撒迦利亚书 13

1 “那日，必给大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民开一个泉源，洗除罪恶与污秽。”

On that day a spring will be opened and continually flow for the house of David and for the people of Jerusalem to wash away their sin and impurity.

2 万军之耶和华说：“那日，我必从地上除灭偶像的名，不再被人记念；也必使这地不再有假先知与污秽的灵。

On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will wipe out idol worship from the land—the idols will not be remembered any longer. I will remove the false prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

3 若再有人说预言，生他的父母必对他说：‘你不得存活，因为你托耶和华的名说假预言。’生他的父母在他说预言的时候，要将他刺透。

If anyone continues to prophesy, his father and mother to whom he was born will tell him, “You shall not live, because you have told lies in the Lord's name.” Then his parents shall kill him because he has prophesied.

4 那日，凡作先知说预言的必因他所论的异象羞愧，不再穿毛衣哄骗人。

On that day such prophets will be too humiliated to prophesy their supposed visions. In order to deceive they will not put on their prophet's clothes made of coarse hair.

5 他必说：‘我不是先知，我是耕地的；我从幼年作人的奴仆。’

They will say, “I'm not a prophet, I'm a farmer. I've worked on the land since I was a child.”

6 必有人问他说：‘你两臂中间是什么伤呢？’他必回答说：‘这是我在亲友家中所受的伤。’”

If somebody asks him, “What are those wounds on your back?” he will answer, “I was wounded in my friend's house.”

7 万军之耶和华说： 刀剑哪，应当兴起， 攻击我的牧人和我的同伴。 击打牧人，羊就分散； 我必反手加在微小者的身上。

Wake up, my sword! Attack my shepherd, the man who stands beside me! declares the Lord. Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered, and I will raise my hand against the lambs.

8 耶和华说：这全地的人， 三分之二必剪除而死， 三分之一仍必存留。

Two thirds of the people of the land will be cut down, only one third will remain, says the Lord.

9 我要使这三分之一经火， 熬炼他们，如熬炼银子； 试炼他们，如试炼金子。 他们必求告我的名， 我必应允他们。 我要说：这是我的子民。 他们也要说：耶和华是我们的 神。

I will place this one third in the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on me for help, and I will answer them. I will say, “These are my people,” and they will say, “The Lord is my God.”
