Zechariah 11-
1
افتح ابوابك يا لبنان فتأكل النار ارزك.
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
-
2
ولول يا سرو لان الارز سقط لان الاعزاء قد خربوا. ولول يا بلوط باشان لان الوعر المنيع قد هبط.
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
صوت ولولة الرعاة لان فخرهم خرب. صوت زمجرة الاشبال لان كبرياء الاردن خربت.
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
هكذا قال الرب الهي ارع غنم الذبح
Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
-
5
الذين يذبحهم مالكوهم ولا يأثمون وبائعوهم يقولون مبارك الرب قد استغنيت. ورعاتهم لا يشفقون عليهم.
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
لاني لا اشفق بعد على سكان الارض يقول الرب بل هانذا مسلّم الانسان كل رجل ليد قريبه وليد ملكه فيضربون الارض ولا انقذ من يدهم
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
فرعيت غنم الذبح. لكنهم اذل الغنم. واخذت لنفسي عصوين فسميت الواحدة نعمة وسميت الاخرى حبالا ورعيت الغنم.
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
وابدت الرعاة الثلاثة في شهر واحد وضاقت نفسي بهم وكرهتني ايضا نفسهم.
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
-
9
فقلت لا ارعاكم. من يمت فليمت ومن يبد فليبد والبقية فلياكل بعضها لحم بعض
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
فاخذت عصاي نعمة وقصفتها لانقض عهدي الذي قطعته مع كل الاسباط.
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
فنقض في ذلك اليوم وهكذا علم اذل الغنم المنتظرون لي انها كلمة الرب.
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
فقلت لهم ان حسن في اعينكم فاعطوني اجرتي والا فامتنعوا. فوزنوا اجرتي ثلاثين من الفضة.
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
فقال لي الرب القها الى الفخاري الثمن الكريم الذي ثمنوني به. فاخذت الثلاثين من الفضة والقيتها الى الفخاري في بيت الرب.
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
ثم قصفت عصاي الاخرى حبالا لانقض الإخاء بين يهوذا واسرائيل
Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
-
15
فقال لي الرب خذ لنفسك بعد ادوات راع احمق.
And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
-
16
لاني هانذا مقيم راعيا في الارض لا يفتقد المنقطعين ولا يطلب المنساق ولا يجبر المنكسر ولا يربّي القائم ولكن ياكل لحم السمان وينزع اظلافها
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
ويل للراعي الباطل التارك الغنم. السيف على ذراعه وعلى عينه اليمنى. ذراعه تيبس يبسا وعينه اليمنى تكلّ كلولا
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.
