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.
“ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe fakaava ʻae matavai ki he fale ʻo Tevita, pea mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema koeʻuhi ko e angahala, pea mo e taʻemaʻa.
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.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, te u motuhi ʻae hingoa ʻoe ngaahi tamapua mei he fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai toe manatuʻi ʻi ai: pea te u pule ke mole atu mei he fonua ʻae kau kikite mo e laumālie ʻuli.
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.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau ʻe toe kikite ha taha, pea ʻe toki lea kiate ia ʻa ʻene tamai, pea mo ʻene fale, ʻaia ne ne tupu ai, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke moʻui he ʻoku ke lea loi ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova:’ pea ko ʻene tamai, pea mo ʻene faʻē naʻa ne tupu ai, te na hokaʻi ia ke ʻasi, ʻoka fai ʻe ia ʻae kikite.
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.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe mā ʻae kau kikite taki taha ʻi heʻene meʻa hā mai, ʻoka fai ʻe ia ʻene kikite; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau kofuʻaki ʻae kofu ʻoe fulufuluʻi manu ke fai ʻae kākā:
5 They will say, “I'm not a prophet, I'm a farmer. I've worked on the land since I was a child.”
Ka te ne pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ko ha kikite au, ka ko e tangata ngoue: he naʻe akoʻi au ʻe ha tangata ke tauhimanu talu ʻeku kei siʻi.’
6 If somebody asks him, “What are those wounds on your back?” he will answer, “I was wounded in my friend's house.”
Pea ʻe pehē mai ʻe ha taha kiate ia, ‘Ko e hā ʻae ngaahi lavea ko ʻena ʻi ho nima?’ Pea te ne pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko e ngaahi lavea ʻi heʻeku ʻi he fale ʻo hoku kāinga.’
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.
“ʻE heletā, ke ke ʻā, ki heʻeku tauhi, pea ki he tangata ko ia ʻoku ma kaumeʻa,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau. “Taaʻi ʻae tauhi, pea ʻe movetevete ʻae fanga sipi: pea te u tafoki atu hoku nima kiate kinautolu ʻoku kei iiki.
8 Two thirds of the people of the land will be cut down, only one third will remain, says the Lord.
Pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē, ʻi he fonua kotoa,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ko hono vahe ʻe ua ʻe motuhi, pea ʻe mate; ka ko hono vahe ʻe taha ʻe tuku ia ʻi ai.
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.”
Pea te u ʻomi ʻa hono vahe ko ia ʻe taha ʻi he loto afi, pea te u fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko hono fakamaʻa ʻoe siliva, pea te u ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻoe koula: te nau ui ki hoku huafa, pea te u fanongo kiate kinautolu: Te u pehē, ‘ko hoku kakai ia:’ pea te nau pehē ʻekinautolu, ‘Ko Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua ia.’”
