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.
“Saa ɛda no, wɔbɛtu asubura ama Dawid fie ne Yerusalemfoɔ de ahohoro wɔn bɔne ne wɔn ho fi.
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.
“Saa ɛda no, mɛyi ahoni no din afiri asase no so, na wɔrenkae wɔn bio,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie. “Mɛyi adiyifoɔ ne efiyɛ honhom afiri asase no so.
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.
Sɛ obi kɔ so hyɛ nkɔm a, agya ne ɛna a wɔwoo saa onipa no bɛka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Ɛsɛ sɛ wowuo, ɛfiri sɛ, wode Awurade din atwa atorɔ.’ Sɛ ɔhyɛ nkɔm a, ɔno ankasa awofoɔ bɛwɔ no sekan.
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.
“Saa ɛda no, odiyifoɔ biara ani bɛwu wɔ ne nkɔmhyɛ anisoadehunu ho. Ɔrenhyɛ odiyifoɔ atadeɛ a wɔde nwi ayɛ, mfa nnaadaa nnipa.
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.
Ɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Menyɛ odiyifoɔ. Meyɛ okuafoɔ. Na ɛfiri me mmeranteberɛ mu no, asase yi so na menya mʼano aduane.’
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.
Na sɛ obi bisa no sɛ, ‘Ɛdeɛn akuro na ɛwɔ wo ho yi a?’ Ɔbɛbua sɛ, ‘Ɛyɛ akuro a menyaa wɔ me nnamfonom fie.’”
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.
“Sɔre, Ao, akofena, sɔre tia me dwanhwɛfoɔ, tia onipa a ɔbɛn me!” Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie. “Bɔ odwanhwɛfoɔ no, na nnwan no bɛbɔ ahwete, na mɛma me nsa so atia nnwammaa no.
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.
Asase no so nyinaa,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, “Wɔbɛbɔ nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu mmienu ahwe fam ma wɔawuwu; na nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako bɛka wɔ so.
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.
Mede nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako yi bɛfa ogya mu; mɛnane wɔn te sɛ deɛ wɔnane dwetɛ, na masɔne wɔn so sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ. Wɔbɛbɔ me din afrɛ me, na mɛgye wɔn so. Mɛka sɛ, ‘Wɔyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ,’ na wɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Awurade yɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn.’”
