< Zacharias 13 >
1 In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for separation.
En ce jour-là, une source sera ouverte Pour la maison de David et les habitants de Jérusalem, Pour le péché et pour l’impureté.
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, [that] I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer [any] remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land.
En ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel des armées, J’exterminerai du pays les noms des idoles, Afin qu’on ne s’en souvienne plus; J’ôterai aussi du pays les prophètes et l’esprit d’impureté.
3 And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you has spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying.
Si quelqu’un prophétise encore, Son père et sa mère, qui l’ont engendré, lui diront: Tu ne vivras pas, car tu dis des mensonges au nom de l’Éternel! Et son père et sa mère, qui l’ont engendré, le transperceront Quand il prophétisera.
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied.
En ce jour-là, les prophètes rougiront de leurs visions Quand ils prophétiseront, Et ils ne revêtiront plus un manteau de poil pour mentir.
5 And [one] shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up [thus] from my youth.
Chacun d’eux dira: Je ne suis pas prophète, Je suis laboureur, Car on m’a acheté dès ma jeunesse.
6 And I will say to him, What are these wounds between your hands? and he shall say, [Those] with which I was wounded in my beloved house.
Et si on lui demande: D’où viennent ces blessures que tu as aux mains? Il répondra: C’est dans la maison de ceux qui m’aimaient que je les ai reçues.
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the man [who is] my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little ones.
Épée, lève-toi sur mon pasteur Et sur l’homme qui est mon compagnon! Dit l’Éternel des armées. Frappe le pasteur, et que les brebis se dispersent! Et je tournerai ma main vers les faibles.
8 And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, says the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein.
Dans tout le pays, dit l’Éternel, Les deux tiers seront exterminés, périront, Et l’autre tiers restera.
9 And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord [is] my God.
Je mettrai ce tiers dans le feu, Et je le purifierai comme on purifie l’argent, Je l’éprouverai comme on éprouve l’or. Il invoquera mon nom, et je l’exaucerai; Je dirai: C’est mon peuple! Et il dira: L’Éternel est mon Dieu!
