< Zacarías 13 >
1 Ese día se abrirá una fuente que brotará continuamente porque la casa de David y el pueblo de Jerusalén para limpiar su pecado e impureza.
In that day, there will be a fountain open to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for the washing of the transgressor and of the defiled woman.
2 Ese día, declara el Señor Todopoderoso, eliminaré la idolatría de la tierra, y no habrá nunca más memoria de los ídolos. Yo quitaré a los falsos profetas y al espíritu de impureza de la tierra.
And this shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts: I will disperse the names of the idols from the earth, and they will not be remembered any longer. And I will take away the false prophets and the unclean spirit from the earth.
3 Si alguno sigue profetizando, su padre o madre le dirán: “No vivirás, porque has engañado en nombre del Señor”. Entonces sus padres lo matarán, porque ha profetizado.
And this shall be: when any devotee will continue to prophesy, his father and his mother, who conceived him, will say to him, “You shall not live, because you have been speaking a lie in the name of the Lord.” And his father and his mother, his own parents, will pierce him, when he will prophesy.
4 Ese día, tales profetas sentirán vergüenza de profetizar sus supuestas visiones. Para engañar no se pondrán más sus vestiduras de profetas, hechas de pelo áspero.
And this shall be: In that day, the prophets will be confounded, each one by his own vision, when he will prophesy. Neither will they be covered with a garment of sackcloth in order to deceive.
5 Dirán entonces: “No soy profeta, soy un granjero. He labrado la tierra desde que era pequeño”.
But he will say, “I am not a prophet; I am a man of agriculture. For Adam has been my example from my youth.”
6 Y si alguien le pregunta: “¿Cuál es el motivo de esas heridas en tu espalda?” él responderá: “Fui herido en la casa de un amigo”.
And they will say to him, “What are these wounds in the middle of your hands?” And he will say, “I was wounded with these in the house of those who love me.”
7 ¡Levántate, espada mía! ¡Ataca a mi pastor, al hombre que ha estado junto a mi! declara el Señor. Golpea al pastor y las ovejas serán dispersas, y yo levantaré mi mano contra los corderos.
Awake, O spear, against my shepherd and against the man that clings to me, says the Lord of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn my hand to the little ones.
8 Dos tercios de los habitantes de la tierra serán destruidas, y solo un tercio quedará, dice el Señor.
And there will be in all the earth, says the Lord, two parts in it will be scattered and will pass away, and the third part will be left behind.
9 Yo pondré este tercio en el fuego, y lo refinaré como la plata, los probaré como se prueba al oro. Ellos clamarán por mi ayuda, y yo les responderé. Diré: “Este es mi pueblo”, y ellos dirán: “El Señor es mi Dios”.
And I will lead the third part through fire, and I will burn them just as silver is burned, and I will test them just as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will heed them. I will say, “You are my people.” And they will say, “The Lord is my God.”
