Zacarias 13

1 I taua rā ka tuwhera he puna mō te whare o Rāwiri, mō ngā tāngata anō o Hiruhārama, hei mea mō te hara mō te poke.

Ka Hātapea ngā Whakapakoko

2 "I taua rā," e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano, "ka hātepea atu e ahau ngā ingoa o ngā whakapakoko i runga i te whenua; e kore anō e maharatia ā muri ake nei; ka kore anō i ahau ngā poropiti, me te wairua poke, i runga i te whenua. 3 Nā, tēnei ake, ki te poropiti tētahi ā muri ake nei, ka mea tōna pāpā ki a ia, rāua ko tōna whaea i whānau ai ia, ‘E kore koe e ora; kua kōrero teka hoki koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowā’; nā, ka werohia ia e tōna pāpā rāua ko tōna whaea i whānau ai ia, ina poropiti ia.

4 "I taua rā ka whakamā ngā poropiti, tēnei, tēnei, ki tāna kite, i te mea ka poropiti ia; e kore anō e kākahuria e rātou he kākahu huruhuru hei mea tinihanga. 5 Engari ka mea ia, ‘Ehara ahau i te poropiti, he paruauru ahau, he pononga hoki ahau nō tōku taitamarikitanga ake.’ 6 Ā, ka mea tētahi ki a ia, ‘He aha ēnei patunga i ōu ringa?’ ā, ka mea ia, ‘Ko ōku patunga i roto i te whare o ōku hoa aroha.’ "

Ka Patua te Hēpara, ka Marara te Kāhui

7 "E ara, e te hoari, ki tāku hēpara,

ki te tangata i takahoatia ki ahau,"

e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano.

"Patua te hēpara, kia marara hoki ngā hipi;

ka tahuri atu anō tōku ringa ki ngā mea ririki.

8 Nā, i te whenua katoa," e ai tā Ihowā,

"e rua ngā wāhi o reira ka hātepea atu, ka mate;

ka toe ia te tuatoru o ngā wāhi ki reira.

9 Ka kawea anō e ahau te tuatoru o ngā wāhi i roto i te ahi,

ka tahia hoki te para,

ka pērātia me te hiriwa e tahia ana.

Ka whakamātautauria anō rātou e ahau,

ka pērātia me te kōura.

Ka karanga rātou ki tōku ingoa,

ā, ka whakarongo ahau ki a rātou.

Ka mea ahau, ‘He iwi rātou nāku,’

ā, ka mea rātou, ‘Ko Ihowā tōku Atua.’ "

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.
