Zechariah 11
New International Version
11 Open your doors, Lebanon,(A)
so that fire(B) may devour your cedars!
2 Wail, you juniper, for the cedar has fallen;
the stately trees are ruined!
Wail, oaks(C) of Bashan;
the dense forest(D) has been cut down!(E)
3 Listen to the wail of the shepherds;
their rich pastures are destroyed!
Listen to the roar of the lions;(F)
the lush thicket of the Jordan is ruined!(G)
Two Shepherds
4 This is what the Lord my God says: “Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.(H) 5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Praise the Lord, I am rich!’ Their own shepherds do not spare them.(I) 6 For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land,” declares the Lord. “I will give everyone into the hands of their neighbors(J) and their king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue anyone from their hands.”(K)
7 So I shepherded the flock marked for slaughter,(L) particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock. 8 In one month I got rid of the three shepherds.
The flock detested(M) me, and I grew weary of them 9 and said, “I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish.(N) Let those who are left eat(O) one another’s flesh.”
10 Then I took my staff called Favor(P) and broke it, revoking(Q) the covenant I had made with all the nations. 11 It was revoked on that day, and so the oppressed of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of the Lord.
12 I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.(R)
13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver(S) and threw them to the potter at the house of the Lord.(T)
14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the family bond between Judah and Israel.
15 Then the Lord said to me, “Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hooves.

Deus castigará as outras nações
11 Líbano, abra as suas portas para que o fogo
consuma suas árvores de cedro.[a]
2 Árvore de cipreste, chore porque os cedros caíram.
Essas magníficas árvores foram destruídas.
Os carvalhos de Basã chorarão
porque a floresta foi destruída.
3 Escute o choro de tristeza dos pastores:
choram porque perderam toda a sua glória.
Escute o rugido dos leões:
rugem porque a floresta perto do rio Jordão foi destruída.
4 Então o SENHOR, meu Deus, me disse:
—Cuide do rebanho que vai ser sacrificado. 5 Os donos das ovelhas as matam e não são castigados. Os que vendem as ovelhas dizem: “Glória ao SENHOR, vou ser rico!” Os pastores não sentem compaixão pelas suas ovelhas. 6 Por isso não terei compaixão dos moradores de Judá. Vou fazer com que cada um deles fique debaixo do controle do seu vizinho e do seu rei. Deixarei que eles destruam a terra de vocês e não salvarei ninguém.
7 De forma que me dediquei a cuidar das ovelhas que iriam ser sacrificadas, especialmente as coitadinhas do rebanho. Tomei duas varas de pastor, eu chamei a uma de Graça e a outra de União, e com essas varas de pastor guiei as ovelhas. 8 Num só mês me livrei de três pastores, mas fiquei chateado com as ovelhas e elas também me desprezaram. 9 Então disse:
—Não cuidarei mais delas! Deixarei que morra a que iria morrer, que matem aquela que iriam matar e que as demais acabem umas com as outras.
10 Então tomei a vara chamada Graça e a quebrei para mostrar que a aliança de Deus com o seu povo estava quebrada. 11 Nesse momento, a aliança acabou. Os comerciantes de ovelhas que estavam me observando perceberam que isso era uma mensagem do SENHOR. 12 A seguir falei a eles:
—Se vocês acharem que é bom, paguem o meu salário; se vocês acharem que não é bom, então não façam isso.
Eles me pagaram trinta peças de prata. 13 Então o SENHOR me falou:
—Isso é o quanto eles acham que eu mereço! Jogue esse dinheiro na tesouraria do templo.
Então tomei as trinta peças de prata e as joguei[b] na tesouraria do templo do SENHOR. 14 A seguir quebrei a segunda vara, a que se chamava “União”, para demonstrar que a irmandade entre Judá e Israel tinha sido quebrada.
15 Logo depois o SENHOR me disse:
—Volte a trabalhar como pastor, mas, agora, você deverá se comportar como um pastor irresponsável. 16 Isso mostrará que irei escolher para esta terra um pastor que não se importará com as ovelhas perdidas. Um pastor que não procurará as ovelhas pequeninas, que não sarará as que estejam feridas, que não alimentará as saudáveis e que comerá a carne das ovelhas gordas, deixando só os cascos.
17 Que o mal caia sobre o pastor
que abandonou o meu rebanho!
Que uma espada atravesse seu braço
e uma faca fure seu olho direito!
Que seu braço fique paralisado
e seu olho direito fique cego!

