< 撒迦利亞書 13 >

1 「那日,必給大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民開一個泉源,洗除罪惡與污穢。」
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2 萬軍之耶和華說:「那日,我必從地上除滅偶像的名,不再被人記念;也必使這地不再有假先知與污穢的靈。
And it shall come to pass in that day, says 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 若再有人說預言,生他的父母必對他說:『你不得存活,因為你託耶和華的名說假預言。』生他的父母在他說預言的時候,要將他刺透。
And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you speak lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesies.
4 那日,凡作先知說預言的必因他所論的異象羞愧,不再穿毛衣哄騙人。
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he has prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
5 他必說:『我不是先知,我是耕地的;我從幼年作人的奴僕。』
But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an farmer; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6 必有人問他說:『你兩臂中間是甚麼傷呢?』他必回答說:『這是我在親友家中所受的傷。』」
And one shall say to him, What are these wounds in your hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 萬軍之耶和華說: 刀劍哪,應當興起, 攻擊我的牧人和我的同伴。 擊打牧人,羊就分散; 我必反手加在微小者的身上。
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, says the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand on the little ones.
8 耶和華說:這全地的人, 三分之二必剪除而死, 三分之一仍必存留。
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9 我要使這三分之一經火, 熬煉他們,如熬煉銀子; 試煉他們,如試煉金子。 他們必求告我的名, 我必應允他們。 我要說:這是我的子民。 他們也要說:耶和華是我們的上帝。
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 hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
