1 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Chiengʼno soko moro noyaw ni joka Daudi gi joma odak Jerusalem, soko ma nopwodhgi kuom richogi duto gi gak ma gigakgo.”
“In that day there will be a fountain opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
2 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Chiengʼno anatiek nying nyiseche ma dhano oloso e piny, kendo ji ok nochak opargi. Anagol jonabi kaachiel gi chunje ma gombo timo timbe maricho e piny.
It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.
3 Ka dipo ni ngʼato pod dhi nyime gi koro wach, to wuon gi min monywole nowachne ni, ‘Nyaka itho, nikech isewacho miriambo kikonyori gi nying Jehova Nyasaye.’ Ka ngʼato okoro wach, to jonywolne owuon ema nonege gi ligangla.
It will happen that when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in the LORD’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.
4 “Chiengʼno jonabi duto, moro ka moro wiye nokuodi gi fweny moneno. Onge janabi ma norwak lep koro wach mondo owuond ji.
It will happen in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they won’t wear a hairy mantle to deceive,
5 To moro ka moro kuomgi nowach mana ni, ‘An ok an janabi. An mana japur, kendo asebedo ka ayudo chiemba kowuok e lowo chakre aa e tin-na.’
but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’
6 Ka ngʼato openje ni, ‘To adhonde manie dendigi to manade?’ To enodwok ni, ‘Adhondegi ayudo e od osiepena.’”
One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’
7 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “In ligangla, chiew mondo ichadh jakwadha, adier, chadh ngʼat matiyona! Go jakwath mi rombe oke, nimar abiro kumo joma pod yomyom.”
“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says the LORD of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “E piny ngima, ariyo kuom adek mar ji biro tho mi ngʼad kargi oko; to kata kamano, achiel kuom adek mar jogo to nowe kangima.
It shall happen that in all the land,” says the LORD, “two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
9 Achiel kuom adekgi abiro ketogi e mach; abiro pwodhogi kaka ipwodho fedha, kendo abiro temogi kaka itemo dhahabu. Gibiro luongo nyinga kendo abiro dwokogi; abiro wacho ni, ‘Gin joga,’ to gin bende gibiro wacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasachwa.’”
I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
