Zachariæ 11

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Aperi, Libane, portas tuas, et comedat ignis cedros tuas.	1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars!
2 Ulula, abies, quia cecidit cedrus, quoniam magnifici vastati sunt; ululate, quercus Basan, quoniam corruit saltus impervius.	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!
3 Vox ululatus pastorum, quia vastata est magnificentia eorum; vox rugitus leonum, quoniam vastata est superbia Iordanis.	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!
4 Haec dicit Dominus Deus meus: “ Pasce pecora occisionis.	4 Thus said the LORD my God: "Become shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter.
5 Quae, qui emunt,occidunt et non dolent; et, qui vendunt ea, dicunt: “Benedictus Dominus! Divesfactus sum”. Et pastores eorum non miserentur eorum.	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.
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 ”.	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."
7 Et ego pavi pecus occisionis pro mercatoribus gregis. Et assumpsi mihi duasvirgas: unam vocavi Gratiam et alteram vocavi Funiculum; et pavi gregem.	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.
8 Etsuccidi tres pastores in mense uno, et taeduit eorum animam meam; siquidem etanimam eorum taeduit mei.	8 In one month I destroyed the three shepherds. But I became impatient with them, and they also detested me.
9 Et dixi: “ Non pascam vos. Quae moritura est,moriatur; et, quae succidenda est, succidatur; et reliquae devorent unaquaequecarnem proximae suae ”.	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."
10 Et tuli virgam meam, quae vocabatur Gratia, etabscidi eam, ut irritum facerem foedus meum, quod percussi cum omnibus populis.	10 And I took my staff Grace, and I broke it, annulling the covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
11 Et irritum factum est in die illa; et cognoverunt mercatores gregis, quiobservabant me, quia verbum Domini est.	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.
12 Et dixi ad eos: “ Si bonum est inoculis vestris, afferte mercedem meam et, si non, quiescite ”. Et appenderuntmercedem meam triginta siclos argenteos.	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.
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.	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.
14 Et praecidi virgam meam secundam, quae appellabatur Funiculus, ut dissolveremgermanitatem inter Iudam et Israel.	14 Then I broke my second staff Union, annulling the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Adhuc sume tibi vasa pastoris stulti;	15 Then the LORD said to me, "Take once more the implements of a worthless shepherd.
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.	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.
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 ”.	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!"
