Zechariah 13

1 “On that day a spring will be opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for their sin and impurity.

U onaj dan otvorit će se izvor domu Davidovu i Jeruzalemcima da se operu od grijeha i nečistoće.

2 On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will cut off the names of the idols from the land and they will no longer be remembered. I will remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

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 any man continues to prophesy, his father and mother who bore him will tell him, 'You will not live, for you speak lies in the name of Yahweh!' Then the father and mother who bore him will pierce him when he prophesies.

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 On that day each prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he is about to prophesy. These prophets will no longer wear a hairy cloak, in order to deceive the people.

U onaj dan svaki će se prorok stidjeti svoga viđenja; neće se više ogrtati plaštem od kostrijeti da bi lagali,

5 For each will say, 'I am not a prophet! I am a man who works the soil, for the land became my work while I was still a young man!'

nego će govoriti: 'Nisam ja prorok; ja sam ratar, zemlja je moje dobro od mladosti!'

6 But someone will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' and he will answer, 'I was wounded with those in my friends' house.'”

Ako li ga tko upita: 'Kakve su ti to rane po tijelu?' on će odgovoriti: 'Izranjen sam kod prijateljÄa.'

7 “Sword! Rouse yourself against my shepherd, the man who stands close to me— this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the flock will scatter! For I will turn my hand against the lowly ones.

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 Then it will come about that throughout all the land—this is Yahweh's declaration— that two-thirds of it will be cut off! Those people will perish; only one-third will remain there.

i u svoj će zemlji - riječ je Jahvina - dvije trećine biti istrijebljene, a trećina ostavljena.

9 I will bring that third through the fire and refine them as silver is refined; I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them and say, 'This is my people!' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my 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!'”
