< 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.
Aquel día habrá un manantial abierto para la casa de David y los habitantes de Jerusalén, para la purificación del pecado y de la impureza.
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.
Ese día, dice Yavé, de las huestes, eliminaré de la tierra los nombres de los ídolos, y nunca más serán recordados. Desapareceré de la tierra a sus profetas y al espíritu de impureza.
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.
Sucederá que si alguno vuelve a profetizar, los padres que lo engendraron le dirán: ¡No vivirás, porque hablaste falsedad en el Nombre de Yavé! Y sus padres que lo engendraron lo traspasarán cuando profetice.
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:
Aquel día esos profetas se avergonzarán de sus visiones y profecías. Nunca más se vestirán con un manto de pelo áspero para engañar.
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.'
Y dirá: No soy profeta, sino labrador de la tierra, pues estuve en el campo desde mi juventud.
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.'
Le preguntarán: ¿Por qué tienes estas heridas en tus manos? Y él responderá: Con ellas fui herido en la casa de mis amigos.
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.
Oh espada, dice Yavé de las huestes, levántate contra mi Pastor y el compañero mío. Hiere al Pastor, y las ovejas serán dispersadas. Volveré mi mano contra los pequeños.
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.
Acontecerá en toda la tierra, dice Yavé, que dos terceras partes serán cortadas de ella y se perderán. Pero la tercera parte será dejada en ella.
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.'"
Pasaré por el fuego a la tercera parte. Los refinaré como se refina la plata. Los probaré como se prueba el oro. Ellos invocarán mi Nombre, y Yo les responderé: Ellos son mi pueblo. Ellos dirán: Yavé es mi ʼElohim.
