Zekaria 13

1 “Gbe ma gbe la, vudo aʋu na David ƒe aƒe la kple Yerusalem nɔlawo be woaklɔ wo ŋuti tso vɔ̃ kple ɖiƒoƒowo katã me.

IN that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

2 “Gbe ma gbe la, maɖe legbawo katã ƒe ŋkɔ ɖa le anyigba la dzi, eye womagaɖo ŋku wo dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Maɖe nyagblɔɖilawo kple makɔmakɔnyenye ƒe gbɔgbɔ ɖa le anyigba la dzi.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

3 Ne ame aɖe aganɔ nya gblɔm ɖi la, fofoa kple dadaa, ame siwo dzii la agblɔ nɛ be, ‘Èdze na ku, elabena ègblɔ aʋatsonyawo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me.’ Ke ne egblɔ nya ɖi la, edzilawo ŋutɔ atɔ hɛe wòaku.

And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

4 “Gbe ma gbe la, nyagblɔɖila ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ŋutega si wòakpɔ la akpe ŋu nɛ. Magado nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe awu si wowɔ kple ɖa la be wòable amewo o.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:

5 Agblɔ be, ‘Menye nyagblɔɖilae menye o: agbledelae menye. Tso nye ɖekakpuime ke, mekpɔa nye nuɖuɖu tso anyigba me.’

But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

6 Ne ame aɖe abiae be, ‘Nu ka ƒe abiwoe nye esiwo le ŋutiwò?’ la, aɖo eŋu be, ‘Mexɔ abi siawo le xɔ̃nyewo ƒe aƒe me!’

And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

7 “O yi, nyɔ, nàtso ɖe nye alẽkplɔla la ŋu, ɖe ame si tsɔ ɖe gbɔnye kpokploe la ŋu!” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Xlã nu ɖe alẽkplɔla la, alẽawo aka ahlẽ, eye matrɔ nye asi ɖe suetɔwo ŋu

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

8 le anyigba blibo la dzi.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Woaxlã nu ɖe akpa etɔ̃awo ƒe eve woaku, eye akpa etɔ̃awo ƒe ɖeka atsi afi ma.

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

9 Etɔ̃liawo ƒe ɖeka sia matsɔ ade dzo me, maklɔ wo ŋuti abe ale si woklɔa klosaloe ene, eye mado wo kpɔ abe ale si wodoa sika kpɔ ene. Woayɔ nye ŋkɔ, eye matɔ na wo. Magblɔ be, ‘Wonye nye amewo’ Woawo hã agblɔ be, ‘Yehowae nye míaƒe Mawu.’”

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
