Zechariah 11
1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
黎巴嫩! 打開你的門，讓火來吞滅你的香柏!
2 Wail, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are laid waste: wail, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
松樹，哀號吧! 因為香柏已被伐倒，高大者已被摧毀；巴商的橡樹，哀號吧! 因為不可深入的樹林全已倒下。
3 There is a voice of the wailing of the shepherds; for their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is laid waste.
聽，牧人在哀號，因為他們的的光榮己被破壞；聽，幼獅在咆哮，因為約旦的豪華已遭摧毀。
4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
上主，我的天主這樣說：「你要牧放這待宰的羊群!
5 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.
那些購買牠們來宰殺的，以為無過；那賣出他們的的還說；上主應受讚美，因為我成了富翁! 那牧放牠們的，毫不憐惜牠們。
6 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 neighbour’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.
我也決不再憐恤這地上的居民──上主的斷語；看，我要將每個人交在他的的牧人手中．和他的君王手中，讓他們毀滅這地， 決不由他們手中搶救。
7 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.
這樣我就代替賣羊人牧放待宰的羊群。我取了兩根棍杖：一根我稱它為「愛護」，一根我叫它作「聯合」；我這樣牧放了羊群。
8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
在一個月內，我竟廢除了三個牧人；終於我的人神也厭煩了羊群，而他們的心也厭惡我。
9 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.
我於是說：我不願再失放你們：那要死的，就讓他死去；那要喪亡的，就讓他喪亡；那劓剩下的，就讓他們彼此吞食。
10 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.
以後，我就拿起我的棍杖「愛護」，把它折斷，藉以廢除我與眾百姓所結的盟約。
11 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.
盟約便在那一天廢除了；於是那些注視我的羊販子，便知道這是上主的話。
12 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.
以後，我對他們說：如果你們看著好，就給我工資，不然，就算了。他們於是衡量了二十兩銀子作我的工資。
13 And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter: a magnificent price that I was valued at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
那時上主對我說：「你把他們對我所佔計的高價投入寶內! 我就是拿了那三十兩銀子，投入上主殿內寶庫裏
14 Then I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
我又折斷我的另一根棍杖「聯合」，藉以廢除與以色列間的手足情誼。
15 And the LORD said to me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
上主又對我說：「你再取一套愚昧收入的服裝，
16 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.
因為．看，我將在地上興起一個牧人：那喪失的，他不去尋找；那迷途的，他不去搜索；那受傷的，他不去醫治；那病弱的，他不去扶持；卻要擇肥而食，並且剝去牠們的蹄子。
17 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.
禍哉! 那拋棄羊群的愚昧牧人! 願刀劍落在他的臂膊和他的右眼上! 願他的臂膊枯槁! 願他的右眼完全失明!
