Zechariah 13

1 On the day that it will be a fountain opened for [the] house of David and for [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for impurity.

“On that day a spring will be opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for their sin and impurity.

2 And it will be on the day that [the] utterance of - Yahweh of hosts I will cut off [the] names of the idols from the land and not they will be remembered again and also the prophets and [the] spirit of uncleanness I will cause to pass away from the land.

On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will cut off the names of the idols from the land and they will no longer be remembered. I will remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

3 And it will be that he will prophesy anyone still and they will say to him father his and mother his [who] begot him not you will live for falsehood you have spoken in [the] name of Yahweh and they will pierce through him father his and mother his [who] begot him when prophecies he.

If any man continues to prophesy, his father and mother who bore him will tell him, 'You will not live, for you speak lies in the name of Yahweh!' Then the father and mother who bore him will pierce him when he prophesies.

4 And it will be - on the day that they will be ashamed the prophets each one from vision his when prophecies he and not they will wear a cloak of hair so as to deceive.

On that day each prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he is about to prophesy. These prophets will no longer wear a hairy cloak, in order to deceive the people.

5 And he will say not [am] a prophet I [am] a man [who] tills ground I for someone he sold me since youth my.

For each will say, 'I am not a prophet! I am a man who works the soil, for the land became my work while I was still a young man!'

6 And someone will say to him what? [are] the wounds these between hands your and he will say [those] which I was wounded [the] house of friends my.

But someone will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' and he will answer, 'I was wounded with those in my friends' house.'”

7 O sword awake on shepherd my and on [the] man of community my [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts strike the shepherd and they may be scattered the sheep and I will turn hand my on the little [ones].

“Sword! Rouse yourself against my shepherd, the man who stands close to me— this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the flock will scatter! For I will turn my hand against the lowly ones.

8 And it will be in all the land [the] utterance of Yahweh a mouth of two in it they will be cut off they will perish and the third [part] it will be left in it.

Then it will come about that throughout all the land—this is Yahweh's declaration— that two-thirds of it will be cut off! Those people will perish; only one-third will remain there.

9 And I will bring the third [part] in the fire and I will refine them as refines silver and I will test them as tests gold it - it will call on name my and I I will answer it I will say [is] people my it and it it will say Yahweh [is] God my.

I will bring that third through the fire and refine them as silver is refined; I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them and say, 'This is my people!' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God!'”
