Zacarias 13

1 "In that day there will be a fountain opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

2 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land. 3 It will happen that when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in Yahweh’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies. 4 It will happen in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they won’t wear a hairy mantle to deceive, 5 but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’ 6 One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’

7 "Awake, sword, against my shepherd,

and against the man who is close to me," says Yahweh of Armies.

"Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;

and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

8 It shall happen that in all the land," says Yahweh,

"two parts in it will be cut off and die;

but the third will be left in it.

9 I will bring the third part into the fire,

and will refine them as silver is refined,

and will test them like gold is tested.

They will call on my name, and I will hear them.

I will say, ‘It is my people;’

and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’"

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.’ "
