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].
En ce jour tout lieu sera ouvert à la maison de David et aux habitants de Jérusalem, pour le départ et la séparation.
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].
Et ce jour-là voici ce qui arrivera, dit le Seigneur Dieu des armées: J'effacerai les noms des idoles sur la terre, et il n'y aura plus de ces noms aucun souvenir; et J'exterminerai de la terre les faux prophètes et l'esprit immonde.
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].
Et voici ce qui arrivera: si un homme prophétise encore, son père et sa mère qui l'ont engendré lui diront: Tu mourras, parce que tu as dit des mensonges au Nom du Seigneur. Et son père et sa mère qui l'ont engendré l'empêcheront de prophétiser.
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.
Et ce jour-là voici ce qui arrivera: les prophètes menteurs seront confondus, chacun par la vision même pour laquelle il aura prophétisé, et ils se ceindront de cilice de crin, parce qu'ils auront menti.
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!’
Et chacun d'eux dira: Je ne suis point prophète; je suis un homme travaillant la terre, et c'est un homme qui m'a donné le jour, et m'a ainsi élevé depuis ma jeunesse.
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.’”
Et Je lui dirai: Qu'est-ce que ces plaies que Tu as au milieu des mains? Et Il répondra: Ce sont les plaies que J'ai reçues dans une maison bien-aimée.
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].”
Glaive, lève-toi contre Mes pasteurs et contre l'homme qui habite Ma ville, dit le Seigneur tout-puissant; frappez le berger, enlevez les brebis, et J'étendrai Ma main sur les petits.
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.
Et voici ce qui arrivera sur toute la terre, dit le Seigneur: J'en exterminerai deux parts, elles périront; et la troisième part sera épargnée.
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.’”
Et Je ferai passer la troisième part dans la flamme, et Je la purifierai au feu, comme on purifie l'argent, et Je l'éprouverai comme on éprouve l'or. Elle invoquera Mon Nom, et Je l'exaucerai; et Je dirai: Voici Mon peuple; et elle dira: Le Seigneur est mon Dieu.
