Zacarías 11

1 Que se abran tus puertas, oh Líbano, para que arda fuego entre tus cedros.

Let your doors be open, O Lebanon, so that fire may be burning among your cedars.

2 Da un grito de dolor, oh abeto, por la caída del cedro, porque los grandes han sido abatidos; llora de dolor, oh robles de Basán, porque los fuertes árboles del bosque han sido derribados.

Give a cry of grief, O fir-tree, for the fall of the cedar, because the great ones have been made low: give cries of grief, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong trees of the wood have come down.

3 ¡El sonido del llanto de los pastores del rebaño! porque su gloria se desperdicia; ¡el sonido del fuerte llanto de los leoncillos! porque el orgullo de Jordania está destruida.

The sound of the crying of the keepers of the flock! for their glory is made waste: the sound of the loud crying of the young lions! for the pride of Jordan is made waste.

4 Esto es lo que el Señor mi Dios ha dicho: Cuida el rebaño destinadas al matadero;

This is what the Lord my God has said: Take care of the flock of death;

5 Cuyos dueños las mataron y no tienen sentido de pecado; y los que obtienen un precio por ellos dicen: Que el Señor sea alabado porque tengo mucha riqueza, y los pastores del rebaño no tienen piedad de ellos.

Whose owners put them to death and have no sense of sin; and those who get a price for them say, May the Lord be praised for I have much wealth: and the keepers of the flock have no pity for them.

6 Porque no tendré más piedad por la gente de la tierra, dice el Señor; pero entregaré a todos en la mano de su prójimo y en la mano de su rey; y harán que la tierra se desperdicie, y no los mantendré a salvo de sus manos.

For I will have no more pity for the people of the land, says the Lord; but I will give up everyone into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king: and they will make the land waste, and I will not keep them safe from their hands.

7 Así que cuidé del rebaño destinados a la muerte, a los afligidos del rebaño; y tomé para mí dos cayados, nombrando uno Gracia y el otro, Lazos; y me hice cargo del rebaño.

So I took care of the flock of death, for those who made profit out of the flock; and I took for myself two rods, naming one Beautiful, and the other Bands; and I took care of the flock.

8 Y en un mes puse fin a los tres pastores del rebaño; porque mi alma estaba cansada de ellos, y sus almas me aborrecían.

And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.

9 Y dije: No los cuidaré: La que ha de morir, que muera; si alguna se perdiera que se pierda; y que el resto tome la carne del otro como alimento.

And I said, I will not take care of you: If death comes to any, let death be its fate; if any is cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest take one another's flesh for food.

10 Y tomé mi cayado Gracia, quebrando en dos, para que se rompiera el acuerdo del Señor, que había hecho con todos los pueblos.

And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.

11 Y se rompió ese día él Pacto; y los comerciantes de ovejas, que me observaban, estaban seguros de que era la palabra del Señor.

And it was broken on that day: and the sheep-traders, who were watching me, were certain that it was the word of the Lord.

12 Y les dije: Si les parece bien, denme mi paga; y si no, déjenlo. Entonces, pesaron por mi salario, treinta siclos de plata.

And I said to them, If it seems good to you, give me my payment; and if not, do not give it. So they gave me my payment by weight, thirty shekels of silver.

13 Y el Señor me dijo: Ponlo en el alfolí, el precio al que me valoraron. Y tomé los treinta siclos de plata y los puse en el tesoro de la casa del Señor.

And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.

14 Entonces tomé mi otra vara, la que se llama lazos, y la quebré en dos, para que la relación de hermanos entre Judá e Israel se rompiera.

Then I took my other rod, the one named Bands, cutting it in two, so that the relation of brothers between Judah and Israel might be broken.

15 Y el Señor me dijo: Toma de nuevo los instrumentos de un insensato poseedor de ovejas.

And the Lord said to me, Take again the instruments of a foolish keeper of sheep.

16 Porque he aquí, pondré un pastor de ovejas sobre la tierra, que no se preocupará por las que perecen, y no irá en busca de los extraviadas, ni vendará a la que está herida, y no sustentará a la fuerte, sino que tomará por su comida la carne de la gordura, y les partirá los pezuñas.

For see, I will put a sheep-keeper over the land, who will have no care for that which is cut off, and will not go in search of the wanderers, or make well what is broken, and he will not give food to that which is ill, but he will take for his food the flesh of the fat, and let their feet be broken.

17 ¡Ay sobre el necio pastor que se aleja del rebaño! la espada caiga sobre su brazo y en su ojo derecho; su brazo se volverá bastante seco y su ojo se oscurecerá por completo.

A curse on the foolish keeper who goes away from the flock! the sword will be on his arm and on his right eye: his arm will become quite dry and his eye will be made completely dark.
