< Zacharias 11 >

1 Open your doors, O Libanus, and let the fire devour your cedars.
Odpri svoja vrata, oh Libanon, da bo ogenj lahko pogoltnil tvoje cedre.
2 Let the pine howl, because the cedar has fallen; for the mighty men have been greatly afflicted: howl, you oaks of the land of Basan; for the thickly planted forest has been torn down.
Tuli cipresa, kajti cedra je padla, ker so mogočni oplenjeni. Tulite, oh vi, bašánski hrasti, kajti neprehoden gozd je posekan.
3 [There is] a voice of the shepherds mourning; for their greatness is brought low: a voice of roaring lions; for the pride of Jordan is brought down.
Tam je glas tuljenja pastirjev, kajti njihova slava je oplenjena. Glas rjovenja mladih levov, kajti ponos Jordana je oplenjen.
4 Thus says the Lord Almighty, Feed the sheep of the slaughter;
Tako govori Gospod, moj Bog: »Hrani trop za zakol,
5 which their possessors have slain, and have not repented: and they that sold them said, Blessed be the Lord; for we have become rich: and their shepherds have suffered no sorrow for them.
katerih lastniki jih ubijajo in se nimajo za krive; in tisti, ki jih prodajajo, pravijo: ›Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, kajti bogat sem, ‹ in njihovi lastni pastirji jim ne prizanašajo.
6 Therefore I will no longer have mercy upon the inhabitants of the land, says the Lord: but, behold, I will deliver up the men every one into the hand of his neighbour, and into the hand of his king; and they shall destroy the land, and I will not rescue out of their hand.
Kajti ne bom več prizanašal prebivalcem dežele, ‹ govori Gospod, ›temveč glej, izročil bom ljudi, vsakega v roko njegovega soseda in v roko njegovega kralja in udarili bodo deželo in iz njihove roke jih ne bom osvobodil.
7 And I will tend the flock of slaughter in the land of Chanaan: and I will take for myself two rods; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Line; and I will tend the flock.
Jaz bom pasel trop za zakol, celó vas, oh ubogi izmed tropa. Vzel sem si dve palici. Eno sem imenoval Lepota, drugo pa sem imenoval Vezi; in jaz sem pasel trop.
8 And I will cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against me.
Tudi tri pastirje uničim v enem mesecu in moji duši so se gnusili in tudi njihova duša je zaničevala mene.
9 And I said, I will not tend you: that which dies, let it die; and that which falls off, let it fall off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of his neighbour.
Potem sem rekel: ›Ne bom vas pasel. Tisti, ki umira, naj umre in tisti, ki naj bi bil uničen, naj bo ta uničen, preostali pa naj jedo vsakdo meso drugega.
10 And I will take my beautiful staff, and cast it away, that I may break my covenant which I made with all the people.
Vzel sem svojo palico, celó Lepoto in jo zlomil, da bi lahko prelomil svojo zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z vsem ljudstvom.
11 And it shall be broken in that day; and the Chananites, the sheep that are kept for me, shall know that it is the word of the Lord.
Ta je bila prelomljena na tisti dan.‹« In tako so ubogi iz tropa, ki so čakali name, vedeli, da je bila to Gospodova beseda.
12 And I will say to them, If it be good in your eyes, give [me] my price, or refuse it. And they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Rekel sem jim: »Če mislite dobro, mi dajte moje plačilo, in če ne, opustite.« Tako so odtehtali za moje plačilo trideset koščkov srebra.
13 And the Lord said to me, Drop them into the furnace, and I will see if it is good [metal], as I was proved for their sakes. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the furnace in the house of the Lord.
Gospod mi je rekel: »Vrzi to lončarju. Lepo plačilo, za katero so me ovrednotili.« Vzel sem trideset koščkov srebra in jih vrgel v Gospodovo hišo, k lončarju.
14 And I cast away [my] second rod, [even] Line, that I might break the possession between Juda and Israel.
Potem sem zlomil svojo drugo palico, celó Vezi, da bi lahko prelomil bratstvo med Judom in Izraelom.
15 And the Lord said to me, Take yet to you shepherd's implements belonging to an unskillful shepherd.
Gospod mi je rekel: »K sebi vzemi še priprave nespametnega pastirja.
16 For, behold, I [will] raise up a shepherd against the land: he shall not visit that which is perishing, and he shall not seek that which is scattered, and he shall not heal that which is bruised, nor guide that which is whole: but he shall devour the flesh of the choice [ones], and shall dislocate the joints [of their necks].
Kajti glej, vzdignil bom pastirja v deželi, ki ne bo obiskoval tistih, ki so uničeni niti ne bo iskal mladih niti zdravil tega, kar je zlomljeno niti pasel tega, kar stoji mirno, temveč bo jedel meso rejenega in njihove parklje trgal na koščke.
17 Alas for the vain shepherds that have forsaken the sheep! the sword [shall be] upon the arms of such a one, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Gorje malikovalskemu pastirju, ki zapušča čredo! Meč bo nad njegovim laktom in nad njegovim desnim očesom. Njegov laket bo popolnoma osušen in njegovo desno oko bo skrajno otemnelo.«
