Zechariah 11

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Open your gateways, Lebanon, and the fire shal burn down your cedar trees!	1 Aperi, Libane, portas tuas, et comedat ignis cedros tuas.
2 Wail, juniper, for the cedar tree has fal en, the majestic ones have been ravaged! Wail, oaks ofBashan, for the impenetrable forest has been fel ed!	2 Ulula, abies, quia cecidit cedrus, quoniam magnifici vastati sunt; ululate, quercus Basan, quoniam corruit saltus impervius.
3 The sound of the wailing of shepherds! Their majesty has been ravaged. The sound of the roaring ofyoung lions! The pride of the Jordan has been ravaged.	3 Vox ululatus pastorum, quia vastata est magnificentia eorum; vox rugitus leonum, quoniam vastata est superbia Iordanis.
4 Yahweh my God says this, 'Pasture the sheep for slaughter,	4 Haec dicit Dominus Deus meus: “ Pasce pecora occisionis.
5 whose buyers kil them and go unpunished, whose sel ers say of them, "Blessed be Yahweh; now I amrich!" and whose own shepherds show them no pity.	5 Quae, qui emunt,occidunt et non dolent; et, qui vendunt ea, dicunt: “Benedictus Dominus! Divesfactus sum”. Et pastores eorum non miserentur eorum.
6 For I shal show no further pity for the inhabitants of the country -- Yahweh declares! Instead, I shalput everyone into the clutches of a neighbour, into the clutches of the king. They wil crush the country and I shalnot rescue anyone from their clutches.'	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 Then I pastured for slaughter the sheep belonging to the sheep-dealers. I took two staves: the one Ical ed 'Goodwill', the other 'Couplers'; and I pastured the sheep myself,	7 Et ego pavi pecus occisionis pro mercatoribus gregis. Et assumpsi mihi duasvirgas: unam vocavi Gratiam et alteram vocavi Funiculum; et pavi gregem.
8 getting rid of three shepherds in one month. But I lost patience with them, and they equal y detestedme.	8 Etsuccidi tres pastores in mense uno, et taeduit eorum animam meam; siquidem etanimam eorum taeduit mei.
9 I then said, 'I am not going to pasture you any more; the one doomed to die can die; the one doomedto perish can perish; and the rest can devour one another.'	9 Et dixi: “ Non pascam vos. Quae moritura est,moriatur; et, quae succidenda est, succidatur; et reliquae devorent unaquaequecarnem proximae suae ”.
10 I then took my staff, 'Goodwil ', and broke it in half, to break my covenant, which I had made with althe peoples.	10 Et tuli virgam meam, quae vocabatur Gratia, etabscidi eam, ut irritum facerem foedus meum, quod percussi cum omnibus populis.
11 When it was broken, that day the sheep-dealers, who were watching me, realised that this had beena word of Yahweh.	11 Et irritum factum est in die illa; et cognoverunt mercatores gregis, quiobservabant me, quia verbum Domini est.
12 I then said to them, 'If you see fit, give me my wages; if not, never mind.' So they weighed out mywages: thirty shekels 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 Yahweh said to me, 'Throw it to the smelter, this princely sum at which they have valued me!' Takingthe thirty shekels of silver, I threw them into the Temple of Yahweh, for the smelter.	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 I then broke my second staff, 'Couplers,' in half, to rupture the brotherly relationship between Judahand Israel.	14 Et praecidi virgam meam secundam, quae appellabatur Funiculus, ut dissolveremgermanitatem inter Iudam et Israel.
15 Next, Yahweh said to me, 'This time, take the gear of a good-for-nothing shepherd.	15 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Adhuc sume tibi vasa pastoris stulti;
16 For I am now going to raise a shepherd in this country, who wil not bother about the lost, who will notgo in search of the stray, who wil not heal the injured, who wil not support the swollen, but who wil eat the meatof the fat ones, tearing off their very 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 Disaster to the shepherd who deserts his flock! May the sword attack his arm and his right eye! Mayhis arm shrivel completely and his right eye be total y blinded!'	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 ”.
