1 Naquele dia jorrará uma fonte para a casa de Deus e para os habitantes de Jerusalém, que apagará os seus pecados e suas impurezas.
2 Naquele dia - oráculo do Senhor, - exterminarei da terra até os nomes dos ídolos: não se falará mais deles; expulsarei os falsos profetas e todo espírito impuro.
3 Se alguém intentar ainda dar um oráculo, seu pai e sua mãe que o geraram repreendê-lo-ão: Vais morrer, porque dizes mentiras em nome do Senhor. E quando ele proferir os seus oráculos, eles mesmos, seu pai e sua mãe que o geraram, o transpassarão.
4 Naquele dia os profetas terão vergonha de suas visões proféticas, e não mais se cobrirão com o manto de peles para mentir.
5 Cada um dirá: Não sou profeta, mas lavrador, e possuo terras desde a minha juventude.
6 Se alguém lhe disser: Que ferimentos são esses em tuas mãos? São ferimentos que recebi na casa de meus amigos, responderá ele.
7 Espada, levanta-te contra o meu pastor, {contra o meu companheiro - oráculo do Senhor dos exércitos}. Fere o pastor, que as ovelhas sejam dispersas: Voltarei a minha mão até mesmo contra os pequenos.
8 Em toda a terra - oráculo do Senhor - dois terços dos habitantes serão exterminados e um terço subsistirá.
9 Mas farei passar este terço pelo fogo; purificá-lo-ei como se purifica a prata, prová-lo-ei como se prova o ouro. Então ele invocará o meu nome, eu o ouvirei, e direi: Este é o meu povo; e ele responderá: O Senhor é o meu Deus.
1 In that day there will be a fountain open to the family of David and to the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for that which is unclean.
2 And it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that I will have the names of the images cut off out of the land, and there will be no more memory of them: and I will send all the prophets and the unclean spirit away from the land.
3 And if anyone goes on acting as a prophet, then his father and his mother who gave him life will say to him, You may not go on living, for you are saying what is false in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother will put a sword through him when he does so.
4 And it will come about in that day that the prophets will be shamed, every man on account of his vision, when he is talking as a prophet; and they will not put on a robe of hair for purposes of deceit:
5 But he will say, I am no prophet, but a worker on the land; for I have been an owner of land from the time when I was young.
6 And if anyone says to him, What are these wounds between your hands? then he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.
8 And it will come about that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an end; but the third will be still living there.
9 And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
