Zacarias 11
Magandang Balita Biblia
11 Pintuan mo ay ibukas, lupain ng Lebanon,
upang lamunin ng apoy ang iyong mga sedar.
2 Magsitaghoy kayo, mga puno ng sipres
pagkat bumagsak na ang sedar,
ang mararangal na punong iyon.
Managhoy rin kayo, mga ensina ng Bashan,
pagkat nahawan na ang madilim na kagubatan.
3 Gayon na lamang ang pagtangis ng mga pinuno,
pagkat karangalan nila'y parang biglang naglaho.
Atungal ng mga leon, iyong pakinggan,
pagkat gubat ng Jordan ay nasira na't nahawan.
Ang mga Pastol na Walang Kabuluhan
4 Sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh na aking Diyos, “Ikaw ang mag-alaga sa mga tupa kong papatayin. 5 Pinapatay lamang sila ng nag-aalaga sa kanila ngunit hindi napaparusahan ang mga ito. Ang karne ay ipinagbibili at pagkatapos ay kanilang sinasabi, ‘Purihin si Yahweh! Mayaman na tayo ngayon.’ Maging ang mga pastol ay hindi rin naawa sa kanila. 6 Hindi ko na kahahabagan ang mga tao sa lupaing ito. Pababayaan ko silang mahulog sa kamay ng kanilang kapwa. Wawasakin nila ang lahat ng bansa, isa ma'y wala akong ililigtas!”
7 Kinuha ako ng mga mamimili upang mag-alaga sa binili nilang tupang papatayin. Kumuha ako ng tungkod; ang isa'y pinangalanan kong Kabutihang Loob, at ang isa nama'y Pagkakaisa. At inalagaan ko nga ang kawan. 8 Sa loob ng isang buwan, tatlong pastol na ang pinaalis ko pagkat naubos na ang pasensiya ko sa kanila. Sila naman ay nasuklam sa akin. 9 Sinabi ko sa kawan, “Mula ngayon, di ko na kayo aalagaan, mamatay na kung sino ang mamamatay sa inyo at mapahamak na kung sino ang mapapahamak. At ang matira ay pababayaan kong mag-away-away. 10 Binali ko ang tungkod na tinawag kong Kabutihang Loob upang ipakilalang wala nang kabuluhan ang kasunduan namin ng mga mamimili. 11 Nang araw ngang yaon, sinira ko ang tipan at nalaman ng mga mamimiling nanonood sa akin noon na ang sinabi ko'y buhat kay Yahweh. 12 Sinabi(A) (B) ko sa kanila, “Kung gusto ninyong ibigay ang aking sahod, salamat; kung ayaw ninyo, sa inyo na lang.” At binigyan nila ako ng tatlumpung pirasong pilak bilang sahod.
13 Pagkatapos, sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, “Ilagay mo iyan sa kabang-yaman ng Templo.”[a] Kaya't kinuha ko ang tatlumpung pirasong pilak bilang pasahod nila sa akin, at ganoon nga ang aking ginawa. 14 Pagkatapos, binali ko rin ang tungkod na tinawag kong Pagkakaisa upang ipakitang wala nang pagkakaisa ang Juda at Israel.
15 Sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, “Mag-ayos kang tulad ng isang pastol na walang kabuluhan. 16 Ang bayan ay bibigyan ko ng isang pastol na walang pagpapahalaga sa mga nawawala, hindi maghahanap sa naligaw, hindi hihilot sa napilayan, ni mag-aalaga sa maysakit. Bagkus, uubusin niya ang matataba, saka itatapon ang buto nito. 17 Kawawa ang pastol na walang kabuluhan at nagpapabaya sa kawan. Isang tabak ang tatama sa kanyang kamay at kanang mata. Ang kamay niya'y mawawalan ng lakas, at mabubulag ang kanang mata.”

BRG Bible
11 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
3 ¶ There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
4 Thus saith the Lord my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
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.
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.
7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
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.
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.
12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
13 And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.(A)
14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 ¶ And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
