LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 διανοιξον ο λιβανος τας θυρας σου και καταφαγετω πυρ τας κεδρους σου	1 Open your gates, Lebanon, and let fire consume your cedars.
2 ολολυξατω πιτυς διοτι πεπτωκεν κεδρος οτι μεγαλως μεγιστανες εταλαιπωρησαν ολολυξατε δρυες της βασανιτιδος οτι κατεσπασθη ο δρυμος ο συμφυτος	2 Howl, you fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the magnificent have been devastated. Howl, you oaks of Bashan, because the secure forest passage has been cut down.
3 φωνη θρηνουντων ποιμενων οτι τεταλαιπωρηκεν η μεγαλωσυνη αυτων φωνη ωρυομενων λεοντων οτι τεταλαιπωρηκεν το φρυαγμα του ιορδανου	3 The voice of the howling of the shepherds: for their magnificence has been devastated. The voice of the roaring of the lions: because the arrogance of the Jordan has been devastated.
4 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ποιμαινετε τα προβατα της σφαγης	4 Thus says the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,
5 α οι κτησαμενοι κατεσφαζον και ου μετεμελοντο και οι πωλουντες αυτα ελεγον ευλογητος κυριος και πεπλουτηκαμεν και οι ποιμενες αυτων ουκ επασχον ουδεν επ' αυτοις	5 which those who possessed them cut down, and they did not feel sorrow, and they sold them, saying: “Blessed be the Lord; we have become wealthy. Even their shepherds did not spare them.”
6 δια τουτο ου φεισομαι ουκετι επι τους κατοικουντας την γην λεγει κυριος και ιδου εγω παραδιδωμι τους ανθρωπους εκαστον εις χειρας του πλησιον αυτου και εις χειρας βασιλεως αυτου και κατακοψουσιν την γην και ου μη εξελωμαι εκ χειρος αυτων	6 And so, I will no longer spare the inhabitants upon the earth, says the Lord. Behold, I will deliver men, each one into the hand of his neighbor and into the hand of his king. And they will cut down the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand.
7 και ποιμανω τα προβατα της σφαγης εις την χαναανιτιν και λημψομαι εμαυτω δυο ραβδους την μιαν εκαλεσα καλλος και την ετεραν εκαλεσα σχοινισμα και ποιμανω τα προβατα	7 And I will pasture the flock of the slaughter, because of this, O poor of the flock. And I took to myself two staffs: the one I called Handsome, and the other I called Rope, and I pastured the flock.
8 και εξαρω τους τρεις ποιμενας εν μηνι ενι και βαρυνθησεται η ψυχη μου επ' αυτους και γαρ αι ψυχαι αυτων επωρυοντο επ' εμε	8 And I cut down three shepherds in one month. And my soul became contracted concerning them, just as their soul also varied concerning me.
9 και ειπα ου ποιμανω υμας το αποθνησκον αποθνησκετω και το εκλειπον εκλειπετω και τα καταλοιπα κατεσθιετωσαν εκαστος τας σαρκας του πλησιον αυτου	9 And I said: I will not pasture you. Whatever dies, let it die. And whatever is cut down, let it be cut down. And let the rest of them devour, each one the flesh of his neighbor.
10 και λημψομαι την ραβδον μου την καλην και απορριψω αυτην του διασκεδασαι την διαθηκην μου ην διεθεμην προς παντας τους λαους	10 And I took my staff, which was called Handsome, and I tore it apart, so as to invalidate my pact, which I had struck with all of the people.
11 και διασκεδασθησεται εν τη ημερα εκεινη και γνωσονται οι χαναναιοι τα προβατα τα φυλασσομενα διοτι λογος κυριου εστιν	11 And it became invalid in that day. And so they understood, just like the poor of the flock who stay close to me, that this is the word of the Lord.
12 και ερω προς αυτους ει καλον ενωπιον υμων εστιν δοτε στησαντες τον μισθον μου η απειπασθε και εστησαν τον μισθον μου τριακοντα αργυρους	12 And I said to them: If it is good in your eyes, bring me my wages. And if not, remain still. And they weighed for my wages thirty silver coins.
13 και ειπεν κυριος προς με καθες αυτους εις το χωνευτηριον και σκεψαι ει δοκιμον εστιν ον τροπον εδοκιμασθην υπερ αυτων και ελαβον τους τριακοντα αργυρους και ενεβαλον αυτους εις τον οικον κυριου εις το χωνευτηριον	13 And the Lord said to me: Cast it towards the statuary, the handsome price at which I have been valued by them. And I took the thirty silver coins, and I cast them into the house of the Lord, towards the statuary.
14 και απερριψα την ραβδον την δευτεραν το σχοινισμα του διασκεδασαι την κατασχεσιν ανα μεσον ιουδα και ανα μεσον του ισραηλ	14 And I cut short my second staff, which was called Rope, so that I might dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 και ειπεν κυριος προς με ετι λαβε σεαυτω σκευη ποιμενικα ποιμενος απειρου	15 And the Lord said to me: Still they are to you the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 διοτι ιδου εγω εξεγειρω ποιμενα επι την γην το εκλιμπανον ου μη επισκεψηται και το διεσκορπισμενον ου μη ζητηση και το συντετριμμενον ου μη ιασηται και το ολοκληρον ου μη κατευθυνη και τα κρεα των εκλεκτων καταφαγεται και τους αστραγαλους αυτων εκστρεψει	16 For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish what remains standing, and he will consume the flesh of the fatted ones and break their hoofs.
17 ω οι ποιμαινοντες τα ματαια και οι καταλελοιποτες τα προβατα μαχαιρα επι τους βραχιονας αυτου και επι τον οφθαλμον τον δεξιον αυτου ο βραχιων αυτου ξηραινομενος ξηρανθησεται και ο οφθαλμος ο δεξιος αυτου εκτυφλουμενος εκτυφλωθησεται	17 O shepherd and idol, abandoning the flock, with a sword upon his arm and over his right eye: his arm will be withered by drought, and his right eye will be obscured by darkness.
