जकरिया 13

1 तर त्यससमय, पानीको एउटा कुलो दाऊदको घरना तथा यरूशलेमको बासिन्दाहरूको निम्ति मूल फुटेर आउँनेछ। त्यो मूलले तिनीहरूको पापलाई धोएर शुद्ध गरिदिनेछ।

2 सर्वशक्तिमान परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “त्यस समय पृथ्वीबाट सबै मूर्तिहरू हटाईदिनेछु। मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूको नामहरू पनि याद राख्ने छैनन्, म झूटा अगमवक्ता अनि अशुद्ध आत्मालाई पृथ्वीबाट हटाई दिनेछु।

3 यदि कुनै मानिसले अगमवाणी गरे त्यसले दण्ड पाउँनेछ। यहाँ सम्म कि त्यसको आफ्नो आमा-बाबुले पनि भन्नेछन्, ‘तैंले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा झूटो बोलिस्। यसकारण तँ मर्नु पर्छ।’ त्यसको आमा-बाबुले अगमवाणी गरेकोमा त्यसलाई छुराले रोपिदिनेछन्।

4 त्यस समाय अगमवक्ता आफ्नो अगमवाणी र दर्शनको निम्मति लज्जित हुनेछ। मानिसहरूलाई झूटो अगमवाणी भनेर धोका दिनलाई तिनीहरूले त्यस प्रकारको बाकलो पोषाक लगाउँने छैनन्।

5 तिनीहरूले भन्नेछन्, ‘म अगमवक्ता हैन। म एउटा किसान हुँ। किनभने एउटा मानिसले मलाई मेरो बाल्य अवस्थामा नै दासलाई जस्तै बेच्यो।’

6 अरू मानिसहरूले भन्नेछन्, ‘तिम्रो हातको यो चोट केहो?’ उसले भन्नेछ, ‘यो मेरो साथीको घरमा लागेको चोट हो।”‘

7 सर्वशक्तिमान परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “तरवार मेरो गोठालालाई हिर्काऊ, मेरो साथीलाई हिर्काऊ। मेरो गोठाला अनि भेंडालाई प्रहार गर! भेंडा भागेर जानेछ र साना-सानाहरूलाई म दण्ड दिनेछु।

8 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “देशका दुई तिहाईं मानिसहरूलाई चोट लगाईनें छ अनि मारिने छ। तर एक तिहाईं बाँच्नेछन्।

9 त्यपछि म ती बाँचेकालाई जाँच्नेछु। म तिनीहरूलाई अत्यन्तै कष्ट दिनेछु। त्यो कष्ट आगो जस्तै हुनेछ जुन आगोले चाँदीको शुद्धता जाँच्छ। म तिनीहरूको जाँच त्यसरी नै गर्नेछु जसरी मानिसहरूले सुनको शुद्धता जाँच गर्छन्। तब तिनीहरूले मलाई सहायताको निम्ति बोलाउँनेछन् अनि म सहायता गर्नेछु। म भन्नेछु, ‘तिमीहरू मेरो प्रजाहरू हौ।’ अनि उनीहरूले भन्नेछन् परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ।”‘

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

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 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 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 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.
