Zechariah 13

1 In that day there shall be a fountaine opened to the house of Dauid, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, for sinne and for vncleannesse.

在那一天，為達味家和耶路撒冷的居民將開放一個水泉，為洗滌罪過和不潔。

2 And in that day, sayth the Lord of hostes, I will cut off the names of the idoles out of the land: and they shall no more be remembred: and I will cause the prophets, and the vncleane spirit to depart out of the land.

在那一天，──萬軍的上主的斷語──我要由地上剷除一切偶像的名號，不再為人所記念；並且我還要將假先知們和不潔的神由地上滅絕。

3 And when any shall yet prophesie, his father and his mother that begate him, shall say vnto him, Thou shalt not liue: for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him, shall thrust him through, when he prophesieth.

將來如果有人還要冒充先知，生養他的父母必要對他說：你不能生存，因為你藉上主的名字說了謊話。生養他的父母就在他說妙語時，要把他刺死。

4 And in that day shall the prophetes be ashamed euery one of his vision, when he hath prophesied: neither shall they weare a rough garment to deceiue.

在那一天，每個假先知，在他說妙語時，必因自己的神視感到羞慚；他們必不再穿毛外氅，去行欺騙；

5 But he shall say, I am no Prophet: I am an husbandman: for man taught me to be an heardman from my youth vp.

他反要說：我不是先知，我是一個種田的人，因為我自幼就以務農為業。

6 And one shall say vnto him, What are these woundes in thine hands? Then he shall answere, Thus was I wounded in the house of my friendes.

若有人問他說：怎麼在你兩手上有這些傷痕﹖他要答說：那是我在愛我的人家裏所受的傷。

7 Arise, O sword, vpon my shepheard, and vpon the man, that is my fellow, sayth the Lord of hostes: smite the shepheard, and the sheepe shall be scattered: and I will turne mine hand vpon the litle ones.

刀劍，起來攻擊我的牧人，攻擊那作我同伴的人──萬軍上主斷語。打擊牧人，羊群就要四散，然而我要向弱小的羊伸出我的手。

8 And in all the land, sayeth the Lord, two partes therein shall be cut off, and die: but the third shall be left therein.

將來在全國──上主的斷語──三分之二必被剷除而死去，其中只留下三分之一。

9 And I will bring that third part thorowe the fire, and will fine them as the siluer is fined, and will trye them as golde is tryed: they shall call on my Name, and I will heare them: I will say, It is my people, and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

我要使這三分之一經過火煉，煉淨他們如同煉淨銀子，試驗他們如同試驗金子。 他們必要呼號我的名字我也必要俯聽他們；我要說：「這是我的百姓。」他們每人也要說：「上主是我的天主」。
