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 there shall be a fountain opened To the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for uncleanness.

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, Saith Jehovah of hosts, That I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, And they shall no more be remembered; And the prophets also, and the impure spirit, Will I cause to pass out of 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, when any one shall yet prophesy, That his father and mother shall say to him, Even they that begat him, “Thou shalt not live; For thou hast spoken falsehood in the name of Jehovah.” And his father and mother that begat him shall pierce him through when he prophesieth.

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 prophet shall be ashamed Every one of his vision when he prophesieth; Neither shall they wear a garment of hair, to deceive.

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

But each shall say, “I am no prophet; I am a man that tilleth the ground; For a man hath purchased me 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 when one shall say to him, “What are these wounds in thy hands?” He shall answer, “Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.”

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 shepherd, Even against the man who is my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts! Smite the shepherd, and let the sheep be scattered! I will also turn 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.

And it shall come to pass in all the land, saith Jehovah, That two parts therein shall be cut off and die; But the third part 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 will refine them, as silver is refined, And will try them, as gold is tried; They shall call upon me, and I will hear them; I will say, “It is my people.” And they shall say, “Jehovah is our God.”
