Книга пророка Захарии 11
1 Разверзи, Ливане, двери твоя, и да пояст огнь кедры твоя:
Open your gates, Lebanon, and let fire consume your cedars.
2 да плачевопльствит питис, зане паде кедр, яко вельможи вельми обеднеша. Восплачевопльствите, дуби Васанитидстии, яко посечеся дубрава насажденная.
Howl, you fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the magnificent have been devastated. Howl, you oaks of Bashan, because the secure forest passage has been cut down.
3 Глас плачущих пастырей, яко возбедствова величие их: глас рыкающих львов, яко озлоблено бысть шатание Иорданово.
The voice of the howling of the shepherds: for their magnificence has been devastated. The voice of the roaring of the lions: because the arrogance of the Jordan has been devastated.
4 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: пасите овцы заколения,
Thus says the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,
5 яже стяжавшии закалаху и не раскаявахуся, и продающии я глаголаху: благословен Господь, и обогатихомся: и пастырие их не печахуся ни чимже о них.
which those who possessed them cut down, and they did not feel sorrow, and they sold them, saying: “Blessed be the Lord; we have become wealthy. Even their shepherds did not spare them.”
6 Сего ради не пощажду ктому на живущих на земли, глаголет Господь: и се, Аз предам человеки, коегождо в руце искреннему его и в руце царю своему: и изсекут землю, и не имам изяти от руки их.
And so, I will no longer spare the inhabitants upon the earth, says the Lord. Behold, I will deliver men, each one into the hand of his neighbor and into the hand of his king. And they will cut down the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand.
7 И упасу овцы заколения в земли Ханаани: и прииму Себе два жезла, единаго нарекох доброту, а другаго нарекох уже, и упасу овцы.
And I will pasture the flock of the slaughter, because of this, O poor of the flock. And I took to myself two staffs: the one I called Handsome, and the other I called Rope, and I pastured the flock.
8 И погублю три пастыри в месяц един, и отягчает душа Моя на ня: ибо души их рыкаху на Мя.
And I cut down three shepherds in one month. And my soul became contracted concerning them, just as their soul also varied concerning me.
9 И рех: не имам пасти вас: умирающее да умрет, и изчезающее да изчезнет, и прочая да пояст кийждо плоть ближняго своего.
And I said: I will not pasture you. Whatever dies, let it die. And whatever is cut down, let it be cut down. And let the rest of them devour, each one the flesh of his neighbor.
10 И прииму жезл Мой добрый и отвергу его еже разорити завет Мой, егоже завещах ко всем людем:
And I took my staff, which was called Handsome, and I tore it apart, so as to invalidate my pact, which I had struck with all of the people.
11 и разорится в день оный, и уразумеют Хананее овцы хранимыя Мне, зане слово Господне есть.
And it became invalid in that day. And so they understood, just like the poor of the flock who stay close to me, that this is the word of the Lord.
12 И реку к ним: аще добро пред вами есть, дадите мзду Мою, или отрецытеся. И поставиша мзду Мою тридесять сребреник.
And I said to them: If it is good in your eyes, bring me my wages. And if not, remain still. And they weighed for my wages thirty silver coins.
13 И рече Господь ко мне: вложи я в горнило и смотри, аще искушено есть, имже образом искушен бых о них. И приях тридесять сребреник и вложих их в храм Господень в горнило.
And the Lord said to me: Cast it towards the statuary, the handsome price at which I have been valued by them. And I took the thirty silver coins, and I cast them into the house of the Lord, towards the statuary.
14 И отвергох жезл вторый уже, еже разорити завет иже посреде Иуды и посреде Израиля.
And I cut short my second staff, which was called Rope, so that I might dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 И рече Господь ко мне: еще приими себе сосуды пастырски, пастыря неискусна:
And the Lord said to me: Still they are to you the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 зане, се, Аз воздвигну пастыря на землю: погибающаго не посетит и расточеннаго не имать взыскати, и сокрушеннаго не имать изцелити и здраваго не имать направити, и мяса избранных пояст и глезны их извиет.
For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish what remains standing, and he will consume the flesh of the fatted ones and break their hoofs.
17 О, пасущии суетная и оставльшии овец! Мечь на мышцу его и на око ему десное: мышца его изсыхающи изсхнет, и око ему десное ослепая ослепнет.
O shepherd and idol, abandoning the flock, with a sword upon his arm and over his right eye: his arm will be withered by drought, and his right eye will be obscured by darkness.
