< Zechariah 13 >

1 At that time [it will be as though] [MET] there will be a fountain from which water flows continually to cleanse the descendants [MTY] of [King] David and [all] the [other] people in Jerusalem from the guilt of the sins that they have committed, [especially] from becoming unacceptable to me [by worshiping idols].
U onaj dan otvorit će se izvor domu Davidovu i Jeruzalemcima da se operu od grijeha i nečistoće.
2 The Commander of the armies of angels says, “At that time, I will prevent [people from even mentioning] the names of the idols in their country, and no one will remember them any more. I will also expel from the land all the people who falsely claim that they are prophets [DOU].
U onaj dan - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - iskorijenit ću iz zemlje imena kumirÄa da se više ne spominju; uklonit ću iz zemlje i proroke i duh nečistoće.
3 If someone continues to prophesy [falsely], his parents must say to him, ‘You have told lies saying that Yahweh [MTY] gave those messages to you, so you must be executed.’ [So] if someone prophesies [like that], his own father and mother must stab him [and kill him].
Ako netko još bude prorokovao, otac i mati koji su ga rodili reći će mu: 'Nećeš više živjeti, jer laž govoriš u ime Jahvino!' Otac i mati koji su ga rodili probost će ga kada bude prorokovao.
4 At that time, the false prophets will be ashamed [that they claimed to have received messages from me in] their visions and prophesies [that they told to people]. They will no [longer] deceive people by wearing the clothes [that prophets usually wear], clothes made of [animals’] hair.
U onaj dan svaki će se prorok stidjeti svoga viđenja; neće se više ogrtati plaštem od kostrijeti da bi lagali,
5 [So] each of them will say, ‘I am not [really] a prophet; I am a farmer, and I have been a farmer on my land ever since I was a boy!’
nego će govoriti: 'Nisam ja prorok; ja sam ratar, zemlja je moje dobro od mladosti!'
6 But someone, [seeing the wounds on one of those prophet’s bodies, will suspect that he injured himself during rituals to worship idols, and he] will ask ‘Why are those wounds on your body?’ And he [will lie, saying] ‘I was injured [when I was] at my friend’s house.’”
Ako li ga tko upita: 'Kakve su ti to rane po tijelu?' on će odgovoriti: 'Izranjen sam kod prijateljÄa.'
7 The Commander of the armies of angels says, “[My] sword [APO] must strike [the one who is like] [MET] my shepherd, the man who is (my companion/very (close/dear) to me). When the shepherd is killed, [those who are like] [MET] his sheep will scatter. [And those who are like] [MET] my little sheep will [also] be attacked [IDM].”
Probudi se, maču, protiv mog pastira, protiv čovjeka, moga srodnika - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama. Udari pastira, i ovce će se razbjeći! Okrenut ću ruku protiv slabića,
8 Yahweh [also] says, “Two-thirds [of the people in Judah] will die [DOU]. [Only] one-third [of the people in Judah] will remain alive.
i u svoj će zemlji - riječ je Jahvina - dvije trećine biti istrijebljene, a trećina ostavljena.
9 And I will test the ones that remain alive [by causing them to experience great difficulties, to find out if they will continue to worship me]. I will purify them like [MET] a man purifies gold or silver by putting it into a [very hot] fire. [Then] my people will call to me [MTY] [for help], and I will answer them. I will say [to them], ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is our God.’”
Tu ću trećinu kroz oganj provesti, pročistit ću ih kao što se pročišćuje srebro, iskušat' ih kao što se srebro iskušava. I on će zazivati ime moje, a ja ću mu se odazvati; i reći ću: 'Moj je to narod!' a on će reći: 'Jahve je Bog moj!'”
