< Zechariah 13 >

1 “Ní ọjọ́ náà ìsun kan yóò ṣí sílẹ̀ fún ilé Dafidi àti fún àwọn ará Jerusalẹmu, láti wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti àìmọ́ wọn.
“In that day there will be a fountain opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
2 “Yóò sì ṣe ní ọjọ́ náà ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, ni èmi ó gé orúkọ àwọn òrìṣà kúrò ni ilẹ̀ náà, a kì yóò sì rántí wọn mọ́, àti pẹ̀lú èmi ó mú àwọn wòlíì èké àti àwọn ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ kúrò ni ilẹ̀ náà.
It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.
3 Yóò sì ṣe, nígbà tí ẹnìkan yóò sọtẹ́lẹ̀ síbẹ̀, ni baba rẹ̀ àti ìyá rẹ̀ tí ó bí í yóò wí fún un pé, ‘Ìwọ ki yóò yè, nítorí ìwọ ń sọ ọ̀rọ̀ èké ni orúkọ Olúwa.’ Àti baba rẹ̀ àti ìyá rẹ̀ tí o bí í yóò gun un ni àgúnpa nígbà tí ó bá sọtẹ́lẹ̀.
It will happen that when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in the LORD’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.
4 “Yóò sì ṣe ní ọjọ́ náà, ojú yóò tí àwọn wòlíì èké olúkúlùkù nítorí ìran rẹ̀, nígbà tí òun ba tí sọtẹ́lẹ̀; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì yóò sì wọ aṣọ wòlíì onírun rẹ̀ tí o fi ń tan ní jẹ.
It will happen in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not wear a hairy mantle to deceive,
5 Ṣùgbọ́n òun o wí pé, ‘Èmi kí í ṣe wòlíì, àgbẹ̀ ni èmi; nítorí tí a ti fi mí ṣe ìránṣẹ́ láti ìgbà èwe mi wá.’
but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’
6 Ẹnìkan ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Ọgbẹ́ kín ní wọ̀nyí ni ẹ̀yìn rẹ?’ Òun o sì dáhùn pé, ‘Wọ̀nyí ni ibi tí a ti sá mi ní ilé àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ mi.’
One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’
7 “Dìde, ìwọ idà, sí Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn mi, àti sí ẹni tí í ṣe ẹnìkejì mi,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Kọlu Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, àwọn àgùntàn a sì túká: èmi o sì yí ọwọ́ mi sí àwọn kéékèèké.
“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says the LORD of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 Yóò sì ṣe, ni gbogbo ilẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “a ó gé apá méjì nínú rẹ̀ kúrò yóò sì kú; ṣùgbọ́n apá kẹta yóò kù nínú rẹ̀.
It shall happen that in all the land,” says the LORD, “two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
9 Èmi ó sì mú apá kẹta náà la àárín iná, èmi yóò sì yọ́ wọn bí a ti yọ́ fàdákà, èmi yóò sì dán wọn wò, bi a tí ń dán wúrà wò: wọn yóò sì pé orúkọ mi, èmi yóò sì dá wọn lóhùn: èmi yóò wí pé, ‘Àwọn ènìyàn mi ni,’ àwọn yóò sì wí pé, ‘Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run wa.’”
I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
