< Zakari 13 >
1 Lè sa a, yon sous dlo va pete pou lave moun fanmi David yo ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo pou wete peche yo, pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo sèvi Bondye ankò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
On that day shall there be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for cleansing from sin and for purification.
2 Seyè a pale, li di ankò: -Lè sa a, m'a disparèt ata non zidòl yo nan peyi a. Pesonn p'ap chonje yo ankò. M'a wete pwofèt yo nan peyi a, m'a wete nan kè tout moun lide pou yo sèvi zidòl.
And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more: and also the prophets and the unclean spirit will I remove out of the land.
3 Konsa, si yon moun vle pou l' bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, papa l' ak manman l' ki fè l' va di se pou l' mouri, paske li pran pòz se mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, Seyè a, l'ap bay, epi se pa vre, se manti l'ap bay. Pandan l'ap bay mesaj la, papa l' ak manman l' ki fè l' la va pèse l'.
And it shall come to pass, if any one should yet prophesy, that his father and his mother who have begotten him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for falsely hast thou spoken in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who have begotten him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
4 Lè sa a, pwofèt yo pral wont lè y'a fè yon vizyon. Yo p'ap mete rad fèt ak twal yo te konn gen sou yo. Yo p'ap ka bay manti ankò.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one because of his vision, when he prophesieth; and they shall not clothe themselves with a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
5 Men, tout moun va di: Se pa pwofèt mwen ye. Mwen se yon senp abitan. Depi m' piti se latè m'ap travay.
But he will say, I am no prophet, a man that tilleth the ground am I; for some one hath taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6 Si yon moun mande l': Pouki tout mak blese sa yo sou ponyèt ou? L'a reponn: Se kay yon zanmi sa rive m'.
And should some one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? Then will he say, Those with which I have been wounded in the house of my [vicious] friends.
7 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale, li di ankò: -Nepe, leve non! Al atake gadò mouton m' yo, moun k'ap travay avè m' lan. Touye l' pou bann mouton an ka gaye. M'ap pini ata moun ki pi piti yo.
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man whom I have associated with me, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; but I will turn my hand toward the feeble ones.
8 Nan tout peyi a, sou chak twa moun, de pral mouri, yonn va rete.
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts [of those] therein shall be cut off, shall perish; but the third part shall be left therein.
9 Mwen pral pase rès moun sa yo nan dife. Mwen pral netwaye yo menm jan yo netwaye ajan nan dife. Mwen pral wè ki kalite moun yo ye menm jan yo pase lò nan dife pou wè si li bon. Y'a lapriyè nan pye m', m'a reponn yo. M'a di yo se pèp pa m' yo ye. Y'a di se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye yo.
And I will bring the third part into the fire, and I will refine them as one refineth silver, and will probe them as gold is probed: they will call on my name, and I will answer their prayer; I will say, They arc my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
