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].
“Naquele dia haverá uma fonte aberta à casa de Davi e aos habitantes de Jerusalém, pelo pecado e pela impureza.
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].
Será nesse dia, diz Yahweh dos Exércitos, que cortarei os nomes dos ídolos da terra e eles não serão mais lembrados. Também farei com que os profetas e o espírito de impureza passem para fora da terra.
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].
Acontecerá que quando alguém ainda profetizar, então seu pai e sua mãe que o carregou lhe dirão: 'Você deve morrer, porque fala mentiras em nome de Iavé'; e seu pai e sua mãe que o carregou o esfaquearão quando ele profetizar.
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.
Acontecerá naquele dia que os profetas terão vergonha de sua visão quando ele profetizar; não usarão um manto peludo para enganar,
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!’
mas ele dirá: 'Não sou profeta, sou um lavrador da terra; pois fui feito escravo desde minha juventude'.
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.’”
Um lhe dirá: 'Que feridas são essas entre seus braços?'. Então ele responderá: 'Aqueles com os quais fui ferido na casa de meus amigos'.
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].”
“Despertai, espada, contra meu pastor”, e contra o homem que está perto de mim”, diz Yahweh dos Exércitos. “Bata no pastor, e as ovelhas serão dispersas”; e eu vou virar minha mão contra os pequenos.
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.
Acontecerá que em toda a terra”, diz Yahweh, “duas partes dele serão cortadas e morrerão”; mas o terceiro será deixado nele.
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.’”
trarei a terceira parte para o fogo, e os refinará à medida que a prata for refinada, e os testará como se o ouro fosse testado. Eles invocarão meu nome, e eu os ouvirei. Eu direi: “É meu povo”. e eles dirão: 'Yahweh é meu Deus'”.
