Zechariah 11:4-17
English Standard Version
4 Thus said the Lord my God: (A)“Become shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter. 5 (B)Those who buy them slaughter them and go unpunished, and those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, (C)I have become rich,’ and their own shepherds have no pity on them. 6 For (D)I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of this land, declares the Lord. Behold, I will cause each of them to fall into the hand of his neighbor, and each into the hand of his king, and they shall crush the land, and I will deliver none from their hand.”
7 (E)So I became the shepherd of the flock doomed to be slaughtered by the sheep traders. And I took two staffs, one I named (F)Favor, the other I named (G)Union. (H)And I tended the sheep. 8 In one month (I)I destroyed the three shepherds. But I became impatient with them, and they also detested me. 9 So I said, “I will not be your shepherd. (J)What is to die, let it die. What is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed. And let those who are left devour the flesh of one another.” 10 And I took (K)my staff Favor, and I broke it, annulling the covenant that I had made with all the peoples. 11 So it was annulled on that day, and the sheep traders, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the Lord. 12 Then I said to them, “If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” And they weighed out as my wages (L)thirty pieces of silver. 13 Then the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—(M)the lordly price at which I was priced by them. So I took the (N)thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord, to the potter. 14 Then I broke (O)my second staff Union, annulling the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Then the Lord said to me, “Take once more the equipment of (P)a foolish shepherd. 16 For behold, I am raising up in the land a shepherd (Q)who does not care for those being destroyed, or seek the young or heal the maimed or nourish the healthy, but (R)devours the flesh of the fat ones, tearing off even their hoofs.
17 (S)“Woe to my worthless shepherd,
(T)who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm
and (U)his right eye!
Let his arm be wholly withered,
his right eye utterly blinded!”

GOD’S WORD Translation
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.”

Los pastores inútiles
4 Así ha dicho Jehová mi Dios: Apacienta las ovejas de la matanza, 5 a las cuales matan sus compradores, y no se tienen por culpables; y el que las vende, dice: Bendito sea Jehová, porque he enriquecido; ni sus pastores tienen piedad de ellas. 6 Por tanto, no tendré ya más piedad de los moradores de la tierra, dice Jehová; porque he aquí, yo entregaré los hombres cada cual en mano de su compañero y en mano de su rey; y asolarán la tierra, y yo no los libraré de sus manos.
7 Apacenté, pues, las ovejas de la matanza, esto es, a los pobres del rebaño. Y tomé para mí dos cayados: al uno puse por nombre Gracia, y al otro Ataduras; y apacenté las ovejas. 8 Y destruí a tres pastores en un mes; pues mi alma se impacientó contra ellos, y también el alma de ellos me aborreció a mí. 9 Y dije: No os apacentaré; la que muriere, que muera; y la que se perdiere, que se pierda; y las que quedaren, que cada una coma la carne de su compañera. 10 Tomé luego mi cayado Gracia, y lo quebré, para romper mi pacto que concerté con todos los pueblos. 11 Y fue deshecho en ese día, y así conocieron los pobres del rebaño que miraban a mí, que era palabra de Jehová. 12 Y les dije: Si os parece bien, dadme mi salario; y si no, dejadlo. Y pesaron por mi salario treinta piezas de plata. 13 Y me dijo Jehová: Échalo al tesoro; ¡hermoso precio con que me han apreciado! Y tomé las treinta piezas de plata, y las eché en la casa de Jehová al tesoro.(A) 14 Quebré luego el otro cayado, Ataduras, para romper la hermandad entre Judá e Israel.
15 Y me dijo Jehová: Toma aún los aperos de un pastor insensato; 16 porque he aquí, yo levanto en la tierra a un pastor que no visitará las perdidas, ni buscará la pequeña, ni curará la perniquebrada, ni llevará la cansada a cuestas, sino que comerá la carne de la gorda, y romperá sus pezuñas. 17 ¡Ay del pastor inútil que abandona el ganado! Hiera la espada su brazo, y su ojo derecho; del todo se secará su brazo, y su ojo derecho será enteramente oscurecido.

