Zaharija 13
1 U onaj dan otvorit će se izvor domu Davidovu i Jeruzalemcima da se operu od grijeha i nečistoće.
At that time [it will be as though] [MET] there will be a fountain from which water flows continually to cleanse the descendants [MTY] of [King] David and [all] the [other] people in Jerusalem from the guilt of the sins that they have committed, [especially] from becoming unacceptable to me [by worshiping idols].
2 U onaj dan - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - iskorijenit ću iz zemlje imena kumirÄa da se više ne spominju; uklonit ću iz zemlje i proroke i duh nečistoće.
The Commander of the armies of angels says, “At that time, I will prevent [people from even mentioning] the names of the idols in their country, and no one will remember them any more. I will also expel from the land all the people who falsely claim that they are prophets [DOU].
3 Ako netko još bude prorokovao, otac i mati koji su ga rodili reći će mu: 'Nećeš više živjeti, jer laž govoriš u ime Jahvino!' Otac i mati koji su ga rodili probost će ga kada bude prorokovao.
If someone continues to prophesy [falsely], his parents must say to him, ‘You have told lies saying that Yahweh [MTY] gave those messages to you, so you must be executed.’ [So] if someone prophesies [like that], his own father and mother must stab him [and kill him].
4 U onaj dan svaki će se prorok stidjeti svoga viđenja; neće se više ogrtati plaštem od kostrijeti da bi lagali,
At that time, the false prophets will be ashamed [that they claimed to have received messages from me in] their visions and prophesies [that they told to people]. They will no [longer] deceive people by wearing the clothes [that prophets usually wear], clothes made of [animals’] hair.
5 nego će govoriti: 'Nisam ja prorok; ja sam ratar, zemlja je moje dobro od mladosti!'
[So] each of them will say, ‘I am not [really] a prophet; I am a farmer, and I have been a farmer on my land ever since I was a boy!’
6 Ako li ga tko upita: 'Kakve su ti to rane po tijelu?' on će odgovoriti: 'Izranjen sam kod prijateljÄa.'
But someone, [seeing the wounds on one of those prophet’s bodies, will suspect that he injured himself during rituals to worship idols, and he] will ask ‘Why are those wounds on your body?’ And he [will lie, saying] ‘I was injured [when I was] at my friend’s house.’”
7 Probudi se, maču, protiv mog pastira, protiv čovjeka, moga srodnika - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama. Udari pastira, i ovce će se razbjeći! Okrenut ću ruku protiv slabića,
The Commander of the armies of angels says, “[My] sword [APO] must strike [the one who is like] [MET] my shepherd, the man who is (my companion/very (close/dear) to me). When the shepherd is killed, [those who are like] [MET] his sheep will scatter. [And those who are like] [MET] my little sheep will [also] be attacked [IDM].”
8 i u svoj će zemlji - riječ je Jahvina - dvije trećine biti istrijebljene, a trećina ostavljena.
Yahweh [also] says, “Two-thirds [of the people in Judah] will die [DOU]. [Only] one-third [of the people in Judah] will remain alive.
9 Tu ću trećinu kroz oganj provesti, pročistit ću ih kao što se pročišćuje srebro, iskušat' ih kao što se srebro iskušava. I on će zazivati ime moje, a ja ću mu se odazvati; i reći ću: 'Moj je to narod!' a on će reći: 'Jahve je Bog moj!'”
And I will test the ones that remain alive [by causing them to experience great difficulties, to find out if they will continue to worship me]. I will purify them like [MET] a man purifies gold or silver by putting it into a [very hot] fire. [Then] my people will call to me [MTY] [for help], and I will answer them. I will say [to them], ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is our God.’”
