< Zakarias 13 >
1 Paa den Dag skal der være en aabnet Kilde for Davids Hus og for Jerusalems Indbyggere imod Synd og imod Urenhed.
In that day there will be a fountain open to the family of David and to the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for that which is unclean.
2 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, siger den Herre Zebaoth, at jeg vil udrydde Afgudernes Navne af Landet, og de skulle ikke ihukommes ydermere; ogsaa Profeterne og den urene Aand vil jeg lade forsvinde af Landet.
And it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that I will have the names of the images cut off out of the land, and there will be no more memory of them: and I will send all the prophets and the unclean spirit away from the land.
3 Og det skal ske, naar nogen spaar ydermere, da skal hans Fader og hans Moder, som avlede ham, sige til ham: Du skal ikke leve, thi du har talt Løgn i Herrens Navn; og hans Fader og hans Moder, som avlede ham, skulle gennembore Ham, naar han spaar.
And if anyone goes on acting as a prophet, then his father and his mother who gave him life will say to him, You may not go on living, for you are saying what is false in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother will put a sword through him when he does so.
4 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, da skulle Profeterne skamme sig, hver over sit Syn, naar han spaar; og de skulle ikke iføre sig en laadden Kappe for at bedrage.
And it will come about in that day that the prophets will be shamed, every man on account of his vision, when he is talking as a prophet; and they will not put on a robe of hair for purposes of deceit:
5 Men han skal sige: Jeg er ingen Profet, jeg er en Agerdyrker; thi en Mand har købt mig fra min Ungdom af.
But he will say, I am no prophet, but a worker on the land; for I have been an owner of land from the time when I was young.
6 Og dersom nogen siger til ham: Hvad betyde disse Saar i dine Hænder? da skal han sige: Det er Slag, som jeg har faaet i deres Hus, som elskede mig.
And if anyone says to him, What are these wounds between your hands? then he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 Sværd! vaagn op imod min Hyrde og imod den Mand, som er min Næste, siger den Herre Zebaoth; slaa Hyrden, og Faarene skulle adspredes, og jeg vil føre min Haand tilbage over de smaa.
Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.
8 Og det skal ske i alt Landet, siger Herren: De to Dele, som ere derudi, skulle udryddes, de skulle opgive Aanden; men den ene Tredjedel skal blive tilbage derudi.
And it will come about that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an end; but the third will be still living there.
9 Og jeg vil bringe denne Tredjedel i Ilden og lutre den, som man lutrer Sølvet, og prøve den, som man prøver Guldet; den skal paakalde mit Navn, og jeg vil bønhøre den; jeg siger: Det er mit Folk, og den skal sige: Herren er min Gud.
And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
