ゼカリヤ書 11
1 レバノンよ汝の門を啓き火をして汝の香柏を焚しめよ
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
2 松よ叫べ香柏は倒れ威嚴樹はそこなはれたりバシヤンの橡よ叫べ高らかなる林は倒れたり
Howl, fir-tree, for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are laid waste: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
3 牧者の叫ぶ聲あり其榮そこなはれたればなり猛き獅子の吼る聲ありヨルダンの叢そこなはれたればなり
[There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is laid waste.
4 我神ヱホバかく言たまふ宰らるべき羔を牧へ
Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
5 之を買ふ者は之を宰るとも罪なし之を賣る者は言ふ我富を得ればヱホバを祝すべしと其牧者もこれを惜まざるなり
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
6 ヱホバ言たまふ我かさねて地の居民を惜まじ視よ我人を各々その隣人の手に付しその王の手に付さん彼ら地を荒すべし我これを彼らの手より救ひ出さじ
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver [them].
7 我すなはち其宰らるべき羊を牧り是は最も憫然なる羊なり我みづから二本の杖を取り一を恩と名け一を結と名けてその羊を牧り
And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor of the flock. And I took to me two staffs; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
8 我一月に牧者三人を絶り我心に彼らを厭ひしが彼等も心に我を惡めり
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9 我いへり我は汝らを飼はじ死る者は死に絶るる者は絶れ遺る者は互にその肉を食ひあふべし
Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat, every one the flesh of another.
10 我恩といふ杖を取て之を折れり是諸の民に立し我契約を廢せんとてなりき
And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
11 是は其日に廢せられたり是に於てかの我に聽したがひし憫然なる羊は之をヱホバの言なりしと知れり
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it [was] the word of the LORD.
12 我彼らに向ひて汝等もし善と視なば我價を我に授けよ若しからずば止めよと言ければ彼等すなはち銀三十を權りて我價とせり
And I said to them, If ye think good, give [me] my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of silver.
13 ヱホバ我に言たまひけるは彼等に我が估價せられしその善價を陶人に投あたへよと我すなはち銀三十を取てヱホバの室に投いれて陶人に歸せしむ
And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
14 我また結といふ杖を折れり是ユダとイスラエルの間の和好を絶んとてなりき
Then I cut asunder my other staff, [even] Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 ヱホバ我に言たまはく汝また愚なる牧者の器を取れ
And the LORD said to me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 視よ我地に一人の牧者を興さん彼は亡ぶる者を顧みず迷へる者を尋ねず傷つける者を醫さず健剛なる者を飼はず肥たる者の肉を食ひ且その蹄を裂ん
For lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, [who] shall not visit those that are cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
17 其羊の群を棄る惡き牧者は禍なるかな劍その腕に臨みその右の目に臨まん其腕は全く枯えその右の目は全く盲れん
Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword [shall be] upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be wholly dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
