Zechariah 13
1 On that day a spring will be opened and continually flow for the house of David and for the people of Jerusalem to wash away their sin and impurity.
Paa den Dag skal der være en aabnet Kilde for Davids Hus og for Jerusalems Indbyggere imod Synd og imod Urenhed.
2 On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will wipe out idol worship from the land—the idols will not be remembered any longer. I will remove the false prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, siger den Herre Zebaoth, at jeg vil udrydde Afgudernes Navne af Landet, og de skulle ikke ihukommes ydermere; ogsaa Profeterne og den urene Aand vil jeg lade forsvinde af Landet.
3 If anyone continues to prophesy, his father and mother to whom he was born will tell him, “You shall not live, because you have told lies in the Lord's name.” Then his parents shall kill him because he has prophesied.
Og det skal ske, naar nogen spaar ydermere, da skal hans Fader og hans Moder, som avlede ham, sige til ham: Du skal ikke leve, thi du har talt Løgn i Herrens Navn; og hans Fader og hans Moder, som avlede ham, skulle gennembore Ham, naar han spaar.
4 On that day such prophets will be too humiliated to prophesy their supposed visions. In order to deceive they will not put on their prophet's clothes made of coarse hair.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, da skulle Profeterne skamme sig, hver over sit Syn, naar han spaar; og de skulle ikke iføre sig en laadden Kappe for at bedrage.
5 They will say, “I'm not a prophet, I'm a farmer. I've worked on the land since I was a child.”
Men han skal sige: Jeg er ingen Profet, jeg er en Agerdyrker; thi en Mand har købt mig fra min Ungdom af.
6 If somebody asks him, “What are those wounds on your back?” he will answer, “I was wounded in my friend's house.”
Og dersom nogen siger til ham: Hvad betyde disse Saar i dine Hænder? da skal han sige: Det er Slag, som jeg har faaet i deres Hus, som elskede mig.
7 Wake up, my sword! Attack my shepherd, the man who stands beside me! declares the Lord. Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered, and I will raise my hand against the lambs.
Sværd! vaagn op imod min Hyrde og imod den Mand, som er min Næste, siger den Herre Zebaoth; slaa Hyrden, og Faarene skulle adspredes, og jeg vil føre min Haand tilbage over de smaa.
8 Two thirds of the people of the land will be cut down, only one third will remain, says the Lord.
Og det skal ske i alt Landet, siger Herren: De to Dele, som ere derudi, skulle udryddes, de skulle opgive Aanden; men den ene Tredjedel skal blive tilbage derudi.
9 I will place this one third in the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on me for help, and I will answer them. I will say, “These are my people,” and they will say, “The Lord is my God.”
Og jeg vil bringe denne Tredjedel i Ilden og lutre den, som man lutrer Sølvet, og prøve den, som man prøver Guldet; den skal paakalde mit Navn, og jeg vil bønhøre den; jeg siger: Det er mit Folk, og den skal sige: Herren er min Gud.
