1 På den dagen skal det være en kilde åpen for Davids hus og Jerusalems innbyggere, til renselse fra synd og det urene.

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 På den dagen, sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud, vil jeg utrydde avgudsnavnene fra landet, så de ikke lenger blir husket. Jeg vil også drive ut profetene og den urene ånden fra landet.

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 Og hvis noen fortsatt opptrer som profet, vil hans far og mor, som ga ham livet, si til ham: Du skal ikke få leve, for du taler løgn i Herrens navn. Hans far og mor skal stikke ham ned når han gjør dette.

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 På den dagen vil profetene skamme seg over sine visjoner når de profeterer, og de vil ikke ta på seg en kappe av hår for å bedra noen.

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 Men han vil si: Jeg er ingen profet, bare en jordbruker, for jeg har vært en eier av jord fra jeg var ung.

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 Og hvis noen spør ham: Hva betyr disse sårene på hendene dine? da vil han svare: De fikk jeg i huset til mine venner.

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 Våkn opp, sverd, mot hyrden min, mot mannen som står meg nær, sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud. Slå hyrden, så saueflokken spres, men jeg vil vende hånden mot de små.

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 På den dagen, sier Herren, skal to tredeler av landet bli utryddet og gå til grunne, men den tredje delen skal bli bevart.

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 Jeg vil føre den tredje delen gjennom ild, rense dem som man renser sølv, og prøve dem som man prøver gull. De vil påkalle mitt navn, og jeg vil svare dem. Jeg vil si: De er mitt folk; og de vil si: Herren er min Gud.

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.
