The Fountain and the End of Idolatry
| 1 Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσται πᾶς τόπος διανοιγόμενος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Δαυίδ. 2 καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει κύριος ἐξολεθρεύσω τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν εἰδώλων ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται αὐτῶν μνεία· καὶ τοὺς ψευδοπροφήτας καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον ἐξαρῶ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. 3 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν προφητεύσῃ ἄνθρωπος ἔτι, καὶ ἐρεῖ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ οἱ γεννήσαντες αὐτόν, οὐ ζήσῃ, ὅτι ψευδῆ ἐλάλησας ἐπ' ὀνόματι κυρίου· καὶ συμποδιοῦσιν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ οἱ γεννήσαντες αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ προφητεύειν αὐτόν. | 13:1 In that day, every place (pas topos) shall be opened for the house of David. 2 And it shall be in that day," says the Lord, "I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from the land, and there shall no longer be a memory of them; and I will take away the false prophets and the unclean spirit from the land. 3 And it shall be, if a man should still prophesy, his father and his mother who begot him shall say to him, 'You shall not live, because you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord'; and his father and his mother who begot him shall bind his feet (sympodiousin) while he is prophesying." |
The Shame of the False Prophets
| 4 Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καταισχυνθήσονται οἱ προφῆται, ἕκαστος ἐκ τῆς ὁράσεως αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ προφητεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐνδύσονται δέρριν τριχίνην ἀνθ' ὧν ἐψεύσαντο. 5 καὶ ἐρεῖ, οὔκ εἰμι προφήτης ἐγώ, διότι ἄνθρωπος ἐργαζόμενος τὴν γῆν ἐγώ εἰμι, ὅτι ἄνθρωπος ἐγέννησέν με ἐκ νεότητός μου. 6 καὶ ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτόν, τί αἱ πληγαὶ αὗται ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν χειρῶν σου; καὶ ἐρεῖ, ἃς ἐπλήγην ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τῷ ἀγαπητῷ μου. | 4 "And it shall be in that day, the prophets shall be put to shame, each for his vision while he is prophesying; and they shall put on a garment of hair (derrin trichinēn) because they lied. 5 And he will say, 'I am not a prophet, for I am a man who works the land, because a man begot me [for this] from my youth.' 6 And I will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your hands?' And he will say, 'Those with which I was struck in the house of my beloved.'" |
The Striking of the Shepherd and the Refining Fire
| 7 Ῥομφαία, ἐξεγέρθητι ἐπὶ τοὺς ποιμένας μου καὶ ἐπ' ἄνδρα πολίτην μου, λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ· πατάξατε τοὺς ποιμένας καὶ ἐκσπάσατε τὰ πρόβατα, καὶ ἐπάξω τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τοὺς ποιμένας. 8 καὶ ἔσται ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, λέγει κύριος, τὰ δύο μέρη ἐξολεθρευθήσεται καὶ ἐκλείψει, τὸ δὲ τρίτον ὑπολειφθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ· 9 καὶ διάξω τὸ τρίτον διὰ πυρὸς καὶ πυρώσω αὐτούς, ὡς πυροῦται τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ δοκιμῶ αὐτούς, ὡς δοκιμάζεται τὸ χρυσίον· αὐτὸς ἐπικαλέσεται τὸ ὄνομά μου, κἀγὼ ἐπακούσομαι αὐτῷ καὶ ἐρῶ, λαός μου οὗτός ἐστιν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐρεῖ κύριος ὁ θεός μου. | 7 "O sword (Rhomphaia), awake against My shepherds and against the man who is My fellow-citizen (politen mou)," says the Lord Almighty (pantokratōr). "Strike the shepherds and tear out the sheep (ekspasate ta probata), and I will bring My hand against the shepherds. 8 And it shall be in all the land," says the Lord, "two parts shall be utterly destroyed and shall fail, but the third shall be left in it. 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined, and I will test (dokimō) them as gold is tested. He shall call upon My name, and I will answer him; and I will say, 'This is My people,' and he will say, 'The Lord is my God.'" |
