< Zachariáš 11 >

1 Otevři, Libáne, vrata svá, ať zžíře oheň cedry tvé.
Let your doors be open, O Lebanon, so that fire may be burning among your cedars.
2 Kvěl jedle, nebo padl cedr, nebo znamenití vypléněni jsou; kvělte dubové Bázanští, nebo klesl les ohražený.
Give a cry of grief, O fir-tree, for the fall of the cedar, because the great ones have been made low: give cries of grief, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong trees of the wood have come down.
3 Hlas kvílení pastýřů, proto že popléněno důstojenství jejich; hlas řvání lvů, proto že popléněna pýcha Jordánu.
The sound of the crying of the keepers of the flock! for their glory is made waste: the sound of the loud crying of the young lions! for the pride of Jordan is made waste.
4 Takto praví Hospodin Bůh můj: Pas ovce tyto k zbití oddané,
This is what the Lord my God has said: Take care of the flock of death;
5 Kteříž držitelé jejich mordují, aniž bývají obviňováni, a kdož je prodávají, říkají: Požehnaný Hospodin, že jsme zbohatli, a kteříž je pasou, nemají lítosti nad nimi.
Whose owners put them to death and have no sense of sin; and those who get a price for them say, May the Lord be praised for I have much wealth: and the keepers of the flock have no pity for them.
6 Protož nebudu míti lítosti více nad obyvateli této země, praví Hospodin, ale aj, já uvedu ty lidi jednoho druhému v ruku, a v ruku krále jejich. I budou potírati zemi tuto, a nevytrhnu jí z ruky jejich.
For I will have no more pity for the people of the land, says the Lord; but I will give up everyone into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king: and they will make the land waste, and I will not keep them safe from their hands.
7 Nebo jsem pásl ovce k zbití oddané, totiž vás chudé toho stáda, a vzav sobě dvě hole, nazval jsem jednu utěšením, a druhou jsem nazval svazujících. A pásl jsem, pravím, ty ovce,
So I took care of the flock of death, for those who made profit out of the flock; and I took for myself two rods, naming one Beautiful, and the other Bands; and I took care of the flock.
8 A zahladil jsem tři pastýře měsíce jednoho, ale duše má stýskala sobě s nimi, proto že duše jejich nenáviděla mne.
And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.
9 Pročež řekl jsem: Nebudu vás pásti. Kteráž umříti má, nechť umře, a kteráž má vyhlazena býti, nechť jest vyhlazena, a jiné nechažť jedí maso jedna druhé.
And I said, I will not take care of you: If death comes to any, let death be its fate; if any is cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest take one another's flesh for food.
10 Protož vzav hůl svou utěšení, posekal jsem ji, zrušiv smlouvu svou, kterouž jsem učinil se vším tím lidem.
And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.
11 A v ten den, když zrušena byla, právě poznali chudí toho stáda, kteříž na mne pozor měli, že řeč Hospodinova jest.
And it was broken on that day: and the sheep-traders, who were watching me, were certain that it was the word of the Lord.
12 Nebo jsem řekl jim: Jestliže se vám vidí, dejte mzdu mou; pakli nic, nechte tak. I odvážili mzdu mou třidceti stříbrných.
And I said to them, If it seems good to you, give me my payment; and if not, do not give it. So they gave me my payment by weight, thirty shekels of silver.
13 I řekl mi Hospodin: Povrz je před hrnčíře. Znamenitá mzda, kterouž jsem tak draze šacován od nich. A tak vzav třidceti stříbrných, uvrhl jsem je v domě Hospodinově před hrnčíře.
And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.
14 Potom posekal jsem hůl svou druhou svazujících, zrušiv bratrství mezi Judou a mezi Izraelem.
Then I took my other rod, the one named Bands, cutting it in two, so that the relation of brothers between Judah and Israel might be broken.
15 I řekl mi Hospodin: Vezmi sobě ještě oruží pastýře bláznivého.
And the Lord said to me, Take again the instruments of a foolish keeper of sheep.
16 Nebo aj, já vzbudím pastýře v této zemi. Pobloudilých nebude navštěvovati, ani jehňátka hledati, ani což polámaného jest, léčiti, ani toho, což se zastavuje, nositi, ale maso toho, což tučnějšího jest, jísti bude, a kopyta jejich poláme.
For see, I will put a sheep-keeper over the land, who will have no care for that which is cut off, and will not go in search of the wanderers, or make well what is broken, and he will not give food to that which is ill, but he will take for his food the flesh of the fat, and let their feet be broken.
17 Běda pastýři tomu ničemnému, kterýž opouští stádo. Meč na rameno jeho a na oko pravé jeho, rámě jeho docela uschne, a oko pravé jeho naprosto zatmí se.
A curse on the foolish keeper who goes away from the flock! the sword will be on his arm and on his right eye: his arm will become quite dry and his eye will be made completely dark.
