Zechariah 13

1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

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 shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, [that] I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of 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 it shall come to pass, if any shall yet prophesy, that his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of Jehovah; and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

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 shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive.

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 And he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for man acquired me [as bondman] from my youth.

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 one shall say unto him, What are those wounds in thy hands? And 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 my shepherd, even against the man [that is] my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered, and I will turn my hand upon 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 shall come to pass in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left therein.

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 bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will answer them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah 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」。
