< 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.
En ce jour-là il y aura une source ouverte pour la maison de David et pour les habitants de Jérusalem, pour le péché et la souillure.
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.
Et en ce jour-là, dit l'Éternel des armées, j'exterminerai du pays les noms des idoles, pour que leur mémoire se perde, et je bannirai aussi du pays les prophètes et l'esprit impur.
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.
Que si quelqu'un prophétise encore, son père et sa mère, ses parents lui diront: « Tu ne dois pas vivre, car tu as proféré le mensonge au nom de l'Éternel; » et son père et sa mère, ses parents, le transperceront lui prophétisant.
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:
Et en ce jour-là les prophètes auront tous honte de leur vision eux prophétisant, et ils ne revêtiront plus le manteau velu pour tromper.
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.'
Et chacun d'eux dira: Je ne suis point prophète, je suis laboureur, car quelqu'un me vendit dès ma jeunesse.
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.'
Et si on lui dit: Qu'est-ce donc que ces blessures que tu as aux mains? il dira: J'ai reçu ces coups dans la maison de mes amants.
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.
Épée, réveille-toi! [fonds] sur mon pasteur et sur un homme qui est mon proche! dit l'Éternel des armées; frappe le pasteur, et le troupeau se dispersera, mais je reporterai ma main sur les petits.
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.
Et il arrivera dans tout le pays, dit l'Éternel, que les deux tiers en seront exterminés, périront, et que le tiers y survivra.
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.'"
Et je mettrai le tiers au feu et les purifierai, comme on purifie l'argent, et les éprouverai, comme on éprouve l'or. Et ce tiers invoquera mon nom, et moi je l'exaucerai; je dirai: C'est mon peuple; et ils diront: L'Éternel est mon Dieu.
