Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, Lebanon, that fire may devour your cedars!
黎巴嫩哪，开开你的门， 任火烧灭你的香柏树。
2 Lament, cypress trees, for the cedar trees have fallen! What was majestic has been devastated! Lament, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has gone down.
松树啊，应当哀号； 因为香柏树倾倒，佳美的树毁坏。 巴珊的橡树啊，应当哀号， 因为茂盛的树林已经倒了。
3 The shepherds howl, for their glory has been destroyed! The voice of the young lions' roar, for the pride of the Jordan River has been devastated!
听啊，有牧人哀号的声音， 因他们荣华的草场毁坏了。 有少壮狮子咆哮的声音， 因约旦河旁的丛林荒废了。
4 This is what Yahweh my God says, “Like a shepherd, watch over the flock set aside for slaughter!
耶和华—我的 神如此说：“你—撒迦利亚要牧养这将宰的群羊。
5 (The ones who buy them slaughter them and are not punished, and the ones who sell them say, 'Blessed be Yahweh! I have become rich!' for the shepherds working for the flocks' owners have no pity on them.)
买他们的宰了他们，以自己为无罪；卖他们的说：‘耶和华是应当称颂的，因我成为富足。’牧养他们的并不怜恤他们。
6 For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land!—this is Yahweh's declaration. See! I myself am about to turn over every person into the hand of his neighbor and into the hand of his king, and they will destroy the land and none of them will I deliver them from their hand.”
耶和华说：‘我不再怜恤这地的居民，必将这民交给各人的邻舍和他们王的手中。他们必毁灭这地，我也不救这民脱离他们的手。’”
7 So I became the shepherd of the flock marked for slaughter, for those who dealt in sheep. I took two staffs; one staff I called “Favor” and the other I called “Unity.” In this way I shepherded the flock.
于是，我牧养这将宰的群羊，就是群中最困苦的羊。我拿着两根杖，一根我称为“荣美”，一根我称为“联索”。这样，我牧养了群羊。
8 In one month I destroyed the three shepherds. I became impatient with them, and they also hated me.
一月之内，我除灭三个牧人，因为我的心厌烦他们；他们的心也憎嫌我。
9 Then I said to the owners, “I will not work as a shepherd for you any longer. The sheep that are dying—let them die; the sheep that are being destroyed—let them be destroyed. Let the sheep that remain each eat the flesh of its neighbor.”
我就说：“我不牧养你们。要死的，由他死；要丧亡的，由他丧亡；余剩的，由他们彼此相食。”
10 So I took my staff “Favor” and broke it to break the covenant that I had made with all of my tribes.
我折断那称为“荣美”的杖，表明我废弃与万民所立的约。
11 On that day the covenant was broken, and those who dealt in sheep and who were watching me knew that Yahweh had spoken.
当日就废弃了。这样，那些仰望我的困苦羊就知道所说的是耶和华的话。
12 I said to them, “If it seems good to you, pay me my wages. But if not, do not do it.” So they weighed out my wages—thirty pieces of silver.
我对他们说：“你们若以为美，就给我工价。不然，就罢了！”于是他们给了三十块钱作为我的工价。
13 Then Yahweh said to me, “Deposit the silver in the treasury, the excellent price at which they valued you!” So I took the thirty pieces of silver and deposited them in the treasury in the house of Yahweh.
耶和华吩咐我说：“要把众人所估定美好的价值丢给窑户。”我便将这三十块钱，在耶和华的殿中丢给窑户了。
14 Then I broke my second staff, “Unity,” to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
我又折断称为“联索”的那根杖，表明我废弃犹大与以色列弟兄的情谊。
15 Yahweh said to me, “Again, take the equipment of a foolish shepherd for yourself,
耶和华又吩咐我说：“你再取愚昧牧人所用的器具，
16 for see, I am about to set in place a shepherd in the land. He will not care for the perishing sheep. He will not seek out the sheep gone missing, nor heal the crippled sheep. He will not feed the sheep that are healthy, but will eat the flesh of the fattened sheep and will tear off their hooves.
因我要在这地兴起一个牧人。他不看顾丧亡的，不寻找分散的，不医治受伤的，也不牧养强壮的；却要吃肥羊的肉，撕裂它的蹄子。
17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who forsakes the flock! May the sword come against his arm and his right eye! May his arm wither away and may his right eye become blind!”
无用的牧人丢弃羊群有祸了！ 刀必临到他的膀臂和右眼上。 他的膀臂必全然枯干； 他的右眼也必昏暗失明。”
