< 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。」
On that day shall there be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for cleansing from sin and for purification.
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 on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more: and also the prophets and the unclean spirit will I remove 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, if any one should yet prophesy, that his father and his mother who have begotten him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for falsely hast thou spoken in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who have begotten him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
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 on that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one because of his vision, when he prophesieth; and they shall not clothe themselves with a hairy cloak in order 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 will say, I am no prophet, a man that tilleth the ground am I; for some one hath 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 should some one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? Then will he say, Those with which I have been wounded in the house of my [vicious] 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 whom I have associated with me, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; but I will turn my hand toward the feeble 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, saith the Lord, two parts [of those] therein shall be cut off, shall perish; but the third part 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 into the fire, and I will refine them as one refineth silver, and will probe them as gold is probed: they will call on my name, and I will answer their prayer; I will say, They arc my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
