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.

その日には、罪と汚れとを清める一つの泉が、ダビデの家とエルサレムの住民とのために開かれる。

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.

万軍の主は言われる、その日には、わたしは地から偶像の名を取り除き、重ねて人に覚えられることのないようにする。わたしはまた預言者および汚れの霊を、地から去らせる。

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.

もし、人が今後預言するならば、その産みの父母はこれにむかって、『あなたは主の名をもって偽りを語るゆえ、生きていることができない』と言い、その産みの父母は彼が預言している時、彼を刺すであろう。

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:

その日には、預言者たちは皆預言する時、その幻を恥じる。また人を欺くための毛の上着を着ない。

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.

そして『わたしは預言者ではない、わたしは土地を耕す者だ。若い時から土地を持っている』と言う。

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.

もし、人が彼に『あなたの背中の傷は何か』と尋ねるならば、『これはわたしの友だちの家で受けた傷だ』と、彼は言うであろう」。

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.

万軍の主は言われる、「つるぎよ、立ち上がってわが牧者を攻めよ。わたしの次に立つ人を攻めよ。牧者を撃て、その羊は散る。わたしは手をかえして、小さい者どもを攻める。

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.

主は言われる、全地の人の三分の二は断たれて死に、三分の一は生き残る。

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.

わたしはこの三分の一を火の中に入れ、銀をふき分けるように、これをふき分け、金を精錬するように、これを精錬する。彼らはわたしの名を呼び、わたしは彼らに答える。わたしは『彼らはわが民である』と言い、彼らは『主はわが神である』と言う」。
