1 Sinä päivänä on Daavidin suvulla ja Jerusalemin asukkailla oleva avoin lähde syntiä ja saastaisuutta vastaan.

2 Ja sinä päivänä, sanoo Herra Sebaot, minä hävitän epäjumalain nimet maasta, eikä niitä enää muisteta. Myöskin profeetat ja saastaisuuden hengen minä ajan maasta pois.

4 Sinä päivänä häpeävät profeetat itsekukin näkyään, kun he ennustavat, eivätkä he valhetellakseen pue yllensä karvaista vaippaa.

7 Heräjä, miekka, minun paimentani vastaan ja minun lähintä miestäni vastaan, sanoo Herra Sebaot. Lyö paimenta, ja joutukoot lampaat hajallensa; mutta minä käännän jälleen käteni pienimpiä kohden.

8 Ja näin on käyvä koko maassa, sanoo Herra: kaksi osaa siitä hävitetään ja saa surmansa, mutta kolmas osa siitä jää jäljelle.

1 In that day there is a fountain opened To the house of David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for impurity.

2 And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I cut off the names of the idols from the land, And they are not remembered any more, And also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I cause to pass away from the land.

3 And it hath been, when one prophesieth again, That said unto him have his father and his mother, his parents, `Thou dost not live, For falsehood thou hast spoken in the name of Jehovah,` And pierced him through have his father and his mother, his parents, in his prophesying.

4 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Ashamed are the prophets, each of his vision, in his prophesying, And they put not on a hairy robe to deceive.

5 And [one] hath said, `I am not a prophet, A man, a tiller of ground I am, For ground [is] my possession from my youth.`

6 And [one] hath said unto him, `What [are] these wounds in thy hands?` And he hath said, `Because I was smitten [at] home by my lovers.`

7 Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero -- My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.

8 And it hath come to pass, In all the land, an affirmation of Jehovah, Two parts in it are cut off -- they expire, And the third is left in it.

9 And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It doth call in My name, and I answer it, I have said, `My people it [is],` And it saith, `Jehovah [is] my God!`
