Zekaraya 13

1 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, a ga-emeghe isi iyi mmiri nye ụlọ Devid na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem. Ọ ga-abụ isi iyi a ga-eji sachapụ mmehie na adịghị ọcha ha niile.

In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for separation.

2 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, kwubiri, aga m ebipụ aha arụsị niile dị nʼala ahụ, a gaghị echetakwa ha ọzọ. Aga m esitekwa nʼala a wezuga ma ndị amụma ma mmụọ nke adịghị ọcha niile.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, [that] I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer [any] remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land.

3 Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla a ga nʼihu na-ebu amụma, nne na nna ndị mụrụ ya ga-asị ya, ‘Ị ghaghị ịnwụ nʼihi na i kwuola okwu ụgha nʼaha Onyenwe anyị.’ Mgbe onye dị otu a bukwara amụma, ọ bụ nne na nna ya ga-eji ùbe magbuo ya.

And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you has spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying.

4 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ihere ga-emekwa ndị amụma nʼihi ibu amụma banyere ọhụ nke ha hụrụ. Ha agaghị eyikwa uwe ajị anụ nke ndị amụma na-eyi nʼihi iduhie ndị mmadụ,

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied.

5 Onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-asịkwa, ‘Abụghị m onye amụma, onye ọrụ ubi ka m bụ, ọ bụ ihe si nʼala ka m ji azụ onwe m site na mgbe m bụ okorobịa.’

And [one] shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up [thus] from my youth.

6 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ajụọ, ‘Gịnị bụ ọnya ndị a niile dị gị nʼahụ?’ Ha ga-azaghachi, ‘Ọnya ndị etipụtara m nʼụlọ ndị enyi m.’

And I will say to him, What are these wounds between your hands? and he shall say, [Those] with which I was wounded in my beloved house.

7 “Teta nʼụra, gị mma agha, imegide onye ọzụzụ atụrụ m, na imegide nwoke ibe m, nke nọ m nso,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri. “Tigbuo onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, igwe atụrụ ga-agbasasịkwa. Aga m eweli aka m megide ndị dị nta.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the man [who is] my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little ones.

8 Nʼala ahụ niile,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya, “Ụzọ mmadụ abụọ nʼime ụzọ atọ ka a ga-etida, ma otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ ga-afọdụ nʼime ya.

And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, says the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein.

9 Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ a fọdụrụ ka m ga-ewebata nʼime ọkụ. Aga m eji ọkụ nụchaa ha dịka e si anụcha ọlaọcha, jiri ọkụ nwaa ha dịka e si anwa ọlaedo. Ha ga-akpọku aha m, aga m azakwa ha. Aga m asịkwa, ‘Ndị a bụ ndị m,’ Ha onwe ha ga-asịkwa, ‘Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị.’”

And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord [is] my God.
