< 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.
“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the people of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
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.
And on that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will erase the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will also remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from 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.
And if anyone still prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You shall not remain alive, because you have spoken falsely in the name of the LORD.’ When he prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will pierce him through.
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.
And on that day every prophet who prophesies will be ashamed of his vision, and he will not put on a hairy cloak in order 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.’
He will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I work the land, for I was purchased as a servant in 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.’
If someone asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your chest?’ he will answer, ‘These are the wounds I received 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, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the man who is My Companion, declares the LORD of Hosts. 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.
And in all the land, declares the LORD, two-thirds will be cut off and perish, but a 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.’”
This third I will bring through the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”
