Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, Lebanon, so that fire may devour your cedars.
レバノンよ汝の門を啓き火をして汝の香柏を焚しめよ
2 Wail, pine-tree, for the cedar is fallen. Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest has fallen.
松よ叫べ香柏は倒れ威嚴樹はそこなはれたりバシヤンの橡よ叫べ高らかなる林は倒れたり
3 Listen to the wailing of the shepherds! Their glory is destroyed. Listen to the roaring of young lions! Blasted is the thick forest of the Jordan.
牧者の叫ぶ聲あり其榮そこなはれたればなり猛き獅子の吼る聲ありヨルダンの叢そこなはれたればなり
4 The Lord said to me: shepherd the flock destined for slaughter,
我神ヱホバかく言たまふ宰らるべき羔を牧へ
5 whose possessors slaughter them, and hold themselves not guilty! The people who sell them say, Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich! And their own shepherds have no compassion for them.
之を買ふ者は之を宰るとも罪なし之を賣る者は言ふ我富を得ればヱホバを祝すべしと其牧者もこれを惜まざるなり
6 I will no longer have pity on the people of this earth, says the Lord. I will turn neighbour against neighbour, and put everyone under the power of a king, and when the land is devastated I will not rescue them.
ヱホバ言たまふ我かさねて地の居民を惜まじ視よ我人を各々その隣人の手に付しその王の手に付さん彼ら地を荒すべし我これを彼らの手より救ひ出さじ
7 So I shepherded the flock of slaughter for the sheep-merchants. I took two staffs: one I called Mercy and the other I called Union. So I shepherded the sheep.
我すなはち其宰らるべき羊を牧り是は最も憫然なる羊なり我みづから二本の杖を取り一を恩と名け一を結と名けてその羊を牧り
8 I set aside three of the shepherds in one month; for I was indignant against them, and they also were displeased at me.
我一月に牧者三人を絶り我心に彼らを厭ひしが彼等も心に我を惡めり
9 I said, I will not shepherd you. What is dead, let it die. What is set aside, let it be set aside. And let those who are left devour one another’s flesh.
我いへり我は汝らを飼はじ死る者は死に絶るる者は絶れ遺る者は互にその肉を食ひあふべし
10 And I took my staff, Mercy, and broke it, so as to break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
我恩といふ杖を取て之を折れり是諸の民に立し我契約を廢せんとてなりき
11 In that day it was broken, and the sheep-merchants who watched me knew that it was the Lord’s message.
是は其日に廢せられたり是に於てかの我に聽したがひし憫然なる羊は之をヱホバの言なりしと知れり
12 And I said to them, ‘If it is good in your sight, give me my wage. If not, don’t.’ So they weighed out my wage, thirty pieces of silver.
我彼らに向ひて汝等もし善と視なば我價を我に授けよ若しからずば止めよと言ければ彼等すなはち銀三十を權りて我價とせり
13 And the Lord said to me, Cast it into the treasury – the precious wage that at which I was valued by them! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them into the house of the Lord, into the treasury.
ヱホバ我に言たまひけるは彼等に我が估價せられしその善價を陶人に投あたへよと我すなはち銀三十を取てヱホバの室に投いれて陶人に歸せしむ
14 Then I broke my second staff called Union so as to dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Jerusalem.
我また結といふ杖を折れり是ユダとイスラエルの間の和好を絶んとてなりき
15 And the Lord said to me: Take again the implements of a worthless shepherd.
ヱホバ我に言たまはく汝また愚なる牧者の器を取れ
16 For I am about to appoint a shepherd over the land. Those who are thrust down he will not visit. Those who are scattered he will not seek out. The wounded he will not heal, the sick he will not make whole, but the flesh of the fat he will devour and even their hoofs he will tear.
視よ我地に一人の牧者を興さん彼は亡ぶる者を顧みず迷へる者を尋ねず傷つける者を醫さず健剛なる者を飼はず肥たる者の肉を食ひ且その蹄を裂ん
17 Woe to my worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye. May his arm completely wither. And his right eye be blinded.
其羊の群を棄る惡き牧者は禍なるかな劍その腕に臨みその右の目に臨まん其腕は全く枯えその右の目は全く盲れん
