< 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.
“Gaafas mana Daawitii fi jiraattota Yerusaalem cubbuu fi xuraaʼummaa irraa akka qulqulleessuuf burqaan tokko ni banama.
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.
“Ani gaafas maqaa waaqota tolfamoo biyyattii keessaa nan balleessa; isaan lammata hin yaadataman” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Ani raajotaa fi hafuura xuraaʼummaa biyyattii keessaa nan balleessa.
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.
Yoo namni tokko ammas raajii dubbate, abbaa fi haati isaa, warri isa dhalche, ‘Ati maqaa Waaqayyootiin waan soba dubbatteef duʼuu qabda’ jedhuun. Yeroo inni raajii dubbatutti abbaa fi haati isaa warri isa dhalche isa waraanu.
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.
“Guyyaa sana raajiin hundinuu sababii mulʼata raajii isaatiif ni qaanaʼa; inni gowwoomsuudhaaf wayyaa raajii kan rifeensa irraa hojjetame hin uffatu.
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.
Inni, ‘Ani qotee bulaadha malee raajii miti; ijoollummaa kootii jalqabee namni na gurguree ture’ jedha.
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.
Yoo namni tokko, ‘Madaan dhagna kee irraa kun maali?’ jedhee gaafate, inni, ‘Madaan kun madaa ani mana michoota kootti madaaʼee dha’ jedhee deebisa.
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.
“Yaa goraadee, tiksee kootti, nama natti dhiʼaatu sanatti kaʼi!” jedha Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Ati tiksee rukuti; hoolonni ni bittinneeffamu; anis harka koo warra xixinnaatti nan deebifadha.
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.
Lafa hunda irratti” jedha Waaqayyo, “Harka sadii keessaa harki lama rukutamee bada; taʼus harka sadii keessaa harki tokko achitti hafa.
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.
Ani harka sadaffaa kana ibiddattin naqa; akkuma meetii baqsee isaan nan qulqulleessa; akka warqeetti isaan nan qora. Isaan maqaa koo ni waammatu; anis deebii nan kennaaf; ani, ‘Isaan saba koo ti’ nan jedha; isaan immoo, ‘Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya’ jedhu.”
