< Zakari 13 >
1 “Nan jou sa a, va gen yon fontèn dlo ki va ouvri pou lakay David, e pou sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, pou peche ak salte.
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 “Li va vin rive nan jou sa a”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “ke Mwen va koupe retire non a zidòl yo soti nan peyi a, e yo p ap sonje yo ankò. Mwen va osi retire pwofèt yo ak lespri pa pwòp la soti nan peyi a.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah 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 Lè yon moun va pwofetize, alò, papa l ak manman l ki te fè l la va di li: ‘Ou p ap viv, paske ou pale sa ki fo nan non SENYÈ a.’ Konsa, papa li ak manman li ki te fè l la, va fwennen l lè li pwofetize.
And it shall come to pass, if any shall yet prophesy, that his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of Jehovah; and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
4 Anplis, li va vin rive nan jou sa a, ke tout pwofèt yo va vin wont de vizyon yo fè, lè yo ap pwofetize. Yo p ap mete gwo wòb fèt an pwal pou twonpe moun;
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 men yon pwofèt va di: ‘Mwen pa yon pwofèt; mwen se yon kiltivatè tè a, paske mwen se yon sèvitè atache nèt depi mwen jèn.’
And he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for man acquired me [as bondman] from my youth.
6 Konsa, yon moun va vin di l: ‘Ki blesi sa ki nan mitan bra ou yo?’ Epi li va reponn: ‘Sa yo se blesi ke mwen te pran lakay zami mwen yo.’
And one shall say unto him, What are those wounds in thy hands? And he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 “Leve, O nepe, kont bèje Mwen an, e kont nonm nan ki byen pre M,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo. Frape bèje a pou mouton yo ka gaye; epi Mwen va vire men M kont jenn ti piti yo.
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, even against the man [that is] my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered, and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.
8 “Sa va vin rive nan tout peyi a” deklare SENYÈ a, “Ke de pati nan li va vin koupe retire pou l mouri; men twazyèm pati a va rete ladann l.
And it shall come to pass in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left therein.
9 “Konsa, Mwen va mennen fè pase twazyèm pati a nan dife. Mwen va rafine yo tankou yo rafine ajan, e pase yo a leprèv tankou lò. Yo va rele non Mwen, e Mwen va tande yo. Mwen va di: ‘Yo se pèp Mwen’, e yo va di: ‘SENYÈ a, se Bondye mwen an.’”
And I will bring the third part into 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 answer them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.