Захария 11:4-17
Russian Synodal Version
4 Так говорит Господь Бог мой: паси овец, обреченных на заклание,
5 которых купившие убивают ненаказанно, а продавшие говорят: 'благословен Господь; я разбогател!' и пастухи их не жалеют о них.
6 Ибо Я не буду более миловать жителей земли сей, говорит Господь; и вот, Я предам людей, каждого в руки ближнего его и в руки царя его, и они будут поражать землю, и Я не избавлю от рук их.
7 И буду пасти овец, обреченных на заклание, овец поистине бедных. И возьму Себе два жезла, и назову один--благоволением, другой--узами, и ими буду пасти овец.
8 И истреблю трех из пастырей в один месяц; и отвратится душа Моя от них, как и их душа отвращается от Меня.
9 Тогда скажу: не буду пасти вас: умирающая--пусть умирает, и гибнущая--пусть гибнет, а остающиеся пусть едят плоть одна другой.
10 И возьму жезл Мой--благоволения и переломлю его, чтобы уничтожить завет, который заключил Я со всеми народами.
11 И он уничтожен будет в тот день, и тогда узнают бедные из овец, ожидающие Меня, что это слово Господа.
12 И скажу им: если угодно вам, то дайте Мне плату Мою; если же нет, --не давайте; и они отвесят в уплату Мне тридцать сребренников.
13 И сказал мне Господь: брось их в церковное хранилище, --высокая цена, в какую они оценили Меня! И взял Я тридцать сребренников и бросил их в дом Господень для горшечника.
14 И переломил Я другой жезл Мой--'узы', чтобы расторгнуть братство между Иудою и Израилем.
15 И Господь сказал мне: еще возьми себе снаряд одного из глупых пастухов.
16 Ибо вот, Я поставлю на этой земле пастуха, который о погибающих не позаботится, потерявшихся не будет искать и больных не будет лечить, здоровых не будет кормить, а мясо тучных будет есть и копыта их оторвет.
17 Горе негодному пастуху, оставляющему стадо! меч на руку его и на правый глаз его! рука его совершенно иссохнет, и правый глаз его совершенно потускнет.

2 Timothy 4:1-18
English Standard Version
Preach the Word
4 (A)I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, (B)who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (C)his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; (D)reprove, rebuke, and (E)exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 (F)For the time is coming when people will not endure (G)sound[a] teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and (H)will turn away from listening to the truth and (I)wander off into myths. 5 As for you, (J)always be sober-minded, (K)endure suffering, do the work of (L)an evangelist, (M)fulfill your ministry.
6 For (N)I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my (O)departure has come. 7 (P)I have fought the good fight, (Q)I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is (R)laid up for me (S)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, (T)the righteous judge, will award to me on (U)that day, and not only to me but also to all (V)who have loved his appearing.
Personal Instructions
9 (W)Do your best to come to me soon. 10 For (X)Demas, (Y)in love with (Z)this present world, (AA)has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia,[b] (AB)Titus to Dalmatia. 11 (AC)Luke alone is with me. Get (AD)Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry. 12 (AE)Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments. 14 (AF)Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; (AG)the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message. 16 At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. (AH)May it not be charged against them! 17 But (AI)the Lord stood by me and (AJ)strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and (AK)all the Gentiles might hear it. So (AL)I was rescued (AM)from the lion's mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. (AN)To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

GOD’S WORD Translation
Continue to Do Your Work
4 I solemnly call on you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge those who are living and those who are dead. I do this because Christ Jesus will come to rule ⌞the world⌟. 2 Be ready to spread the word whether or not the time is right. Point out errors, warn people, and encourage them. Be very patient when you teach.
3 A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. 4 People will refuse to listen to the truth and turn to myths.
5 But you must keep a clear head in everything. Endure suffering. Do the work of a missionary. Devote yourself completely to your work.
6 My life is coming to an end, and it is now time for me to be poured out as a sacrifice to God. 7 I have fought the good fight. I have completed the race. I have kept the faith. 8 The prize that shows I have God’s approval is now waiting for me. The Lord, who is a fair judge, will give me that prize on that day. He will give it not only to me but also to everyone who is eagerly waiting for him to come again.
Paul’s Final Instructions to Timothy
9 Hurry to visit me soon. 10 Demas has abandoned me. He fell in love with this present world and went to the city of Thessalonica. Crescens went to the province of Galatia, and Titus went to the province of Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you. He is useful to me in my work. 12 I’m sending Tychicus to the city of Ephesus as my representative.
13 When you come, bring the warm coat I left with Carpus in the city of Troas. Also bring the scrolls and especially the parchments.[a]
14 Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will pay him back for what he did. 15 Watch out for him. He violently opposed what we said. 16 At my first hearing no one stood up in my defense. Everyone abandoned me. I pray that it won’t be held against them. 17 However, the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that I could finish spreading the Good News for all the nations to hear. I was snatched out of a lion’s mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from all harm and will take me safely to his heavenly kingdom. Glory belongs to him forever! Amen.

