< 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,必給大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民開一個泉源,洗除罪惡與污穢。」
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.
萬軍之耶和華說:「那日,我必從地上除滅偶像的名,不再被人記念;也必使這地不再有假先知與污穢的靈。
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.
若再有人說預言,生他的父母必對他說:『你不得存活,因為你託耶和華的名說假預言。』生他的父母在他說預言的時候,要將他刺透。
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,凡作先知說預言的必因他所論的異象羞愧,不再穿毛衣哄騙人。
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.
他必說:『我不是先知,我是耕地的;我從幼年作人的奴僕。』
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.
必有人問他說:『你兩臂中間是甚麼傷呢?』他必回答說:『這是我在親友家中所受的傷。』」
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.
萬軍之耶和華說: 刀劍哪,應當興起, 攻擊我的牧人和我的同伴。 擊打牧人,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.
耶和華說:這全地的人, 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!”
我要使這三分之一經火, 熬煉他們,如熬煉銀子; 試煉他們,如試煉金子。 他們必求告我的名, 我必應允他們。 我要說:這是我的子民。 他們也要說:耶和華是我們的上帝。
