1Til den tid lader jeg en kilde springe frem, som skal rense Davids slægt og Jerusalems indbyggere fra synd og ugudelighed.2Jeg vil udrydde alle afguder af landet, så deres navne ikke længere skal huskes. Også spåmænd og falske profeter fjerner jeg fra landet.3Hvis nogen derefter begynder at profetere falsk, vil hans egen familie anklage ham: ‚Du profeterer jo falsk i Herrens navn! Derfor skal du dø!’ Derefter vil hans egen familie dræbe ham.4De falske profeter tør derfor ikke længere profetere åbenlyst eller iklæde sig den særlige profetdragt.5Tværtimod vil de sige: ‚Jeg er ikke nogen profet, bare en almindelig bonde. Jeg har dyrket jorden hele mit liv.’6Og hvis nogen spørger dem: ‚Hvordan har du fået de ar på armene?’[1] skal han svare: ‚Årh, dem har jeg fået i mine elskeres hus.’ ”[2] (1.Kong 18,28)
En rest bliver renset som gennem ild
7„Rejs dig, du sværd, og angrib min hyrde, slå ham, som står mig nær,” siger Herren, den Almægtige. „Slå hyrden ned, og fårene vil blive spredt. Men jeg vil hjælpe de ydmyge.[3]8To tredjedele af landets befolkning skal omkomme, men en tredjedel skal overleve.9Den tredjedel vil jeg føre gennem ild, så de renses, som man renser sølv og forædler guld. Da skal de råbe til mig om hjælp, og jeg vil høre deres råb og sige: ‚De er mit folk!’ hvortil de skal svare: ‚Herren er vores Gud!’ ”
Zakarias 13
English Standard Version
fra Crossway1“On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness. (Ez 36,25; Zak 12,3)
Idolatry Cut Off
2“And on that day, declares the Lord of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, so that they shall be remembered no more. And also I will remove from the land the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness. (2.Mos 23,13; Jer 10,11; Ez 30,13; Mika 5,13; Zak 10,2; Zak 13,1)3And if anyone again prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who bore him shall pierce him through when he prophesies. (5.Mos 13,1)4“On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive, (Mika 3,7)5but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a worker of the soil, for a man sold me in my youth.’[1] (Amos 7,14)6And if one asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your back?’[2] he will say, ‘The wounds I received in the house of my friends.’
The Shepherd Struck
7“Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who stands next to me,” declares the Lord of hosts. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; I will turn my hand against the little ones. (Es 40,11; Matt 26,31; Mark 14,27; Heb 13,20)8In the whole land, declares the Lord, two thirds shall be cut off and perish, and one third shall be left alive. (Zak 14,2)9And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’” (Salm 50,15; Salm 66,10; Salm 66,12; Es 48,10; Ez 11,20; Zak 8,8; Zak 10,6; Mal 3,2; 1.Pet 1,7)
