زَكَريّا 13

١ 1 «فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَتَفَجَّرُ يَنْبُوعٌ لِيُطَهِّرَ ذُرِّيَّةَ دَاوُدَ وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ إِثْمِهِمْ وَنَجَاسَتِهِمْ.

"In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

٢ 2 وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَسْتَأْصِلُ أَسْمَاءَ الأَصْنَامِ مِنَ الأَرْضِ فَلا يَعُودُ لَهَا ذِكْرٌ، وَأُلاشِي الأَنْبِيَاءَ الْكَذَبَةَ وَالرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ.

It will come to pass in that day, says YHWH of hosts, 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.

٣ 3 وَإِنْ تَنَبَّأَ أَحَدٌ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، يَطْعَنُهُ أَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ اللَّذَانِ أَنْجَبَاهُ قَائِلَيْنِ: لابُدَّ أَنْ تَمُوتَ لأَنَّكَ نَطَقْتَ بِالزُّورِ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.

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 the name of YHWH;' and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.

٤ 4 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَعْتَرِي الْخِزْيُ كُلَّ نَبِيٍّ كَاذِبٍ يَتَنَبَّأُ مِنْ رُؤْيَاهُ، وَلا يَرْتَدِي مُسُوحَ الشَّعْرِ لِيَكْذِبَ.

It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:

٥ 5 إِنَّمَا يَقُولُ: أَنَا لَسْتُ نَبِيًّا. أَنَا رَجُلٌ فَلّاحٌ أَحْرُثُ الأَرْضَ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ.

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.'

٦ 6 وَعِنْدَمَا يَسْأَلُهُ أَحَدٌ: مَا هَذِهِ الْجُرُوحُ فِي يَدَيْكَ؟ يُجِيبُهُ: هِيَ الَّتِي جُرِحْتُ بِها فِي بَيْتِ أَحِبَّائِي».

One will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your hands?' Then he will answer, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'

٧ 7 وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «اسْتَيْقِظْ أَيُّهَا السَّيْفُ وَهَاجِمْ رَاعِيَّ وَرَجُلَ رِفْقَتِي. اضْرِبِ الرَّاعِي فَتَتَبَدَّدَ الْخِرَافُ. وَلَكِنِّي أَرُدُّ يَدِي عَنِ الصِّغَارِ (أَيِ الْقِلَّةِ الْمُؤْمِنَةِ).

"Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me," says YHWH of hosts. "I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

٨ 8 يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ فَيَفْنَى ثُلْثَا شَعْبِ أَرْضِي وَيَبْقَى ثُلْثُهُمْ حَيًّا فَقَطْ.

It shall happen that in all the land," says YHWH, "two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.

٩ 9 فَأُجِيزُ هَذَا الثُّلْثَ فِي النَّارِ لأُنَقِّيَهُ تَنْقِيَةَ الْفِضَّةِ، وَأَمْحَصَهُ كَمَا يُمْحَصُ الذَّهَبُ. هُوَ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِي وَأَنَا أَسْتَجِيبُهُ. أَنَا أَقُولُ: هُوَ شَعْبِي، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: الرَّبُّ هُوَ إِلَهِي».

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, 'YHWH is my God.'"
