Zacarias 13
1 Naquele dia haverá uma fonte aberta para a casa de Davi e para os moradores de Jerusalém, contra o pecado e a impureza.
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].
2 E será naquele dia, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, que eliminarei da terra os nomes dos ídolos, de modo nunca mais serão lembrados; e também eliminarei da terra os profetas e o espírito impuro.
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].
3 E será que, quando alguém vier a profetizar, seu pai e sua mãe que o geraram lhe dirão: Não viverás, porque tens falado mentira no nome do SENHOR; e seu pai e sua mãe que o geraram o traspassarão quando profetizar.
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].
4 E será naquele dia, que os profetas se envergonharão, cada um de sua visão, quando profetizarem; e nunca mais se vestirão de manto de pelos para mentir
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.
5 Em vez disso, dirá: Não sou profeta; sou lavrador da terra, porque fui feito servo de um homem desde minha juventude.
[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!’
6 E se lhe perguntarem: Que feridas são estas em tuas mãos? Ele responderá: Com elas fui ferido na casa de meus amigos.
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.’”
7 Desperta-te, ó espada, contra o pastor e contra o homem que é companheiro, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos. Fere ao pastor, e as ovelhas se dispersarão; e voltarei minha mão sobre os pequenos.
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].”
8 E será em toda a terra, diz o SENHOR, que as duas partes serão exterminadas nela, e perecerão; mas a terceira parte restará nela.
Yahweh [also] says, “Two-thirds [of the people in Judah] will die [DOU]. [Only] one-third [of the people in Judah] will remain alive.
9 E porei esta terceira parte no fogo, e a refinarei como se refina a prata; e eu os provarei como se prova o ouro. Eles invocarão o meu nome, e eu lhes ouvirei; direi: São meu povo; e eles dirão: O SENHOR é meu Deus.
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.’”
