Книга пророка Захарии 11
1 Разверзи, Ливане, двери твоя, и да пояст огнь кедры твоя:
Open your doors, O Libanus, and let the fire devour your cedars.
2 да плачевопльствит питис, зане паде кедр, яко вельможи вельми обеднеша. Восплачевопльствите, дуби Васанитидстии, яко посечеся дубрава насажденная.
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.
3 Глас плачущих пастырей, яко возбедствова величие их: глас рыкающих львов, яко озлоблено бысть шатание Иорданово.
[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.
4 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: пасите овцы заколения,
Thus says the Lord Almighty, Feed the sheep of the slaughter;
5 яже стяжавшии закалаху и не раскаявахуся, и продающии я глаголаху: благословен Господь, и обогатихомся: и пастырие их не печахуся ни чимже о них.
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.
6 Сего ради не пощажду ктому на живущих на земли, глаголет Господь: и се, Аз предам человеки, коегождо в руце искреннему его и в руце царю своему: и изсекут землю, и не имам изяти от руки их.
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.
7 И упасу овцы заколения в земли Ханаани: и прииму Себе два жезла, единаго нарекох доброту, а другаго нарекох уже, и упасу овцы.
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.
8 И погублю три пастыри в месяц един, и отягчает душа Моя на ня: ибо души их рыкаху на Мя.
And I will cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against me.
9 И рех: не имам пасти вас: умирающее да умрет, и изчезающее да изчезнет, и прочая да пояст кийждо плоть ближняго своего.
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.
10 И прииму жезл Мой добрый и отвергу его еже разорити завет Мой, егоже завещах ко всем людем:
And I will take my beautiful staff, and cast it away, that I may break my covenant which I made with all the people.
11 и разорится в день оный, и уразумеют Хананее овцы хранимыя Мне, зане слово Господне есть.
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.
12 И реку к ним: аще добро пред вами есть, дадите мзду Мою, или отрецытеся. И поставиша мзду Мою тридесять сребреник.
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.
13 И рече Господь ко мне: вложи я в горнило и смотри, аще искушено есть, имже образом искушен бых о них. И приях тридесять сребреник и вложих их в храм Господень в горнило.
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.
14 И отвергох жезл вторый уже, еже разорити завет иже посреде Иуды и посреде Израиля.
And I cast away [my] second rod, [even] Line, that I might break the possession between Juda and Israel.
15 И рече Господь ко мне: еще приими себе сосуды пастырски, пастыря неискусна:
And the Lord said to me, Take yet to you shepherd's implements belonging to an unskillful shepherd.
16 зане, се, Аз воздвигну пастыря на землю: погибающаго не посетит и расточеннаго не имать взыскати, и сокрушеннаго не имать изцелити и здраваго не имать направити, и мяса избранных пояст и глезны их извиет.
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].
17 О, пасущии суетная и оставльшии овец! Мечь на мышцу его и на око ему десное: мышца его изсыхающи изсхнет, и око ему десное ослепая ослепнет.
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.
