Zacarías 13
Bible in Basic English
1In 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.
2And 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.
3And 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.
4And 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:
5But 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.
6And 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.
7Awake! 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.
8And 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.
9And 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.
Reina-Valera 1909
1EN aquel tiempo habrá manantial abierto para la casa de David y para los moradores de Jerusalem, para el pecado y la inmundicia.
2Y será en aquel día, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, que talaré de la tierra los nombres de las imágenes, y nunca más vendrán en memoria: y también haré talar de la tierra los profetas, y espíritu de inmundicia.
3Y será que cuando alguno más profetizare, diránle su padre y su madre que lo engendraron: No vivirás, porque has hablado mentira en el nombre de Jehová: y su padre y su madre que lo engendraron, le alancearán cuando profetizare.
4Y será en aquel tiempo, que todos los profetas se avergonzarán de su visión cuando profetizaren; ni nunca más se vestirán de manto velloso para mentir.
5Y dirá: No soy profeta; labrador soy de la tierra: porque esto aprendí del hombre desde mi juventud.
6Y le preguntarán: ¿Qué heridas son éstas en tus manos? Y él responderá: Con ellas fuí herido en casa de mis amigos.
7Levántate, oh espada, sobre el pastor, y sobre el hombre compañero mío, dice Jehová de los ejércitos. Hiere al pastor, y se derramarán las ovejas: mas tornaré mi mano sobre los chiquitos.
8Y acontecerá en toda la tierra, dice Jehová, que las dos partes serán taladas en ella, y se perderán; mas la tercera quedará en ella.
9Y meteré en el fuego la tercera parte, y los fundiré como se funde la plata, y probarélos como se prueba el oro. El invocará mi nombre, y yo le oiré, y diré: Pueblo mío; y él dirá: Jehová es mi Dios.
King James Version
1In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2And 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.
3And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat 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 begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
4And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
5But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
8And 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.
9And 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 hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
World English Bible
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.
2It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD 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.
3It 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 the LORD’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.
4It 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,
5but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’
6One 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 the LORD of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8It shall happen that in all the land,” says the LORD, “two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
9I 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, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
