Zacarías 11
Zürcher Bibel 1931
1Tue auf, Libanon, deine Tore, dass Feuer deine Zedern verzehre!
2Wehklage, Zypresse! denn die Zeder ist gefallen, die Gewaltigen sind vernichtet. Wehklagt, ihr Eichen Basans! denn der Bannwald ist gefällt. (a) Jes 2:13
3Horch! die Hirten wehklagen; denn verwüstet ist ihre Herrlichkeit. Horch! es brüllen die Löwen; denn verwüstet ist die Pracht des Jordan.
4SO spricht der Herr, mein Gott: Weide die Schlachtschafe,
5deren Käufer sie schlachten und es nicht büssen, deren Verkäufer sprechen: "Gott sei gelobt! Ich bin reich geworden", und deren Hirten ihrer nicht schonen.
6Denn ich will fortan der Bewohner der Erde nicht schonen, spricht der Herr, sondern siehe, ich überliefere die Menschen einen jeden in die Hand seines Hirten und in die Hand seines Königs, und die werden die Erde verheeren, und niemanden rette ich aus ihrer Hand.
7Und ich weidete die Schlachtschafe für die Schafhändler. Und ich nahm mir zwei Stäbe; den einen nannte ich "Huld", den andern nannte ich "Verbindung", und so weidete ich die Schafe,
8und ich tat in einem Monat die drei Hirten hinweg. Dann verlor ich die Geduld mit ihnen, und auch sie wurden meiner überdrüssig.
9Und ich sprach: Ich mag euch nicht weiden; was sterben will, das sterbe, und was verkommen will, verkomme, und von denen, die übrigbleiben, fresse eines des andern Fleisch!
10Und ich nahm meinen Stab "Huld" und zerbrach ihn, zu lösen den Bund, den ich mit allen Völkern geschlossen hatte;
11und am selben Tage ward er gelöst. Da erkannten die Schafhändler, die scharf auf mich achteten, dass es das Wort des Herrn war.
12Und ich sprach zu ihnen: Beliebt es euch, so gebt mir meinen Lohn, wo nicht, so lasst es bleiben. Da wogen sie mir meinen Lohn dar, dreissig Lot Silber.
13Der Herr aber sprach zu mir: Wirf ihn in den Schatz, den herrlichen Preis, dessen sie dich wertgeachtet haben. Da nahm ich die dreissig Lot Silber und warf sie in den Schatz im Hause des Herrn.
14Dann zerbrach ich auch meinen zweiten Stab "Verbindung", zu lösen die Verbrüderung zwischen Juda und Israel. (1) aL: "Jerusalem".
15Darnach sprach der Herr zu mir: Nochmals nimm dir das Gerät eines ruchlosen Hirten.
16Denn siehe, ich lasse einen Hirten im Lande erstehen, der des Verkommenen nicht achtet, das Versprengte nicht sucht und das Zerbrochne nicht heilt, der das Gesunde nicht versorgt, sondern das Fleisch des Gemästeten verzehrt und ihre Klauen zerreisst.
17Wehe über den nichtsnutzigen Hirten, der die Schafe verlässt! Verderben über seinen Arm und sein rechtes Auge! Sein Arm soll gänzlich verdorren, und sein rechtes Auge soll völlig erlöschen!
Reina-Valera 1909
1OH Líbano, abre tus puertas, y queme fuego tus cedros.
2Aulla, oh haya, porque el cedro cayó, porque los magníficos son talados. Aullad, alcornoques de Basán, porque el fuerte monte es derribado.
3Voz de aullido de pastores, porque su magnificencia es asolada; estruendo de bramidos de cachorros de leones, porque la soberbia del Jordán es destruída.
4Así ha dicho Jehová mi Dios: Apacienta las ovejas de la matanza;
5A las cuales mataban sus compradores, y no se tenían por culpables; y el que las vendía, decía: Bendito sea Jehová, que he enriquecido; ni sus pastores tenían piedad de ellas.
6Por tanto, no más tendré 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 quebrantarán la tierra, y yo no libraré de sus manos.
7Apacenté pues las ovejas de la matanza, es á saber, los pobres del rebaño. Y me tomé dos cayados; al uno puse por nombre Suavidad, y al otro Ataduras; y apacenté las ovejas.
8E hice matar tres pastores en un mes, y mi alma se angustió por ellos, y también el alma de ellos me aborreció á mí.
9Y dije: No os apacentaré; la que muriere, muera; y la que se perdiere, se pierda; y las que quedaren, que cada una coma la carne de su compañera.
10Tomé luego mi cayado Suavidad, y quebrélo, para deshacer mi pacto que concerté con todos los pueblos.
11Y fué deshecho en ese día, y así conocieron los pobres del rebaño que miran á mí, que era palabra de Jehová.
12Y díjeles: Si os parece bien, dadme mi salario; y si no, dejadlo. Y pesaron para mi salario treinta piezas de plata.
13Y díjome Jehová: Echalo al tesorero, hermoso precio con que me han apreciado. Y tomé las treinta piezas de plata, y echélas en la casa de Jehová al tesorero.
14Quebré luego el otro mi cayado Ataduras, para romper la hermandad entre Judá é Israel.
15Y díjome Jehová: Toma aún el hato de un pastor insensato;
16Porque he aquí, yo levanto pastor en la tierra, que no visitará las perdidas, no buscará la pequeña, no curará la perniquebrada, ni llevará la cansada á cuestas; sino que se comerá la carne de la gruesa, y romperá sus uñas.
17Mal haya el pastor de nada, que deja el ganado. Espada sobre su brazo, y sobre su ojo derecho: del todo se secará su brazo, y enteramente será su ojo derecho oscurecido.
King James Version
1Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
2Howl, 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.
3There 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.
4Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
5Whose 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.
6For 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.
7And 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.
8Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9Then 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.
10And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
11And 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.
12And 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.
13And 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.
14Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16For, 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.
17Woe 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.
World English Bible
1Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
2Wail, cypress tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.
3A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyed—a voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
4The LORD my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
5Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.
6For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the LORD; “but, behold, I will deliver every one of the men into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”
7So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor” and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.
8I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
9Then I said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.”
10I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
11It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the LORD’s word.
12I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
13The LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter—the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the LORD’s house.
14Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15The LORD said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the meat of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
17Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will strike his arm and his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”
