Zechariah 11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars!	1 ܦܬܚ ܠܒܢܢ ܬܪܥܝܟ ܘܬܐܟܘܠ ܢܘܪܐ ܠܐܪܙܝܟ
2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, for the glorious trees are ruined! Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the thick forest has been felled!	2 ܢܝܠܠ ܫܪܘܝܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܦܠ ܐܪܙܐ ܘܥܫܝܢܐ ܐܬܒܙܙܘ ܢܝܠܠܘܢ ܒܠܘܛܐ ܕܒܝܫܢ ܕܢܦܠ ܥܒܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ
3 Hark, the wail of the shepherds, for their glory is despoiled! Hark, the roar of the lions, for the jungle of the Jordan is laid waste!	3 ܩܠܐ ܕܝܠܠܬܐ ܕܪܥܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܒܙܬ ܪܒܘܬܗܘܢ ܩܠܐ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܕܢܗܡܝܢ ܕܐܬܒܙܙ ܥܘܫܢܗ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ
4 Thus said the LORD my God: "Become shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter.	4 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܪܥܝ ܠܥܢܐ ܩܛܝܢܬܐ
5 Those who buy them slay them and go unpunished; and those who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD, I have become rich'; and their own shepherds have no pity on them.	5 ܕܙܒܘܢܝܗܝܢ ܩܛܠܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܝܒܝܢ ܘܡܙܒܢܢܝܗܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܪܝܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܥܬܪܢ ܘܪܥܘܬܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܚܝܣܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ
6 For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of this land, says the LORD. Lo, I will cause men to fall each into the hand of his shepherd, and each into the hand of his king; and they shall crush the earth, and I will deliver none from their hand."	6 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܚܐܣ ܐܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܥܠ ܥܡܘܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܗܐ ܡܫܠܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܢܫ ܒܝܕ ܚܒܪܗ ܘܒܝܕ ܡܠܟܗ ܘܢܦܠܓܘܢܗ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܦܨܝܗ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ
7 So I became the shepherd of the flock doomed to be slain for those who trafficked in the sheep. And I took two staffs; one I named Grace, the other I named Union. And I tended the sheep.	7 ܘܪܥܝܬ ܠܥܢܐ ܩܛܝܢܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܘܢܣܒܬ ܠܝ ܬܪܝܢ ܚܘܛܪܝܢ ܠܚܕ ܩܪܝܬ ܒܣܝܡܐ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܚܒܠܐ ܘܪܥܝܬ ܠܥܢܐ
8 In one month I destroyed the three shepherds. But I became impatient with them, and they also detested me.	8 ܘܐܘܒܕܬ ܬܠܬܐ ܪܥܘܬܐ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܚܕ ܘܡܐܢܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܦ ܢܦܫܬܗܘܢ ܥܘܝ ܥܠܝ
9 So I said, "I will not be your shepherd. What is to die, let it die; what is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed; and let those that are left devour the flesh of one another."	9 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܕܠܐ ܐܪܥܝܟܘܢ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܬܡܘܬ ܘܕܐܒܕܐ ܬܐܒܕ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܫܬܚܪܐ ܬܐܟܘܠ ܒܣܪܐ ܕܚܒܪܬܗ
10 And I took my staff Grace, and I broke it, annulling the covenant which I had made with all the peoples.	10 ܘܢܣܒܬ ܚܘܛܪܝ ܒܣܝܡܐ ܘܬܒܪܬܗ ܕܢܒܛܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܕܐܩܝܡܬ ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ
11 So it was annulled on that day, and the traffickers in the sheep, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the LORD.	11 ܘܒܛܠ ܒܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܘܝܕܥܘ ܡܟܝܟܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܕܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܝ ܕܦܬܓܡܗ ܗܘ ܕܡܪܝܐ
12 Then I said to them, "If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them." And they weighed out as my wages thirty shekels of silver.	12 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܒܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܗܒܘ ܠܝ ܐܓܪܝ ܐܘ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܬܩܠܘܗܝ ܠܐܓܪܝ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܕܟܣܦܐ
13 Then the LORD said to me, "Cast it into the treasury" --the lordly price at which I was paid off by them. So I took the thirty shekels of silver and cast them into the treasury in the house of the LORD.	13 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܪܡܝܗܝ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܐܝܩܪܐ ܕܐܘܩܪܬ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܢܣܒܬ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܕܟܣܦܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
14 Then I broke my second staff Union, annulling the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.	14 ܘܬܒܪܬ ܠܚܒܠܐ ܚܘܛܪܝ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܒܛܠ ܐܘܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ
15 Then the LORD said to me, "Take once more the implements of a worthless shepherd.	15 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܬܘܒ ܣܒ ܠܟ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܪܥܝܐ ܒܘܪܐ
16 For lo, I am raising up in the land a shepherd who does not care for the perishing, or seek the wandering, or heal the maimed, or nourish the sound, but devours the flesh of the fat ones, tearing off even their hoofs.	16 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܩܝܡ ܐܢܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܒܕܢ ܠܐ ܢܦܩܘܕ ܘܕܛܥܝܢ ܠܐ ܢܒܥܐ ܘܕܬܒܝܪܢ ܠܐ ܢܥܨܘܒ ܘܕܟܪܝܗܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܣܐ ܘܕܩܝܡܢ ܠܐ ܢܬܪܣܐ ܘܒܣܪܐ ܕܫܡܝܢܬܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܘܟܪܥܝܗܝܢ ܢܥܪܩ
17 Woe to my worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword smite his arm and his right eye! Let his arm be wholly withered, his right eye utterly blinded!"	17 ܐܘ ܪܥܝܐ ܒܘܪܐ ܕܫܒܩܬ ܥܢܐ ܥܠ ܕܪܥܟ ܘܥܠ ܥܝܢܟ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܪܥܟ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܢܐܒܫ ܘܥܝܢܟ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܬܣܡܐ
