< 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].
У тај ће дан бити отворен извор дому Давидовом и становницима јерусалимским за грех и за нечистоту.
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].
И у тај ћу дан, говори Господ над војскама, истребити из земље имена идолима да се више не спомињу, и пророке и нечисти дух уклонићу из земље.
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].
И ако ко још успророкује, рећи ће му отац његов и мати његова, који га родише: Нећеш бити жив, јер си говорио лаж у име Господње. И отац ће га његов и мати његова, који га родише, пробости, што пророкова.
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.
И у тај ће се дан стидети пророци, сваки своје утваре, кад би пророковао, и неће се огртати плаштем од кострети да би лагали.
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!’
Него ће сваки рећи: Нисам пророк, ратар сам, јер ме човек најми од младости моје.
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.’”
И ако му ко рече: Какве су ти то ране на рукама? Он ће одговорити: Допадох их у кући пријатеља својих.
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].”
Мачу, устани на пастира мог, и на човека друга мог, говори Господ над војскама, удари пастира, и овце ће се разбећи, али ћу окренути руку своју к малима.
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.
И у свој земљи, говори Господ, два ће се дела истребити у њој и погинути, а трећи ће остати у њој;
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.’”
И ту ћу трећину метнути у огањ, и претопићу их како се претапа сребро, и окушаћу их како се куша злато, они ће призвати име моје, и ја ћу им се одазвати и рећи ћу: То је мој народ; а они ће рећи: Господ је Бог наш.
