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.
On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David, and for 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 will be on that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land and they will be remembered no more. And the prophets and the unclean spirit I will banish from 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.
If any man prophesy any more, his father and his mother who bore him, will say to him, ‘You will not live, for you speak falsehood in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and his mother who bore him will stab him through when he is seized by the prophetic frenzy.
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 will be in that day that the prophets will be ashamed, each of his vision, and will not wear the hairy mantle in order to deceive.
5 Agblɔ be, ‘Menye nyagblɔɖilae menye o: agbledelae menye. Tso nye ɖekakpuime ke, mekpɔa nye nuɖuɖu tso anyigba me.’
Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet, a tiller of the ground am I, for the ground is my possession 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 they will say to him, ‘What are these scars on your back?’ And he will say, ‘The scars which I received 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, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who stands near to me, says the Lord of hosts. I will strike the shepherd so that the sheep may be scattered, I will turn my hand against 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.
In all the land, says the Lord, two-thirds in it will be cut off and die, but a third will be left in it.
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.’”
I will bring the third into the fire, and melt it as one melts silver, and test it as one tests gold. Then they will call on my name, and I myself will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people.’ They will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’
