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 your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your 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, 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 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。
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 上主，我的天主這樣說：「你要牧放這待宰的羊群!
The LORD my God says: “Feed the flock of 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。
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 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 pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the LORD; “but, behold, I will deliver every one of the men into his neighbour’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 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。
So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favour” and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.
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。
I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed 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 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 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。
I took my staff Favour and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
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。
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 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。
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 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
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 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 apart my other staff, Union, that I might break 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，
The LORD said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment 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, 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 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 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!”
