| א בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִהְיֶה מָקוֹר נִפְתָּח, לְבֵית דָּוִיד, וּלְיֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִָם--לְחַטַּאת, וּלְנִדָּה. | 1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for purification and for sprinkling. |
| ב וְהָיָה בַיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, אַכְרִית אֶת-שְׁמוֹת הָעֲצַבִּים מִן-הָאָרֶץ, וְלֹא יִזָּכְרוּ, עוֹד; וְגַם אֶת-הַנְּבִיאִים וְאֶת-רוּחַ הַטֻּמְאָה, אַעֲבִיר מִן-הָאָרֶץ. | 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. |
| ג וְהָיָה, כִּי-יִנָּבֵא אִישׁ עוֹד, וְאָמְרוּ אֵלָיו אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ יֹלְדָיו לֹא תִחְיֶה, כִּי שֶׁקֶר דִּבַּרְתָּ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה; וּדְקָרֻהוּ אָבִיהוּ וְאִמּוֹ יֹלְדָיו, בְּהִנָּבְאוֹ. | 3 And it shall come to pass that, when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begot 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 begot him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. |
| ד וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יֵבֹשׁוּ הַנְּבִיאִים אִישׁ מֵחֶזְיֹנוֹ--בְּהִנָּבְאֹתוֹ; וְלֹא יִלְבְּשׁוּ אַדֶּרֶת שֵׂעָר, לְמַעַן כַּחֵשׁ. | 4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be brought to shame every one through his vision, when he prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive; |
| ה וְאָמַר, לֹא נָבִיא אָנֹכִי: אִישׁ-עֹבֵד אֲדָמָה אָנֹכִי, כִּי אָדָם הִקְנַנִי מִנְּעוּרָי. | 5 but he shall say: 'I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondman from my youth.' |
| ו וְאָמַר אֵלָיו, מָה הַמַּכּוֹת הָאֵלֶּה בֵּין יָדֶיךָ; וְאָמַר, אֲשֶׁר הֻכֵּיתִי בֵּית מְאַהֲבָי. {פ} | 6 And one shall say unto him: 'What are these wounds between thy hands?' Then he shall answer: 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.' {P} |
| ז חֶרֶב, עוּרִי עַל-רֹעִי וְעַל-גֶּבֶר עֲמִיתִי--נְאֻם, יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת; הַךְ אֶת-הָרֹעֶה וּתְפוּצֶיןָ הַצֹּאן, וַהֲשִׁבֹתִי יָדִי עַל-הַצֹּעֲרִים. | 7 Awake, O sword, against My shepherd, and against the man that is near unto Me, saith the LORD of hosts; smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn My hand upon the little ones. |
| ח וְהָיָה בְכָל-הָאָרֶץ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה, פִּי-שְׁנַיִם בָּהּ, יִכָּרְתוּ יִגְוָעוּ; וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית, יִוָּתֶר בָּהּ. | 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. |
| ט וְהֵבֵאתִי אֶת-הַשְּׁלִשִׁית, בָּאֵשׁ, וּצְרַפְתִּים כִּצְרֹף אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף, וּבְחַנְתִּים כִּבְחֹן אֶת-הַזָּהָב; הוּא יִקְרָא בִשְׁמִי, וַאֲנִי אֶעֱנֶה אֹתוֹ--אָמַרְתִּי עַמִּי הוּא, וְהוּא יֹאמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי. {פ} | 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 answer them; I will say: 'It is My people', and they shall say: 'The LORD is my God.' {P} |
