Zaharija 11
1 Otvori vrata, Libanone, nek' ti oganj sažeže cedrove!
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, That the fire may devour thy cedars!
2 Kukaj, čempresu, jer pade cedar, jer su mogućnici upropašteni! Kukajte, hrastovi bašanski, jer posječena je šuma najgušća.
Howl, O cypress, for the cedar falleth! For the lofty ones are destroyed! Howl, O ye oaks of Bashan, For the high forest is come down!
3 Čuj jauk pastira, opustošen je sjaj njihov! Čuj riku lavića, opustošen je ponos jordanski!
Hark! the voice of the howling of the shepherds, Because their glory is destroyed! The voice of the roaring of young lions, Because the pride of Jordan is destroyed!
4 Ovako mi reče Jahve:
Thus said Jehovah, my God: Feed thou the flock of slaughter,
5 “Pasi ovce klanice! Kupci ih njihovi kolju nekažnjeno, a koji ih prodaju, govore: 'Blagoslovljen bio Jahve, obogatio sam se!' i pastiri ih njihovi ne štede.
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty, And which they who sell say, “Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich!” And whose shepherds spare them not.
6 Ni ja više neću štedjeti žitelja zemlje - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - nego: predajem, evo, svakoga u ruke njegova bližnjega i u ruke kralja njegova; i oni će pustošiti zemlju, a ja neću izbavljati iz ruku njihovih.”
For I will no longer spare The inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah; But, behold, I will deliver the men Every one into the hand of his neighbor, And into the hand of his king; And they shall smite the land, And I will not deliver out of their hand.
7 Stadoh pasti ovce klanice za trgovce ovcama te uzeh dva štapa: jedan nazvah Naklonost, drugi Sveza. Tako sam pasao stado.
So I fed the flock of slaughter, truly a miserable flock. And I took to me two crooks; the one I called Favor, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
8 I u jednom mjesecu odbacih tri pastira. Ali mi i ovce dojadiše, omrznuh im.
And I cut off three shepherds in one month; for I was weary of them, and they also abhorred me.
9 Tad rekoh: “Neću vas više pasti! Koja mora uginuti, nek' ugine! Koja mora nestati, nek' nestane! A koje ostanu, neka jedna drugoj meso prožderu!”
Then I said, I will not feed you; that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat the flesh of one another.
10 Tad uzeh svoj štap Naklonost i slomih ga da raskinem Savez svoj što ga bijah sklopio sa svim narodima.
And I took my staff Favor, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the nations.
11 I on se raskinu onog dana, i trgovci ovcama koji su to gledali doznaše da je to bila riječ Jahvina.
And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock, who had regard to me, knew that it was the word of Jehovah.
12 Rekoh im tad: “Ako vam je to dobro, dajte mi plaću; ako nije, nemojte.” Oni mi odmjeriše plaću: trideset srebrnika.
Then I said to them, If it seem good in your eyes, give me my wages; if not, keep them. And they weighed for my wages thirty shekels of silver.
13 A Jahve mi reče: “Baci u riznicu tu lijepu cijenu kojom su me procijenili!” Ja uzeh trideset srebrnika i bacih u riznicu u Domu Jahvinu.
And Jehovah said to me, Cast it into the treasury, the goodly price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver, and cast them into the house of Jehovah, into the treasury.
14 Onda slomih i svoj drugi štap, Svezu - da raskinem bratstvo između Jude i Izraela.
Then I broke my other crook, even Bands, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 I reče mi Jahve: “Uzmi još opremu bezumna pastira,
And Jehovah said to me: Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 jer, evo, podići ću jednoga bezumnog pastira u ovoj zemlji: za izgubljene on se neće brinuti, zalutale neće tražiti, ranjene neće vidati, iscrpljene neće nositi, nego će jesti meso od pretilih i papke im otkidati.
For lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land Who shall not care for those that are perishing, Nor seek that which is gone astray, Nor heal that which is wounded, Nor support that which cannot go; But he shall eat the flesh of the fat, And consume it even to the hoofs.
17 Teško pastiru opakom koji stado ostavlja! Neka mu mač stigne ruku i desno oko! Nek' mu desnica sasvim usahne, oko desno sasvim potamni!”
Woe to the foolish shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword is upon his arm, and upon his right eye; His arm shall surely be withered, And his right eye shall surely be darkened!
