Zechariah 11
1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Odpri svoja vrata, oh Libanon, da bo ogenj lahko pogoltnil tvoje cedre.
2 Howl, cypress, for the cedar is fallen; because the noble ones are spoiled. Howl, ye oaks of Bashan; for the strong forest is come down.
Tuli cipresa, kajti cedra je padla, ker so mogočni oplenjeni. Tulite, oh vi, bašánski hrasti, kajti neprehoden gozd je posekan.
3 A voice of howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
Tam je glas tuljenja pastirjev, kajti njihova slava je oplenjena. Glas rjovenja mladih levov, kajti ponos Jordana je oplenjen.
4 Thus saith Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter,
Tako govori Gospod, moj Bog: »Hrani trop za zakol,
5 whose possessors slay them without being held guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah! for I am become rich; and their own shepherds pity them not.
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 more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah, and behold, I will deliver men, every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand.
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 fed the flock of slaughter, truly the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed 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 I destroyed three shepherds in one month; and my soul was vexed with them, and their soul also loathed me.
Tudi tri pastirje uničim v enem mesecu in moji duši so se gnusili in tudi njihova duša je zaničevala mene.
9 And I said, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which perisheth let it perish; and let them which are left eat every one the flesh of another.
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 And I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
Vzel sem svojo palico, celó Lepoto in jo zlomil, da bi lahko prelomil svojo zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z vsem ljudstvom.
11 And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock that gave heed to me knew that it was the word of Jehovah.
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 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my hire; and if not, forbear. And they weighed for my hire thirty silver-pieces.
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 Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty silver-pieces, and cast them to the potter in the house of Jehovah.
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 And I cut asunder mine other staff, Bands, to break 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 Jehovah said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments 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 shall not visit those that are about to perish, neither shall seek that which is strayed away, nor heal that which is wounded, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their hoofs in pieces.
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 that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye; his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye utterly darkened.
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.«
