Zechariah 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars!	1 Aperi, Libane, portas tuas, et comedat ignis cedros tuas.
2 Wail, you cypress trees, for the cedars are fallen, the mighty have been despoiled. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the impenetrable forest is cut down!	2 Ulula, abies, quia cecidit cedrus, quoniam magnifici vastati sunt; ululate, quercus Basan, quoniam corruit saltus impervius.
3 Hark! the wailing of the shepherds, their glory has been ruined. Hark! the roaring of the young lions, the jungle of the Jordan is laid waste.	3 Vox ululatus pastorum, quia vastata est magnificentia eorum; vox rugitus leonum, quoniam vastata est superbia Iordanis.
4 Thus said the LORD, my God: Shepherd the flock to be slaughtered.	4 Haec dicit Dominus Deus meus: “ Pasce pecora occisionis.
5 For they who buy them slay them with impunity; while those who sell them say, "Blessed be the LORD, I have become rich!" Even their own shepherds do not feel for them.	5 Quae, qui emunt,occidunt et non dolent; et, qui vendunt ea, dicunt: “Benedictus Dominus! Divesfactus sum”. Et pastores eorum non miserentur eorum.
6 (Nor shall I spare the inhabitants of the earth any more, says the LORD. Yes, I will deliver each of them into the power of his neighbor, or into the power of his king; they shall crush the earth, and I will not deliver it out of their power.)	6 Et ego non miserebor ultra super habitantes terram, dicit Dominus; ecce egotradam homines, unumquemque in manu proximi sui et in manu regis sui; etconcident terram, et non eruam de manu eorum ”.
7 So I became the shepherd of the flock to be slaughtered for the sheep merchants. I took two staffs, one of which I called "Favor," and the other, "Bonds," and I fed the flock.	7 Et ego pavi pecus occisionis pro mercatoribus gregis. Et assumpsi mihi duasvirgas: unam vocavi Gratiam et alteram vocavi Funiculum; et pavi gregem.
8 In a single month I did away with the three shepherds. I wearied of them, and they behaved badly toward me.	8 Etsuccidi tres pastores in mense uno, et taeduit eorum animam meam; siquidem etanimam eorum taeduit mei.
9 "I will not feed you," I said. "What is to die, let it die; what is to perish, let it perish, and let those that are left devour one another's flesh."	9 Et dixi: “ Non pascam vos. Quae moritura est,moriatur; et, quae succidenda est, succidatur; et reliquae devorent unaquaequecarnem proximae suae ”.
10 Then I took my staff "Favor" and snapped it asunder, breaking off the covenant which I had made with all peoples;	10 Et tuli virgam meam, quae vocabatur Gratia, etabscidi eam, ut irritum facerem foedus meum, quod percussi cum omnibus populis.
11 that day it was broken off. The sheep merchants who were watching me understood that this was the word of the LORD.	11 Et irritum factum est in die illa; et cognoverunt mercatores gregis, quiobservabant me, quia verbum Domini est.
12 I said to them, "If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, let it go." And they counted out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.	12 Et dixi ad eos: “ Si bonum est inoculis vestris, afferte mercedem meam et, si non, quiescite ”. Et appenderuntmercedem meam triginta siclos argenteos.
13 But the LORD said to me, "Throw it in the treasury, the handsome price at which they valued me." So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the treasury in the house of the LORD.	13 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Proiceillud in thesaurum, decorum pretium, quo appretiatus sum ab eis ”. Et tuli triginta siclos argenteos et proieci illos in domum Domini in thesaurum.
14 Then I snapped asunder my other staff, "Bonds," breaking off the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.	14 Et praecidi virgam meam secundam, quae appellabatur Funiculus, ut dissolveremgermanitatem inter Iudam et Israel.
15 The LORD said to me: This time take the gear of a foolish shepherd.	15 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Adhuc sume tibi vasa pastoris stulti;
16 For I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will take no note of those that perish, nor seek the strays, nor heal the injured, nor feed what survives--he will eat the flesh of the fat ones and tear off their hoofs!	16 quia ecce ego suscitabo pastorem in terra, qui perituram ovem non visitabit, dispersam non quaeret et contritam non sanabit et stantem non sustinebit et carnes pinguium comedet et ungulas earum confringet.
17 Woe to my foolish shepherd who forsakes the flock! May the sword fall upon his arm and upon his right eye; Let his arm wither away entirely, and his right eye be blind forever!	17 Vae stulto meo pastori derelinquenti gregem! Gladius super brachium eius et super oculum dextrum eius; brachium eius ariditate siccetur, et oculus dexter eius tenebrescens obscuretur ”.
