< 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.
“那日,必给大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民开一个泉源,洗除罪恶与污秽。”
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.
万军之耶和华说:“那日,我必从地上除灭偶像的名,不再被人记念;也必使这地不再有假先知与污秽的灵。
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.
若再有人说预言,生他的父母必对他说:‘你不得存活,因为你托耶和华的名说假预言。’生他的父母在他说预言的时候,要将他刺透。
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.
那日,凡作先知说预言的必因他所论的异象羞愧,不再穿毛衣哄骗人。
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.
他必说:‘我不是先知,我是耕地的;我从幼年作人的奴仆。’
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.
必有人问他说:‘你两臂中间是什么伤呢?’他必回答说:‘这是我在亲友家中所受的伤。’”
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.
万军之耶和华说: 刀剑哪,应当兴起, 攻击我的牧人和我的同伴。 击打牧人,羊就分散; 我必反手加在微小者的身上。
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.
耶和华说:这全地的人, 三分之二必剪除而死, 三分之一仍必存留。
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!”
我要使这三分之一经火, 熬炼他们,如熬炼银子; 试炼他们,如试炼金子。 他们必求告我的名, 我必应允他们。 我要说:这是我的子民。 他们也要说:耶和华是我们的 神。
