< 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.
“Mũthenya ũcio gĩthima nĩgĩgathikũrio nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Daudi o na nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu, gĩthima gĩa kũmatheria mehia o na thaahu.”
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD 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.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio nĩnganiina marĩĩtwa ma mĩhianano ya kũhooywo mathire bũrũri-inĩ, na matigacooka kũririkanwo rĩngĩ. Nĩngeheria anabii hamwe na roho ũcio wa thaahu, mathire bũrũri-inĩ.
3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that brings forth him shall say unto him, You shall not live; for you speak lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that brings forth him shall thrust him through when he prophesies.
Na rĩrĩ, kũngĩgaakorwo na mũndũ ũrathiĩ na mbere na kũratha mohoro-rĩ, ithe na nyina, arĩa mamũciarĩte, nĩ makaamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘No nginya ũkue, nĩ ũndũ nĩwarĩtie maheeni ũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.’ Rĩrĩa akaaratha mohoro-rĩ, aciari ake mwene nĩmakamũtheeca na rũhiũ.
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he has prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
“Mũthenya ũcio mũnabii o wothe nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa kĩoneki kĩa ũrathi wake. Ndakehumba nguo ya maguoya ya mũnabii nĩguo aheenie andũ.
5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an farmer; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
Akoigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndirĩ mũnabii, ndĩ mũrĩmi, ndũũragio nĩ mũgũnda kuuma ũnini-inĩ wakwa.’
6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in your hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
Nake mũndũ angĩkamũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ironda ici irĩ mwĩrĩ waku nĩ cia kĩ?’ we agaacookia atĩrĩ, ‘Ironda ici ndagĩĩrĩire nyũmba-inĩ ya arata akwa.’
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, says the LORD of hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
“Arahũka, wee rũhiũ rwa njora, ũũkĩrĩre mũrĩithi wakwa, ũkĩrĩra mũndũ ũcio wa hakuhĩ na niĩ!” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga. “Ringa mũrĩithi, nacio ngʼondu nĩikũhurunjũka, nakuo guoko gwakwa ndĩkwerekerie kũrĩ tũgondu, ndĩtũũkĩrĩre.”
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri-inĩ guothe, andũ icunjĩ igĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa ithatũ nĩmakooragwo, mathire; no rĩrĩ, gĩcunjĩ kĩmwe gĩa ithatũ nĩgĩgatigara kuo.
9 And I will bring the third part through 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 hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
Gĩcunjĩ kĩu gĩa ithatũ kĩa andũ nĩngakĩhĩtũkĩria mwaki-inĩ; ngaamatheria ta betha, na ndĩmagerie ta ũrĩa thahabu igeragio. Nĩmagakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, na niĩ nĩngametĩka; Nĩngoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Aya nĩ andũ akwa,’ nao moige atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nĩwe Ngai witũ.’”
