Parallel
Zechariah 11
Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible
Gémis, cyprès, car le cèdre est tombé,
Wail, O cypress (note: Or pine or juniper or fir), for the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees are ruined! Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has been cut down!
Les bergers poussent des cris lamentables,
Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. Listen to the roaring of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.
Ainsi parle l’Éternel, mon Dieu:
This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter,
Ceux qui les achètent les égorgent impunément;
whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.
Car je n’ai plus de pitié pour les habitants du pays,
For I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land, declares the LORD, but behold, I will cause each man to fall into the hands of his neighbor and his king, who will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from their hands.”
Alors je me mis à paître les brebis destinées à la boucherie, assurément les plus misérables du troupeau. Je pris deux houlettes: j’appelai l’une Grâce, et j’appelai l’autre Union. Et je fis paître les brebis.
So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.
J’exterminai les trois pasteurs en un mois; mon âme était impatiente à leur sujet, et leur âme avait aussi pour moi du dégoût.
And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.
Et je dis: Je ne vous paîtrai plus! Que celle qui va mourir meure, que celle qui va périr périsse, et que celles qui restent se dévorent les unes les autres!
Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another’s flesh.”
Je pris ma houlette Grâce, et je la brisai, pour rompre mon alliance que j’avais traitée avec tous les peuples.
Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two (note: Or broke it; similarly in verse 14), revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
Elle fut rompue ce jour-là; et les malheureuses brebis, qui prirent garde à moi, reconnurent ainsi que c’était la parole de l’Éternel.
It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
Je leur dis: Si vous le trouvez bon, donnez-moi mon salaire; sinon, ne le donnez pas. Et ils pesèrent pour mon salaire trente sicles d’argent.
Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.
L’Éternel me dit: Jette-le au potier, ce prix magnifique auquel ils m’ont estimé! Et je pris les trente sicles d’argent, et je les jetai dans la maison de l’Éternel, pour le potier.
And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—this magnificent price at which they valued me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
Puis je brisai ma seconde houlette Union, pour rompre la fraternité entre Juda et Israël.
Then I cut in two my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
L’Éternel me dit: Prends encore l’équipage d’un pasteur insensé!
And the LORD said to me: “Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
Car voici, je susciterai dans le pays un pasteur qui n’aura pas souci des brebis qui périssent; il n’ira pas à la recherche des plus jeunes, il ne guérira pas les blessées, il ne soignera pas les saines; mais il dévorera la chair des plus grasses, et il déchirera jusqu’aux cornes de leurs pieds.
For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will neither care for the lost, nor seek the young, nor heal the broken, nor sustain the healthy, but he will devour the flesh of the choice sheep and tear off their hooves.
Malheur au pasteur de néant, qui abandonne ses brebis!
Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!”
