< 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.
Ese día se abrirá una fuente que brotará continuamente porque la casa de David y el pueblo de Jerusalén para limpiar su pecado e impureza.
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.
Ese día, declara el Señor Todopoderoso, eliminaré la idolatría de la tierra, y no habrá nunca más memoria de los ídolos. Yo quitaré a los falsos profetas y al espíritu de impureza de la tierra.
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.
Si alguno sigue profetizando, su padre o madre le dirán: “No vivirás, porque has engañado en nombre del Señor”. Entonces sus padres lo matarán, porque ha profetizado.
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.
Ese día, tales profetas sentirán vergüenza de profetizar sus supuestas visiones. Para engañar no se pondrán más sus vestiduras de profetas, hechas de pelo áspero.
5 They will say, “I'm not a prophet, I'm a farmer. I've worked on the land since I was a child.”
Dirán entonces: “No soy profeta, soy un granjero. He labrado la tierra desde que era pequeño”.
6 If somebody asks him, “What are those wounds on your back?” he will answer, “I was wounded in my friend's house.”
Y si alguien le pregunta: “¿Cuál es el motivo de esas heridas en tu espalda?” él responderá: “Fui herido en la casa de un amigo”.
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.
¡Levántate, espada mía! ¡Ataca a mi pastor, al hombre que ha estado junto a mi! declara el Señor. Golpea al pastor y las ovejas serán dispersas, y yo levantaré mi mano contra los corderos.
8 Two thirds of the people of the land will be cut down, only one third will remain, says the Lord.
Dos tercios de los habitantes de la tierra serán destruidas, y solo un tercio quedará, dice el Señor.
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.”
Yo pondré este tercio en el fuego, y lo refinaré como la plata, los probaré como se prueba al oro. Ellos clamarán por mi ayuda, y yo les responderé. Diré: “Este es mi pueblo”, y ellos dirán: “El Señor es mi Dios”.
