Zekaraya 13
1 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, a ga-emeghe isi iyi mmiri nye ụlọ Devid na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem. Ọ ga-abụ isi iyi a ga-eji sachapụ mmehie na adịghị ọcha ha niile.
“In that day there will be a fountain opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
2 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, kwubiri, aga m ebipụ aha arụsị niile dị nʼala ahụ, a gaghị echetakwa ha ọzọ. Aga m esitekwa nʼala a wezuga ma ndị amụma ma mmụọ nke adịghị ọcha niile.
It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.
3 Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla a ga nʼihu na-ebu amụma, nne na nna ndị mụrụ ya ga-asị ya, ‘Ị ghaghị ịnwụ nʼihi na i kwuola okwu ụgha nʼaha Onyenwe anyị.’ Mgbe onye dị otu a bukwara amụma, ọ bụ nne na nna ya ga-eji ùbe magbuo ya.
It will happen that when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in the LORD’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.
4 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ihere ga-emekwa ndị amụma nʼihi ibu amụma banyere ọhụ nke ha hụrụ. Ha agaghị eyikwa uwe ajị anụ nke ndị amụma na-eyi nʼihi iduhie ndị mmadụ,
It will happen in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they won’t wear a hairy mantle to deceive,
5 Onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-asịkwa, ‘Abụghị m onye amụma, onye ọrụ ubi ka m bụ, ọ bụ ihe si nʼala ka m ji azụ onwe m site na mgbe m bụ okorobịa.’
but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’
6 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ajụọ, ‘Gịnị bụ ọnya ndị a niile dị gị nʼahụ?’ Ha ga-azaghachi, ‘Ọnya ndị etipụtara m nʼụlọ ndị enyi m.’
One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’
7 “Teta nʼụra, gị mma agha, imegide onye ọzụzụ atụrụ m, na imegide nwoke ibe m, nke nọ m nso,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri. “Tigbuo onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, igwe atụrụ ga-agbasasịkwa. Aga m eweli aka m megide ndị dị nta.
“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says the LORD of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 Nʼala ahụ niile,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya, “Ụzọ mmadụ abụọ nʼime ụzọ atọ ka a ga-etida, ma otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ ga-afọdụ nʼime ya.
It shall happen that in all the land,” says the LORD, “two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
9 Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ a fọdụrụ ka m ga-ewebata nʼime ọkụ. Aga m eji ọkụ nụchaa ha dịka e si anụcha ọlaọcha, jiri ọkụ nwaa ha dịka e si anwa ọlaedo. Ha ga-akpọku aha m, aga m azakwa ha. Aga m asịkwa, ‘Ndị a bụ ndị m,’ Ha onwe ha ga-asịkwa, ‘Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị.’”
I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
