Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume your cedars!
Odpri svoja vrata, oh Libanon, da bo ogenj lahko pogoltnil tvoje cedre.
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!
Tuli cipresa, kajti cedra je padla, ker so mogočni oplenjeni. Tulite, oh vi, bašánski hrasti, kajti neprehoden gozd je posekan.
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.
Tam je glas tuljenja pastirjev, kajti njihova slava je oplenjena. Glas rjovenja mladih levov, kajti ponos Jordana je oplenjen.
4 This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter,
Tako govori Gospod, moj Bog: »Hrani trop za zakol,
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.
katerih lastniki jih ubijajo in se nimajo za krive; in tisti, ki jih prodajajo, pravijo: ›Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, kajti bogat sem, ‹ in njihovi lastni pastirji jim ne prizanašajo.
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.”
Kajti ne bom več prizanašal prebivalcem dežele, ‹ govori Gospod, ›temveč glej, izročil bom ljudi, vsakega v roko njegovega soseda in v roko njegovega kralja in udarili bodo deželo in iz njihove roke jih ne bom osvobodil.
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.
Jaz bom pasel trop za zakol, celó vas, oh ubogi izmed tropa. Vzel sem si dve palici. Eno sem imenoval Lepota, drugo pa sem imenoval Vezi; in jaz sem pasel trop.
8 And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.
Tudi tri pastirje uničim v enem mesecu in moji duši so se gnusili in tudi njihova duša je zaničevala mene.
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.”
Potem sem rekel: ›Ne bom vas pasel. Tisti, ki umira, naj umre in tisti, ki naj bi bil uničen, naj bo ta uničen, preostali pa naj jedo vsakdo meso drugega.
10 Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
Vzel sem svojo palico, celó Lepoto in jo zlomil, da bi lahko prelomil svojo zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z vsem ljudstvom.
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.
Ta je bila prelomljena na tisti dan.‹« In tako so ubogi iz tropa, ki so čakali name, vedeli, da je bila to Gospodova beseda.
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.
Rekel sem jim: »Če mislite dobro, mi dajte moje plačilo, in če ne, opustite.« Tako so odtehtali za moje plačilo trideset koščkov srebra.
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.
Gospod mi je rekel: »Vrzi to lončarju. Lepo plačilo, za katero so me ovrednotili.« Vzel sem trideset koščkov srebra in jih vrgel v Gospodovo hišo, k lončarju.
14 Then I cut in two my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Potem sem zlomil svojo drugo palico, celó Vezi, da bi lahko prelomil bratstvo med Judom in Izraelom.
15 And the LORD said to me: “Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
Gospod mi je rekel: »K sebi vzemi še priprave nespametnega pastirja.
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.
Kajti glej, vzdignil bom pastirja v deželi, ki ne bo obiskoval tistih, ki so uničeni niti ne bo iskal mladih niti zdravil tega, kar je zlomljeno niti pasel tega, kar stoji mirno, temveč bo jedel meso rejenega in njihove parklje trgal na koščke.
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!”
Gorje malikovalskemu pastirju, ki zapušča čredo! Meč bo nad njegovim laktom in nad njegovim desnim očesom. Njegov laket bo popolnoma osušen in njegovo desno oko bo skrajno otemnelo.«
