Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
黎巴嫩哪，开开你的门， 任火烧灭你的香柏树。
2 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.
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。
3 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.
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。
4 The LORD my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
耶和华—我的 神如此说：“你—撒迦利亚要牧养这将宰的群羊。
5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds do not pity them.
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。
6 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 neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”
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。’”
7 So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor” and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.
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。
8 I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
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。
9 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.”
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。”
10 I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
我折断那称为“荣美”的杖，表明我废弃与万民所立的约。
11 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.
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。
12 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.
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。
13 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.
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。
14 Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
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。
15 The LORD said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
耶和华又吩咐我说：“你再取愚昧牧人所用的器具，
16 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.
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。
17 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!”
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。”
