Zechariah 13

1 "In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

“Gbe ma gbe la, vudo aʋu na David ƒe aƒe la kple Yerusalem nɔlawo be woaklɔ wo ŋuti tso vɔ̃ kple ɖiƒoƒowo katã me.

2 It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.

“Gbe ma gbe la, maɖe legbawo katã ƒe ŋkɔ ɖa le anyigba la dzi, eye womagaɖo ŋku wo dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Maɖe nyagblɔɖilawo kple makɔmakɔnyenye ƒe gbɔgbɔ ɖa le anyigba la dzi.

3 It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, 'You must die, because you speak lies in the name of the LORD;' and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.

Ne ame aɖe aganɔ nya gblɔm ɖi la, fofoa kple dadaa, ame siwo dzii la agblɔ nɛ be, ‘Èdze na ku, elabena ègblɔ aʋatsonyawo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me.’ Ke ne egblɔ nya ɖi la, edzilawo ŋutɔ atɔ hɛe wòaku.

4 It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:

“Gbe ma gbe la, nyagblɔɖila ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ŋutega si wòakpɔ la akpe ŋu nɛ. Magado nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe awu si wowɔ kple ɖa la be wòable amewo o.

5 but he will say, 'I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.'

Agblɔ be, ‘Menye nyagblɔɖilae menye o: agbledelae menye. Tso nye ɖekakpuime ke, mekpɔa nye nuɖuɖu tso anyigba me.’

6 One will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your hands?' Then he will answer, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'

Ne ame aɖe abiae be, ‘Nu ka ƒe abiwoe nye esiwo le ŋutiwò?’ la, aɖo eŋu be, ‘Mexɔ abi siawo le xɔ̃nyewo ƒe aƒe me!’

7 "Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me," says the LORD of hosts. "I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

“O yi, nyɔ, nàtso ɖe nye alẽkplɔla la ŋu, ɖe ame si tsɔ ɖe gbɔnye kpokploe la ŋu!” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Xlã nu ɖe alẽkplɔla la, alẽawo aka ahlẽ, eye matrɔ nye asi ɖe suetɔwo ŋu

8 It shall happen that in all the land," says the LORD, "two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.

le anyigba blibo la dzi.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Woaxlã nu ɖe akpa etɔ̃awo ƒe eve woaku, eye akpa etɔ̃awo ƒe ɖeka atsi afi ma.

9 I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, 'It is my people;' and they will say, 'The LORD is my God.'"

Etɔ̃liawo ƒe ɖeka sia matsɔ ade dzo me, maklɔ wo ŋuti abe ale si woklɔa klosaloe ene, eye mado wo kpɔ abe ale si wodoa sika kpɔ ene. Woayɔ nye ŋkɔ, eye matɔ na wo. Magblɔ be, ‘Wonye nye amewo’ Woawo hã agblɔ be, ‘Yehowae nye míaƒe Mawu.’”
