect that he injured himself during rituals to worship idols, and he] will ask ‘Why are those wounds on your body?’ And he [will lie, saying] ‘I was injured [when I was] at my friend’s house.’”
Si yon moun mande l': Pouki tout mak blese sa yo sou ponyèt ou? L'a reponn: Se kay yon zanmi sa rive m'.
7 The Commander of the armies of angels says, “[My] sword [APO] must strike [the one who is like] [MET] my shepherd, the man who is (my companion/very (close/dear) to me). When the shepherd is killed, [those who are like] [MET] his sheep will scatter. [And those who are like] [MET] my little sheep will [also] be attacked [IDM].”
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale, li di ankò: -Nepe, leve non! Al atake gadò mouton m' yo, moun k'ap travay avè m' lan. Touye l' pou bann mouton an ka gaye. M'ap pini ata moun ki pi piti yo.
8 Yahweh [also] says, “Two-thirds [of the people in Judah] will die [DOU]. [Only] one-third [of the people in Judah] will remain alive.
Nan tout peyi a, sou chak twa moun, de pral mouri, yonn va rete.
9 And I will test the ones that remain alive [by causing them to experience great difficulties, to find out if they will continue to worship me]. I will purify them like [MET] a man purifies gold or silver by putting it into a [very hot] fire. [Then] my people will call to me [MTY] [for help], and I will answer them. I will say [to them], ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is our God.’”
Mwen pral pase rès moun sa yo nan dife. Mwen pral netwaye yo menm jan yo netwaye ajan nan dife. Mwen pral wè ki kalite moun yo ye menm jan yo pase lò nan dife pou wè si li bon. Y'a lapriyè nan pye m', m'a reponn yo. M'a di yo se pèp pa m' yo ye. Y'a di se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye yo.
