Zakharia 13

1 “Sejak hari itu, pengampunan akan dicurahkan seperti mata air yang terus mengalir untuk membersihkan keturunan Daud dan penduduk Yerusalem dari dosa dan kenajisan mereka.”

Bagian: TUHAN akan menghentikan nubuatan nabi-nabi palsu

2 TUHAN Panglima Semesta berkata, “Pada hari itu, Aku akan melenyapkan penyembahan berhala di seluruh negeri, bahkan berhala-berhala itu akan dilupakan. Aku juga akan melenyapkan setan-setan yang memperalat nabi-nabi palsu. 3 Apabila nabi palsu muncul lagi dan bernubuat, orangtua kandungnya akan memberi peringatan, ‘Kamu berdusta dalam nama TUHAN! Awas, kamu bisa dihukum mati.’ Bahkan jika dia masih terus bernubuat, orangtuanya sendiri akan menikamnya sampai mati. 4 “Pada waktu itu, tidak akan ada orang yang mengaku-ngaku mendapatkan penglihatan, dan tidak ada lagi yang memakai jubah nabi. 5 Sebaliknya, mereka akan berkata, ‘Saya bukan nabi. Saya petani sejak masih kecil.’ 6 Dan apabila ada orang bertanya, ‘Mengapa di dadamu ada luka-luka bekas goresan?’ dia akan menjawab, ‘Saya terluka tidak sengaja saat berada di rumah teman saya.’”

Bagian: Gembala yang diutus TUHAN akan dibunuh

7 TUHAN Panglima Semesta berkata,
“Gembala yang Aku utus, yaitu dia yang paling dekat dengan-Ku,
akan diserang sampai mati.
Lalu domba-dombanya akan tercerai-berai,
bahkan anak-anak dombanya tidak akan Aku lindungi. 8 Sebagian besar penduduk negeri Yehuda akan disingkirkan dan binasa,
tetapi sebagian kecil dibiarkan hidup. 9 Orang-orang yang masih hidup itu akan Aku murnikan melalui penderitaan
sebagaimana emas dan perak dimurnikan dengan api.
Mereka akan datang kepada-Ku dengan berkata, ‘Engkaulah Allah kami!’
Dan Aku pun akan menyambut, ‘Benar, kalianlah umat-Ku.’”

1 “In that day there will be a fountain opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. 2 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land. 3 It will happen that when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in Yahweh’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies. 4 It will happen in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they won’t wear a hairy mantle to deceive, 5 but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’ 6 One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’ 7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies.
“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones. 8 It shall happen that in all the land,” says Yahweh,
“two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it. 9 I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”
