Zekaria 13
1 “Pazuva iro imba yaDhavhidhi navagari vomuJerusarema, vachadziurirwa chitubu kuti vanatswe kubva pachivi nokusachena.
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
2 “Pazuva iro, ndichabvisa mazita ezvifananidzo panyika, uye haangazorangarirwizve,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose! “Ndichabvisa zvose vaprofita nemweya wokusachena panyika.
And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered. And I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
3 Uye kana pana ani zvake acharamba achiprofita, baba vake namai vake vakamubereka, vachati kwaari, ‘Unofanira kufa, nokuti wakareva nhema muzita raJehovha.’ Paachaprofita, vabereki vake vachamubaya.
And it shall come to pass that, when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother who begot him shall say to him, Thou shall not live, for thou speak lies in the name of Jehovah. And his father and his mother who begot him shall thrust him through when he prophesies.
4 “Pazuva iro muprofita mumwe nomumwe achanyara nokuda kwechiratidzo chechiprofita chake. Haangazopfeki nguo yemvere yomuprofita kuti anyengere.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed each one of his vision, when he prophesies, nor shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive.
5 Achati, ‘Handisi muprofita. Ndiri murimi; ivhu ndiwo upenyu hwangu kubva pauduku hwangu.’
But he shall say, I am no prophet. I am a tiller of the ground, for I have been made a bondman from my youth.
6 Kana mumwe munhu akamubvunza achiti, ‘Maronda aya ari pamuviri wako ndeeiko?’ achapindura achiti, ‘Maronda andakakuvadzwa paimba yeshamwari dzangu.’
And a man shall say to him, What are these wounds between thine arms? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 “Muka, iwe munondo, urwise mufudzi, urwise munhu ari pedyo neni!” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose. “Rova mufudzi, makwai agopararira, uye ndichasimudza ruoko rwangu kuti rurwise madiki acho.
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is my companion, says Jehovah of hosts. Smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. And I will turn my hand upon the little ones.
8 Munyika yose,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “zvikamu zviviri muzvitatu zvichaurayiwa zvigoparara; asi chikamu chimwe chete muzvitatu ndicho chichasaramo.
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die, but the third shall be left in it.
9 Chikamu chimwe chete ichochi muzvitatu ndichachiisa mumoto; ndichavanatsa sesirivha uye ndichavaedza segoridhe. Vachadana kuzita rangu uye ndichavapindura; ndichati, ‘Ndivo vanhu vangu.’ Uye ivo vachati, ‘Jehovha ndiye Mwari wedu.’”
And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, It is my people, and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.
