ゼカリヤ書 13

1 その日罪と汚穢を清むる一の泉ダビデの家とヱルサレムの居民のために開くべし

On that day a spring will be opened and continually flow for the house of David and for the people of Jerusalem to wash away their sin and impurity.

2 萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ其日には我地より偶像の名を絶のぞき重て人に記憶らるること無らしむべし我また預言者および汚穢の靈を地より去しむべし

On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will wipe out idol worship from the land—the idols will not be remembered any longer. I will remove the false prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

3 人もしなほ預言することあらば其生の父母これに言ん汝は生べからず汝はヱホバの名をもて虚僞を語るなりと而してその生の父母これが預言しをるを刺ん

If anyone continues to prophesy, his father and mother to whom he was born will tell him, “You shall not live, because you have told lies in the Lord's name.” Then his parents shall kill him because he has prophesied.

4 その日には預言者等預言するに方りてその異象を羞ん重て人を欺かんために毛衣を纒はじ

On that day such prophets will be too humiliated to prophesy their supposed visions. In order to deceive they will not put on their prophet's clothes made of coarse hair.

5 彼言ん我は預言者にあらず地を耕へす者なり即ち我は若き時より人に買れたりと

They will say, “I'm not a prophet, I'm a farmer. I've worked on the land since I was a child.”

6 若これに向ひて然らば汝の兩手の間の傷は何ぞやと言あらば是は我が愛する者の家にて受たる傷なりと答へん

If somebody asks him, “What are those wounds on your back?” he will answer, “I was wounded in my friend's house.”

7 萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ劍よ起て我牧者わが伴侶なる人を攻よ牧者を撃て然らばその羊散らん我また我手を小き者等の上に伸べし

Wake up, my sword! Attack my shepherd, the man who stands beside me! declares the Lord. Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered, and I will raise my hand against the lambs.

8 ヱホバ言たまふ全地の人二分は絶れて死に三分の一はその中に遺らん

Two thirds of the people of the land will be cut down, only one third will remain, says the Lord.

9 我その三分の一を携へて火にいれ銀を熬分るごとくに之を熬分け金を試むるごとくに之を試むべし彼らわが名を呼ん我これにこたへん我これは我民なりと言ん彼等またヱホバは我神なりと言ん

I will place this one third in the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on me for help, and I will answer them. I will say, “These are my people,” and they will say, “The Lord is my God.”
