1Nezuva iro imba yaDhavhidhi. navagere Jerusaremu vachadziurirwa tsime, rokusuka zvivi netsvina.
1“In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
2Zvino nezuva iro, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo, Ndichabvisa mazita ezvifananidzo panyika, arege kuzorangarirwa; ndichabudisawo vaporofita nemweya yetsvina panyika.
2It 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.
3Zvino kana ani naani achiporofita, baba vake namai vake, vakamubereka, vachati kwaari, Haungararami, nekuti unoreva nhema nezita raJesu baba vake namai vake, vakamubereka, vachabvovora kana achiporofita.
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 name of Yahweh;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.
4Zvino nezuva iro vaporofita vachanyadziswa mumwe nomumwe nechaanoona, kana achiporofita, havangapfeki nguvo yemvere vachiti tinonyengera vanhu;
4It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:
5asi achati, Handizi muporofita, ndiri murimi wevhu; nekuti ndakaitwa muranda kubva pauduku hwangu.
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.’
6Kana mumwe akati kwaari, Ko mavanga awa ari pakati pezvanza zvako ndeeiko? Ipapo achapindura, achiti, Ndipo pandakakuvadzwa mumba meshamwari dzangu.
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.’
7Muka, munondo, urwe nomufudzi wangu, uye munhu shamwari yangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo, rova mufudzi, makwai agoparadzirwa; ini ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu kuvaduku.
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.
8Zvino munyika yose ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha migove miviri ichaparadzwa ndokufa; asi wechitatu acharegwamo.
8It 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.
9Mugove wechitatu ndichaupinza mumoto, ndichavanatsa sezvinonatswa sirivha, ndichavaidza sezvinoidzwa ndarama. Vachadana zita rangu, ini ndichavanzwa; ini ndichati, Ndivo vanhu vangu, ivo vachati, Jehovha ndiMwari wangu.
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, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”
