< Zechariah 13 >

1 “On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the people of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
“Nan jou sa a, va gen yon fontèn dlo ki va ouvri pou lakay David, e pou sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, pou peche ak salte.
2 And on that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will erase the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will also remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.
“Li va vin rive nan jou sa a”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “ke Mwen va koupe retire non a zidòl yo soti nan peyi a, e yo p ap sonje yo ankò. Mwen va osi retire pwofèt yo ak lespri pa pwòp la soti nan peyi a.
3 And if anyone still prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You shall not remain alive, because you have spoken falsely in the name of the LORD.’ When he prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will pierce him through.
Lè yon moun va pwofetize, alò, papa l ak manman l ki te fè l la va di li: ‘Ou p ap viv, paske ou pale sa ki fo nan non SENYÈ a.’ Konsa, papa li ak manman li ki te fè l la, va fwennen l lè li pwofetize.
4 And on that day every prophet who prophesies will be ashamed of his vision, and he will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
Anplis, li va vin rive nan jou sa a, ke tout pwofèt yo va vin wont de vizyon yo fè, lè yo ap pwofetize. Yo p ap mete gwo wòb fèt an pwal pou twonpe moun;
5 He will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I work the land, for I was purchased as a servant in my youth.’
men yon pwofèt va di: ‘Mwen pa yon pwofèt; mwen se yon kiltivatè tè a, paske mwen se yon sèvitè atache nèt depi mwen jèn.’
6 If someone asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your chest?’ he will answer, ‘These are the wounds I received in the house of my friends.’
Konsa, yon moun va vin di l: ‘Ki blesi sa ki nan mitan bra ou yo?’ Epi li va reponn: ‘Sa yo se blesi ke mwen te pran lakay zami mwen yo.’
7 Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the man who is My Companion, declares the LORD of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn My hand against the little ones.
“Leve, O nepe, kont bèje Mwen an, e kont nonm nan ki byen pre M,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo. Frape bèje a pou mouton yo ka gaye; epi Mwen va vire men M kont jenn ti piti yo.
8 And in all the land, declares the LORD, two-thirds will be cut off and perish, but a third will be left in it.
“Sa va vin rive nan tout peyi a” deklare SENYÈ a, “Ke de pati nan li va vin koupe retire pou l mouri; men twazyèm pati a va rete ladann l.
9 This third I will bring through the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”
“Konsa, Mwen va mennen fè pase twazyèm pati a nan dife. Mwen va rafine yo tankou yo rafine ajan, e pase yo a leprèv tankou lò. Yo va rele non Mwen, e Mwen va tande yo. Mwen va di: ‘Yo se pèp Mwen’, e yo va di: ‘SENYÈ a, se Bondye mwen an.’”
