Zechariah 11
1 Open thy doores, O Lebanon, and the fire shall deuoure thy cedars.
黎巴嫩哪，開開你的門， 任火燒滅你的香柏樹。
2 Houle, firre trees: for the cedar is fallen, because all the mightie are destroyed: houle ye, O okes of Bashan, for ye defesed forest is cut downe.
松樹啊，應當哀號； 因為香柏樹傾倒，佳美的樹毀壞。 巴珊的橡樹啊，應當哀號， 因為茂盛的樹林已經倒了。
3 There is the voyce of the houling of the shepherdes: for their glorie is destroyed: the voyce of ye roaring of lyons whelpes: for the pride of Iorden is destroyed.
聽啊，有牧人哀號的聲音， 因他們榮華的草場毀壞了。 有少壯獅子咆哮的聲音， 因約旦河旁的叢林荒廢了。
4 Thus sayeth the Lord my God, Feede the sheepe of the slaughter.
耶和華－我的上帝如此說：「你－撒迦利亞要牧養這將宰的群羊。
5 They that possesse them, slay them and sinne not: and they that sell them, say, Blessed be the Lord: for I am riche, and their owne shepherds spare them not.
買他們的宰了他們，以自己為無罪；賣他們的說：『耶和華是應當稱頌的，因我成為富足。』牧養他們的並不憐恤他們。
6 Surely I wil no more spare those that dwell in the land, sayth the Lord: but loe, I will deliuer the men euery one into his neighbours hand, and into the hand of his King: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hands I wil not deliuer them.
耶和華說：『我不再憐恤這地的居民，必將這民交給各人的鄰舍和他們王的手中。他們必毀滅這地，我也不救這民脫離他們的手。』」
7 For I fed the sheepe of slaughter, euen the poore of the flocke, and I tooke vnto me two staues: the one I called Beautie, and the other I called Bandes, and I fed the sheepe.
於是，我牧養這將宰的群羊，就是群中最困苦的羊。我拿着兩根杖，一根我稱為「榮美」，一根我稱為「聯索」。這樣，我牧養了群羊。
8 Three shepherdes also I cut off in one moneth, and my soule lothed them, and their soule abhorred me.
一月之內，我除滅三個牧人，因為我的心厭煩他們；他們的心也憎嫌我。
9 Then said I, I will not feede you: that that dyeth, let it dye: and that that perisheth, let it perish: and let the remnant eate, euery one the flesh of his neighbour.
我就說：「我不牧養你們。要死的，由他死；要喪亡的，由他喪亡；餘剩的，由他們彼此相食。」
10 And I tooke my staffe, euen Beautie, and brake it, that I might disanull my couenant, which I had made with all people.
我折斷那稱為「榮美」的杖，表明我廢棄與萬民所立的約。
11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poore of the sheepe that waited vpon me, knew that it was the worde of the Lord.
當日就廢棄了。這樣，那些仰望我的困苦羊就知道所說的是耶和華的話。
12 And I said vnto them, If ye thinke it good, giue me my wages: and if no, leaue off: so they weighed for my wages thirtie pieces of siluer.
我對他們說：「你們若以為美，就給我工價。不然，就罷了！」於是他們給了三十塊錢作為我的工價。
13 And the Lord said vnto me, Cast it vnto the potter: a goodly price, that I was valued at of them. And I tooke the thirtie pieces of siluer, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.
耶和華吩咐我說：「要把眾人所估定美好的價值丟給窯戶。」我便將這三十塊錢，在耶和華的殿中丟給窯戶了。
14 Then brake I mine other staffe, euen the Bandes, that I might dissolue the brotherhood betweene Iudah and Israel.
我又折斷稱為「聯索」的那根杖，表明我廢棄猶大與以色列弟兄的情誼。
15 And the Lord said vnto me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepheard.
耶和華又吩咐我說：「你再取愚昧牧人所用的器具，
16 For loe, I will rayse vp a shepheard in the land, which shall not looke for the thing, that is lost, nor seeke the tender lambes, nor heale that that is hurt, nor feede that that standeth vp: but he shall eate the flesh of the fat, and teare their clawes in pieces.
因我要在這地興起一個牧人。他不看顧喪亡的，不尋找分散的，不醫治受傷的，也不牧養強壯的；卻要吃肥羊的肉，撕裂牠的蹄子。
17 O idole shepheard that leaueth the flocke: the sword shalbe vpon his arme, and vpon his right eye. His arme shall be cleane dryed vp, and his right eye shall be vtterly darkened.
無用的牧人丟棄羊群有禍了！ 刀必臨到他的膀臂和右眼上。 他的膀臂必全然枯乾； 他的右眼也必昏暗失明。」
