撒迦利亞書 11
1 黎巴嫩! 打開你的門，讓火來吞滅你的香柏!
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, and the fire shall eat on thy cedars.
2 松樹，哀號吧! 因為香柏已被伐倒，高大者已被摧毀；巴商的橡樹，哀號吧! 因為不可深入的樹林全已倒下。
Wail, fir-tree; for fallen is the cedar; those that were mighty are despoiled: wail, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the impervious forest is come down.
3 聽，牧人在哀號，因為他們的的光榮己被破壞；聽，幼獅在咆哮，因為約旦的豪華已遭摧毀。
[There is] the noise of the wailing of the shepherds; for wasted is their glory: [there is] the noise of the roaring of young lions; for wasted is the pride of the Jordan.
4 上主，我的天主這樣說：「你要牧放這待宰的羊群!
Thus hath said the Lord my God, Feed the flocks [that are destined for] the slaughter;
5 那些購買牠們來宰殺的，以為無過；那賣出他們的的還說；上主應受讚美，因為我成了富翁! 那牧放牠們的，毫不憐惜牠們。
Whom their buyers slay, and hold themselves guiltless; and whose sellers say, Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich: and none of whose shepherds have pity on them.
6 我也決不再憐恤這地上的居民──上主的斷語；看，我要將每個人交在他的的牧人手中．和他的君王手中，讓他們毀滅這地， 決不由他們手中搶救。
For I will no more have pity on the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into the hand of his neighbor, and into the hand of his king: and they shall beat down the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand.
7 這樣我就代替賣羊人牧放待宰的羊群。我取了兩根棍杖：一根我稱它為「愛護」，一根我叫它作「聯合」；我這樣牧放了羊群。
And I had fed the flocks [that were destined for] the slaughter, —indeed, the poorest of the flocks; and I had taken unto me two staves; the one I called Mildness [[No'am]], and the other I called Concord [[Choblim]]: and I fed the flocks.
8 在一個月內，我竟廢除了三個牧人；終於我的人神也厭煩了羊群，而他們的心也厭惡我。
And I removed the three shepherds in one month; and my soul was tired of them, and also their soul abhorred me.
9 我於是說：我不願再失放你們：那要死的，就讓他死去；那要喪亡的，就讓他喪亡；那劓剩下的，就讓他們彼此吞食。
Then said I, I will not feed you: what is dying may die; and what is to be lost may be lost; and those that are left may eat every one the flesh of the other.
10 以後，我就拿起我的棍杖「愛護」，把它折斷，藉以廢除我與眾百姓所結的盟約。
And I took my staff, namely, Mildness, and cut it to pieces, to annul my covenant which I had made with all the tribes.
11 盟約便在那一天廢除了；於是那些注視我的羊販子，便知道這是上主的話。
And when it was annulled on that day, then knew they well, truly the poorest of the flocks that waited for me, that it was the word of the Lord.
12 以後，我對他們說：如果你們看著好，就給我工資，不然，就算了。他們於是衡量了二十兩銀子作我的工資。
And I said unto them, If it be good in your eyes, give me my reward; and if not, forbear. So they weighed out as my reward thirty pieces of silver.
13 那時上主對我說：「你把他們對我所佔計的高價投入寶內! 我就是拿了那三十兩銀子，投入上主殿內寶庫裏
And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the treasurer, the precious price which I am prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them in the house of the Lord unto the treasurer.
14 我又折斷我的另一根棍杖「聯合」，藉以廢除與以色列間的手足情誼。
Then I cut in pieces my second staff, namely, Concord, to annul the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 上主又對我說：「你再取一套愚昧收入的服裝，
And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 因為．看，我將在地上興起一個牧人：那喪失的，他不去尋找；那迷途的，他不去搜索；那受傷的，他不去醫治；那病弱的，他不去扶持；卻要擇肥而食，並且剝去牠們的蹄子。
For, lo, I raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not think of those that are lost, nor seek for that which is gone astray, nor heal that which hath [a limb] broken; who will not care for that which hath stood still; but who will eat the flesh of the fat, and devour all even to their claws.
17 禍哉! 那拋棄羊群的愚昧牧人! 願刀劍落在他的臂膊和他的右眼上! 願他的臂膊枯槁! 願他的右眼完全失明!
Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall utterly wither, and his right eye shall be completely blinded.
