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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny mpaminany dia samy hahazo henatra noho ny fahitany avy, raha maminany; ary tsy hikapôty volom-biby hamitahana izy,
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 fa hanao hoe: Tsy mpaminany aho, fa mpiasa tany, satria nisy nanandevo ahy, fony aho mbola kely.
They will say, “I'm not a prophet, I'm a farmer. I've worked on the land since I was a child.”
6 Dia hisy hanao aminy hoe: Ka inona itony ratra amin’ ny tananao itony? Dia hovaliany hoe: Naratra tao an-tranon’ ny sakaizako ireny.
If somebody asks him, “What are those wounds on your back?” he will answer, “I was wounded in my friend's 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.
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 Ary amin’ ny tany rehetra, hoy Jehovah, ny androatokony dia haringana ho faty ao; fa ny ampahatelony sisa no havela ao kosa.
Two thirds of the people of the land will be cut down, only one third will remain, says the Lord.
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.
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.”
