Zechariah 11

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 Open thy gates, 0 Libanus, and let fire devour thy cedars.	1 Aperi, Libane, portas tuas, et comedat ignis cedros tuas.
2 Howl, thou fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, for the mighty are laid waste: howl, ye oaks of Basan, because the fenced forest is cut down.	2 Ulula, abies, quia cecidit cedrus, quoniam magnifici vastati sunt; ululate, quercus Basan, quoniam corruit saltus impervius.
3 The voice of the howling of the shepherds, because their glory is laid waste: the voice of the roaring of the lions, because the pride of the Jordan is spoiled.	3 Vox ululatus pastorum, quia vastata est magnificentia eorum; vox rugitus leonum, quoniam vastata est superbia Iordanis.
4 Thus saith the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,	4 Haec dicit Dominus Deus meus: “ Pasce pecora occisionis.
5 Which they that possessed, slew, and repented not, and they sold them, saying: Blessed be the Lord, we are become rich: and their shepherds spared them not.	5 Quae, qui emunt,occidunt et non dolent; et, qui vendunt ea, dicunt: “Benedictus Dominus! Divesfactus sum”. Et pastores eorum non miserentur eorum.
6 And I will no more spare the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: behold I will deliver the men, every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall destroy the land, and I will not deliver it out of their hand.	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 And I will feed the hock of slaughter for this, O ye poor of the dock. And I took unto me two rods, one I called Beauty, and the other I called a Cord, 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 And I cut off three shepherds in one month, and my soul was straitened in their regard: for their soul also varied in my regard.	8 Etsuccidi tres pastores in mense uno, et taeduit eorum animam meam; siquidem etanimam eorum taeduit mei.
9 And I said: I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die: and that which is cut off, let it be cut off: and let the rest devour every one the flesh of his neighbour.	9 Et dixi: “ Non pascam vos. Quae moritura est,moriatur; et, quae succidenda est, succidatur; et reliquae devorent unaquaequecarnem proximae suae ”.
10 And I took my rod that was called Beauty, and I cut it asunder to make void my covenant, which I had made with all people.	10 Et tuli virgam meam, quae vocabatur Gratia, etabscidi eam, ut irritum facerem foedus meum, quod percussi cum omnibus populis.
11 And it was made void in that day: and so the poor of the flock that keep for me, understood that it is the word of the Lord.	11 Et irritum factum est in die illa; et cognoverunt mercatores gregis, quiobservabant me, quia verbum Domini est.
12 And I said to them: If it be good in your eyes, bring hither my wages: and if not, be quiet. And they weighed for 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 And the Lord said to me: Cast it to the statuary, a handsome price, that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and I cast them into the house of the Lord to the statuary.	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 And I cut off my second rod that was called a Cord, that I might break the brotherhood between Juda and Israel.	14 Et praecidi virgam meam secundam, quae appellabatur Funiculus, ut dissolveremgermanitatem inter Iudam et Israel.
15 And the Lord said to me: Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.	15 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Adhuc sume tibi vasa pastoris stulti;
16 For behold I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish that which standeth, and he shall eat the flesh of the fat ones, and break 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 O shepherd, and idol, that forsaketh the flock: the sword upon his arm and upon his right eye: his arm shall quite wither away, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.	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 ”.
