Zekariya 13

1 “Pa tsiku limenelo nyumba ya Davide adzayitsekulira kasupe wa madzi pamodzi ndi okhala mu Yerusalemu, kuti awachotsere tchimo lawo ndi chodetsa chawo.

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for purification and for sprinkling.

2 “Pa tsiku limenelo, ndidzafafaniziratu mayina a mafano mʼdziko, ndipo sadzawakumbukiranso,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. “Ndidzachotsa mʼdziko aneneri pamodzi ndi mzimu wonyansa.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

3 Ndipo ngati wina aliyense adzafuna kunenera, abambo ndi amayi ake amene anamubereka, adzamuwuza kuti, ‘Uyenera kufa, chifukwa wayankhula bodza mʼdzina la Yehova.’ Pamene anenera, makolo ake omwe adzamubaya.

And it shall come to pass that, when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begot him shall say unto him: 'Thou shalt not live, for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD'; and his father and his mother that begot him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

4 “Pa tsiku limenelo mneneri aliyense adzachita manyazi chifukwa cha masomphenya ake. Sadzavala chovala chake chaubweya ndi cholinga chonamiza anthu.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be brought to shame every one through his vision, when he prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive;

5 Iye adzati, ‘Sindine mneneri. Ndine mlimi; ndakhala ndi kulima munda kuyambira ubwana wanga.’

but he shall say: 'I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondman from my youth.'

6 Ngati wina adzamufunsa, ‘Zilonda zili mʼthupi lakoli ndi chiyani?’ Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Zilondazi ndinazilandira mʼnyumba ya abwenzi anga.’

And one shall say unto him: 'What are these wounds between thy hands?' Then he shall answer: 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'

7 “Dzambatuka iwe lupanga, ukanthe mʼbusa wanga, ukanthe munthu amene ali pafupi ndi Ine!” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Kantha mʼbusa ndipo nkhosa zidzabalalika, ndipo ndidzatambalitsa dzanja langa kuwononga zazingʼono.

Awake, O sword, against My shepherd, and against the man that is near unto Me, saith the LORD of hosts; smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn My hand upon the little ones.

8 Mʼdziko monse, akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, “zigawo ziwiri mwa zigawo zitatu za anthu zidzakanthidwa ndi kuwonongeka; koma chigawo chimodzi chidzatsala mʼdzikomo.

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

9 Chigawo chachitatuchi ndidzachiyika pa moto; ndidzawayeretsa monga momwe amayeretsera siliva ndi kuwayesa monga momwe amayesera golide. Adzayitana pa dzina langa ndipo Ine ndidzawayankha; Ine ndidzanena kuti, ‘Awa ndi anthu anga,’ ndipo iwo adzanena kuti, ‘Yehova ndiye Mulungu wathu.’”

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried; they shall call on My name, and I will answer them; I will say: 'It is My people', and they shall say: 'The LORD is my God.'
