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 spring will be opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for their 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.

On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will cut off the names of the idols from the land and they will no longer be remembered. I will 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.

If any man continues to prophesy, his father and mother who bore him will tell him, 'You will not live, for you speak lies in the name of Yahweh!' Then the father and mother who bore him will pierce him when he prophesies.

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.

On that day each prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he is about to prophesy. These prophets will no longer wear a hairy cloak, in order to deceive the people.

5 Ta ibaganto ti tunggal maysa, 'Saanak a profeta! Mannalonak, ta nagtaltalonak manipud pay idi kinaagtutubok!'

For each will say, 'I am not a prophet! I am a man who works the soil, for the land became my work while I was still a young man!'

6 Ngem ibaganto ti maysa a tao kenkuana, 'Ania dagitoy a sugat iti nagbaetan dagiti takkiagmo?' agulbodto ket isungbatna, 'Nasugatak iti balay ti gayyemko.”'

But someone will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' and he will answer, 'I was wounded with those in my friends' house.'”

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.

“Sword! Rouse yourself against my shepherd, the man who stands close to me— this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the flock will scatter! For I will turn my hand against the lowly 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.

Then it will come about that throughout all the land—this is Yahweh's declaration— that two-thirds of it will be cut off! Those people will perish; only one-third will remain there.

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!”'

I will bring that third through the fire and refine them as silver is refined; I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them and say, 'This is my people!' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God!'”
