1 I taua ra ka tuwhera he puna mo te whare o Rawiri, mo nga tangata ano o Hiruharama, hei mea mo te hara, mo te poke.
“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the people of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
2 I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka hatepea atu e ahau nga ingoa o nga whakapakoko i runga i te whenua; e kore ano e maharatia a muri ake nei; ka kore ano i ahau nga poropiti, me te wairua poke, i runga i te whenua.
And on that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will erase the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will also remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.
3 Na, tenei ake, ki te poropiti tetahi a muri ake nei, ka mea tona papa ki a ia, raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai ia, E kore koe e ora; kua korero teka hoki koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa: na ka werohia ia e tona papa raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai i a, ina poropiti ia.
And if anyone still prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You shall not remain alive, because you have spoken falsely in the name of the LORD.’ When he prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will pierce him through.
4 I taua ra ka whakama nga poropiti, tenei, tenei, ki tana kite, i te mea ka poropiti ia; e kore ano e kakahuria e ratou he kakahu huruhuru hei mea tinihanga.
And on that day every prophet who prophesies will be ashamed of his vision, and he will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
5 Engari ka mea ia, Ehara ahau i te poropiti, he paruauru ahau, he pononga hoki ahau no toku taitamarikitanga ake.
He will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I work the land, for I was purchased as a servant in my youth.’
6 A ka mea tetahi ki a ia, He aha enei patunga i ou ringa? a ka mea ia, Ko oku patunga i roto i te whare o oku hoa aroha.
If someone asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your chest?’ he will answer, ‘These are the wounds I received in the house of my friends.’
7 E ara, e te hoari, ki taku hepara, ki te tangata i takahoatia ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano; patua te hepara, kia marara hoki nga hipi; ka tahuri atu ano toku ringa ki nga mea ririki.
Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the man who is My Companion, declares the LORD of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn My hand against the little ones.
8 Na i te whenua katoa, e ai ta Ihowa, e rua nga wahi o reira ka hatepea atu, ka mate; ka toe ia te tuatoru o nga wahi ki reira.
And in all the land, declares the LORD, two-thirds will be cut off and perish, but a third will be left in it.
9 Ka kawea ano e ahau te tuatoru o nga wahi i roto i te ahi, ka tahia hoki te para, ka peratia me te hiriwa e tahia ana, ka whakamatautauria ano ratou e ahau, ka peratia me te koura; ka karanga ratou ki toku ingoa, a ka whakarongo ahau ki a ratou: ka mea ahau, He iwi ratou naku; a ka mea ratou, Ko Ihowa toku Atua.
This third I will bring through the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”
