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 for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for 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—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will cut off the names of the idols from the land and they will no longer be remembered. I will remove the 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 any man continues to prophesy, his father and mother who bore him will tell him, 'You will not live, for you speak lies in the name of Yahweh!' Then the father and mother who bore him will pierce him when he prophesies.

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 each prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he is about to prophesy. These prophets will no longer wear a hairy cloak, in order to deceive the people.

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

For each will say, 'I am not a prophet! I am a man who works the soil, for the land became my work while I was still a young man!'

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

But someone will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' and he will answer, 'I was wounded with those in my friends' 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.

“Sword! Rouse yourself against my shepherd, the man who stands close to me— this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the flock will scatter! For I will turn my hand against the lowly ones.

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

Then it will come about that throughout all the land—this is Yahweh's declaration— that two-thirds of it will be cut off! Those people will perish; only one-third will remain there.

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 bring that third through the fire and refine them as silver is refined; I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them and say, 'This is my people!' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God!'”
