Zaharija 11
1 Odpri svoja vrata, oh Libanon, da bo ogenj lahko pogoltnil tvoje cedre.
Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
2 Tuli cipresa, kajti cedra je padla, ker so mogočni oplenjeni. Tulite, oh vi, bašánski hrasti, kajti neprehoden gozd je posekan.
Wail, cypress tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.
3 Tam je glas tuljenja pastirjev, kajti njihova slava je oplenjena. Glas rjovenja mladih levov, kajti ponos Jordana je oplenjen.
A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyed—a voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
4 Tako govori Gospod, moj Bog: »Hrani trop za zakol,
The LORD my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
5 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.
Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.
6 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.
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the LORD; “but, behold, I will deliver every one of the men into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”
7 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.
So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor” and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.
8 Tudi tri pastirje uničim v enem mesecu in moji duši so se gnusili in tudi njihova duša je zaničevala mene.
I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
9 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.
Then I said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.”
10 Vzel sem svojo palico, celó Lepoto in jo zlomil, da bi lahko prelomil svojo zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z vsem ljudstvom.
I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
11 Ta je bila prelomljena na tisti dan.‹« In tako so ubogi iz tropa, ki so čakali name, vedeli, da je bila to Gospodova beseda.
It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the LORD’s word.
12 Rekel sem jim: »Če mislite dobro, mi dajte moje plačilo, in če ne, opustite.« Tako so odtehtali za moje plačilo trideset koščkov srebra.
I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
13 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.
The LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter—the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the LORD’s house.
14 Potem sem zlomil svojo drugo palico, celó Vezi, da bi lahko prelomil bratstvo med Judom in Izraelom.
Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Gospod mi je rekel: »K sebi vzemi še priprave nespametnega pastirja.
The LORD said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 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.
For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the meat of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
17 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.«
Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will strike his arm and his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”
