Zacarías 11
1¡Abre, oh Líbano, tus puertas, y devore el fuego tus cedros! Open your gates, Lebanon, and let fire consume your cedars.2¡Aúlla, oh abeto, porque ha caído el cedro, porque han sido derribados los (árboles) magníficos! ¡Aullad, encinas de Basán, porque destruido ha sido el bosque inaccesible! Howl, you fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the magnificent have been devastated. Howl, you oaks of Bashan, because the secure forest passage has been cut down.3Se oyen los lamentos de los pastores, por la ruina de lo que era su gloria; retumban los rugidos de los leoncillos, porque ha sido destruida la gloria del Jordán. The voice of the howling of the shepherds: for their magnificence has been devastated. The voice of the roaring of the lions: because the arrogance of the Jordan has been devastated.4Así dice Yahvé, mi Dios: “Apacienta las ovejas del matadero; Thus says the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,5cuyos compradores las matan impunemente, y cuyos vendedores dicen: «¡Bendito sea Yahvé, pues me he hecho rico!» y los pastores no les tienen compasión. which those who possessed them cut down, and they did not feel sorrow, and they sold them, saying: “Blessed be the Lord; we have become wealthy. Even their shepherds did not spare them.”6Así tampoco Yo me apiadaré de los habitantes de esta tierra, dice Yahvé. He aquí que entregaré a los hombres, los unos en manos de otros y en poder de su rey; ellos desolarán la tierra, y Yo no (los) libraré de su mano. And so, I will no longer spare the inhabitants upon the earth, says the Lord. Behold, I will deliver men, each one into the hand of his neighbor and into the hand of his king. And they will cut down the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand.7Apacenté las ovejas del matadero, porque eran las ovejas más pobres; y tomé dos cayados; al uno le llamé Gracia, y al otro Unión; y apacenté el rebaño. And I will pasture the flock of the slaughter, because of this, O poor of the flock. And I took to myself two staffs: the one I called Handsome, and the other I called Rope, and I pastured the flock.8Y di muerte a tres pastores en un mes. Entonces perdí la paciencia con las ovejas, y también ellas estaban cansadas de mí. And I cut down three shepherds in one month. And my soul became contracted concerning them, just as their soul also varied concerning me.9Y dije: “No os apacentaré más; la que debe morir, que muera; la que debe perderse, que se pierda. Y las restantes, que se coman unas a otras.” And I said: I will not pasture you. Whatever dies, let it die. And whatever is cut down, let it be cut down. And let the rest of them devour, each one the flesh of his neighbor.10Y tomé mi cayado Gracia, y lo rompí, para anular mi alianza que había hecho con todos los pueblos. And I took my staff, which was called Handsome, and I tore it apart, so as to invalidate my pact, which I had struck with all of the people.11Y quedó anulado en aquel día; y así aquellos más pobres del rebaño que hacían caso de mí, conocieron que era palabra de Yahvé. And it became invalid in that day. And so they understood, just like the poor of the flock who stay close to me, that this is the word of the Lord.12Y les dije: “Si os parece justo, pagad mi salario; y si no, dejadlo.” Y ellos pesaron mi salario; treinta (monedas) de plata. And I said to them: If it is good in your eyes, bring me my wages. And if not, remain still. And they weighed for my wages thirty silver coins.13Entonces Yahvé me dijo: “¡Tira al alfarero ese lindo precio en que me estimaron!” Tomé las treinta (monedas) de plata, y las tiré al alfarero en la Casa de Yahvé. And the Lord said to me: Cast it towards the statuary, the handsome price at which I have been valued by them. And I took the thirty silver coins, and I cast them into the house of the Lord, towards the statuary.14Luego rompí el otro cayado, Unión, para romper la hermandad entre Judá e Israel. And I cut short my second staff, which was called Rope, so that I might dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.15Y Yahvé me dijo: “Toma también el pertrecho de un pastor insensato. And the Lord said to me: Still they are to you the equipment of a foolish shepherd.16Pues he aquí que suscitaré en la tierra un pastor que no cuidará de las (ovejas) que se pierden, que no buscará las descarriadas; ni curará las heridas, ni alimentará a las que están sanas; sino que comerá la carne de las gordas y les romperá las pezuñas. For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish what remains standing, and he will consume the flesh of the fatted ones and break their hoofs.17¡Ay del pastor inútil, que abandona el rebaño! ¡Espada sobre su brazo, y sobre su ojo derecho! ¡Que se seque completamente su brazo y oscurézcase del todo su ojo derecho!” O shepherd and idol, abandoning the flock, with a sword upon his arm and over his right eye: his arm will be withered by drought, and his right eye will be obscured by darkness.
