EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOSCATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Aquel día, habrá una fuente abierta para la casa de David y para los habitantes de Jerusalén, a fin de lavar el pecado y la impureza.1 In that day, there will be a fountain open to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for the washing of the transgressor and of the defiled woman.
2 Aquel día –oráculo del Señor de los ejércitos– yo extirparé del país el nombre de los ídolos y no se los volverá a mencionar; de la misma manera, expulsaré de esta tierra a los profetas y el espíritu de impureza.2 And this shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts: I will disperse the names of the idols from the earth, and they will not be remembered any longer. And I will take away the false prophets and the unclean spirit from the earth.
3 Y sucederá que si alguien profetiza todavía, su padre y su madre que lo engendraron le dirán: «¡Tú no vivirás, porque has dicho una mentira en nombre del Señor!». Y su padre y su madre, que lo engendraron, lo traspasarán mientras profetiza.3 And this shall be: when any devotee will continue to prophesy, his father and his mother, who conceived him, will say to him, “You shall not live, because you have been speaking a lie in the name of the Lord.” And his father and his mother, his own parents, will pierce him, when he will prophesy.
4 Aquel día, los profetas se avergonzarán cada uno de su visión, mientras estén profetizando, y no se pondrán más el manto de pelos para engañar.4 And this shall be: In that day, the prophets will be confounded, each one by his own vision, when he will prophesy. Neither will they be covered with a garment of sackcloth in order to deceive.
5 Cada uno dirá: «Yo no soy profeta, yo soy un hombre que cultiva la tierra, porque la tierra es mi ocupación desde mi juventud».5 But he will say, “I am not a prophet; I am a man of agriculture. For Adam has been my example from my youth.”
6 Y si se le pregunta: «¿Qué son esas heridas en tu pecho?», él responderá: «Las he recibido en la casa de mis amigos».6 And they will say to him, “What are these wounds in the middle of your hands?” And he will say, “I was wounded with these in the house of those who love me.”
7 ¡Despierta, espada, contra mi pastor y contra el hombre que me acompaña! –oráculo del Señor de los ejércitos–. Hiere al pastor y que se dispersen las ovejas, y yo volveré mi mano contra los pequeños.7 Awake, O spear, against my shepherd and against the man that clings to me, says the Lord of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn my hand to the little ones.
8 Entonces, en todo el país –oráculo del Señor– dos tercios serán exterminados, perecerán y sólo un tercio quedará en él.8 And there will be in all the earth, says the Lord, two parts in it will be scattered and will pass away, and the third part will be left behind.
9 Yo haré pasar ese tercio por el fuego, y los purificaré como se purifica la plata, los probaré como se prueba el oro. El invocará mi Nombre, y yo lo escucharé; yo diré: «¡Este es mi Pueblo!» y él dirá: «¡El Señor es mi Dios!».9 And I will lead the third part through fire, and I will burn them just as silver is burned, and I will test them just as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will heed them. I will say, “You are my people.” And they will say, “The Lord is my God.”
