Zakaria 13

1 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy loharano voasokatra ho an’ ny taranak’ i Davida sy ho an’ ny mponina any Jerosalema hanafaka fahotana sy fahalotoana.

In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for separation.

2 Ary amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia hofoanako ny anaran-tsampy amin’ ny tany, ka tsy hotsarovana intsony ireny; ary hesoriko amin’ ny tany ny mpaminany sy ny fanahim-pahalotoana.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, [that] I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer [any] remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land.

3 Ary raha mbola hisy haminany, ny ray aman-dreniny izay niteraka azy dia hanao aminy hoe: Tsy ho velona ianao, satria miteny lainga amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah; ary ny ray aman-dreniny izay niteraka azy dia handefona azy, raha maminany izy.

And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you has spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying.

4 Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny mpaminany dia samy hahazo henatra noho ny fahitany avy, raha maminany; ary tsy hikapôty volom-biby hamitahana izy,

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied.

5 fa hanao hoe: Tsy mpaminany aho, fa mpiasa tany, satria nisy nanandevo ahy, fony aho mbola kely.

And [one] shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up [thus] from my youth.

6 Dia hisy hanao aminy hoe: Ka inona itony ratra amin’ ny tananao itony? Dia hovaliany hoe: Naratra tao an-tranon’ ny sakaizako ireny.

And I will say to him, What are these wounds between your hands? and he shall say, [Those] with which I was wounded in my beloved house.

7 Mifohaza, ry sabatra, hamely ny mpiandriko sy ny lehilahy namako, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro. Asio ny mpiandry, dia hihahaka ny ondry, ary hamerina ny tanako ho amin’ ny madinika Aho.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the man [who is] my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little ones.

8 Ary amin’ ny tany rehetra, hoy Jehovah, ny androatokony dia haringana ho faty ao; fa ny ampahatelony sisa no havela ao kosa.

And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, says the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein.

9 Ary ho entiko miditra amin’ ny afo ny ampahatelony, ary harendrika toy ny fandrendrika volafotsy izy, ary hizahako toetra toy ny fizaha toetra ny volamena izy; hiantso ny anarako izy, ary Izaho hamaly azy; Izaho hanao hoe: Oloko izy ary izy hanao hoe: Jehovah no Andriamanitro.

And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord [is] my God.
