Zacharias 13

1 In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for separation.

U onaj dan otvorit će se izvor domu Davidovu i Jeruzalemcima da se operu od grijeha i nečistoće.

2 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, [that] I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer [any] remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land.

U onaj dan - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - iskorijenit ću iz zemlje imena kumirÄa da se više ne spominju; uklonit ću iz zemlje i proroke i duh nečistoće.

3 And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you has spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying.

Ako netko još bude prorokovao, otac i mati koji su ga rodili reći će mu: 'Nećeš više živjeti, jer laž govoriš u ime Jahvino!' Otac i mati koji su ga rodili probost će ga kada bude prorokovao.

4 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied.

U onaj dan svaki će se prorok stidjeti svoga viđenja; neće se više ogrtati plaštem od kostrijeti da bi lagali,

5 And [one] shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up [thus] from my youth.

nego će govoriti: 'Nisam ja prorok; ja sam ratar, zemlja je moje dobro od mladosti!'

6 And I will say to him, What are these wounds between your hands? and he shall say, [Those] with which I was wounded in my beloved house.

Ako li ga tko upita: 'Kakve su ti to rane po tijelu?' on će odgovoriti: 'Izranjen sam kod prijateljÄa.'

7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the man [who is] my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little ones.

Probudi se, maču, protiv mog pastira, protiv čovjeka, moga srodnika - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama. Udari pastira, i ovce će se razbjeći! Okrenut ću ruku protiv slabića,

8 And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, says the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein.

i u svoj će zemlji - riječ je Jahvina - dvije trećine biti istrijebljene, a trećina ostavljena.

9 And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord [is] my God.

Tu ću trećinu kroz oganj provesti, pročistit ću ih kao što se pročišćuje srebro, iskušat' ih kao što se srebro iskušava. I on će zazivati ime moje, a ja ću mu se odazvati; i reći ću: 'Moj je to narod!' a on će reći: 'Jahve je Bog moj!'”
