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。
Howl, cypress, for the cedar is fallen; because the noble ones are spoiled. Howl, ye oaks of Bashan; for the strong forest is 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 howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
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 saith 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 slay them without being held guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah! for I am become 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, saith Jehovah, and behold, I will deliver men, every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver 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 unto 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 destroyed three shepherds in one month; and my soul was vexed with 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。」
And I said, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which perisheth let it perish; and let them which are left eat every 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 asunder, 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 so the poor of the flock that 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 unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my hire; and if not, forbear. And they weighed for my hire thirty silver-pieces.
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 unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty silver-pieces, 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。
And I cut asunder mine other staff, Bands, to 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 unto me, Take unto thee yet 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 behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit those that are about to perish, neither shall seek that which is strayed away, nor heal that which is wounded, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and 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 that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye; his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye utterly darkened.
