Zaharija 13

1 »Na tisti dan bo studenec odprt Davidovi hiši in prebivalcem Jeruzalema zaradi greha in zaradi nečistosti.

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 In zgodilo se bo na tisti dan, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, » da bom iz dežele iztrebil imena malikov in ne bodo se jih več spominjali, in prav tako bom prerokom in nečistemu duhu povzročil, da zapustijo deželo.

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 In zgodilo se bo, da kdorkoli bo še prerokoval, potem mu bosta njegov oče in njegova mati, ki sta ga zaplodila, rekla: ›Ne boš živel, kajti v Gospodovem imenu govoriš laži.‹ Njegov oče in njegova mati, ki sta ga zaplodila, ga bosta prebodla, ko prerokuje.

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 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bodo preroki osramočeni, vsak zaradi svoje vizije, ko je prerokoval. Niti ne bodo nosili grobe obleke, da bi zavajali,

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 temveč bo rekel: ›Jaz nisem prerok, poljedelec sem. Kajti mož me je od moje mladosti naučil, da varujem živino.‹

[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 In nekdo mu bo rekel: ›Kaj so te rane na tvojih rokah?‹ Potem bo odgovoril: › Tiste, s katerimi sem bil ranjen v hiši svojih prijateljev.‹

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 Prebudi se, oh meč, zoper mojega pastirja in zoper človeka, ki je moj družabnik, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, »udari pastirja in ovce bodo razkropljene in svojo roko bom [ponovno] obrnil nad malčke.

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 In zgodilo se bo, da bosta v vsej tej deželi, « govori Gospod, »dva njena dela odsekana in bosta umrla, toda tretji bo ostal v njej.

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 In tretji del bom popeljal skozi ogenj in prečistil jih bom, kakor se prečiščuje srebro in preizkusil jih bom, kakor se preizkuša zlato. Klicali bodo k mojemu imenu in jaz jih bom slišal: ›Rekel bom: ›To je moje ljudstvo‹ in rekli bodo: » Gospod je moj Bog.‹«

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.’”
