撒迦利亚书 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
羊群必遭杀戮
11 黎巴嫩啊，打开你的门吧，
好让火焰吞噬你的香柏树。
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 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 我的上帝耶和华说：“你去牧养这群待宰的羊吧。 5 买羊宰羊的不受惩罚，卖羊的说，‘耶和华当受称颂！我发财了。’它们的牧人不怜悯它们。 6 因此，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 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”，开始牧养羊群。 8 我在一个月之内除掉了三个牧人。
然而，我厌烦羊群，他们也厌恶我。 9 于是我说：“我不再牧养你们了。要死的就死吧，要灭亡的就灭亡吧，让剩下的互相吞吃吧。” 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 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 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 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 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 耶和华又对我说：“你再拿起愚昧牧人的器具， 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 “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！”
Zechariah 11
GOD’S WORD Translation
Zechariah Is Told to Take Care of the Sheep
11 Open your doors, Lebanon,
so that fire will be able to burn down your cedars.
2 Cry, cypress trees,
because the cedars have fallen
and the stately trees have been destroyed.
Cry, oak trees of Bashan,
because your dense forest has fallen down.
3 Listen! The shepherds are crying,
because their rich pastures are destroyed.
Listen! The young lions are roaring,
because the lush banks of the Jordan are destroyed.
4 This is what the Lord my God says: Take care of the sheep that are about to be slaughtered. 5 Those who buy them will kill them and go unpunished. Those who sell them will say, “Praise the Lord! I’ve become rich!” Even their own shepherds will have no pity on them.
6 The Lord declares, “I will no longer have pity on those who live in the land. I am going to hand the people over to their neighbors and their king, who will crush the land. And I won’t rescue any of them from their power.”
7 So I became the shepherd of the sheep that were to be slaughtered and also of the oppressed sheep. I took two shepherd staffs and named one Favor and the other Unity. And I took care of the sheep. 8 I got rid of three shepherds in one month. I became impatient with the sheep, and they also became disgusted with me. 9 So I said, “I won’t be your shepherd. Let those that are dying die. Let those that are missing stay missing. And let those that are left devour each other.”
10 Then I took my staff called Favor and broke it in pieces, to break the promise [a] that I had made to all the nations. 11 So it was broken on that day, and the oppressed among the sheep who were watching me realized that it was the Lord’s word.
12 Then I said to them, “If it’s alright with you, pay me my wages. But if it’s not, don’t.” And they paid me my wages—30 pieces of silver.
13 The Lord told me, “Give it to the potter.” So I took the 30 pieces of silver. Such a magnificent price was set by them! I gave the pieces of silver to the potter at the house of the Lord.
14 Then I broke my second staff, called Unity, in pieces, to break off the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Then the Lord said to me, “Use the equipment of a foolish shepherd again. 16 I’m about to place a shepherd in the land. He will not take care of those that are dying. He will not search for the young. He will not heal those that have broken their legs or support those that can still stand. But he will eat the meat of the fat animals and tear off their hoofs.
17 “How horrible it will be for the foolish shepherd who abandoned the sheep.
A sword will strike his arm and his right eye.
His arm will be completely withered.
His right eye will be completely blind.”
