Zechariah 11
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Διάνοιξον ὁ Λἵβανος τὰς θύρας σου, καὶ καταφαγέτω πῦρ τὰς κέδρους σου·
Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume your cedars!
ὀλολυξάτω πίτυς, διότι πέπτωκεν κέδρος, ὅτι μεγάλως μεγιστᾶνες ἐταλαιπώρησαν· ὀλολύξατε, δρύες τῆς Βασανείτιδος, ὅτι κατεσπάσθη ὁ δρυμὸς ὁ σύμφυτος. φωνὴ θρηνούντων ποιμένων, ὅτι τεταλαιπάώρηκεν ἡ μεγαλοσύνη αὐτῶν·
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!
φωνὴ ρυομένων λεόντων, ὅτι τεταλαιπώρηκεν τὸ φρύαγμα τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.
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.
τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Ποιμαίνετε τὰ πρόβατα τῆς σφαγῆς,
This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter,
ἄ οἱ κτησάμενοι κατέσφαζον καὶ οὐ μετεμέλοντο, καὶ οἱ πωλοῦντες αὐτὰ ἕλεγον Εὺλογητὸς Κύριος, καὶ πεπλουτήκαμεν· καὶ οἱ ποιμένες οὐτῶν οὐκ ἔπασχον οὐδὲν ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς.
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.
διὰ τοῦτο οὐ φείσομαι οὐκέτι ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, ἕκαστον εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατακόψουσιν τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλωμαι ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν.
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.”
καὶ ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατα τῆς σφαγῆςεἰς τὴν Καναανῖτιν· καὶ λήμψομαι ἐμαυτῷ δύο όάβδους, τὴν μέν μίαν ἐκάλεσα Κάλλος, καὶ τὴν ἑτέραν ἐκάλεσα Σχοίνισμα, καὶ ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατα.
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.
καὶ ἐξαρῶ τοὺς τρεῖς ποιμένας ἐν μηνὶ ἑνί, καὶ βαρυνθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ μου ἐπʼ αὐτούς, καὶ γὰρ αἱ ψυχαὶ αὐτῶν ἐπωρύοντο ἐπʼ ἐμέ.
And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.
καὶ εἶπα Οὐ ποιμανῶ ὑμᾶς· τὸ ἀποθνῆσκον ἀποθνησκέτω, καὶ τὸ ἐκλιπὸν ἐκλιπέτω, καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ κατεσθιέτωσαν ἕκαστος τὰς σάρκας τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ.
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.”
καὶ λήμψονται τὴν όάβδον μου τὴν καλήν, καὶ ἀπορρίψω τοῦ διασκεδάσαι τὴν διαθήκην μου ἣν διεθέμην πρὸς πάντας τοὺς λαούς·
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.
καὶ διασκεδασθήσεται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ γνώσονται οἱ Χαναναῖοι τὰ πρόβατα τὰ φυλασσόμενά μοι· διότι λόγος Κυρίου ἐστίν.
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.
καὶ ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτοὺς Εἰ καλὸν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἐστιν, δότε τὸν μισθόν μου ἤ ἀπείπασθε· καὶ ἔστησαν τὸν μισθόν μου τριάκοντα ἀργυροῦς.
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.
καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς μέ Κάθες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ χωνευτήριον, καὶ σκέψομαι εἰ δόκιμόν ἐστιν, ὃν τρόπου ἐδοκιμάσθη ὑπέρ αὐτῶν. καὶ ἔλαβον τοὺς τριάκοντα ἀργυροῦς καὶ ἐνέβαλον αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου εἰς τὸ χαονευτήριον.
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.
καὶ ἀπέρριψα τὴν όάβδον τὴν δευτέραν, τὸ σχοίνισμα, τοῦ διασκεδάσαι τὴν κατάσχεσιν ἀνὰ μέσου Ἰούδα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἰσραήλ.
Then I cut in two my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Καὶ εἶπευ Κύριος πρὸς μέ Ἔτι λάβε σεαυτῷ σκεύη ποιμενικὰ ποιμένος ἀπείρου.
And the LORD said to me: “Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
βιότι ἰδοὺ ἐξεγείρω ποιμένα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· τὸ ἐκλιμπάνον οὐ μὴ ἐπισκέψηται, καὶ τὸ ἐσκορπισμένον οὐ μὴ ζητήσῃ, καὶ τὸ συντετριμμένον οὐ μὴ ἰάσηται, καὶ τὸ ὁλόκληρον οὐ μὴ κατευθύνῃ, καὶ τὰ κρέα τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν καταφάγεται, καὶ τοὺς ἀστραγάλους αὐτῶν ἐκστρέψει.
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.
ὢ οἱ ποιμαίνοντες τὰ μάταια καὶ καταλελοιπότες τὰ πρόβατα· μάχαιρα ἐπὶ τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ὀφθαλαὸν τὸν δεξιὸν αὐτοῦ· ὁ βραχίων αὐτοῦ ξηραινόμενος ξηρανθήσεται, καὶ ὀφθαλμὸς ὁ δεξιὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκτυφλούμενος ἐκτυφλωθήσεται.
