Zechariah 13

1 “In that day there is a fountain opened To the house of David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for impurity.

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 it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “I cut off the names of the idols from the land, And they are not remembered anymore, And also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I cause to pass away from 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 it has been, when one prophesies again, That his parents, his father and his mother, Have said to him, You do not live, For you have spoken falsehood in the Name of YHWH, And his father and his mother, his parents, Have pierced him through in his prophesying.

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 it has come to pass in that day, The prophets are ashamed, each of his vision, in his prophesying, And they do not put on a hairy robe to deceive.

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 And [one] has said, I am not a prophet, A man—I am a tiller of ground, For ground [is] my possession from my youth.

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] has said to him, What [are] these wounds in your hands? And he has said, Because I was struck [at] home by my lovers.

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 Sword, awake against My Shepherd, And against a hero—My Fellow,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts. “Strike the Shepherd, and the flock is scattered, And I have put back My hand on the little 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 it has come to pass, In all the land,” a declaration of YHWH, “Two parts in it are cut off—they expire, And the third is left in it.

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 have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It calls in My Name, and I answer it, I have said, It [is] My people, And it says, YHWH [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」。
