Zakari 13
1 “Nan jou sa a, va gen yon fontèn dlo ki va ouvri pou lakay David, e pou sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, pou peche ak salte.
“In that day there will be a fountain opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
2 “Li va vin rive nan jou sa a”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “ke Mwen va koupe retire non a zidòl yo soti nan peyi a, e yo p ap sonje yo ankò. Mwen va osi retire pwofèt yo ak lespri pa pwòp la soti nan peyi a.
It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.
3 Lè yon moun va pwofetize, alò, papa l ak manman l ki te fè l la va di li: ‘Ou p ap viv, paske ou pale sa ki fo nan non SENYÈ a.’ Konsa, papa li ak manman li ki te fè l la, va fwennen l lè li pwofetize.
It will happen that when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in Yahweh’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.
4 Anplis, li va vin rive nan jou sa a, ke tout pwofèt yo va vin wont de vizyon yo fè, lè yo ap pwofetize. Yo p ap mete gwo wòb fèt an pwal pou twonpe moun;
It will happen in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they won’t wear a hairy mantle to deceive,
5 men yon pwofèt va di: ‘Mwen pa yon pwofèt; mwen se yon kiltivatè tè a, paske mwen se yon sèvitè atache nèt depi mwen jèn.’
but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’
6 Konsa, yon moun va vin di l: ‘Ki blesi sa ki nan mitan bra ou yo?’ Epi li va reponn: ‘Sa yo se blesi ke mwen te pran lakay zami mwen yo.’
One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’
7 “Leve, O nepe, kont bèje Mwen an, e kont nonm nan ki byen pre M,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo. Frape bèje a pou mouton yo ka gaye; epi Mwen va vire men M kont jenn ti piti yo.
“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 “Sa va vin rive nan tout peyi a” deklare SENYÈ a, “Ke de pati nan li va vin koupe retire pou l mouri; men twazyèm pati a va rete ladann l.
It shall happen that in all the land,” says Yahweh, “two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
9 “Konsa, Mwen va mennen fè pase twazyèm pati a nan dife. Mwen va rafine yo tankou yo rafine ajan, e pase yo a leprèv tankou lò. Yo va rele non Mwen, e Mwen va tande yo. Mwen va di: ‘Yo se pèp Mwen’, e yo va di: ‘SENYÈ a, se Bondye mwen an.’”
I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”
