撒迦利亞書 第 13 章

¹那日，必給大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民開一個泉源，洗除罪惡與污穢。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.

²萬軍之耶和華說：那日，我必從地上除滅偶像的名，不再被人記念；也必使這地不再有假先知與污穢的靈。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若再有人說預言，生他的父母必對他說：你不得存活，因為你託耶和華的名說假預言。生他的父母在他說預言的時候，要將他刺透。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那日，凡作先知說預言的必因他所論的異象羞愧，不再穿毛衣哄騙人。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他必說：我不是先知，我是耕地的；我從幼年作人的奴僕。But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

⁶必有人問他說：你兩臂中間是甚麼傷呢？他必回答說：這是我在親友家中所受的傷。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.

⁷萬軍之耶和華說：刀劍哪，應當興起，攻擊我的牧人和我的同伴。擊打牧人，羊就分散；我必反手加在微小者的身上。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耶和華說：這全地的人，三分之二必剪除而死，三分之一仍必存留。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我要使這三分之一經火，熬煉他們，如熬煉銀子；試煉他們，如試煉金子。他們必求告我的名，我必應允他們。我要說：這是我的子民。他們也要說：耶和華是我們的神。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.
