زکریا 13

۱ 1 در آن روز برای خاندان داود و ساکنان اورشلیم چشمه‌ای به جهت گناه ونجاست مفتوح خواهد شد.

At that time [it will be as though] [MET] there will be a fountain from which water flows continually to cleanse the descendants [MTY] of [King] David and [all] the [other] people in Jerusalem from the guilt of the sins that they have committed, [especially] from becoming unacceptable to me [by worshiping idols].

۲ 2 و یهوه صبایوت می‌گوید در آن روز نامهای بتها را از روی زمین منقطع خواهم ساخت که بار دیگر آنها رابیادنخواهند‌آورد و انبیا و روح پلید را نیز از زمین دور خواهم کرد.

The Commander of the armies of angels says, “At that time, I will prevent [people from even mentioning] the names of the idols in their country, and no one will remember them any more. I will also expel from the land all the people who falsely claim that they are prophets [DOU].

۳ 3 و هر‌که بار دیگر نبوت نمایدپدر و مادرش که او را تولید نموده‌اند، وی راخواهند گفت که زنده نخواهی ماند زیرا که به اسم یهوه دروغ می‌گویی. و چون نبوت نماید پدر ومادرش که او را تولید نموده‌اند، وی را عرضه تیغ خواهند ساخت.

If someone continues to prophesy [falsely], his parents must say to him, ‘You have told lies saying that Yahweh [MTY] gave those messages to you, so you must be executed.’ [So] if someone prophesies [like that], his own father and mother must stab him [and kill him].

۴ 4 و در آن روز هر کدام از آن انبیاچون نبوت می‌کنند، از رویاهای خویش خجل خواهند شد و جامه پشمین به جهت فریب دادن نخواهند پوشید.

At that time, the false prophets will be ashamed [that they claimed to have received messages from me in] their visions and prophesies [that they told to people]. They will no [longer] deceive people by wearing the clothes [that prophets usually wear], clothes made of [animals’] hair.

۵ 5 و هر یک خواهد گفت: من نبی نیستم بلکه زرع کننده زمین می‌باشم زیرا که ازطفولیت خود به غلامی فروخته شده‌ام.

[So] each of them will say, ‘I am not [really] a prophet; I am a farmer, and I have been a farmer on my land ever since I was a boy!’

۶ 6 و او راخواهند گفت: این جراحات که در دستهای تومی باشد چیست؟ و او جواب خواهد داد آنهایی است که در خانه دوستان خویش به آنها مجروح شده‌ام.

But someone, [seeing the wounds on one of those prophet’s bodies, will suspect that he injured himself during rituals to worship idols, and he] will ask ‘Why are those wounds on your body?’ And he [will lie, saying] ‘I was injured [when I was] at my friend’s house.’”

۷ 7 یهوه صبایوت می‌گوید: «ای شمشیر به ضدشبان من و به ضد آن مردی که همدوش من است برخیز! شبان را بزن و گوسفندان پراکنده خواهندشد و من دست خود را بر کوچکان خواهم برگردانید.»

The Commander of the armies of angels says, “[My] sword [APO] must strike [the one who is like] [MET] my shepherd, the man who is (my companion/very (close/dear) to me). When the shepherd is killed, [those who are like] [MET] his sheep will scatter. [And those who are like] [MET] my little sheep will [also] be attacked [IDM].”

۸ 8 و خداوند می‌گوید که «در تمامی زمین دوحصه منقطع شده خواهند مرد و حصه سوم درآن باقی خواهد ماند.

Yahweh [also] says, “Two-thirds [of the people in Judah] will die [DOU]. [Only] one-third [of the people in Judah] will remain alive.

۹ 9 و حصه سوم را از میان آتش خواهم گذرانید و ایشان را مثل قال گذاشتن نقره قال خواهم گذاشت و مثل مصفی ساختن طلا ایشان را مصفی خواهم نمود و اسم مراخواهند خواند و من ایشان را اجابت نموده، خواهم گفت که ایشان قوم من هستند و ایشان خواهند گفت که یهوه خدای ما می‌باشد.»

And I will test the ones that remain alive [by causing them to experience great difficulties, to find out if they will continue to worship me]. I will purify them like [MET] a man purifies gold or silver by putting it into a [very hot] fire. [Then] my people will call to me [MTY] [for help], and I will answer them. I will say [to them], ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is our God.’”
