< 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 fountain will be opened for the house of David, and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
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。
And it will be on that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land and they will be remembered no more. And the prophets and the unclean spirit I will banish 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 any man prophesy any more, his father and his mother who bore him, will say to him, ‘You will not live, for you speak falsehood in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and his mother who bore him will stab him through when he is seized by the prophetic frenzy.
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。
And it will be in that day that the prophets will be ashamed, each of his vision, and will not wear the hairy mantle in order to deceive.
5 他必说:‘我不是先知,我是耕地的;我从幼年作人的奴仆。’
Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet, a tiller of the ground am I, for the ground is my possession from my youth.’
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。’”
And they will say to him, ‘What are these scars on your back?’ And he will say, ‘The scars which I received in the house of my friends.’
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。
Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who stands near to me, says the Lord of hosts. I will strike the shepherd so that the sheep may be scattered, I will turn my hand against the little ones.
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。
In all the land, says the Lord, two-thirds in it will be cut off and die, but a third will be left in it.
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 bring the third into the fire, and melt it as one melts silver, and test it as one tests gold. Then they will call on my name, and I myself will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people.’ They will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’
