< Zacarias 13 >

1 “Iti dayta nga aldaw, addanto ti ubbog a malukatan nga agpaay iti balay ni David ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem, para iti basol ken kinarugitda.
“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the people of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
2 Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw,”—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin—”a pukawekto dagiti nagan dagiti didiosen iti daga tapno saanton a malagip dagiti tattao dagitoy. Papanawekto met iti daga dagiti palso a profeta ken dagiti narugit nga espirituda.
And on that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will erase the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will also remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.
3 No itultuloy ti siasinoman nga agipadto, ibaganto kenkuana ti ama ken inana a nangipasngay kenkuana, 'Saanka nga agbiag, ta agsasaoka iti inuulbod iti nagan ni Yahweh!' Ket no agipadto isuna, duyokento isuna ti ama ken inana a nangipasngay kenkuana.
And if anyone still prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You shall not remain alive, because you have spoken falsely in the name of the LORD.’ When he prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will pierce him through.
4 Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw a mabain a mangipakaammo ti tunggal palso a profeta iti sirmatana inton agipadto isuna. Saanton nga agkawes dagitoy a profeta iti kagay a dutdotan, tapno mangallilaw kadagiti tattao.
And on that day every prophet who prophesies will be ashamed of his vision, and he will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
5 Ta ibaganto ti tunggal maysa, 'Saanak a profeta! Mannalonak, ta nagtaltalonak manipud pay idi kinaagtutubok!'
He will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I work the land, for I was purchased as a servant in my youth.’
6 Ngem ibaganto ti maysa a tao kenkuana, 'Ania dagitoy a sugat iti nagbaetan dagiti takkiagmo?' agulbodto ket isungbatna, 'Nasugatak iti balay ti gayyemko.”'
If someone asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your chest?’ he will answer, ‘These are the wounds I received in the house of my friends.’
7 “Kampilan! Inka rauten ti parapastorko, ti tao a nasinged a kaduak” — daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin. “Papatayem ti parapastor, ket maiwarawaranto ti arban! Ta idissuorko ti imak kadagiti nakapuy.
Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the man who is My Companion, declares the LORD of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn My hand against the little ones.
8 Ket mapasamakto iti entero a daga”—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—”ta matayto ti dua a kakatlo a paset daytoy! Matayto dagidiay a tattao; ti kakatlo laeng a paset ti mabati sadiay.
And in all the land, declares the LORD, two-thirds will be cut off and perish, but a third will be left in it.
9 Paglasatekto iti apuy dayta a kakatlo a paset ket gugorakto ida a kas iti pannakagugor ti pirak; gugorakto ida kas iti pannakagugor ti balitok. Umawagdanto iti naganko, ket sungbatakto ida a kunak, “Dagitoy dagiti tattaok!’ ket kunadanto, 'Ni Yahweh ti Diosko!”'
This third I will bring through the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”
