Zechariah 11

1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume your cedars!

1 黎巴嫩啊，打开你的门吧， 好让火焰吞噬你的香柏树。

2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees are ruined! Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has been cut down!

2 松树啊，哀号吧， 因为香柏树已经倒下， 挺拔的树木已被毁坏。 巴珊的橡树啊，哀号吧， 因为茂密的树林已被砍倒。

3 Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. Listen to the roaring of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.

3 听啊，牧人在哀号， 因为他们肥美的草场已被毁坏。 听啊，狮子在吼叫， 因为约旦河畔的丛林已被毁坏。

4 This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter,

4 我的上帝耶和华说：“你去牧养这群待宰的羊。

5 whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.

5 买羊的宰羊却不受惩罚，卖羊的说，‘耶和华当受称颂！我发财了。’它们的牧人毫不怜悯它们。

6 For I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land, declares the LORD, but behold, I will cause each man to fall into the hands of his neighbor and his king, who will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from their hands.”

6 我不再怜悯这地方的居民，我要使他们落在邻人及其君王手中，任这地方被摧毁，必不从敌人手中拯救他们。这是耶和华说的。”

7 So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.

7 于是，我牧养这群最困苦的待宰之羊。我拿了两根杖，一根叫“恩惠”，一根叫“联合”，开始牧养这群羊。

8 And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.

8 我在一个月之内除掉了三个牧人。 我厌烦羊群，他们也厌恶我。

9 Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another’s flesh.”

9 于是我说：“我不再牧养你们了。要死的就死吧，要亡的就亡吧，让剩下的互相吞吃吧。”

10 Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.

10 然后，我拿起那根叫“恩惠”的杖，把它折断，以废除我与万民所立的约。

11 It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

11 约就在当天废除了，那些注视着我的困苦羊便知道这是上帝的话。

12 Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.

12 我对他们说：“你们若认为好，就给我工钱，不然就算了。”于是，他们给了我三十块银子作工钱。

13 And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—this magnificent price at which they valued me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

13 耶和华对我说：“把这一大笔钱丢给窑户吧，这就是我在他们眼中的价值！”我便把三十块银子丢给圣殿中的窑户。

14 Then I cut in two my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

14 我又把那根叫“联合”的杖折断，以断开犹大和以色列之间的手足之情。

15 And the LORD said to me: “Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

15 耶和华又对我说：“你再拿起愚昧牧人的器具，

16 For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will neither care for the lost, nor seek the young, nor heal the broken, nor sustain the healthy, but he will devour the flesh of the choice sheep and tear off their hooves.

16 因为我要使一位牧人在地上兴起，他不照顾丧亡的，不寻找失散的，不医治受伤的，不牧养健壮的，反而吃肥羊的肉，撕掉它们的蹄子。

17 Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!”

17 “丢弃羊群的无用牧人有祸了！ 愿刀砍在他的臂膀和右眼上！ 愿他的臂膀彻底枯槁， 他的右眼完全失明！”
