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 ese día habrá un manantial abierto para la familia de David y al pueblo de Jerusalén, por el pecado y por la inmundicia.
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].
Y sucederá ese día, dice el Señor de los ejércitos, que tendré los nombres de las imágenes destruidas de la tierra, y no habrá más recuerdos de ellos; y enviaré todos los profetas y el espíritu inmundo lejos de la tierra.
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].
Y si alguien sigue actuando como profeta, entonces su padre y su madre que le dieron la vida le dirán: No puedes seguir viviendo, porque estás diciendo lo que es falso en el nombre del Señor; y su padre y su madre le apuñalaran mientras profetiza.
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.
Y sucederá en ese día que los profetas serán avergonzados, cada uno a causa de su visión cuando profetice, y no se vestirán con manto velludo con fines de engaño.
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!’
Pero él dirá: No soy profeta, sino un trabajador en la tierra; porque he sido dueño de tierras desde que era joven.
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.’”
Y si alguien le dice: ¿Cuáles son estas heridas entre tus manos? entonces él dirá: fui herido en la casa de mis 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].”
¡Levántate! Oh espada, contra el pastor de mi rebaño, y contra el que está conmigo, dice el Señor de los ejércitos: mata al pastor de las ovejas, y las ovejas se esparcirán; y mi mano se volverá contra los corderos.
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.
Y sucederá que en toda la tierra, dice el Señor, dos partes serán cortadas y llegarán a su fin; pero las terceras seguirá viviendo allí.
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.’”
Y haré que la tercera parte pasará por el fuego, los refinare como se refina la plata, probándose como se prueba el oro: y me invocarán y les daré una respuesta; y diré: es mi pueblo; Y dirán: El Señor es mi Dios.
