1 I taua ra ka tuwhera he puna mo te whare o Rawiri, mo nga tangata ano o Hiruharama, hei mea mo te hara, mo te poke.

In that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem sin and uncleanness.

2 I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka hatepea atu e ahau nga ingoa o nga whakapakoko i runga i te whenua; e kore ano e maharatia a muri ake nei; ka kore ano i ahau nga poropiti, me te wairua poke, i runga i te whenua.

And in that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will remove from the land the prophets and the unclean spirit.

3 N a, tenei ake, ki te poropiti tetahi a muri ake nei, ka mea tona papa ki a ia, raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai ia, E kore koe e ora; kua korero teka hoki koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa: na ka werohia ia e tona papa raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai i a, ina poropiti ia.

And if anyone again appears as a prophet, then his father and his mother who bore him shall say to him, You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother who bore him shall thrust him through when he prophesies.

4 I taua ra ka whakama nga poropiti, tenei, tenei, ki tana kite, i te mea ka poropiti ia; e kore ano e kakahuria e ratou he kakahu huruhuru hei mea tinihanga.

And in that day the prophets shall each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, nor will he wear a hairy or rough garment to deceive,

5 E ngari ka mea ia, Ehara ahau i te poropiti, he paruauru ahau, he pononga hoki ahau no toku taitamarikitanga ake.

But he will say, I am no prophet. I am a tiller of the ground, for I have been made a bond servant from my youth.

6 A ka mea tetahi ki a ia, He aha enei patunga i ou ringa? a ka mea ia, Ko oku patunga i roto i te whare o oku hoa aroha.

And one shall say to him, What are these wounds on your breast or between your hands? Then he will answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

7 E ara, e te hoari, ki taku hepara, ki te tangata i takahoatia ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano; patua te hepara, kia marara hoki nga hipi; ka tahuri atu ano toku ringa ki nga mea ririki.

Awake, O sword, against My shepherd and against the man who is My associate, says the Lord of hosts; smite the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered, and I will turn back My hand and stretch it out again upon the little ones.

8 N a i te whenua katoa, e ai ta Ihowa, e rua nga wahi o reira ka hatepea atu, ka mate; ka toe ia te tuatoru o nga wahi ki reira.

And in all the land, says the Lord, two-thirds shall be cut off and perish, but one-third shall be left alive.

9 K a kawea ano e ahau te tuatoru o nga wahi i roto i te ahi, ka tahia hoki te para, ka peratia me te hiriwa e tahia ana, ka whakamatautauria ano ratou e ahau, ka peratia me te koura; ka karanga ratou ki toku ingoa, a ka whakarongo ahau ki a ratou: ka mea ahau, He iwi ratou naku; a ka mea ratou, Ko Ihowa toku Atua.

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined and will test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will hear and answer them. I will say, It is My people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
