< Zacarias 13 >

1 “Iti dayta nga aldaw, addanto ti ubbog a malukatan nga agpaay iti balay ni David ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem, para iti basol ken kinarugitda.
“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 Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw,”—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin—”a pukawekto dagiti nagan dagiti didiosen iti daga tapno saanton a malagip dagiti tattao dagitoy. Papanawekto met iti daga dagiti palso a profeta ken dagiti narugit nga espirituda.
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 No itultuloy ti siasinoman nga agipadto, ibaganto kenkuana ti ama ken inana a nangipasngay kenkuana, 'Saanka nga agbiag, ta agsasaoka iti inuulbod iti nagan ni Yahweh!' Ket no agipadto isuna, duyokento isuna ti ama ken inana a nangipasngay kenkuana.
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 Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw a mabain a mangipakaammo ti tunggal palso a profeta iti sirmatana inton agipadto isuna. Saanton nga agkawes dagitoy a profeta iti kagay a dutdotan, tapno mangallilaw kadagiti tattao.
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 Ta ibaganto ti tunggal maysa, 'Saanak a profeta! Mannalonak, ta nagtaltalonak manipud pay idi kinaagtutubok!'
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 Ngem ibaganto ti maysa a tao kenkuana, 'Ania dagitoy a sugat iti nagbaetan dagiti takkiagmo?' agulbodto ket isungbatna, 'Nasugatak iti balay ti gayyemko.”'
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 “Kampilan! Inka rauten ti parapastorko, ti tao a nasinged a kaduak” — daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin. “Papatayem ti parapastor, ket maiwarawaranto ti arban! Ta idissuorko ti imak kadagiti nakapuy.
“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 Ket mapasamakto iti entero a daga”—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—”ta matayto ti dua a kakatlo a paset daytoy! Matayto dagidiay a tattao; ti kakatlo laeng a paset ti mabati sadiay.
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 Paglasatekto iti apuy dayta a kakatlo a paset ket gugorakto ida a kas iti pannakagugor ti pirak; gugorakto ida kas iti pannakagugor ti balitok. Umawagdanto iti naganko, ket sungbatakto ida a kunak, “Dagitoy dagiti tattaok!’ ket kunadanto, 'Ni Yahweh ti Diosko!”'
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.’”
