1 Naquele dia, haverá uma fonte aberta para a casa de Davi e para os habitantes de Jerusalém, para remover o pecado e a impureza. 2 Acontecerá, naquele dia, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, que eliminarei da terra os nomes dos ídolos, e deles não haverá mais memória; e também removerei da terra os profetas e o espírito imundo. 3 Quando alguém ainda profetizar, seu pai e sua mãe, que o geraram, lhe dirão: Não viverás, porque tens falado mentiras em nome do Senhor; seu pai e sua mãe, que o geraram, o traspassarão quando profetizar. 4 Naquele dia, se sentirão envergonhados os profetas, cada um da sua visão quando profetiza; nem mais se vestirão de manto de pelos, para enganarem. 5 Cada um, porém, dirá: Não sou profeta, sou lavrador da terra, porque fui comprado desde a minha mocidade. 6 Se alguém lhe disser: Que feridas são essas nas tuas mãos?, responderá ele: São as feridas com que fui ferido na casa dos meus amigos.

7 Desperta, ó espada, contra o meu pastor e contra o homem que é o meu companheiro, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos; fere o pastor, e as ovelhas ficarão dispersas; mas volverei a mão para os pequeninos. 8 Em toda a terra, diz o Senhor, dois terços dela serão eliminados e perecerão; mas a terceira parte restará nela. 9 Farei passar a terceira parte pelo fogo, e a purificarei como se purifica a prata, e a provarei como se prova o ouro; ela invocará o meu nome, e eu a ouvirei; direi: é meu povo, e ela dirá: O Senhor é meu Deus.

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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah; 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 prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive: 5 but he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondman from my youth. 6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds between thine arms? 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 Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones. 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 9 And I will bring the third part into 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, Jehovah is my God.

1 "On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

2 "On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

3 And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, 'You must die, because you have told lies in the LORD's name.' Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.

4 "On that day every prophet will be ashamed of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet's garment of hair in order to deceive.

5 Each will say, 'I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth. "'

6 If someone asks, 'What are these wounds on your body "?' they will answer, 'The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.'

7 "Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!" declares the LORD Almighty. "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

8 In the whole land," declares the LORD, "two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it.

9 This third I will put into 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.'"
