Zechariah 13

New King James Version

Idolatry Cut Off

13 “In that ^(A)day ^(B)a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for ^(C)uncleanness.

²“It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will ^(D)cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause ^(E)the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land. ³It shall come to pass that if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who begot him will say to him, ‘You shall ^(F)not live, because you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who begot him ^(G)shall thrust him through when he prophesies.

⁴“And it shall be in that day that ^(H)every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not wear ^(I)a robe of coarse hair to deceive. ⁵^(J)But he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for a man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.’ ⁶And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your ^[a]arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’

The Shepherd Savior

⁷“Awake, O sword, against ^(K)My Shepherd,
Against the Man ^(L)who is My Companion,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
^(M)“Strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered;
Then I will turn My hand against ^(N)the little ones.
⁸And it shall come to pass in all the land,”
Says the Lord,
“That ^(O)two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
^(P)But one-third shall be left in it:
⁹I will bring the one-third ^(Q)through the fire,
Will ^(R)refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
^(S)They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
^(T)I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

偶像和假先知必被滅絕

13 “到那日，必有一個泉源，為大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民開放，洗除他們的罪惡和不潔。

²“到那日（這是萬軍之耶和華的宣告），我必從這地除掉偶像的名號，它們不再被人記念；我也必從這地除去假先知和污穢的靈。 ³如果有人再說預言，他的親生父母必對他說：‘你不該活著，因為你奉耶和華的名說謊。’他說預言的時候，他的親生父母必把他刺死。

⁴“到那日，假先知說預言的時候，每一個都必因自己所論的異象而羞愧；他們必不再穿獸毛衣服欺騙人。 ⁵那時他必說：‘我不是先知，只是耕地的人；因為我自幼以來，就被賣為奴。’ ⁶如果有人問他：‘怎麼在你胸口上（“胸口上”原文作“兩手之間”）有這些傷痕呢？’他就必回答：‘這些是在愛我的人家裡所受的傷。’

擊打牧人的預言

⁷“刀劍哪，醒來吧！攻擊我的牧人，我的同伴，

（這是萬軍之耶和華的宣告。）

要擊打牧人，羊群就分散；

我也要轉過手來，攻擊小羊。

⁸全地的人必有三分之二被除滅，

只有三分之一存留下來。

（這是耶和華的宣告。）

⁹我必使這三分之一經火試煉。

我要煉淨他們，像煉淨銀子一樣；

我要試煉他們，像試煉金子一樣。

他們必呼求我的名，我必應允他們。

我要說：‘他們是我的子民。’

他們也要說：‘耶和華是我們的　神。’”
