Zakkaariyaas 13
1 “Gaafas mana Daawitii fi jiraattota Yerusaalem cubbuu fi xuraaʼummaa irraa akka qulqulleessuuf burqaan tokko ni banama.
“On that day a spring will be opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for their sin and impurity.
2 “Ani gaafas maqaa waaqota tolfamoo biyyattii keessaa nan balleessa; isaan lammata hin yaadataman” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Ani raajotaa fi hafuura xuraaʼummaa biyyattii keessaa nan balleessa.
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 Yoo namni tokko ammas raajii dubbate, abbaa fi haati isaa, warri isa dhalche, ‘Ati maqaa Waaqayyootiin waan soba dubbatteef duʼuu qabda’ jedhuun. Yeroo inni raajii dubbatutti abbaa fi haati isaa warri isa dhalche isa waraanu.
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 “Guyyaa sana raajiin hundinuu sababii mulʼata raajii isaatiif ni qaanaʼa; inni gowwoomsuudhaaf wayyaa raajii kan rifeensa irraa hojjetame hin uffatu.
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 Inni, ‘Ani qotee bulaadha malee raajii miti; ijoollummaa kootii jalqabee namni na gurguree ture’ jedha.
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 Yoo namni tokko, ‘Madaan dhagna kee irraa kun maali?’ jedhee gaafate, inni, ‘Madaan kun madaa ani mana michoota kootti madaaʼee dha’ jedhee deebisa.
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 “Yaa goraadee, tiksee kootti, nama natti dhiʼaatu sanatti kaʼi!” jedha Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Ati tiksee rukuti; hoolonni ni bittinneeffamu; anis harka koo warra xixinnaatti nan deebifadha.
“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 Lafa hunda irratti” jedha Waaqayyo, “Harka sadii keessaa harki lama rukutamee bada; taʼus harka sadii keessaa harki tokko achitti hafa.
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 Ani harka sadaffaa kana ibiddattin naqa; akkuma meetii baqsee isaan nan qulqulleessa; akka warqeetti isaan nan qora. Isaan maqaa koo ni waammatu; anis deebii nan kennaaf; ani, ‘Isaan saba koo ti’ nan jedha; isaan immoo, ‘Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya’ jedhu.”
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!'”
