撒迦利亚书 11
1 黎巴嫩哪，开开你的门， 任火烧灭你的香柏树。
Open your doors, Lebanon, so that fire can burn up your cedars!
2 松树啊，应当哀号； 因为香柏树倾倒，佳美的树毁坏。 巴珊的橡树啊，应当哀号， 因为茂盛的树林已经倒了。
Weep, juniper, because the cedar has fallen, the majestic trees are ruined! Weep, oaks of Bashan, for the thick forest has been cut down!
3 听啊，有牧人哀号的声音， 因他们荣华的草场毁坏了。 有少壮狮子咆哮的声音， 因约旦河旁的丛林荒废了。
Listen to the howls of the shepherds, for their pastureland is destroyed. Listen to the roars of the young lions, for their Jordan habitat is ruined.
4 耶和华—我的 神如此说：“你—撒迦利亚要牧养这将宰的群羊。
This is what the Lord my God says: Become a shepherd of the flock marked for slaughter.
5 买他们的宰了他们，以自己为无罪；卖他们的说：‘耶和华是应当称颂的，因我成为富足。’牧养他们的并不怜恤他们。
Those who buy them kill them and don't feel guilty; those who sell them say, “Praise the Lord! Now I'm rich!” Even their shepherds don't care about them.
6 耶和华说：‘我不再怜恤这地的居民，必将这民交给各人的邻舍和他们王的手中。他们必毁灭这地，我也不救这民脱离他们的手。’”
For I will no longer care about the people of the Land, declares the Lord. I am going to make them victims of each other, and of the king. They will devastate the earth and I won't help anyone get away from them.
7 于是，我牧养这将宰的群羊，就是群中最困苦的羊。我拿着两根杖，一根我称为“荣美”，一根我称为“联索”。这样，我牧养了群羊。
So I became a shepherd of the flock marked for slaughter by the sheep merchants. Then I took two staffs, one named Grace, the other named Union, and I shepherded the flock.
8 一月之内，我除灭三个牧人，因为我的心厌烦他们；他们的心也憎嫌我。
In one month I dismissed three shepherds. I became impatient with them, and they also hated me.
9 我就说：“我不牧养你们。要死的，由他死；要丧亡的，由他丧亡；余剩的，由他们彼此相食。”
Then I said, “I will not be your shepherd. If the sheep die, they die. Let those that are to perish, perish. Let those who are left eat each other!”
10 我折断那称为“荣美”的杖，表明我废弃与万民所立的约。
Then I took my staff called Grace and broke it, breaking the agreement I had made with all the peoples.
11 当日就废弃了。这样，那些仰望我的困苦羊就知道所说的是耶和华的话。
It was broken on that day, and the sheep merchants who were watching me knew that it was a message from the Lord.
12 我对他们说：“你们若以为美，就给我工价。不然，就罢了！”于是他们给了三十块钱作为我的工价。
I told them, “If you want to pay me my wages, then do so. If not, then don't.” So they paid me my wages—thirty pieces of silver.
13 耶和华吩咐我说：“要把众人所估定美好的价值丢给窑户。”我便将这三十块钱，在耶和华的殿中丢给窑户了。
And the Lord said to me, “Throw the money to the treasury,” this measly sum they thought I was worth! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw it into the treasury of the Lord's Temple.
14 我又折断称为“联索”的那根杖，表明我废弃犹大与以色列弟兄的情谊。
Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the family union between Judah and Israel.
15 耶和华又吩咐我说：“你再取愚昧牧人所用的器具，
The Lord told me, Get the things you use as a shepherd, a useless shepherd.
16 因我要在这地兴起一个牧人。他不看顾丧亡的，不寻找分散的，不医治受伤的，也不牧养强壮的；却要吃肥羊的肉，撕裂它的蹄子。
For I am placing a shepherd in charge of the land who won't care for those who are dying, or look for the lost, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy. Instead he will eat the meat from the fattest sheep. He even tears their hooves off.
17 无用的牧人丢弃羊群有祸了！ 刀必临到他的膀臂和右眼上。 他的膀臂必全然枯干； 他的右眼也必昏暗失明。”
What disaster is coming to this useless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword will strike his arm and his right eye. His arm will wither away and his right eye will become completely blind.
