Hakaraia 13
1 I taua ra ka tuwhera he puna mo te whare o Rawiri, mo nga tangata ano o Hiruharama, hei mea mo te hara, mo te poke.
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 I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka hatepea atu e ahau nga ingoa o nga whakapakoko i runga i te whenua; e kore ano e maharatia a muri ake nei; ka kore ano i ahau nga poropiti, me te wairua poke, i runga i te whenua.
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 Na, tenei ake, ki te poropiti tetahi a muri ake nei, ka mea tona papa ki a ia, raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai ia, E kore koe e ora; kua korero teka hoki koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa: na ka werohia ia e tona papa raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai i a, ina poropiti ia.
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 I taua ra ka whakama nga poropiti, tenei, tenei, ki tana kite, i te mea ka poropiti ia; e kore ano e kakahuria e ratou he kakahu huruhuru hei mea tinihanga.
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 Engari ka mea ia, Ehara ahau i te poropiti, he paruauru ahau, he pononga hoki ahau no toku taitamarikitanga ake.
They will say, “I'm not a prophet, I'm a farmer. I've worked on the land since I was a child.”
6 A ka mea tetahi ki a ia, He aha enei patunga i ou ringa? a ka mea ia, Ko oku patunga i roto i te whare o oku hoa aroha.
If somebody asks him, “What are those wounds on your back?” he will answer, “I was wounded in my friend's house.”
7 E ara, e te hoari, ki taku hepara, ki te tangata i takahoatia ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano; patua te hepara, kia marara hoki nga hipi; ka tahuri atu ano toku ringa ki nga mea ririki.
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 Na i te whenua katoa, e ai ta Ihowa, e rua nga wahi o reira ka hatepea atu, ka mate; ka toe ia te tuatoru o nga wahi ki reira.
Two thirds of the people of the land will be cut down, only one third will remain, says the Lord.
9 Ka kawea ano e ahau te tuatoru o nga wahi i roto i te ahi, ka tahia hoki te para, ka peratia me te hiriwa e tahia ana, ka whakamatautauria ano ratou e ahau, ka peratia me te koura; ka karanga ratou ki toku ingoa, a ka whakarongo ahau ki a ratou: ka mea ahau, He iwi ratou naku; a ka mea ratou, Ko Ihowa toku Atua.
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.”
