Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume your cedars!
黎巴嫩! 打開你的門，讓火來吞滅你的香柏!
2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees are ruined! Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has been cut down!
松樹，哀號吧! 因為香柏已被伐倒，高大者已被摧毀；巴商的橡樹，哀號吧! 因為不可深入的樹林全已倒下。
3 Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. Listen to the roaring of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.
聽，牧人在哀號，因為他們的的光榮己被破壞；聽，幼獅在咆哮，因為約旦的豪華已遭摧毀。
4 This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter,
上主，我的天主這樣說：「你要牧放這待宰的羊群!
5 whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.
那些購買牠們來宰殺的，以為無過；那賣出他們的的還說；上主應受讚美，因為我成了富翁! 那牧放牠們的，毫不憐惜牠們。
6 For I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land, declares the LORD, but behold, I will cause each man to fall into the hands of his neighbor and his king, who will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from their hands.”
我也決不再憐恤這地上的居民──上主的斷語；看，我要將每個人交在他的的牧人手中．和他的君王手中，讓他們毀滅這地， 決不由他們手中搶救。
7 So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.
這樣我就代替賣羊人牧放待宰的羊群。我取了兩根棍杖：一根我稱它為「愛護」，一根我叫它作「聯合」；我這樣牧放了羊群。
8 And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.
在一個月內，我竟廢除了三個牧人；終於我的人神也厭煩了羊群，而他們的心也厭惡我。
9 Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another’s flesh.”
我於是說：我不願再失放你們：那要死的，就讓他死去；那要喪亡的，就讓他喪亡；那劓剩下的，就讓他們彼此吞食。
10 Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
以後，我就拿起我的棍杖「愛護」，把它折斷，藉以廢除我與眾百姓所結的盟約。
11 It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
盟約便在那一天廢除了；於是那些注視我的羊販子，便知道這是上主的話。
12 Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.
以後，我對他們說：如果你們看著好，就給我工資，不然，就算了。他們於是衡量了二十兩銀子作我的工資。
13 And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—this magnificent price at which they valued me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
那時上主對我說：「你把他們對我所佔計的高價投入寶內! 我就是拿了那三十兩銀子，投入上主殿內寶庫裏
14 Then I cut in two my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
我又折斷我的另一根棍杖「聯合」，藉以廢除與以色列間的手足情誼。
15 And the LORD said to me: “Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
上主又對我說：「你再取一套愚昧收入的服裝，
16 For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will neither care for the lost, nor seek the young, nor heal the broken, nor sustain the healthy, but he will devour the flesh of the choice sheep and tear off their hooves.
因為．看，我將在地上興起一個牧人：那喪失的，他不去尋找；那迷途的，他不去搜索；那受傷的，他不去醫治；那病弱的，他不去扶持；卻要擇肥而食，並且剝去牠們的蹄子。
17 Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!”
禍哉! 那拋棄羊群的愚昧牧人! 願刀劍落在他的臂膊和他的右眼上! 願他的臂膊枯槁! 願他的右眼完全失明!
