Zacharie 13

1 En ce jour-là, une source sera ouverte Pour la maison de David et les habitants de Jérusalem, Pour le péché et pour l’impureté.

In that day there shall be a fountain open to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: for the washing of the sinner, and of the unclean woman.

2 En ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel des armées, J’exterminerai du pays les noms des idoles, Afin qu’on ne s’en souvienne plus; J’ôterai aussi du pays les prophètes et l’esprit d’impureté.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will destroy the names of idols out of the earth, and they shall be remembered no more: and I will take away the false prophets, and the unclean spirit out of the earth.

3 Si quelqu’un prophétise encore, Son père et sa mère, qui l’ont engendré, lui diront: Tu ne vivras pas, car tu dis des mensonges au nom de l’Éternel! Et son père et sa mère, qui l’ont engendré, le transperceront Quand il prophétisera.

And it shall come to pass, that when any man shall prophesy any more, his father and his mother that brought him into the world, shall say to him: Thou shalt not live: because thou best spoken a lie in the name of the Lord. And his father, and his mother, his parents, shall thrust him through, when he shall prophesy.

4 En ce jour-là, les prophètes rougiront de leurs visions Quand ils prophétiseront, Et ils ne revêtiront plus un manteau de poil pour mentir.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be confounded, every one by his own vision, when he shall prophesy, neither shall they be clad with a garment of sackcloth, to deceive:

5 Chacun d’eux dira: Je ne suis pas prophète, Je suis laboureur, Car on m’a acheté dès ma jeunesse.

But he shall say: I am no prophet, I am a husbandman: for Adam is my example from my youth.

6 Et si on lui demande: D’où viennent ces blessures que tu as aux mains? Il répondra: C’est dans la maison de ceux qui m’aimaient que je les ai reçues.

And they shall say to him: What are these wounds in the midst of thy hands? And he shall say: With these I was wounded in the house of them that loved me.

7 Épée, lève-toi sur mon pasteur Et sur l’homme qui est mon compagnon! Dit l’Éternel des armées. Frappe le pasteur, et que les brebis se dispersent! Et je tournerai ma main vers les faibles.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that cleaveth to me, saith the Lord of hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand to the little ones.

8 Dans tout le pays, dit l’Éternel, Les deux tiers seront exterminés, périront, Et l’autre tiers restera.

And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord, two parts in it shall be scattered, and shall perish: but the third part shall be left therein.

9 Je mettrai ce tiers dans le feu, Et je le purifierai comme on purifie l’argent, Je l’éprouverai comme on éprouve l’or. Il invoquera mon nom, et je l’exaucerai; Je dirai: C’est mon peuple! Et il dira: L’Éternel est mon Dieu!

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