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.
Ngalolosuku kuzakuba lomthombo ovulelwe isono lokungcola kuyo indlu kaDavida labahlali beJerusalema.
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.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngiqume amabizo ezithombe asuke elizweni, kazisayikukhunjulwa; ngenze labaprofethi lomoya ongcolileyo bedlule basuke elizweni.
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.
Kuzakuthi-ke, loba ngubani esaprofetha, uyise lonina abamzalayo bathi kuye: Kawuyikuphila, ngoba ukhuluma amanga ebizweni leNkosi. Uyise lonina abamzalayo bazamgwaza lapho eprofetha.
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.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku abaprofethi bazakuba lenhloni, ngulowo lalowo ngombono wakhe ekuprofetheni kwakhe; futhi kabayikugqoka izigqoko zoboya ukuze bakhohlise;
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.
kodwa uzakuthi: Kangisuye mprofethi, ngingumlimi womhlabathi; ngoba umuntu wangithenga kusukela ebutsheni bami.
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.
Lomunye uzakuthi kuye: Ayini lamanxeba asezandleni zakho? Yena uzakuthi: Engatshaywa ngawo endlini yabangane bami.
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.
Vuka, nkemba, umelane lomelusi wami, umelane lomuntu ongumngane wami, itsho iNkosi yamabandla. Tshaya umelusi, izimvu zihlakazeke; besengiphendulela isandla sami kwezincinyane.
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.
Kuzakuthi-ke elizweni lonke, itsho iNkosi, ingxenye ezimbili kulo zizaqunywa ziphele; kodwa eyesithathu izasala kulo.
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.
Njalo eyesithathu ngizayidabulisa emlilweni, ngibacwengisise njengoba isiliva sicwengisiswa, ngibalinge njengoba igolide lilingwa. Bona bazabiza ibizo lami, mina-ke ngizabaphendula. Ngizakuthi: Bangabantu bami; bona-ke bazakuthi: INkosi inguNkulunkulu wami.