Predica la palabra
4 Te encarezco delante de Dios y del Señor Jesucristo, que juzgará a los vivos y a los muertos en su manifestación y en su reino, 2 que prediques la palabra; que instes a tiempo y fuera de tiempo; redarguye, reprende, exhorta con toda paciencia y doctrina. 3 Porque vendrá tiempo cuando no sufrirán la sana doctrina, sino que teniendo comezón de oír, se amontonarán maestros conforme a sus propias concupiscencias, 4 y apartarán de la verdad el oído y se volverán a las fábulas. 5 Pero tú sé sobrio en todo, soporta las aflicciones, haz obra de evangelista, cumple tu ministerio.
6 Porque yo ya estoy para ser sacrificado, y el tiempo de mi partida está cercano. 7 He peleado la buena batalla, he acabado la carrera, he guardado la fe. 8 Por lo demás, me está guardada la corona de justicia, la cual me dará el Señor, juez justo, en aquel día; y no solo a mí, sino también a todos los que aman su venida.
Instrucciones personales
9 Procura venir pronto a verme, 10 porque Demas(A) me ha desamparado, amando este mundo, y se ha ido a Tesalónica. Crescente fue a Galacia, y Tito(B) a Dalmacia. 11 Solo Lucas(C) está conmigo. Toma a Marcos(D) y tráele contigo, porque me es útil para el ministerio. 12 A Tíquico(E) lo envié a Éfeso. 13 Trae, cuando vengas, el capote que dejé en Troas(F) en casa de Carpo, y los libros, mayormente los pergaminos. 14 Alejandro(G) el calderero me ha causado muchos males; el Señor le pague conforme a sus hechos. 15 Guárdate tú también de él, pues en gran manera se ha opuesto a nuestras palabras. 16 En mi primera defensa ninguno estuvo a mi lado, sino que todos me desampararon; no les sea tomado en cuenta. 17 Pero el Señor estuvo a mi lado, y me dio fuerzas, para que por mí fuese cumplida la predicación, y que todos los gentiles oyesen. Así fui librado de la boca del león. 18 Y el Señor me librará de toda obra mala, y me preservará para su reino celestial. A él sea gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

2-е Тимофею 4:1-18
Russian Synodal Version
4 Итак заклинаю тебя пред Богом и Господом нашим Иисусом Христом, Который будет судить живых и мертвых в явление Его и Царствие Его:
2 проповедуй слово, настой во время и не во время, обличай, запрещай, увещевай со всяким долготерпением и назиданием.
3 Ибо будет время, когда здравого учения принимать не будут, но по своим прихотям будут избирать себе учителей, которые льстили бы слуху;
4 и от истины отвратят слух и обратятся к басням.
5 Но ты будь бдителен во всем, переноси скорби, совершай дело благовестника, исполняй служение твое.
6 Ибо я уже становлюсь жертвою, и время моего отшествия настало.
7 Подвигом добрым я подвизался, течение совершил, веру сохранил;
8 а теперь готовится мне венец правды, который даст мне Господь, праведный Судия, в день оный; и не только мне, но и всем, возлюбившим явление Его.
9 Постарайся придти ко мне скоро.
10 Ибо Димас оставил меня, возлюбив нынешний век, и пошел в Фессалонику, Крискент в Галатию, Тит в Далматию; один Лука со мною.
11 Марка возьми и приведи с собою, ибо он мне нужен для служения.
12 Тихика я послал в Ефес.
13 Когда пойдешь, принеси фелонь, который я оставил в Троаде у Карпа, и книги, особенно кожаные.
14 Александр медник много сделал мне зла. Да воздаст ему Господь по делам его!
15 Берегись его и ты, ибо он сильно противился нашим словам.
16 При первом моем ответе никого не было со мною, но все меня оставили. Да не вменится им!
17 Господь же предстал мне и укрепил меня, дабы через меня утвердилось благовестие и услышали все язычники; и я избавился из львиных челюстей.
18 И избавит меня Господь от всякого злого дела и сохранит для Своего Небесного Царства, Ему слава во веки веков. Аминь.
