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.
1 Todien Dāvida namam un Jeruzālemes iemītniekiem atvērsies avots – lai šķīstītos no grēkiem un aptraipījuma.
Elkdievība un viltus pravieši tiks iznīcināti
2 “Todien būs tā,” saka Pulku Kungs, “es iznīdēšu šajā zemē elku dievu vārdus, ka tos vairs nepieminēs, un arī to praviešus ne, un es aizvākšu no šīs zemes nešķīstības garu! 3 Ja tad vēl kāds pravietos, tad lai viņa tēvs un māte saka: tev nepalikt dzīvam, jo Kunga vārdā tu runā melus! – ja tas pravieto, lai to nodur paša tēvs un māte, kas to dzemdējuši! 4 Todien pravieši paliks kaunā ar saviem redzējumiem – kas pravieto, tas vairs nevilks mugurā spalvainas drānas, lai krāptos! 5 Tad taisnosies: es neesmu pravietis! Es, vīrs, kas strādā zemi, jau kopš jaunības es te vienam cilvēkam piederu! 6 Un, ja kāds tam teiks: kas tās tev par rētām uz muguras? – tas sacīs: tās rētas es dabūju mājās no saviem draugiem!
Gans tiks nogalināts un avis izklīdīs
7 Zoben, mosties pret manu ganu,
pret to vīru, kas man ir tuvs! –
saka Pulku Kungs.
Sit ganu, lai izklīst avis!
Es vērsīšu savu roku
arī pret sīkajiem blēžiem!
8 Visā zemē,
saka Kungs,
divas trešdaļas iznīdēs, izkaus,
tik viena trešdaļa paliks pāri!
9 Šo trešdaļu es caur uguni vedīšu,
šķīstīšu, kā sudrabu šķīsta,
pārbaudīšu viņus, kā zeltu pārbauda, –
tad tie piesauks manu vārdu –
un es tiem atbildēšu,
es teikšu: jūs esat mana tauta, –
un tie teiks: Kungs ir mūsu Dievs!”
