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.
En ce jour-là, une source sera ouverte pour la maison de David et pour les habitants de Jérusalem, pour le péché et pour l’impureté.
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.
Et il arrivera, en ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel des armées, que je retrancherai du pays les noms des idoles, et on ne s’en souviendra plus; et j’ôterai aussi du pays les prophètes et l’esprit impur.
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.
Et il arrivera que, si un homme prophétise encore, son père et sa mère qui l’ont engendré, lui diront: Tu ne vivras pas, car tu dis des mensonges au nom de l’Éternel. Et son père et sa mère qui l’ont engendré, le transperceront quand il prophétisera.
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.
Et il arrivera, en ce jour-là, que les prophètes auront honte, chacun de sa vision, quand il prophétisera, et ils ne se vêtiront plus d’un manteau de poil pour mentir. –
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.
Et il dira: Je ne suis pas prophète; je suis un homme qui laboure la terre; car l’homme m’a acquis [comme esclave] dès ma jeunesse.
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.
Et on lui dira: Quelles sont ces blessures à tes mains? Et il dira: Celles dont j’ai été blessé dans la maison de mes amis.
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.
Épée, réveille-toi contre mon berger, contre l’homme [qui est] mon compagnon, dit l’Éternel des armées; frappe le berger, et le troupeau sera dispersé; et je tournerai ma main sur les petits.
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.
Et il arrivera dans tout le pays, dit l’Éternel, que deux parties y seront retranchées et expireront; mais un tiers y demeurera de reste.
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.
Et le tiers, je l’amènerai dans le feu, et je les affinerai comme on affine l’argent, et je les éprouverai comme on éprouve l’or. Ils invoqueront mon nom, et moi, je leur répondrai; je dirai: C’est ici mon peuple; et lui, dira: L’Éternel est mon Dieu.
