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 thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy 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。
Wail, O fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the fine ones are destroyed. Wail, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come 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。
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 laid waste.
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。
Thus said Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of 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。
whose possessors kill them, and hold themselves not guilty. And those who sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich, and their own shepherds pity them not.
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 more pity the inhabitants of the land, says Jehovah. But, lo, I will deliver the men each one into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king. And they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver them out of 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 fed the flock of slaughter, truly the poor of the flock. And I took to me two staves, the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands, and I fed 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。
And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed 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, 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 one the flesh of another.
10 我折斷那稱為「榮美」的杖，表明我廢棄與萬民所立的約。
And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
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。
And it was broken in that day, and thus the poor of the flock who gave heed to me knew that it was the word of Jehovah.
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。
And I said to them, If ye think good, give me my wage, and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my wage 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。
And Jehovah said to me, Cast it to the potter, the good price that I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of Jehovah.
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 cut apart my other staff, even Bands, that I might 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，
And Jehovah said to me, Take to thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
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, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, nor will he seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound, but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
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 leaves the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye. His arm shall be entirely dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
