Zacarías, 13

1. Aquel día habrá una fuente abierta para la casa de David y para los habitantes de Jerusalén, para lavar el pecado y la impureza.

1. 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. Aquel día - oráculo de Yahveh Sebaot - extirparé yo de esta tierra los nombres de los ídolos y no se volverá a mentarlos; igualmente a los profetas y el espíritu de impureza los quitaré de esta tierra.

2. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, [that] I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

3. Y, si todavía alguien se pone a profetizar, le dirán su padre y su madre que le engendraron: «¡No has de vivir tú, que dices mentiras en nombre de Yahveh!» Y su padre y su madre que le engendraron le traspasarán mientras esté profetizando.

3. And it shall come to pass, [that] when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

4. Aquel día se avergonzarán los profetas, cada cual de su visión, cuando profeticen, y no se vestirán el manto de pelo con ánimos de mentir,

4. And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:

5. sino que dirán cada uno: «¡Yo no soy profeta; soy un campesino, pues la tierra es mi ocupación desde mi juventud!»

5. But he shall say, I [am] no prophet, I [am] an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

6. Y si alguien le dice: «¿Y esas heridas que hay entre tus manos?», responderá: «Las he recibido en casa de mis amigos.»

6. And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my friends.

7. ¡Despierta, espada, contra mi pastor, y contra el hombre de mi compañía!, oráculo de Yahveh Sebaot. ¡Hiere al pastor, que se dispersen las ovejas, y yo tornaré mi mano contra los pequeños!

7. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

8. Y sucederá en toda esta tierra - oráculo de Yahveh - que dos tercios serán en ella exterminados (perecerán) y el otro tercio quedará en ella.

8. And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left therein.

9. Yo meteré en el fuego este tercio: los purgaré como se purga la plata y los probaré como se prueba el oro. Invocará él mi nombre y yo le responderé; diré: «¡El es mi pueblo!» y él dirá: «¡Yahveh es mi Dios!»

9. And I will bring the third part through 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, The LORD [is] my God.
