撒迦利亞書 11
1 黎巴嫩哪，開開你的門， 任火燒滅你的香柏樹。
Open your doors, Lebanon, that fire may devour your cedars!
2 松樹啊，應當哀號； 因為香柏樹傾倒，佳美的樹毀壞。 巴珊的橡樹啊，應當哀號， 因為茂盛的樹林已經倒了。
Lament, cypress trees, for the cedar trees have fallen! What was majestic has been devastated! Lament, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has gone down.
3 聽啊，有牧人哀號的聲音， 因他們榮華的草場毀壞了。 有少壯獅子咆哮的聲音， 因約旦河旁的叢林荒廢了。
The shepherds howl, for their glory has been destroyed! The voice of the young lions' roar, for the pride of the Jordan River has been devastated!
4 耶和華－我的上帝如此說：「你－撒迦利亞要牧養這將宰的群羊。
This is what Yahweh my God says, “Like a shepherd, watch over the flock set aside for slaughter!
5 買他們的宰了他們，以自己為無罪；賣他們的說：『耶和華是應當稱頌的，因我成為富足。』牧養他們的並不憐恤他們。
(The ones who buy them slaughter them and are not punished, and the ones who sell them say, 'Blessed be Yahweh! I have become rich!' for the shepherds working for the flocks' owners have no pity on them.)
6 耶和華說：『我不再憐恤這地的居民，必將這民交給各人的鄰舍和他們王的手中。他們必毀滅這地，我也不救這民脫離他們的手。』」
For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land!—this is Yahweh's declaration. See! I myself am about to turn over every person into the hand of his neighbor and into the hand of his king, and they will destroy the land and none of them will I deliver them from their hand.”
7 於是，我牧養這將宰的群羊，就是群中最困苦的羊。我拿着兩根杖，一根我稱為「榮美」，一根我稱為「聯索」。這樣，我牧養了群羊。
So I became the shepherd of the flock marked for slaughter, for those who dealt in sheep. I took two staffs; one staff I called “Favor” and the other I called “Unity.” In this way I shepherded the flock.
8 一月之內，我除滅三個牧人，因為我的心厭煩他們；他們的心也憎嫌我。
In one month I destroyed the three shepherds. I became impatient with them, and they also hated me.
9 我就說：「我不牧養你們。要死的，由他死；要喪亡的，由他喪亡；餘剩的，由他們彼此相食。」
Then I said to the owners, “I will not work as a shepherd for you any longer. The sheep that are dying—let them die; the sheep that are being destroyed—let them be destroyed. Let the sheep that remain each eat the flesh of its neighbor.”
10 我折斷那稱為「榮美」的杖，表明我廢棄與萬民所立的約。
So I took my staff “Favor” and broke it to break the covenant that I had made with all of my tribes.
11 當日就廢棄了。這樣，那些仰望我的困苦羊就知道所說的是耶和華的話。
On that day the covenant was broken, and those who dealt in sheep and who were watching me knew that Yahweh had spoken.
12 我對他們說：「你們若以為美，就給我工價。不然，就罷了！」於是他們給了三十塊錢作為我的工價。
I said to them, “If it seems good to you, pay me my wages. But if not, do not do it.” So they weighed out my wages—thirty pieces of silver.
13 耶和華吩咐我說：「要把眾人所估定美好的價值丟給窯戶。」我便將這三十塊錢，在耶和華的殿中丟給窯戶了。
Then Yahweh said to me, “Deposit the silver in the treasury, the excellent price at which they valued you!” So I took the thirty pieces of silver and deposited them in the treasury in the house of Yahweh.
14 我又折斷稱為「聯索」的那根杖，表明我廢棄猶大與以色列弟兄的情誼。
Then I broke my second staff, “Unity,” to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 耶和華又吩咐我說：「你再取愚昧牧人所用的器具，
Yahweh said to me, “Again, take the equipment of a foolish shepherd for yourself,
16 因我要在這地興起一個牧人。他不看顧喪亡的，不尋找分散的，不醫治受傷的，也不牧養強壯的；卻要吃肥羊的肉，撕裂牠的蹄子。
for see, I am about to set in place a shepherd in the land. He will not care for the perishing sheep. He will not seek out the sheep gone missing, nor heal the crippled sheep. He will not feed the sheep that are healthy, but will eat the flesh of the fattened sheep and will tear off their hooves.
17 無用的牧人丟棄羊群有禍了！ 刀必臨到他的膀臂和右眼上。 他的膀臂必全然枯乾； 他的右眼也必昏暗失明。」
Woe to the worthless shepherd who forsakes the flock! May the sword come against his arm and his right eye! May his arm wither away and may his right eye become blind!”
