< Книга пророка Захарии 11 >
1 Разверзи, Ливане, двери твоя, и да пояст огнь кедры твоя:
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, and the fire shall eat on thy cedars.
2 да плачевопльствит питис, зане паде кедр, яко вельможи вельми обеднеша. Восплачевопльствите, дуби Васанитидстии, яко посечеся дубрава насажденная.
Wail, fir-tree; for fallen is the cedar; those that were mighty are despoiled: wail, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the impervious forest is come down.
3 Глас плачущих пастырей, яко возбедствова величие их: глас рыкающих львов, яко озлоблено бысть шатание Иорданово.
[There is] the noise of the wailing of the shepherds; for wasted is their glory: [there is] the noise of the roaring of young lions; for wasted is the pride of the Jordan.
4 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: пасите овцы заколения,
Thus hath said the Lord my God, Feed the flocks [that are destined for] 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.
Whom their buyers slay, and hold themselves guiltless; and whose sellers say, Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich: and none of whose shepherds have pity on 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.
For I will no more have pity on the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into the hand of his neighbor, and into the hand of his king: and they shall beat down the land, and I will not deliver 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 had fed the flocks [that were destined for] the slaughter, —indeed, the poorest of the flocks; and I had taken unto me two staves; the one I called Mildness [[No'am]], and the other I called Concord [[Choblim]]: and I fed the flocks.
8 И погублю три пастыри в месяц един, и отягчает душа Моя на ня: ибо души их рыкаху на Мя.
And I removed the three shepherds in one month; and my soul was tired of them, and also their soul abhorred me.
9 И рех: не имам пасти вас: умирающее да умрет, и изчезающее да изчезнет, и прочая да пояст кийждо плоть ближняго своего.
Then said I, I will not feed you: what is dying may die; and what is to be lost may be lost; and those that are left may eat every one the flesh of the other.
10 И прииму жезл Мой добрый и отвергу его еже разорити завет Мой, егоже завещах ко всем людем:
And I took my staff, namely, Mildness, and cut it to pieces, to annul my covenant which I had made with all the tribes.
11 и разорится в день оный, и уразумеют Хананее овцы хранимыя Мне, зане слово Господне есть.
And when it was annulled on that day, then knew they well, truly the poorest of the flocks that waited for me, that it was 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 said unto them, If it be good in your eyes, give me my reward; and if not, forbear. So they weighed out as my reward 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 unto me, Cast it unto the treasurer, the precious price which I am prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them in the house of the Lord unto the treasurer.
14 И отвергох жезл вторый уже, еже разорити завет иже посреде Иуды и посреде Израиля.
Then I cut in pieces my second staff, namely, Concord, to annul the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 И рече Господь ко мне: еще приими себе сосуды пастырски, пастыря неискусна:
And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish 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, lo, I raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not think of those that are lost, nor seek for that which is gone astray, nor heal that which hath [a limb] broken; who will not care for that which hath stood still; but who will eat the flesh of the fat, and devour all even to their claws.
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.
Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall utterly wither, and his right eye shall be completely blinded.