Cei doi păstori
11 „Deschide-ţi porţile, Libanule,
ca să-ţi mănânce focul cedrii!
2 Vaită-te, chiparosule, căci cedrul a căzut,
cei falnici au fost distruşi!
Văitaţi-vă, stejari din Başan,
căci pădurea cea deasă a fost doborâtă!
3 Se aude vaietul păstorilor,
căci le-a fost distrusă gloria[a]!
Se aude răgetul puilor de lei,
căci a fost distrusă mândria[b] Iordanului.“
4 Aşa vorbeşte Domnul, Dumnezeul meu: „Păstoreşte oile care sunt pentru tăiere! 5 Cei ce le cumpără, le taie şi nu se simt vinovaţi, iar cei ce le vând, zic: «Binecuvântat să fie Domnul, căci ne-am îmbogăţit!» Nici chiar păstorii lor nu le cruţă! 6 Căci nu-i voi mai cruţa pe locuitorii ţării, zice Domnul, ci iată, îl voi da pe fiecare om pe mâna semenului său şi pe mâna regelui său! Ei vor devasta ţara, iar Eu n-o voi izbăvi din mâna lor.“
7 Am început să păstoresc oile care erau pentru tăiere, da, pe cele mai nenorocite oi din turmă. Am luat două toiege – pe unul l-am numit „Bunăvoinţă[c]“, iar pe celălalt l-am numit „Unire“ – şi am păstorit turma. 8 Într-o lună m-am descotorosit de cei trei păstori.
Sufletul meu nu i-a[d] mai răbdat, iar sufletul lor se scârbise şi el de mine! 9 Am zis: „Nu vă voi mai păstori! Cea care este pe moarte să moară, cea care este pentru tăiere să fie tăiată, iar cele ce vor rămâne, să se mănânce unele pe altele!“
10 Apoi mi-am luat toiagul numit „Bunăvoinţă“ şi l-am rupt, ca să rup astfel legământul pe care l-am încheiat cu toate popoarele. 11 A fost rupt în ziua aceea, iar oile cele nenorocite din turmă, care au luat seama la mine, au ştiut că acesta era Cuvântul Domnului.
12 Atunci le-am zis: „Dacă găsiţi cu cale, daţi-mi plata, dacă nu, nu mi-o daţi!“ Mi-au cântărit ca plată treizeci de arginţi[e].
13 Dar Domnul mi-a zis: „Aruncă olarului[f] preţul aceasta «scump»[g] la care am fost apreciat de către ei!“ Am luat cei treizeci de arginţi şi i-am aruncat olarului[h], în Casa Domnului.
14 Apoi am rupt şi cel de-al doilea toiag, numit „Unire“ , ca să rup astfel frăţia dintre Iuda şi Israel. 15 Domnul mi-a zis: „Ia din nou uneltele păstorului nebun! 16 Căci iată, voi ridica în ţară un păstor căruia nu-i va păsa de oile care pier; pe cea tânără n-o va căuta, pe cea rănită n-o va vindeca şi pe cea sănătoasă n-o va hrăni, ci va mânca carnea celor grase şi le va smulge copitele.
17 Vai de păstorul de nimic,
care îşi părăseşte turma!
Să cadă sabia peste braţul lui
şi pe ochiul lui cel drept!
Să i se usuce braţul în întregime
şi să-i orbească de tot ochiul drept!“

King James Version
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.
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.

Desolation of Israel
11 Open (A)your doors, O Lebanon,
That fire may devour your cedars.
2 Wail, O cypress, for the (B)cedar has fallen,
Because the mighty trees are ruined.
Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
(C)For the thick forest has come down.
3 There is the sound of wailing (D)shepherds!
For their glory is in ruins.
There is the sound of roaring lions!
For the [a]pride of the Jordan is in ruins.
Prophecy of the Shepherds
4 Thus says the Lord my God, “Feed the flock for slaughter, 5 whose owners slaughter them and (E)feel no guilt; those who sell them (F)say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich’; and their shepherds do (G)not pity them. 6 For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord. “But indeed I will give everyone into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They shall [b]attack the land, and I will not deliver them from their hand.”
7 So I fed the flock for slaughter, [c]in particular (H)the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called [d]Beauty, and the other I called [e]Bonds; and I fed the flock. 8 I [f]dismissed the three shepherds (I)in one month. My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 9 Then I said, “I will not feed you. (J)Let what is dying die, and what is perishing perish. Let those that are left eat each other’s flesh.” 10 And I took my staff, [g]Beauty, and cut it in two, that I might break the covenant which I had made with all the peoples. 11 So it was broken on that day. Thus (K)the[h] poor of the flock, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the Lord. 12 Then I said to them, “If it is [i]agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So they (L)weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the (M)potter”—that princely price they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter. 14 Then I cut in two my other staff, [j]Bonds, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 And the Lord said to me, (N)“Next, take for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd. 16 For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand. But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in (O)pieces.
17 “Woe(P) to the worthless shepherd,
Who leaves the flock!
A sword shall be against his arm
And against his right eye;
His arm shall completely wither,
And his right eye shall be totally blinded.”
