Zekaria 13
1 “Mũthenya ũcio gĩthima nĩgĩgathikũrio nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Daudi o na nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu, gĩthima gĩa kũmatheria mehia o na thaahu.”
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 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio nĩnganiina marĩĩtwa ma mĩhianano ya kũhooywo mathire bũrũri-inĩ, na matigacooka kũririkanwo rĩngĩ. Nĩngeheria anabii hamwe na roho ũcio wa thaahu, mathire bũrũri-inĩ.
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 Na rĩrĩ, kũngĩgaakorwo na mũndũ ũrathiĩ na mbere na kũratha mohoro-rĩ, ithe na nyina, arĩa mamũciarĩte, nĩ makaamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘No nginya ũkue, nĩ ũndũ nĩwarĩtie maheeni ũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.’ Rĩrĩa akaaratha mohoro-rĩ, aciari ake mwene nĩmakamũtheeca na rũhiũ.
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 shall 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 “Mũthenya ũcio mũnabii o wothe nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa kĩoneki kĩa ũrathi wake. Ndakehumba nguo ya maguoya ya mũnabii nĩguo aheenie andũ.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:
5 Akoigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndirĩ mũnabii, ndĩ mũrĩmi, ndũũragio nĩ mũgũnda kuuma ũnini-inĩ wakwa.’
but he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondman from my youth.
6 Nake mũndũ angĩkamũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ironda ici irĩ mwĩrĩ waku nĩ cia kĩ?’ we agaacookia atĩrĩ, ‘Ironda ici ndagĩĩrĩire nyũmba-inĩ ya arata akwa.’
And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds between thine arms? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 “Arahũka, wee rũhiũ rwa njora, ũũkĩrĩre mũrĩithi wakwa, ũkĩrĩra mũndũ ũcio wa hakuhĩ na niĩ!” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga. “Ringa mũrĩithi, nacio ngʼondu nĩikũhurunjũka, nakuo guoko gwakwa ndĩkwerekerie kũrĩ tũgondu, ndĩtũũkĩrĩre.”
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 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri-inĩ guothe, andũ icunjĩ igĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa ithatũ nĩmakooragwo, mathire; no rĩrĩ, gĩcunjĩ kĩmwe gĩa ithatũ nĩgĩgatigara kuo.
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 Gĩcunjĩ kĩu gĩa ithatũ kĩa andũ nĩngakĩhĩtũkĩria mwaki-inĩ; ngaamatheria ta betha, na ndĩmagerie ta ũrĩa thahabu igeragio. Nĩmagakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, na niĩ nĩngametĩka; Nĩngoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Aya nĩ andũ akwa,’ nao moige atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nĩwe Ngai witũ.’”
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.
