Zakarias 13

1 På hin Dag skal en Kilde vælde frem for Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyggere mod Synd og Urenhed.

In that day there shall be a fountain open to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: for the washing of the sinner, and of the unclean woman.

2 Og på hin bag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, udrydder jeg Afgudernes Navne af Landet, så de ikke mer skal ihukommes; også Profeterne og Urenhedens Ånd driver jeg ud af Landet.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will destroy the names of idols out of the earth, and they shall be remembered no more: and I will take away the false prophets, and the unclean spirit out of the earth.

3 Når nogen da atter profeterer, skal hans egne Forældre, hans Fader og Moder, sige til ham: Du har forbrudt dit Liv, thi du har talt Løgn i HERRENs Navn." Og hans egne Forældre, hans Fader og Moder, skal gennembore ham, når han profeterer.

And it shall come to pass, that when any man shall prophesy any more, his father and his mother that brought him into the world, shall say to him: Thou shalt not live: because thou best spoken a lie in the name of the Lord. And his father, and his mother, his parents, shall thrust him through, when he shall prophesy.

4 På hin Dag skal hver en Profet skamme sig over sine Syner, når han profeterer, og han skal ikke klæde sig i lådden Kappe for at føre Folk bag Lyset,

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be confounded, every one by his own vision, when he shall prophesy, neither shall they be clad with a garment of sackcloth, to deceive:

5 men sige: "Jeg er ingen Profet; jeg er Bonde og har dyrket Jord fra min Ungdom."

But he shall say: I am no prophet, I am a husbandman: for Adam is my example from my youth.

6 Og spørger man ham: "Hvad er det for Sår på dit Bryst?" skal han sige: "Dem fik jeg i mine Boleres Hus."

And they shall say to him: What are these wounds in the midst of thy hands? And he shall say: With these I was wounded in the house of them that loved me.

7 Frem, Sværd, imod min Hyrde, mod Manden, som står mig nær, så lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE. Hyrden vil jeg slå, så Fårehjorden spredes; mod Drengene løfter jeg Hånden.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that cleaveth to me, saith the Lord of hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand to the little ones.

8 Og i hele Landet lyder det fra HERREN, skal to Tredjedele udryddes og udånde, men een Tredjedel skal levnes.

And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord, two parts in it shall be scattered, and shall perish: but the third part shall be left therein.

9 Og denne Tredjedel fører jeg i Ild og renser den, som man renser Sølv, prøver den, som man prøver Guld. Den skal påkalde mit Navn, og jeg svarer; jeg siger: "Den er mit Folk." Og den skal sige: "HERREN er min Gud."

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined: and I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say: Thou art my people: and they shall say: The Lord is my God.
