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.
På den dag skal det være en åpnet kilde for Davids hus og for Jerusalems innbyggere mot synd og urenhet.
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.
Og det skal skje på den dag, sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud, at jeg vil utrydde avgudenes navn av landet, og de skal ikke mere kommes i hu; også profetene og den urene ånd vil jeg få bort av landet.
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.
Og om nogen herefter står frem som profet, da skal hans far og mor, hans egne foreldre, si til ham: Du skal ikke leve, for du har talt løgn i Herrens navn. Og hans far og mor, hans egne foreldre, skal gjennembore ham mens han profeterer.
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:
På den dag skal alle profeter skamme sig over sine syner når de vil profetere, og de skal ikke klæ sig i en lodden kappe for å lyve.
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.
Men hver av dem skal si: Jeg er ikke nogen profet; jeg er jordbruker, for det var en som kjøpte mig til træl da jeg var ung gutt.
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.
Og om nogen spør ham: Hvad er det for sår du har i dine hender? da skal han svare: Det er sår jeg har fått i mine elskeres hus.
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.
Sverd! Våkn op mot min hyrde, mot den mann som er min næste! sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud; slå hyrden, og fårene skal adspredes, og jeg vil igjen ta mig av de små!
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.
Og i hele landet, sier Herren, skal to tredjedeler utryddes og omkomme, bare en tredjedel skal levnes der.
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.
Og denne tredjedel vil jeg la gå gjennem ilden og rense den, som en renser sølv, og prøve den, som en prøver gull. De skal påkalle mitt navn, og jeg vil bønnhøre dem; jeg vil si: De er mitt folk, og de skal si: Herren er min Gud.
