ゼカリヤ書 13
1 その日には、罪と汚れとを清める一つの泉が、ダビデの家とエルサレムの住民とのために開かれる。
“In that day there is a fountain opened To the house of David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for impurity.
2 万軍の主は言われる、その日には、わたしは地から偶像の名を取り除き、重ねて人に覚えられることのないようにする。わたしはまた預言者および汚れの霊を、地から去らせる。
And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “I cut off the names of the idols from the land, And they are not remembered anymore, And also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I cause to pass away from the land.
3 もし、人が今後預言するならば、その産みの父母はこれにむかって、『あなたは主の名をもって偽りを語るゆえ、生きていることができない』と言い、その産みの父母は彼が預言している時、彼を刺すであろう。
And it has been, when one prophesies again, That his parents, his father and his mother, Have said to him, You do not live, For you have spoken falsehood in the Name of YHWH, And his father and his mother, his parents, Have pierced him through in his prophesying.
4 その日には、預言者たちは皆預言する時、その幻を恥じる。また人を欺くための毛の上着を着ない。
And it has come to pass in that day, The prophets are ashamed, each of his vision, in his prophesying, And they do not put on a hairy robe to deceive.
5 そして『わたしは預言者ではない、わたしは土地を耕す者だ。若い時から土地を持っている』と言う。
And [one] has said, I am not a prophet, A man—I am a tiller of ground, For ground [is] my possession from my youth.
6 もし、人が彼に『あなたの背中の傷は何か』と尋ねるならば、『これはわたしの友だちの家で受けた傷だ』と、彼は言うであろう」。
And [one] has said to him, What [are] these wounds in your hands? And he has said, Because I was struck [at] home by my lovers.
7 万軍の主は言われる、「つるぎよ、立ち上がってわが牧者を攻めよ。わたしの次に立つ人を攻めよ。牧者を撃て、その羊は散る。わたしは手をかえして、小さい者どもを攻める。
Sword, awake against My Shepherd, And against a hero—My Fellow,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts. “Strike the Shepherd, and the flock is scattered, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.
8 主は言われる、全地の人の三分の二は断たれて死に、三分の一は生き残る。
And it has come to pass, In all the land,” a declaration of YHWH, “Two parts in it are cut off—they expire, And the third is left in it.
9 わたしはこの三分の一を火の中に入れ、銀をふき分けるように、これをふき分け、金を精錬するように、これを精錬する。彼らはわたしの名を呼び、わたしは彼らに答える。わたしは『彼らはわが民である』と言い、彼らは『主はわが神である』と言う」。
And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It calls in My Name, and I answer it, I have said, It [is] My people, And it says, YHWH [is] my God!”
