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].
その日罪と汚穢を清むる一の泉ダビデの家とヱルサレムの居民のために開くべし
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].
萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ其日には我地より偶像の名を絶のぞき重て人に記憶らるること無らしむべし我また預言者および汚穢の靈を地より去しむべし
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].
人もしなほ預言することあらば其生の父母これに言ん汝は生べからず汝はヱホバの名をもて虚僞を語るなりと而してその生の父母これが預言しをるを刺ん
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.
その日には預言者等預言するに方りてその異象を羞ん重て人を欺かんために毛衣を纒はじ
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!’
彼言ん我は預言者にあらず地を耕へす者なり即ち我は若き時より人に買れたりと
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.’”
若これに向ひて然らば汝の兩手の間の傷は何ぞやと言あらば是は我が愛する者の家にて受たる傷なりと答へん
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].”
萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ劍よ起て我牧者わが伴侶なる人を攻よ牧者を撃て然らばその羊散らん我また我手を小き者等の上に伸べし
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.
ヱホバ言たまふ全地の人二分は絶れて死に三分の一はその中に遺らん
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.’”
我その三分の一を携へて火にいれ銀を熬分るごとくに之を熬分け金を試むるごとくに之を試むべし彼らわが名を呼ん我これにこたへん我これは我民なりと言ん彼等またヱホバは我神なりと言ん
