Zechariah 13

1 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.

在那一天，為達味家和耶路撒冷的居民將開放一個水泉，為洗滌罪過和不潔。

2 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.

在那一天，──萬軍的上主的斷語──我要由地上剷除一切偶像的名號，不再為人所記念；並且我還要將假先知們和不潔的神由地上滅絕。

3 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.

將來如果有人還要冒充先知，生養他的父母必要對他說：你不能生存，因為你藉上主的名字說了謊話。生養他的父母就在他說妙語時，要把他刺死。

4 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:

在那一天，每個假先知，在他說妙語時，必因自己的神視感到羞慚；他們必不再穿毛外氅，去行欺騙；

5 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.

他反要說：我不是先知，我是一個種田的人，因為我自幼就以務農為業。

6 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.

若有人問他說：怎麼在你兩手上有這些傷痕﹖他要答說：那是我在愛我的人家裏所受的傷。

7 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.

刀劍，起來攻擊我的牧人，攻擊那作我同伴的人──萬軍上主斷語。打擊牧人，羊群就要四散，然而我要向弱小的羊伸出我的手。

8 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.

將來在全國──上主的斷語──三分之二必被剷除而死去，其中只留下三分之一。

9 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.

我要使這三分之一經過火煉，煉淨他們如同煉淨銀子，試驗他們如同試驗金子。 他們必要呼號我的名字我也必要俯聽他們；我要說：「這是我的百姓。」他們每人也要說：「上主是我的天主」。
