Zacharias 11
1 Open your doors, O Libanus, and let the fire devour your cedars.
¡O Líbano! abre tus puertas, y queme fuego tus cedros.
2 Let the pine howl, because the cedar has fallen; for the mighty men have been greatly afflicted: howl, you oaks of the land of Basan; for the thickly planted forest has been torn down.
Aulla, o! haya, porque el cedro cayó, porque los magníficos son talados. Aullád, alcornoques de Basán, porque el fuerte monte es derribado.
3 [There is] a voice of the shepherds mourning; for their greatness is brought low: a voice of roaring lions; for the pride of Jordan is brought down.
Voz de aullido de pastores se oyó; porque su magnificencia es asolada: estruendo de bramido de cachorros de leones, porque la soberbia del Jordán es asolada.
4 Thus says the Lord Almighty, Feed the sheep of the slaughter;
Así dijo Jehová mi Dios: Apacienta las ovejas de la matanza;
5 which their possessors have slain, and have not repented: and they that sold them said, Blessed be the Lord; for we have become rich: and their shepherds have suffered no sorrow for them.
Las cuales mataban sus compradores, y no se culpaban; y el que las vendía, decía: Bendito sea Jehová, que he enriquecido: ni sus pastores tenían de ellas piedad.
6 Therefore I will no longer have mercy upon the inhabitants of the land, says the Lord: but, behold, I will deliver up the men every one into the hand of his neighbour, and into the hand of his king; and they shall destroy the land, and I will not rescue out of their hand.
Por tanto no tendré piedad más de los moradores de la tierra, dice Jehová; porque he aquí que yo entregaré los hombres, cada cual en mano de su compañero, y en mano de su rey; y quebrantarán la tierra, y yo no libraré de sus manos.
7 And I will tend the flock of slaughter in the land of Chanaan: and I will take for myself two rods; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Line; and I will tend the flock.
Y apacentaré las ovejas de la matanza, es a saber, los pobres del rebaño. Y porque me tomé dos cayados, al uno puse por nombre Noam Suavidad, y al otro Hobelim Ataduras; y apacenté las ovejas.
8 And I will cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against me.
E hice matar tres pastores en un mes, y mi alma se angustió por ellos, también el alma de ellos me aborreció a mí.
9 And I said, I will not tend you: that which dies, let it die; and that which falls off, let it fall off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of his neighbour.
Y dije: No os apacentaré más: la que muriere, muera; y la que se perdiere, se pierda; y las que quedaren, que cada una coma la carne de su compañera.
10 And I will take my beautiful staff, and cast it away, that I may break my covenant which I made with all the people.
Y tomé mi cayado Noam Suavidad, y lo quebré, para deshacer mi concierto que concerté con todos los pueblos.
11 And it shall be broken in that day; and the Chananites, the sheep that are kept for me, shall know that it is the word of the Lord.
Y fue deshecho en ese día, y así conocieron los pobres del rebaño que miran a mí, que era palabra de Jehová.
12 And I will say to them, If it be good in your eyes, give [me] my price, or refuse it. And they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Y díjeles: Si os parece bien, dádme mi salario; y si no, dejádlo. Y apreciaron mi salario en treinta piezas de plata.
13 And the Lord said to me, Drop them into the furnace, and I will see if it is good [metal], as I was proved for their sakes. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the furnace in the house of the Lord.
Y díjome Jehová: Échalo al tesorero, hermoso precio con que me han apreciado. Y tomé las treinta piezas de plata, y echélas en la casa de Jehová al tesorero.
14 And I cast away [my] second rod, [even] Line, that I might break the possession between Juda and Israel.
Y quebré el otro mi cayado Hobelim Ataduras, para romper la hermandad entre Judá e Israel.
15 And the Lord said to me, Take yet to you shepherd's implements belonging to an unskillful shepherd.
Y díjome Jehová: Tómate aun hato de pastor insensato.
16 For, behold, I [will] raise up a shepherd against the land: he shall not visit that which is perishing, and he shall not seek that which is scattered, and he shall not heal that which is bruised, nor guide that which is whole: but he shall devour the flesh of the choice [ones], and shall dislocate the joints [of their necks].
Porque he aquí que yo levanto pastor en la tierra, que no visitará las perdidas, no buscará la pequeña, no curará la perniquebrada, ni llevará a cuestas la cansada: mas comerse ha la carne de la gruesa, y romperá sus uñas.
17 Alas for the vain shepherds that have forsaken the sheep! the sword [shall be] upon the arms of such a one, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Mal haya el pastor de nada, que deja el ganado: espada sobre su brazo, y sobre su ojo derecho: secándose se secará su brazo, y su ojo derecho oscureciéndose será oscurecido.
